Boies Narrowly Leads Dawson in Eleventh District
Unofficial returns from all counties show W D Boies of Sheldon winning the Eleventh District race for Congress over W P Dawson by about 410 votes. The result reflects close contest with farmers in fields delaying some support and Sioux City and Woodbury County backing for Dawson. County-by-county totals indicate Boies ahead in most counties with Dawson carrying a few, including Sioux and Woodbury.
