patgn is being carried on. Among the
able assistants Of Chairman Lockhart
are Secretary Charles B. Powers and
A. E Beaumont, the last mentioned be.
ing In charge Of the republican press
bureau, which In this campaign is do.
ing unusually good work In bshalf Of
the republican cause.
The efforts Of Chairman Lochhart
and bis assistants are being directed
toward harmonizing the two republican
factions. with the object Of lining up
all the republicans OF tho state In cup.
port of the republican ticket, from
United States senator down to the last
name on the ticket. The republican
leaders assert that these efforts are
bearing fruit. When ell he's been done
that can be done in this respect the
next concern Of the republican leaders
will be 90 to whether or not It will bs
possible to get out tho full republican
vote at the election In November.
Doubtless becauss of the war IL has
been very difficult in this campaign
thus far, to work up the old time en-.
thusiasm among the voters.
The republican leaders figure that II
they can get the republican vote to the
polls they can elect their entire ticket
BY good plurslities. In Minnshahs
county. which casts the largest vote
OF any county In the state, the repub-
lican campaign is In charge Of A. R.
Fellows, q Sioux Falls business man
who because Of the Importance Of the
coming election, consented to accept
the position of chairman of the repub.
lican county committee.

changed to the detrimsnt Of our mag

isn't It, that womsn's vote would
lower the standard Of our schools and

equalize the taxes levied by men and
paid BY men and women. have always
heard tho argument that politics would
corrupt women. The Times Herald
editor seems to think that women
would corrupt politics like they Gre
