notices your shabby coat but praises
your studious and industrious habits:
the man who sees the faults, but

DEMOCRATS AND
THE PIE COUNTER
Factions in the State VIII 90 to
President

Pierre. Feb. 4.--The Democratic
factions are not making any appar-
ent effort TO get together in this
state, unless it is for a mix.up. The
faction which met at this city last
December under the provisions Of
the Richards primary law. and sell
ected r. w. Clark of Huron as
chairman of their committee. is out
on the war path after the Johnson
Coffey faction. and they have called
a meeting at this city for March 4
for the purpose of formulating
plans and to select a delegation of
representative Democrats of South
Dakota to go to Washington to pre-
sent our cause to President Wilson
in person." They call attention to
the fact that Attorney General John
son has decided that the postmaster
primary is in effect and full force
after March 4. and advise those who
care to learn how to institute post
master primaries in their communit-
les that they will be fully advised if
they will attend the meeting of the
committee on March d.
Their proposition is that James
Coffey is not now the chairman Of
the Democratic state committee, but
that K. w. Clark is such chairman,
aud that he is the real acting head
of the party. That under the post
master primary the selection through
the primary should govern. and not
the endorsement of Coffey. who they
allege is claiming to be chairman
without any warrant TO act. They
express a belief that if the matter
is properly put up to the authorities
in Washington. there will be no dis
tribution of patronage under the old
order of things, bu, that the new
alone shall rule, and the main object
of their meeting on the fourth of
next month is their organization to
60 to Washington and make the pre-
sentation in person. All of which
means that there is to be more or
less of a merry row in the Demo
cratic ranks. with some of the fight
ing old guard lined up against f. S.
Johnson and James Coffev, who are
busily circulating their petition TO
innate a new primary law. which has
as one of its distinguishing features
a provision for organization of new
parties.
