WINNING CANDIDATES
BURKE AND DILLON TALK
CRAWFORD SILENT-DEM-
OCRATS PLEASED

Pierre, March 27.-In a statement
to the public, Charles H. Burke
said: The result of last Tues
days primary clearly indicates a
disposition on the part of republi-
cans to get together, and is a declar-
alton against the continuation of
actionalism in the republican party.
/ am naturally gratified, v the re-
suit so far as | am personally con-
erned, and am glad my nomination
is by such a substantial majority as
to make it decisive.
There is no doubt about the sue
cess of the entire republican ticket in
the November election, as all of the
candidates who participated in the
primary election pledged themselves
to support the entire ticket NOM
mated, and | am certain that each
and every one of those defeated will
| do so In addition to the state being
overwhelmingly republican the demo-
Icrats are badly d~isorganiZed, so that
in the election it is only a question
| of the size of the republican major
iity."
Yankton, March 27.-C. H. Dillon,
candidate for election to congress
from this district, won easily in the
primary election Tuesday over Dick
Woods, of Sioux Falls. Mr.. Woods
polled a splendid vote in his home
city and county, namely, 1927, and
IDillon had 773. However, the vote
in the district at large gave Mr.. Dill
Ion a big majority. Mr.. Dillon, who
departed for Washington, where he
lagain takes up his duties in congress,
stated he had just returned from a
two weeks campaign in his district
land was satisfied that his renomina-
ton was assured.
Huron, March 27.-Crawford has
refused to make a statement on the
result. His supporters here are
much surprised over the outcome

FAMILY TRAGEDY
|NELS BERGMAN MURDERS HIS
BROTHER-TS-LAW, MONS
HAUGE, IN MINER
COUNTY

A fatal shooting affair occurred
eight miles north of Howard yester-
day afternoon, in which Nels Berg
ham killed his brotherinlaw, Mons
Hage, according to information re-
ceived in this city last evening by ac-
quaintances of the parties. The
tragedy occurred on the farm of Ole
Bergman who had rented his farm to
his son-in-law, Mons Hage, and the
latter was moving onto the farm.
The cause leading to the tragedy
it is said was a love affair in which
Bergman was infatuated with his
brotherinlaw's sister, Christine Ha-
ge. The trouble has extended over
a period of a year or more, when the
young woman refused longer to re-
ceive the attentions of Bergman,
who blamed the trouble on the girls
brother, Mons Hage. Bergman be-
came morose and frequently threat
ened to kill Hage, and when his
father rented the home farm to Ha-
ge, Bergman made threats that Hage
would never live to occupy the farm,
making good this threat yesterday
afternoon when Hage came to the
farm.
Hage, the murdered man, was
aged about % years, and was mar
ried to Bergham's sister last fall,
his father residing about four miles
from the Bergman farm which he
was about to occupy. The trouble
between the two men had been so
bitter that Bergman had taken a shot
at Hage about a year ago without
result, and the matter was not prose
cuted.
Nels Bergman is aged 20 years
and is quite well known in Madison,
owning a residence in South Egan av-
enue. He is a nephew of Chris
Bergman, residing eight miles north
of Madison, and has worked OF farms
in that neighborhood. He is said to
be a capable man, and has been EN-.
ployed in the postoffice at Howard
and also as clerk in stores at thai
place, but could not stand indoor
work and has of late been employed
at farm work.
The murder created intense excite.
men in the neighborhood where il
occurred and the families are ter
ribly broken up over the tragedy
Bergman submitted to arrest anC
was taken to Howard and locked up

The Reason Why.

Inquiries have been numerous con-
corning the omission OF the office of
County Superintendent" from the
June primaries. Under a law passed
by the last state assembly the Office OF
county superintendent of education
is removed from disposition at the
hands of the voters or political part
les. The county superintendent will
hereafter be named by the presidents
of the boards OF education OF the
school districts of a county at meet
ing to be held in April.

Oats Are Diseased.

Farmers in several eastern Iowa
counties are concerned as to the ex-
act nature of a disease which has af-
fected the oats this year and threat
ems to make a failure of that crop.
The disease was first officially report
ed in Muscatine county and has since
been found to be prevalent in nearby
counties. 1t is reported that fully
one-third of the oats crop Is affected
and the loss in the eastern part of the
state will be severe unless the condi-
lions are improved
