THE REGULARS
Said to Be Ready to Line Up
Against Dean Sterling

Huron, Nov. 19.-Prominent men OF
the state who for some days have been
sounding the republican members-e elect
OF the state legislature on the matter
of the United States senatorship, state
to your correspondent that it is by no
means assured that Thomas Sterling,
who in the June primaries was the
successful republican nominee, will be
elected the successor of Senator Gam
BILE. Since the June primary election
Mr.. Sterling declared himself for
Roosevelt for president and during the
campaign is said to have urged the
voters to support Roosevelt for presi-
dent. and this course alienated the
support of the Taft and LaFollette
republicans, who have since main
tanned that the instant Mr.. Sterling
declared himself for a candidate other
than the candidate Of the republican
party he ceased to be a republican and
released all republican members of the
legislature from supporting him for the
United States s~enatorship.
The prominent men who have been
sounding the republican members-elect
OF the Legislature. which will
in January. say that every member
who was opposed to the election of
Roosevelt to the presidency will line
up against Mr.. Sterling, and that
there will be a sufficient number of

cratic members of the senate and
house. to prevent the election Of mir.
Sterling.
Several persons are mentioned in
connection with the United States
senatorship as opponents of Mr..
Sterling. Friends OF both Congress-
men Martin and burke would like to
see 'hem elevated to the senate, and it
will be generally acknowledged that
either OF them would be- a strong can
didate against Mr.. Sterling. Senator
Gamble also is mentioned for election

P. D. DETECTIVES
Seeking Clue to Missing $4,000
Registered Package at
Aberdeen

Aberdeen, Nov. 19.-The postofice
authorities are investigating the mys-
terious disappearance from the Aber-
deem postofice of a registered package
containing %, 600, and it is probable
arrests will follow soon. On Thursday
evening. George Mead, transfer clerk
in the ~postofice, received from Ralph
Dennison, register clerk at this post
Office, a registered package containing
SO, 600 In currency, consigned to a
bank at Morristown, S. D. Mead gave
Dennison his receipt for the package,
and taok it with his other registered
mail to the room adjacent 20 the bag
gage room at the Milwaukee station,
where the strong box with the regis
tered mail is kept locked. He deposit
ed the package there, locking the
strong box and the outer door, and left
to attend to his other work.
Later that evening, he returned to
the room and found William Clemens,
| railway mail clerk on the route be-
tw g Aberdeen and Miles City, Mont,
in the room and with the strong box
unlocked, checking up his registered
mail, as had been the custom. Gle
mons informed Mead that there was a
package short, and went over his run,
marking as short the package ad-
dressed to the Morristown bank.
The room at the Milwaukee station
in which the registered mail strong box
is kept, is supposed to be kept locked
at all times there being only two per-
sons having keys to it. one of whom
is Mead, but it is claimed that others
have been in the habit of gaining
admission to the room by opening a
window and springing the catch to the
door. The strong box was unlocked
with al ordinary mail pouch key. The
postal authorities are puzzled 10 ac-
count for the disappearance of the
package from the time it WAS placed in
the strong box by Mead and the time
the box was opened by Clemens.

HURT At FOOTBALL
Aberdeen Player Badly Injured
in Game at Sioux
Falls

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: A report
was current ON the streets that a
young fellow named Bosley. who
I, played fall back for Aberdeen il The
] game last Friday with Sioux Falls,
and who was badly hurt, had since
died. The report does not receive
any credence. as it is a surety that
the correspondent of the Argus-Ie ader
at Aberdeen would not have allowed
such an item az tnat would be to es.
cape mis- notice, and that be would
have photographed it to this paper long
before the time this item is written.
There is little doubt that the young
man was badly hurt. as the Aberdeen
News says of the occurrences: "It il
thought that Bosley, full back for
Aberdeen, received his three broken
ribs by having Manary fall upon him.
Bosley had to be removed from the
game in the second quarters A physi-
clan said that two or three ribs were
broken. His injury occurred in the first
quarter. but he kept on playing until
the pain grew SO great he had TO leave"
La addition to the above, the Sioux
Falls boys say that it was reported be.
fore they left the city that one CT the
broken ribs Of the unfortunate young
fellow pierced one of his lungs. If
.tais is true, it places Mr.. Bosley in "a
class by himself, as a man who could
continue the play under such condi-
tons.

among them is the securing of a one

date, he having been: endorsed, by
thirty-two house members, but he
will have strenuous opposition from
former Speaker HI. H. Dunn of AL
bert Lea, r. C.. Dunn of Princeton
and P. H. McGarry of Walker.
The next house will be made up OF
SO Republicans, 20 Democrats and
one Socialist, one Prohibitionist and
one Independent. Of this number,
the Progressive Republicans, respon-
sible for Rines' candidacy, claim to
have fifty members signed up and
they figure on eight others as certain
to vote for him. AS sixty-one votes
constitutes majority, they feel GER
tain that they will secure the neces-
sary number.
The other faction, however, is not
willing to admit all this. They de-
clare that all it does is to place
Rines squarely in the field as a can
didate.
The two Dunns are both in favor
of the election going to the floor OF
the house. This would undoubtedly
please the Democrats. It is now pre-
dicted that the Bourbon vote will
line up solidly against Rines.
Those who hope for quiet session
will undoubtedly be disappointed. It
will be stormy one and many pre-
dict that it will pass, into history as
being the most turbulent in Mime
sofa annals. .

was rout, a disaster, a cataclysm.
It takes memory of the oldest inhab-
liant to recall when the Crimson S
score ran into double figures while
keeping the Blue blanketed. That
was done today. And if 20 for Har-
ward to for Yale means much to
Cambridge, it is equally certain that
it means more to New Haven.
= Already it is known that the en-
tire system of play and the teaching
thereof is to be radically revised
down here where Old Man Football
himself was popularity supposed to
MAKE his habitat. And when the re-
vision is complete it will be found
that Yale has taken a leaf from Har-
wards book and has reconstructed
her organization on the model of her
once despised rival. A Permanent
coach will be installed and the time
honored Yale tradition of graduate
coaching, changing each year, is to
be abandoned.
