WILL THERE BE ONLY TIiREE7

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: Dean
Thomas Sterling, Of Vermillion. has
formally announced himself as q
candidate for the United States sen.
ate from South Dakota. This will
greatly disturb Senator Gamble. who
lives in the adjoining county, and
who must share with Dean Sterling
much Of the republican support In
that section Of the state. Congress-
man Charles H. Burke, who is now in
the state, has not yet declared him
self as candidate, but in an inter-
view with the Argus-Leader admitted
that he was giving the matter serious
consideration, and would at the
proper time" make announcement of
his intentions. 1t looks very much
like three. cornered senatorial fight,
with Burke, Sterling and Gamble as
entrants, with possibilities of one or
two more.

The way the corn is wearing under

Mr.. Egan stated that he was in fa-3
svor Of a graduated income tax on all
incomes Of $1,000 and over In order
that taxation might be better equal
lzed as between the small property
owner and the large capitalist. He.
dwelt at some length upon the neces-
sity Of an efficient state board Of
health with ample funds and sum
3cient apparatus to protect the health
and lives of our people and said that
he was in favor of enlarging their
powers and efficiency.
The speaker further advocated the
building up Of our state educational
institutions 50 that our senator's and
representatives would not be ashamed
to graduate their children from home
colleges and universities. He propos-
o state board Of control for all our
state institutions such as is found in
several of the states as being more
efficient and economical than our
present system, However, IL this
could not be secured he would reduce

He referred especially to the state
engineer whom he said had drawn
$4,000 from the state treasury but no
one could tell anything he had ever
done to earn 1t. Under the same class
he mentioned the state telephone in.

who stood for something and would
hight for an idea as does La Toilette.
OF Wisconsin, that the state would re.
celVe some advertising worth while.
Among the other recommendation
he would make would be an amend
nent to the primary law allowing
the recommending OF pcstmasters by
ballot, the repeal of the law provid.
lng for the publishing of insurance
statements and the election OF all Of
ftcials by the people as far as prac-
tlcable, Mr. Egan said he. had no es-
pecial fight against the saloon altho
he did not patronize them himself.
Said he was for the square deal for
each and every one and that the
square deal would require that the

spend in the saloon the money that

handed over a dollar bill, the mer-
chant giving him ten cents in change,
Now, said the hardware man, I
want 25 cents more to pay the ex.
press charges which the purchaser
gave him. How much did your ak
cost you ?" One dollar and fifteen
cents, the man answered. a'very
