DEMOCRATS CAUGHT IN OWN TRAP

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Sept. ~lO.-(special.l
The recent decision OF the state supreme
court sustaining the action Of d. d. wipf.
secretary OF state, In refusing to certify to
the auditors OF the various counties Of
South Dakota the nominees of the demo-
cratic state convention at Rapid City, so
the names could be placed urder the reg
ular democratic head OF the official bal
lots, is. the republicans say. a knockout
blow for the democrats.
The republicans further say the demo-
Gratis received no more than they deserved,
They poirt out that the democrats were
playing what they considered a very foxy"
game and simply got caught In their own
trap.
Instead OF submitting q complete ticket
at the June primaries they presented can
didates for only a few OF the offices. This,
the republicans charge, was done with mall
ice aforethought and for the sole purpose
OF enabling them to be in a position to take
advantage Of any republican mistakes whom
they met in the Rapid city convention 10
ill the remainder OF their ticket.
This course, IL Is further pointed out by
the republicans, was followed, notwith-
standing that the state primary law clearly
states Just what nominations can legally be
made at a state convention.
Under the decision Of the state supreme
court the names OF the nominees OF the
Rapid City convention Will have TO be
printed in a column separate from that part
OF the democratic ticket which was nomi-
mated In the June primaries.
This cannot do otherwise than cause great
confusion among democratic voters. and the
republicans say win result In the democrats,

Olympic Runner Describes the Much
Discussed 400 Meter Race.

e Dlscussed fuo Meter Race.
William G. Robbins, the Cambridge
Y. NJ. C. A. quarter miller, the first of
the American trio to arrive home that
figured in that memorable 400 meter
race at the Olympic games at London,
in speaking Of the event said: mike
Murphy, the trainer, said for me to
run my own race and said the same to
Carpenter and Taylor before we were
called to the line and added, May one
Of you, and the best man, win
II darted into the pole in the first
fifty yards and carried my flight of
speed all the way. Rounding the turn
I was leading. When halfway round
the bend noticed man come from
the outside of the track and yell to the
others behind me that it was no race
1 kept going, however, and entered the
stretch in the lead, with both Carpen-
ter and Halswelle following close to
me.
Carpenter passed me on the outside
and Of course carried the Britisher
out with him. We three raced for
good distance on even terms until Car
penter finally passed me. Halswelle
also headed me for short way out,
but when saw he was firing set out
to get second or better, and In the last
fifty yards I passed him and finished
second to Carpenter
''The latter never ran fairer race
and it was great surprise to me when
I heard Carpenter had been disquali-
fed. never had q better race in my
life, and it was simply a race all the
way. At least that is what made it.
Going to the dressing rooms after the
race, Taylor told me that he was sim
ply run off his feet and could not have
given either Carpenter, Halswelle or
myself battle. He said that Halls
welle also acted the same, as the Brit
isher's running in the last part Of the
race was an evidence that he had been
run into the earth. s.>
''Halswelle himself is a good fellow,
and neither I nor any Of us has any
thing to say against him. It was be-
lieved by many that he had gone stale.
1t was reported that Carpenter did bet
ter than 4S seconds for the distance,
and, judging from what did in my
seminal heat, which was recorded in
40 seconds, it must have been so, for I
ran faster, and he beat me good" ;.
