tween the two factions two years ago,
interest will be centered in the make
up of the two republican tickets which
will come before the voters Of the
state ON June Z. The latest predic-
ton is that the staiwart ticket will
be made up about as follows:
For Congress-Eben w. Martin, Law
renee county; Charles H. Burke,
Hughes (present incumbents.)
For Governors. II. Elrod, Clark.
For Ilieutenant GOVERNOR. w.
Parmley, Edmunds.
For State Treasurer-George C.
Johnson, Lincoln (present incum-
bent.)
For State Superintendent of Public
Instruction-Prof. c. II. Lugg, Hutch.
inson.
For Railroad Commissioner, western
district-Dr. w. G.. Smith, Meade
(present incumbent.)
Nothing deirite is as yet known
a. to who will be the candidates Of
the stalwarts for state commissioner
of school and public lands, state audi
tor, attorney general II secretary
of state.
Present indications are that the pro-
gressive republican ticket will be
made up as follows:
For Congress-Thomcs Thorson. of
Lincoln county or NJ. D.. CLANCY, Of
Clay, for the eastern district, with the
possibility that John F. Schradcr, Of
Pennington, will be selected in the
Black Hills district.
For Governor-RCbert S. Wesley,
Jcrauld (present incurbent.)
For Lieutenant Governor-Frank
M. Bryne, Faux.
For Secretary of States. G. Pol
ley, Lawrence (present incumbent.)
Fer Attorney General-Royal G..
Johnson, Hyde. .
For State Superintendent of Public
InstructiOn-Prof. c. G. Lawrence, Lin
coin.
For Commissioner of School and
Public Lands. f. Trulan, Deuel.;
N. M. Hanson, Stanley, or F. F. Brink
err, Lake.
State Auditor-E. l.. Lampe, Cod
ington.
So far as observed no candidate on
the progressive republican ticket for
state treasurer or for railroad COM
missioner from the Black Hills dis
trict has yet appeared in the field.
John F. Schrader, of Pennington
county, who is mentioned in connec
tion with one of the congressional posi-
tions on the progressive ticket two
years ago was the candidate of the
stalwarts for lieutenant governor, but
was defeated by Howard c. Shober,
of the interior department at Wash
ington.
1t is not positively known that Mr..
Schrader has deserted the stalwarts,
but he announced his candidacy for
congress on an anti-Canncn platform
and it is believed will be satisfactory
to the progressives of the state in
general as their candidate in the Black
Hills against Congressman Martin.
E. l.. Lampe, mentioned for state
auditor on the progressive ticket, is
the present county auditor of Cooling
ton county.
In addition to selecting q full cen
gressional and state ticket, two judges
of the state supreme court also will
have to be elected this year., to sue
coed Judges E. G.. Smith and ]. II.
Mccoy, the former a resident of Yank-
ton county, and the latter a resident
Of Brown. While not actively affili-
ated with either faction Of the rcpubi-
can party, both are supposed to lean
toward the stalwart wing Of the party.
However, thus far NJ candidates have
been mentioned to oppose them, and
it may develop that they will have no
opposition to their reelection.
1t is not generally known that
judges of the s'ate circuit court also
will have to be elected next November
in all of the nine judicial circuits Of
the state, and that the voters Of each
district, at the June primaries, will
have to select a candidate for the
judgeship to go upon their party tick
ct, which will come before the voters
at the election In November.
Now that the republican factionists
are buckling on their armor prelimin-
