LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY.
Candidates for Office Winding UP Primary
Campaign.

With less than week intervening
until the primary election in South
Dakota on June 4:b, all the candidates
for office in the state are actively at
work putting the finishing touches to
their cam mpaigns. in the belief that by
the eve of the primaries they will have
everything fixed in such shape that
victory will perch upon their banners
In no prior campaign in South Dakota
have political matters been more mud
died than in this campaign, and all
"signs" which in other campaigns we're
utilized to get line on the probable
outcome are useless in this campaign,
and the guess of one man as to the out.
come of the primary election in June
is as good as that of another.
During the past week the presiden-
tial fight has not attracted as much at.
tention in South Dakota as has the
senatorial and governorship contests,
although the voters of the state are
giving keen attention to the Taft Roose-
velt 6ght in other states. The Roosevelt
supporters in South Dakota believe
that their favorite will be the nominee
of the Chicago convention aud that
with hard fight all along the line
South Dakota will send ten Roosevelt
delegates to the convention. The sup
porSers of President Taft do not con-
cede the claims of the Roosevelt sup
porters with reference to South Dakota,
and insist that with straight Roose
velt and straight LaFollette list of
delegates in the field to divide the anti
Taft vote their chance to carry the
state is as good as that of their oppo
nents.

]. c. WnALEY'S MESSAGE

A Last Word To The Voters Before
The Election
AS final word to the voters regard
ing my candidacy for the office of
Register OF Deeds of Fall River county,
wish to offer for their consideration
al few facts refuting some Of the re-
ports which have been circulated derog.
story to my eligibility as a candidate
for re election to this Office. My oppo.
nents have made the statement, so
am informed, that on account of my
appointment to the office for period
during my fathers unexpired term,
and later being elected to the office, l
am ineligible to hold another term if
elected. 1t seems that this appoint
ment is construed by them to constitute
term, and they hold that l cannot
legally qualify to serve another full
term and accordingly all official acts
at the expiration Of the time limit Of
four years, when such time will have
expired, will be illegal and will have
no legal standing. In refuting these
arguments, which have been quoted
above, believe it is my duty at this
time to explain to the voters the exact
situation, and hope by so doing to put
myself in the proper light whether l
can secure the nomination June 4th or
not.
Regarding my appointment to this
office. will say that II. Il. Whaley, my
father, was elected in the fail of 1908
and took the office in January, 1909,
serving only part of the term when his
death caused a vacancy. My sister
being his deputy and the commissioners
recognizing her ability to discharge
the duties of the Office and recognize
ing the fact that my father had worked
hard for the Office. decided to appoint
me as Register of Deeds with the under.
standing that she I'LL out the un.expired
term as my deputy, and with the further
understanding that l would have moth.
ing to do with the duties of the office
during this time, and if she was in need
of advice regarding tina duties of the
Office, they would render same. This
action was taken in view of the fact
that lady cannot hold such Office by
election, and conseuting to this ar
rangement, my name was used as
