Gotch stated to a representative of
the Daily News
You people of South Dakota"
said Mr.. Gotch. are missing your
greatest opportunity here, the rails
ing of dairy and beef cattle. What
is needed here is to get in bunch
of the farmers from the dairying
districts of Minnesota, Iowa and
Wisconsin, and have them show
you folks here how to make money
off the land that you are reporting
crop failures on. You have had it
too easy in the past. and have been
too successful with your wheat
crops to pay much attention to the
dairy end OF your farming and it is
just that end that | intend to follow
up.'

father is employed at the Mil
waukee coal shutes in this city,
was awarded the second prize in
the boys corn contest at Aberdeen
Saturday. Leonhardt received the
following score for his exhibit:
Yield 40 l-2 bushels per acre;

SOL. 20; score 1856. The corn

LeOnhardt had the best story
on how his seed was raised,
but his yield and sample did not
show up as well AS did the sample
of Wallace Mitchell of Hecla, who
received the first prize.
As u reward for winning first
pr,ze in the corn contest Wallace
Mitchell will receive free trip to
Washington as the guest of the
Better Farming association, and
will visit President Wilson and
Secretary of Agriculture, Houston,
in company with the other winners
from other states.
Over 600 boys from II cOun-
ties OF the state took part in the
contest aud the results of their
labors in properly cultivating the
soil proves that South Dakota soil
is very feitil, and will produce
good crops if it is properly taken

The department announces the
numerous difficulties met in at
tempting to secure evidence in
cases which are so evidently of in

"LoT OF FIGHT YET" is sULZER's
COMMENT.

Albany.-Governor SulZer appeared
to be entirely unaffected by the news
of his defeat when seen at the Exec
utive Mansion.
'T have a lot Of fight left yet" the
Governor said, "and they'll find the
fight has just begun"
Mr.. Sulzer said that his counsel had
prohibited him from talking, and for
that reason he declined to go into de-
tails as to just what he meant by his
flight" talk, or just how he meant to
carry on the fight.
The Governor referred the repre-
sentative OF the newspapers to two
OF the members of his kitchen cab
met" who had been at dinner with
the family.
Samuel Bell Thomas. Nathan Chad
sey, Ex-Governor Spriggs, of Montana,
and Colonel Alexander S. Bacon, the
four men who have been perhaps
closer than any one else to Sulzer.
were guests OF the Governor and Mrs.
Sulzer at dinner party, and, accord
ing to their version of it, the news
OF his conviction under impeachment

depressing effect on the Governors
good spirits.
Governor Sulzer ate a good, hearty
dinner; in fact, an exceptionally
hearty dinner" said Mr.. Thomas, land
he seemed to enjoy himself through
out"
Pressed for details OF just what the
Governor meant by his talk Of carry
ing on the fight, Mr.. Thomas ex-
planned that there were several
means by which the end was TO be
accomplished. Chief among these
tentative plans, Mr.. Thomas inti-
mated, the Governor was considering
the Chautaqua platform. He said that
Mr.. Sulzer had already received two
magazine offers for his story of the
political conspiracy by which he
claims he was ousted, together with
his prospective inside" story of Tam
many Hall.
"Of course, the Governor could go
on the Chautauqua platform to-mor-
row If he wanted to-" said Mr.. Thorn
as, but he is thinking the matter
over"
Goernor Sulzer has had at least
one offer for platform work-an offer
which. If accepted. would take him
out through several Middle Western
States. The idea appealed to him.

that in that way he could have the
best opportunity to tell his entire
story directly to the people. In addi-
tion to that, the platform work would

and he felt that between the two
methods he would be able to reach
every one with his story, both in New

with the rustling of paper and a pre-

decision as to article was the anti
climax, for just how each man was

But the folk in the galleries were
interested in knowing the reasons for
each mans stand.
Palmer Votes Guilty.
One of the interesting developments
was that Senator Abraham j. Pal
mer voted against the Governor on
article T. He said he wished that
contradiction of the Peck testimony
had been admitted. and he hoped to
stand with Judge Cullen for acquittal,
but since the Peck testimony had not
been refuted Senator Palmer said:-"I
regretfully vote guilty"
