MINORITY FACTION
PREPARES TO ENTER
new PRIMARY GAME
Reactionaries to Use Egan Vote
in Last Campaign as One
Rallying Point.

Sioux Falls, S. d.. Nov. lin spite
nf all the preliminary talk about indie
pendent candidates. and independent
voting, the reactionary forces in South
Dakota are not going to overlook the
possible advantage of taking possession
best that is offered to them under the
terms of the new primary law. AS
George w. Egan ran second In the
gubernatorial race last fall, his fol-
lowers fall heir to the minority rights.
While most of the old-time stalwarts
do not take kindly to the notion Of be-
ing listed as Egan followers, they are
disposed to take the medicine as a
temporary eXpedient.
Preparations now are being rushed
for organizing the minority faction IN
the various counties on December 2.
when the mass meetings will be held
throughout the state for the purpose OF
selecting the members of the proposal
committees, which committees later
have the authority of suggesting the
approved candidates for the several Of
fees.
AT these mass meetings provision is
made for separate sessions OF the ma
jority and minority factions, and each
contingent will nave the right to or
ganize proposal committees for pro-
noting township, county, state and dis
trict officials.
The supporters of Governor Byrne
have the right to the majority faction
designation, unless the privilege is
technically overcome by tactics or force
Of numbers, which is a possible con-
tingency. In some counties the calls
have been issued for the December
mass meeting, while in others the calls
have not been issued, because of no
persons being definitely authorized for
h a purpose. The calls must be pub
lished twice in a county newspaper
n signed by three electors. Next
week is the last possible a for the
calls to be published and conform to
the requirement of the law.

RUNNING DOWN OWNER

Bridgewater, S. D., Nov. 15.-Fred
H%enthorne, a farmer residing eight
miles east of here, was run over by
his own automobile and may die from
the injuries received. He had just
stepped in front of the machine, the
engine Of which had been left running
while h car was standing idle, when
the a gave a sudden and unexplained
start. Henthorne was knocked to the
ground and his body was rolled under
the machine for several rods, through
a woven wire fence and into a plowed
field, where the soft earth and the OBJ
struction of the body stopped the car.
Henthorne is quite f1eshy and was
rolled up like a ball under the running
board of the machine, which had to
be lifted bodily before he could be
released. The attending physician ex-
presses fear Of internal injuries, which
may prove fatal.

states that the United States Is under
every obligation to protect the lives
anG property of all Europeans in Mex
leo, as long as it will not permit the
nations of Europe to use force In Cen
trail and South American republics to
safeguard their subjects and their
property. With the introduction OF
the new logic in connection with the
Monroe doctrine, he holds that this
government assumed added and heavy
obligations. Should intervention by the
United States be made, the butcher
bill" as he calls it, would be dreadful
to contemplate. the warning bands of
revolutionists undoubtedly uniting
against a ommon foe and laying
waste much of the border land.
It is Mr.. Cages opinion that the
United States will be fortunate If the
Mexican situation can be brought to
normal without having to uphold the
Monroe doctrine as "a positive and act
i've principle instead Of negatively
or passively as in the past"
