EVIDENCE ACcUMuLATES
THAT BURKE "WlLL SAIL

Mitchell, S. D., Nov. 21.-Evidence
continues to accumulate that Con-
gresham c. H. Burke will revise his
announced intention. of retiring from
politics and will enter the lists as a
candidate for United States senator
against Coe I. Crawford. AS the sit
uation stands the stalwart crowd feels
that it will be a walkover for Craw-
ford and h thought fills them with
untold anguish.
Tom Roberts and Jack Lockhart, di-
rect from a personal conference with
Burke. were the ones who pushed the
Burke idea again to the front at the
recent Mitchell conference and it is
generally believed they had authority
for the suggestion. This is confirmed
by Burke's announcement of restored
health Immediately after his return
to Washington.
While the progressive republicans
have been willing to let Burke drop
out of politics with the general repu-
ration of being a good fellow" his
continuance in the game will result in
a showing that his boosted services"
have been of no specific value to the
state or to the nation, both of which
he has persistently misrepresented in
his official actions.

Flo Springs, S. d., Nov. 21.-Gen-

feel a little resentful at a number of
well meaning persons in the state who
have circulated the impression that he
is in need, merely jumping at this con-
clusion because he has chosen to enter

General Beadle explains that he is

CARDS the institution and surroundings
as pleasant.
General Beadle emphasizes that he
considers it no disgrace for a veteran
TO make use of an institution created
for his comfort and pleasure. After
outlining the various good features of
the home here and of the official
management, he says:
Why should not old soldiers of the state
honor such a provision for their health
