The Governor may resolve that. in
asmuch as he has been thus chal
Ienged. he will not try for the short
term, anyway, as IT was originally
thought he might. but will undertake
the big Job OF going after Senator
Smith instead!
Here the plot thickens. That would
mean a battle royal, and the time for
small boys % stand from under.
Both men are superb fighters. both
are perfectly at home on the stump
and both have aggressive and mighty
followings
That too. would mean a foeman
worthy Of Tom Hardwick's steel. from
the hosts Of the Slatonites, 1t might
mean Little Joe" himself
Brr-r-r-r-rl
Maybe. on the other hand, former
Governor Brown would prefer to un-
dertake the Governorship race again
in which regard he has heretofore
been more or less successful.
Then to oppose Hardwick. there
would be--who? (Tom Watson, please
write.)
II Il should come to straIshtaway
fractional fight, with Senator Smith
and the Smith following on the one
hand and Governor Slaton and the
Slaton- Brown following on the other,
1t seems more than likely that the
contest may assume a national as
pect, for Il probably would be made
national administration matter.
In other words, both Senator Smith
and Congressman Hardwick are very
close 10 the President. and he would.
presumably, sympathize with that
side in the Georgia contest-partlcu-
larly as Governor Slaton and Gov
ernor Brown sided with the Oscar
Underwood lineup in the last Presi-
dental primary.
The Underwood side won decisive
Nv. however in that contest, and so
there would be another pretty prob

CLOSING Week
SOUTH DAKOTA ELECTION WILL
OCCUR ONE WEEK FROM
TODAY.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 27.-With only a
week intervening until the general
election, the leaders and field mar
shals of the various parties in South
Dakota are doing their utmost to
arouse the voters OF the state to the
Importance of the election. There
have been fears that because of the
apparent lack of interest on the part
of the great body of voters the vote
cast at the election would fall far
short of a normal vote. But while
the voters are not becoming excited
over the election, it is believed never
theless that they will quite generally
turn out and that the aggregate vote
cast in South Dakota at the election
on Nov. 3 will be nearly if not quite
normal.
For the first time the voters of the
state will elect a United States SEN
ator direct. They also will elect a
legislature, three congressman
judges in the various judicial circuits,
a full state ticket and county officers.
In addition they will have submitted
to them under the referendum
amendment to the state constitution
various proposed laws and several
proposed amendments to the state
constitution.
The republicans, under the direc-
ton of j. l.. Lockhart of Pierre,

mittee, r waging an aggressive

who keep in close touch with the af-
fairs of the party the republicans APP

of the stalwa,t and progressive re-
publican factions can all be lined up
solidly in support of the ticket. The
republicans profess to be confident
that members of the two factions will
generally support the state ticket.
The workers in behalf of the re-
publican cause are talking harmony
at all times, and ii is believed this
has had an effect or the members of
the two factions and will result in
solid support being given the ticket.
The opposition is making its hard
est fight on Congressman Charles Fl.
Burke, the republican nominee for
election to the United States senate.
There are two other candidates for
the senate in the field, in the persons
of e. s. Johnson of Yankton, the
democratic nominee, and Henry l..
Loucks of WATERFOWL, Independent
candidate.
Republicans quite generally are
confident that Mr.. Burke will be
elected. pointing to his great strength
with the republican voters of the
state in past elections in support of
this belief. 1t is known that the
democrats figure their candidate for
the senate will capture the votes of

PRISONERS WORK
Sheriff Of Day County Employs Then
on Country Roads.

Webster. Oct. 27.-Sheriff Garrick
of Day county recently adopted the
plan Of compelling county prisoners
to work upon the public highways of
the county, and the plan is proving
quite successful, both in giving the
prisoners necessary exercise and in
securing a return for the taxpayers
from the cost of feeding and caring
for the prisoners. The sheriff was
not sure he had authority to make
prisoners work in this fashion, but
States Attorney Waddel looked up
the state law and informed the
sheriff that he had full authority to
put the prisoners to work and keep
them busy during their terms OF i'm
prisonment. The first prisoners put
to work were three men who pleaded
guilty to bootlegging. The first work
of the three men was to dig a trench
three feet deep and 200 feet long.
from the county courthouse to the
street for the new telephone and cleo
trio light conduits. By having the
prisoners do this work the taxpayers
of the county were saved a consider
able sum. Other work Of improve
ment now has been found for them.
The latest prisoner to join the hard
labor gang is Robert Morris. who
pleaded guilty to the charge of lar
ceny and was sentenced to thirty
days imprisonment at hard labor.

Big Bull Cause Of Wreck

The west bound A. B. & A.
passenger train was derailed
about two miles west of Douglas
Thursday morning. The engine,
in charge of Engineer Ed T
Brown, jumped the track and
turned turtle down an embank-
ment. The baggage and mail
cars were derailed and the pas
senger received quite a shake-up.
Mr.. Ed Brown escaped with a
slight injury and shake up but
his fireman was severely scalded
by escaping steam. Mr.. Brown
stuck to his post and it is a
miracle that he escaped with so
slight injuries. The train was
delayed about three hours, a
special being sent from here to
transfer the mail and passengers.
DR.. R. M. Ware met the train at
the station and conveyed Mr..
Brown to his home at the Mash
burn residence on S. Main St.
