APPOINTMENT OF
ENUMERATORS IS
COMPROMISE ACT
Senators and congressman Di.
verge in Wishes and Divide
the Prizes.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept 13.-An-
houncement of the appointment Of Dave
Wipf. of Parkston, former secretary
or state, and George B. Mansfield. Sec
retary Of the Rapid City Commercial
club. as census supervisors for South
Dakota. created great deal of interest
in the state. For it was we'll known
that the senator's on the one hand and
the congressman on the other had en-
gagged in long controversy as to which
should be allowed to recommend these
two officials. Wipf was supported by
the senators while Mansfield is regarded
as stalwart, indicating the president
had given one appointment to each of
the contending factions. The congress
men argued that they should be al
lowed to suggest both, because the con-
gressmen made the recommendations in
other states. Since the Missouri river
is the dividing line between the two
census districts in this state, the friends
OF the senators claim they got the big
end of the division in being allowed
to choose the supervisor east of the
river, which probably numbers three
fourths of the population. These SUI
pervisors will select the other census
appOlntees for the state.
