require more than q European war to
distract the attention Of the average
South Dakotan from political affairs,
and for this reason. and because an i'm
portant political campaign 10 about to
open in the state much interest is at
present being taken in political matters
The struggle In South Dakota this
fall will be between the republicans,
the democrats and the progressives,
and the msnagers Of each of the parties
now are putting the dnishing touches
on arrangements for the campaign.
which will open In the near future and
bs prosecuted by all three parties with
viaor up to the time Of the general cleo.
tion in November.
This will be the fret campaign ever
waged In the state by the progressives
as party, and the leaders Of the new
party are hoping they will make .
showing at the polls in November that
will make them an important factor In
the state two years hence. Their efforts
10 the present campaign will be center.
cd In the governorship, and they will
wage hard fight for r O. Richards, Of
Huron. the Independent candidate for
election TO the governorship, whom the
new party recently Endorsed in the sb-
sence Of o straight out progressive can.
didate.
The democrats will center all their
efforts on the candidacy Of e. 8. John.
son. Of Ysnkton, nominee OF the demo
orats for the United States senate. Mr.,
johnson was the democratic candidate
for Governor two years ago and made
such good showing that his friends
believe that In the campaign now about
to open he will be an important factor
In the election Of United States sens.
tor.
The republicans. on the other hand
declare the election of Congressman
Charles q. Burke, their nominee for
the United States senate, is certaip, but
these claims are not conceded By the
friends Of opposition candidates. The
great fights OF the campaign will In.
volve the offices of United States sena
tor and governor.
One Of the important matters &c
come before the voters Of South Dakota
ct the general election in Novembe,
will be . proposed amendment to The
state constitution granting women tht
right Of suffrage.
The suffrage forces have been cam
paigning for almost year, and it 1,

Il 10 further said that considerabl,
opposition to suffrage has developed
among the women Of the state. I'll
pointed out that Mrs. Ethel O. Jacob

Relic of Bronze Ace.

A rare find has been made by Dom
aid Macdonald, farm servant, at Bal
loch of Culloden, near Iverness, Scot
land While hoeing on the part OF the
farm which had at one time been a
loch, he turned up in the ground fine
specimen of bronze AK or palstrave.
The weapon, it is said, is $500 years
DID. The total length, including the
shaft for binding it to the staff is 5A
inches The shaft is grooved on both
sides, and about an inch wide. The
Ak head measures three inches across,
and must have been an effective
weapon. Experts have traced the be-
ginning of the bronze age in northern
Europe to about 1900 B. c., and have
brought it down to about 600 B. G.
The weapon found at Balloch may be
at least 5000 years old According to
various authorities the bronze age ex-
isted in pre-Celtic times.
