CAMPAIGNING IN DAKOTA.
Two Young Women Candidates Brave
Wi1ds to See Voters.

One of the most unique campaigns
ever waced will be that between the
two candidates for the office of county
superintendent Of Butte county. says a
Belle Fourche Is. d. correspondent of
the St Paul Dispatch. The two young
ladies who are running for the office
are both superintendent. one, Miss
Elsie Malcolm. having served her two
terms in Butte county, and the other.
Miss Susie Bird, having done equal
duty in Meade county. They are both
experienced politicians.
In order to make their campaign they
will have to cover as much territory as
would the governor Of Massachusetts
in his campaign. for Butte county Is
easily the size of Massachusetts, and
could swallow Rhode Island and not
know it. But no such means of trans
portation are available for these ladies
as there would be were they back in
the Bay State, for large part of the
northern part of Butte county is but
newly settled, and there are stretches
Of country that know no settlers save
the prairie dog.
Over this country, often alone, in
little blackboard or ON the back of

less than 200 miles, these intrepid girls
must go to meet the voters of Butte
county. Often their way will lie
among the COW ranches and not seldom
through the moving camps of cowboys
or sheep herders. Out in the northern
part of Butte county a great number
of new settlers have come recently, at
tracted by the prospective route of the
Milwaukee railroad. Down in the
southern part is also new population,
employed on the government ditch.
How all of these strangers are going
to vote no one yet knows. Their poll
tics is unknown, and the young lady
that reaches them first Is likely to
prove the winner. Because of so many
new settlers the entire county Of Butte
is in doubt, and neither party claims
1t with any confidence. Both of the
young women candidates are attractive
