Sioux Falls, S. D., Mar. 25.-(By the A. P.)--Presidential preferences and United States senatorial and state office nominations are being determined in a state-wide primary election in South Dakota today.
Both in the Republican and Democratic parties, presidential preferences are being voted on while in those two and the Farmer-Labor party senatorial and state office nominations are being made for the November election.
President Coolidge and Senator Hiram Johnson, seeking the Republican presidential endorsement, are dividing interest in the outcome of the primary with the senatorial contest in the same party between Governor W. H. McMaster and Senator Thomas Sterling. William Gibbs McAdoo, candidate for the presidential endorsement of the Democratic ticket, has opposition from a minority faction in that party which seeks to send an uninstructed delegation to the New York convention.
The balloting, starting at 8 a. m., continued until 5 p. m. but the unusually heavy tickets in all parties will make the task of tabulating the vote somewhat slow. Scattered showers overnight in the eastern part of the state after a heavy storm in the Black Hills country the latter part of last week were expected to interfere with rural traffic with a consequent reduction in the rural vote.
