DEMOCRATS IN ACTION.

For the time being, Chauncey l..
Wood of Rapid City and w. w. Soule
also of Rapid City, candidates for
governor and congressman respective
ly have the field to themselves so far
as campaigning in South Dakota is
concerned. Candidate Wood is max
ing a few addresses, while Candidate
Soule is making personal calls upon
the voters IN different parts of the
state, says q Sioux Falls dispatch.
The tenor of the speeches thus far
made by Mr.. Wood show that he will
make his campaign upon the extrava-
gance issue-of which the voters of
the state heard so much during the
campaign eliminating in the primary
election of June Z, last. Candidate
Wood is using the leftover ammuni-
ton Of the stalwart republicans. The
progressive republicans, who at the
June primaries succeeded in landing
the greater part of their candidates,
declare that Candidate Wood will not
make much of a success Of the ex-
travagance issue than did the stalwart
republicans. There are evidences that
the voters of South Dakota, who gen.
orally concede that the growth of the
state has made larger appropriations
necessary, have become very weary
indeed of the talk of alleged extrava-
gance in the management of the state
affairs, and that it will be impossible
for any party or faction to make a
vote by continuing this issue before
the voters.
Mr.. Soule is conducting his cam
paign along won't you please walk in
to my parlor, says the spider to the
fly" lines. He is handing out cards
by the thousands upon which he an
nounces himself as a progressive can
didate for congress, the nominee of
the democratic party" He asks the
voters Of the state to vote for "prin-
ciple before party" for individual
rights before corporate rights" for
lower freight rates, state and inter
state" for revision of the tariff down
ward" for a square DEAL" and says
he is "anti-C annonism, anti-Aldrich-
ism, anti ickershamism, anti-Bauin.
gerism and anti-Lerimerism." In his
effort to capture the republican votes,
Nj. Soule says he is a democrat, but
not of the old school kind, and that
since he has became a voter he has ,
not hesitated to vote for republican
candidates when the republicans have
the better man. This state
ment win be Of interest to those old
line democrats in South Dakota who
boast that they have "voted 'er
straight" Mr.. Soule says further, az

lifted the paddle and made a stroke.
One was sufficient. The canoe had

from the shore. There were also shouts

Miss Elsie took it upon herself to re.

The judge turned and went into the
bungalow and sat down to think. He
was thinking for twenty minutes; then
his judicial opinion was ready. and he
came out and delivered it.
Eyes, it was very splendid and very
singular that he happened along just
then. Smart couple, you two! What

Had he done SO he would have learned
nothing to Graham's disadvantage.
On the day after the judges dictum
two young ladies paid a visit to Will
Graham's studio. While one Of them
wandered about looking at the pic
lures on the wall, the other had some
thing to say that was strictly private.
1t was a hard thing to say that the
young man had been forbidden the

as possible. to add:
"And you were telling me a few days
ago that you had a married sister liv-

JUllETTE AUTO TRY IT.

Juliette asks: Il love a young man,
oh, so we'll. His mother has promised
him a new automobile if he does not
get married in five years. l am %
years old. What can l do to win
him?"
This is a very sad case. Couldn't
you initiate al automobile to some
extent? when he puts his arm
around you, start up and then sud-
denly pull back and wheeze? Or when
you are going along stop all at once
and purr as though you were run
ming down or u%nraveling? Or when
you are walking along with him, all
at once turn off short, whistle and
pitch him into the ditch, and walk on
him some? Say choo, choo, choo,
choo, each choo a little fainter than
it predecessor? Where the ground is
rough you might steer him into a rut
and surge against him hard enough
to knock him off his balance and then
murmur something about not seeing
him in time to throw on slow speed.
All these things count and will tend
to make him keep his mind on you,
as we'll as the auto. Tell him you
are exhausting, and that your sparker
is crossed OIL your ~carburetter, that
you think your speedometer Isl bent
and that your backing gear seems to
be displaced. A young man wants
some one to talk to him learnedly
about an auto and it may be you can
divert his thoughts from the old lady,
temporarily at least.
Tell him an auto is made for two
or more, and that he needs your ad-
vice in running it if he gets one, and
get him secured before the old lady
comes down with the cash. If she
thinks enough OF him to get him an
auto o she will get it anyway.
If you can get the marriage certi-
ficate before the mother signs the
mortgage on her home to pay for the
auto perhaps you can save the home
and then buy a perambulater next
year.
You were born at least ten years
too soon to get a cinch in a handicap

desperate chances.
II he should become coy. you
might learn to throw a iasso and rope
him on the run. 1t Is said to be great
sport-you might enchant him with
your dexterity. If you can get a hold
on him, hang On. At your age this is
the safest plan. for failure means mis-
cry. Your prospective mother-in-law
has taken q very unfair advantage Of
YOU to begin with. When an old maid
