EGAN TALKS.
George w. Egan, Candidate For Gov.
ernor Visits Hot Springs.


George w. Egan, of Sioux Falls,
candidate for governor on the straight
Republican ticket, spoke at the New
Opera House last Saturday evening.
His reputation as the lawyer who pros
ecuted the Kaufman case gained for
him large audience. His speech
dealt chiefly with the disbarment pro-
oeedings instituted against him after
that famous trial and with the political
platform on which he is asking for the
office Of governor. To say he is q very
fluent speaker is not fattering him in
the least and to say that parts of his
speeches are very vitrolic would be
telling the truth. Both factions of the
Republican party came in for their
share Of roasting which is but natural
during campaign Whether he was
sufficiently convincing in his argu-
ments here and in other parts of the
state to get the nomination on June
7th remains to be seen. Sunday fore.
noon he lectured at the State Home
before the old soldiers. His talk there
was not q political one but one used
during his lecture course engagements.
He departed Monday for Rapid City
and other Northern Hills cities to finish
up his campaign in the Black Hills.
