Sioux Falls, 8. D., Jan. with
the meeting at Pierre on Monday, jan
usry 9Th, of the state proposal commit
tsemen of the various parties and fao-
tions, and the placing in the field OF
congressional and state tickets. and
candidatee for nomination to the office
Of United States senator, the campaign
which will culmipste in the primary
elections to be held thruout South
Dakota in March will be formally
opened.
While the democrats of the state do
not expect that the ticket to be nomt-
mated by them in March will sweep the
state at the November election, they do
expect to profit from many mistakes
which the republicans may make In the
selection of candidates at the March
primary election. They have their at
tention directed especially to the
United States senatorship, and believe
that il the republicans nominate an
unpopular candidate at the March pri-
maries they may be able to place In the
field candidate for the senate who
will defeat the republican candidate at
the election in November.
The holding of the primary elections
in March will compel candidates for
nomination to the various state and
county positions to make their cam.
paigns during the most stormy period
of the winter, but this will not be with
out it's redeeming features. The farmer
vote constitutes great part Of the
vote of South Dakota, as of many
other states, and the campaign, there
fore, will be carried on at time when
the farmers will have leisure to con-
slider the claims of the various oppos-
ing candidates, and the primary in
March will come at time when they
are not as busy IS they will be few
weeks later, when their spring work
opens up.
Because of this It is expected the
farmer vote will play an important part
in the selection of the tickets Of the
various parties and factions.
