GAMBLE IN POWER,
KITTREDGE WAVES
South Dakota Senatorial Sit
uation ReverseS Early
Reports.

Conflicting claims about the outcome
or the election in South Dakota have
been extensively circulated IN the East,
some OF them going so far as 10 present
the possibility that Senator Gamble may
fail of return TO the Senate. Recent ad-
vices from that State indicate that In
stead OF Senator Gamble being in dan
ger of defeat, the chance Is much more
serious that Senator Kittredge Will fail
Of return at the next election. and that
George /. Crawford. governOT-eiect, Will
succeed him.
The sweeping victory OF Senator Gam
bic last spring IN the State primaries
was one OF the wonders OF the year 8
politics. Claims on behalf OF the Kit
tredge machine had been 50 confident
and overwhelming that Il was widely
supposed that Gamble was altogether
likely 10 lose Instead, when the DTi-
T9aries We're NoYer il fell out that the
state was for Gamble by an overwhelm-
ing majority. The Republican State
convention instructed FOR him and most
OF the county conventions likewise in
dOrsed him when they named their can
didates for legislators.
Probably sixteen and possibly seven
teen IS the total Of Democratic member

cor ding 10 reports; the remainder OF the
i34 members are Republicans. and a
large majority OF the Republicans are

Republican combination with the Demo

Much greater interest attaches TO the
assurance, which also comes from South
Dakota, that the fight for the succession

pushed by the Gamble-C Crawford COM
bination, and that everything now IA

FIGHT BY M'CUMBER
FOR GRAIN GRADING
North Dakota Senator Here
Working for Federal
Inspection.

Senator McCumber Of North Dakota
is back in Washington. ready to renew
his fight for Federal inspection and
grading of grain. In behalf OF the peO-
pie OF the Dakotas. Minnesota, Iowa.
and the grain belt IN general the Sen
atoT last winter opened up this contest
with notable speech. which attracted
wide attention. lie succeeded in the
only effort he made at that time which
was 10 secure small appropriation for
Federal investigation In order to deter
mine whether a scientific and uniform
method OF grading grain can be devised.
The Senator is row prepared 10 press
the matter further. He understands. as
a result OF the Investigations that have
been Eeid under the Department OF Agri-
culture, there Is good reason TO expect
that the desired system will be evolved
The senator now wants 70 have Il put
Into operation just as soon as possible
and To that end VIII present some meas
uTe.
One powerful argument is that foreign
buyers Of American grain have lately
been protesting violently against the
system. or rather lack OF system. that
governs American gradings.
