committee, is required to dispense the
official party endorsement to appli-
cants for federal appointments, except
postofices, for the next two years,
under the new party law, says a Huron
dispatch.
Each member of the state central
committee is elected by and does rep
resent all the party voters within his
county and has the right to cast that
total party vote at the party state or
ganization meeting.
This matter of voting is called unit
representation, j. e. meaning that each
unit OF the electorate, or each party
electors vote within the county is
cast by the state committeeman.
Under the new system of unit rep
resentation," which is correct and the
only accurate basis of representation,
the Brown county democratic state
central comm nan will have the
right to cast t votes at the party
state organization meeting at Pierre
on December 10 on party recommends
tons to %appontive federal offices, ex-
cept postofices.
The influence of the larger counties
in this state will naturally be strongly
felt and it will behoove all applicants
for the federal party endorsement to
court the state committeeman from
the larger counties.
The theory Of the official party en-
dorsement is that the regular party
organization shall make the party
recommendations for appointive pc,
sitions to the constitutional appoint
i've power instead Of a few machine
bosses usurping the regular party or
g%anizatiOn function as a Kitchen cabi
net" or inner spoils organization.

Only an inch of space stood between
w. II. Bagley, a prominent farmer
near Washington, and instant death
when he was kicked by n of his
horses. He yet is in a serious con
dition. 1t was many hours before he
regained consciousness. His skull was
found to have been fractured, but it
was not lndented, so it was not nee
essary to perform an operation. Had
the horses hoof struck an inch fur
Their to one side Bagley would have
been killed instantly.
Mayor S. V. Christ of Miller, has
experienced the third accident within
a few weeks. He first fell and injured
his back; then in cranking his auto
mobile he broke his right arm, and
later, in cranking the machine with
his left hand, he severely injured his
side.
1t appears from records filed that
there is to be at least one legislative
contest at the coming session, Frank
Morgan, democrat, from Faith, con,
testing the seat Of George Budweiser,

Budweiscr secured the seat by eleven

ton act which has been fought through
from the circuit court of the state TO
the United States supreme court and
has been held constitutional and valid
at every point and on every hearing
saws a Pierre dispatch. The act pro-
yides that any person or corporation
selling a commodity in one place in the
state cheaper than in another, the
difference Of freight being taken into
consideration, with intent to destroy
competition would be deemed guilty
of unjust discrimination and subject
TO a fine of not less than 5000 or more
than $1,000.
The Central Lumber Company was
informed against. in Mcpherson coun-
" by direction of former Attorney
General S. w. Clark, found guilty of
attempting to destroy competition of
the Mitchell Lumber Company of Le-
ola, S. D., and fined by Judge Boucher.
Al All stages OI the lIldl, CO|uSlIlullOu
al questions were raised by the defend
ant, ~contending that the act vas in
violation of the state and federal con-
s%titutions, and was not an exercise of
/ police power. Practically the same
act has been enacted in seven states,
and has been upheld by the state SUI
preme courts of South Dakota, Ne
braska, Minnesota and Kansas, but it
remained for the law department of
this state to carry it to an issue in the
United States supreme court. 1t is
alleged that a number of lumber com
panies operating in the west We're
combined in the test case, and the
prominence of the ATTORNEYS engaged
in the case would sustain this conten-
ton.
The outcome Of the case was watch
ed with interest in Washington, as the
same legislation has been under con
sideration by a number of members Of
congress, and now that the supreme
court has sustained the law, it viii
more than likely be taken up from
national standpoint.
