RICHARDS WILL RUN
AS an Independent Candidate
For Governor This
Fall,

Huron, March 30.-Following two
failures to land among the place
winners in the primary-his own Gre
ation-Dick Richards has practically
decided to be an independent can
didate for governor at the election
this fall. AS the result of his other
experiences this spring it is not
thought possible that he has any ex-
pectations of success, but it is entire
Iy probable that his candidacy may
help to complicate the situation.
The intention of Mr.. Richards to
continue in the campaign is stated
to be because of the declaration in
the majority republican platform for
the repeal of the Richards primary
law.
democrats comes before the voters at
the election this fall, and the adop-
ton of this measure by the voters
would automatically repeal the Rich
ards law. The pending primary law
is very similar to the primary law
formerly in use, except that prelimin-
airy party declarations are eliminat-
ed, a new feature, and, in the opin-
ion Of many people, n of its strong
est points.
All of the party primary tickets are
printed on a single ballot and the
voter may take his choice after retir-
ing to the booth. Voting partly on
one ticket and partly on another
would invalidate the ballot, so the
voter is thus compelled to adhere to
a single ticket.

him and his bondsmen $40, 600, the
value of the package which disap-

June 10, 1911, and which has never
since been found. The government
has demurred to the answer brought
by counsel for Mr.. Rogde and the
arguments tomorrow will be on the
demurrer.
The action is brought under the
provisions of the postal laws which
holds the postmaster responsible for
all registered mail received by his Of
fee. The general impression here is
that the insurance company which
had to stand the loss is behind the
prosecution of the postmaster. I'm
