Republicans From Getting 1t.
PIERRE. S. D.-While there is prac-
tically no opposition to republicanism in
South Dakota, with the opening of the
campaign, Sept Is, the work will be
pushed as vigorously as if a hot con-
test were on. A strong effort will be made
to secure majority Of 10000 or more,
and the only thing which can possibly
cause failure is the fact that republican
voters will feel it is not necessary for
them to get out on account OF the I'M
mense majority expected, and Will allow
the vote to be light by neglect.
The last legislature did not contain
enough opposition members to make po-
litical matters interesting, and the COM
ing session promises to have even fewer
Of the opposition. Codington county may
be an exception, as a so-called non-partl-
Ran legislative ticket has been put in
the field by a few republicans, and In case
they succeed in defeating the regular
nominees that county will probably have
the only anti-republican delegation in the
session. and be the only break in the
solid line.
In Beadle county there is a slight rip

was circulated securing the names OF
most Of the leading citizens Of that coun-

candidate for the state senate, and John

lower house. On the strength of this pc
tition they consented to run. and the
outcome Is an anonymous circular letter
being sent out from Huron, which at
lacks them and urges the selection or
other legislative candidates.
Several old members will come back
