Dole, Dukakis lead in Midwest
Gephardt wins South Dakota
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Michael Dukakis won Minnesota's Democratic caucuses yesterday and posted a strong second to Richard Gephardt's victory in neighboring South Dakota
As the two duled for the mantle of Democratic front-runner, Dukakis had a prophecy for the still muddled race; "This is a marathon. It's going to be a long one."
"We did well in these two states which are a long way from Massachusetts and very much in the backyard of some of the rest of these candidates," Dukakis said in New York City, referring to Gephardt, the Missouri congressman, and Paul Simon, the Illinois senator.

"It's a great victory in South Dakota," countered Gephardt, from Texas. "Tonight is a Gephardt night."
Simon pinned his future on a third place showing in Minnesota, but he trailed far behind in South Dakota as considering quitting the race.
With 99 percent of the South Dakota vote counted, Gephardt had 44 percent, followed by Dukakis at 31 percent. Trailing were Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore Jr. at 8 percent, Simon at 6 percent and both Gary Hart and Jesse Jackson at 5 percent
With 58 percent of the vote in Minnesota, Dukakis had 34 percent, Jackson 19 percent, Simon 18 percent, Gephardt 8 percent, and uncommitted 19 percent. Gore and Hart each had 1 percent.
Bush outdone by Robertson
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole won South Dakota's Republican presidential primary yesterday and took an early lead in GOP caucuses in Minnesota.
But Pat Robertson had his sights set on an upset in Minnesota, where the caucus system was similar to the Iowa setting in which the former television evangelist stunned party regulars two weeks ago.
"I took South Dakota very seriously," Dole said in Sioux Falls, S.D.
"Let the message go out that it pays to come to South Dakota."
He referred to his New Hampshire defeat of a week ago and said, "It's a lot more fun winning."
Returns from 70 percent of the precincts in South Dakota gave Dole 57 percent, Robertson 19 percent, George Bush 18 percent and Jack Kemp 4 percent.
In Minnesota, with returns in from 24 percent of the precincts, Dole had 43 percent. Robertson 28 percent, Kemp 15 percent and Bush 10 percent.
Vice President George Bush, swamped by Dole and Robertson in the Iowa caucuses, sidedesteped the Midwest contests and headed directly South after his New Hampshire primary victory.
Rep. Jack Kemp of New York was in a do-or-die effort to make a competitive showing in one of the Midwest states. On the last weekend of the campaign, Kemp inundated South Dakota with biographical television commercials that emphasized family values, and he spent most of the weekend campaigning in Minnesota.
