new COALITION IN
STATE POLITICS IS
THOUGHT UNDERWAY
This Is Guessed to be
Object Of Conference
Held Here.

BURKE ON TICKET
If Plan is Carried Out, Would
Include Also Richards and
Egan in Combine.
BURKE ON TICKET

Republican leaders who attended
the conference held in Mitchell yes.
terday and Thursday, led by Tom
Roberts of Pierre and Il. G. Simmons
of Aberdeen, left for their homes
without making any statement ~ to
the action taken by them while here,
except to announce that they would
continue efforts to secure a.full reg
istrati0n of y0ters for the primary
election campaign. Is.
III was surmised by wcll-informed
observers, however, that the meeting
was the most Important that has TAX
Ell place this year and that the poll
tical atmosphere must have been
cleared. because OF the satisfaction
manifested by those who attended
when they departed for their homes.
Combination Necessary.
II has been patent all the time
that the dividing OF the opposition to
Senator Crawford has served to In
the only hope OF making Roadway
against him was to unite all oppo-
sition. In this case, as Is well known,
this would mean bringing together
the three other elements In the state.
namely, the old, stalwart following,
the Richards following and the Egan
following. 1t would not surprise the
best informed politicians II this would
prove to be ~asresnlt OF the confer
enca held in Mitchell.
In that event, no doubt, Congress-
man Burke would be rendered the
nominstiOn for United States Senat-
or by thesminority proposal commit

tenn he could be drafted by that
method and probably would yield to
thaedemands OF his friends. tts acH.

suggested above is to be BROUGHT

from the Black Hills that Congress-

among Burke adherents. 1t Is be-
lieyed that, IL Burke accedes to the
program, Howard could be induced

CLAIMS TITLE
BASES RIGHT TO STATE HIGH
SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP ON
DEFEAT OF ABERDEEN
YESTERDAY.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Superior know
ledge of the game a slight advantage
In weight and %speedier team gave the
Sioux Falls high school a victory over
the Aberdeen high school team at the
500 park oval yesterday afternoon 25
to Z. The result of the game virtually
establishes he Sioux Falls team as
the high school champion OF the state
for Aberdeen has eliminated the only
two other c%ontenders. WATERFOWL and
Huron. sg sfrs i"4N 9iHE
A better exhibition of football has
not been e on the local diamond
this seas6ns Although the score would
led to- the Gonelntl6n that Aberdeen
was swamped the case was not SO. 1t
was evident after a few minutes of
play that the game was not to be won
by straight football and the touch
downs OF the game showed this. A
tumble by Aberdeen, two forward
passes and In II instance line buck
Ing, gave Sioux Falls it's touchdowns
while Aberdeen's sole touchdown
was the result of n forward pass.
Line bucking failed in making scores
except in one case. Both teams PROV
ed capable at pinches.
Aberdeen's team is not the bunch
of gamey players as was expected.
After the first touchdown the visit
ors appeared to lose heart and after
that did not play with the same as
surance and GOODNESS that marked
their opening. The Aberdeen team is
somewhat of a one-man team. Bosley.
the full back and captain, was easily
the star of the day. His game is sim
liar to that, played by Sioux Falls
right half back, Hawley. full of flight
and vigor but Ia emphasized more be
cause. of a weaker support by his
mates. Bosley is undoubtedly the best
full back and all around high school
football player in the state and
sho,sid be given that position in the
all state lineup. When he was taken
out of the game for injuries Aberdeen
was lost, as a ship without a rudder.
In the last period of the game when
he summoned enough strength to
come back he fought like a tiger
and to him is due the credit of the
lone touch down accredited to his
team.
Sioux Falls never appeared better.
Coach Davis has worked his team into
an offensive Machine that works
with the speed Of a cat, the force of a
calapault and an unerring percision.
Every ounce of energy is turned to-
ward the common end of gaining
ground and every man adapts his
style to the play. Parliman saw Alb
erdeen's weakness at left guard and
pounded 1t numerically for substan.
tial gains. At times Aberdeen SEEM
ed to be carried from his feet as Sioux
Falls planted play after play on Its
weak points.

1t is understood will shortly be re-

ference OF Milwaukee officials in

For some time past 1t has been an
open secret that the Milwaukee line
across the state would have to be ex-
tended in order to get, the business
that would satisfy the company. There
have been rumors of it's proposed eN-
tension west from Rapid City into

Miles City, Mont, with it's coast line.

through the Belle Fourche valley
country, tapping the rapidly growing
sheep and cattle shipping section
there, to join its northern line or to
a point where a junction could be
made by an extension west of it's
line to Faith in northern Meade
county.
1t is declared that the large amount
of available timber which the gov
eminent is selling in the Black Hills
and which will be cut into ties, has
caught the attention of the Milwau-
kee officials, and we'll informed rail-
road men profess to believe that all
signs point to the Milwaukee's push
ing westward in some direction from
Rapid City, within the coming year
which would mean that the Black
Hills would finnnly realize Its ambi-
ton of a transcontinental line.
