there was yet to do in this and other
matters.
Colonel T. G. Orr. superintendent of
the State Home expressed his desires
to co operate in every way possible with
the Commercial Club. He explained
what had been done and his facts and
figures were illuminating to say the
least. Over $4,000 had been spent dur.

over the reports of his predecessor. The
Colonel also discussed the municipal

TROUBLE IN DEMOCRATIC CAMP,
Notwithstanding that the minority
democratic faction, which Is composed
OF those South Dakota democrats who
are opponents Of what is known as the
Johnson Taubman.C Coffee faetion-the
dominant faction in state affairs-at
their meeting at Pierre did not place in
the field ticket In opposition to the
regular democratic ticket, stating that
this course was followed in the interest
OF harmony between the factions, some
OF the leaders Of the minority faction
now have brought into the field oandi-
dates for state chairman and South
Dakota member of the democratic
national committee.
r. r Dana, Of Armour, Is the candi.
date they have brought out for chair.
man of the democratic state committee,
while H. e. Hitchcock, of Mitchell, will
be their candidate for nomination and
election as the South Dakota member
OF the democratic national committee.
The majority democrats at their
meeting at Pierre did not propose .
candidate for member of the national
committee, but placed DR.. H. e. Rock,
of Aberdeen, on the ticket for nomina.
tion and election to the position Of
chairman of the democratic state com.
mittee.
Leaders Of the dominant faction of
South Dakota democrats make light of
the movement started by members of
the minority faction to capture these
two important positions. charging that
at least some of those behind the
movement are men who have selfish
personal interests to serve and have
not the best interests of the democratic
party Of South Dakota at heart.

IN This STATE
LIVELY INTEREST in COMING
PRIMARY CAMPAIGN.
IN FULL SWING SOON
MANAGERS OF VARIOUS PARTIES and
FACTIONS HAVE ARRANGEMENTS
MADE FOR COMING BATTLE.

Sioux Falls, 8. D., Jan. 23-The
managers Of the various parties aud
factions in South Dakota, it is under.
stood, now have arrangements perfect
ed for the opening of the campaign
which will culminste in the primary
election on March ii, when the voters
Of the state will select candidates for
United States senator for the national
house OF representatives and for the
various state offices, as we'll as mem
bers OF the Legislature and for other
positions. who will occupy places on
the ballots which will come before the
voters Of the state at the general cleo.
tion next November.
What are known as the progressive
republicans, who are in control of the
state administration, and the stalwart
republicans, who have fought q num-
Der of battles in the past for supremacy
in the state, will, during the campaign
now about to open, wage perhaps the
hottest of the series of battles in which
they have participated at intervals dur
ing the past six or eight years. In the
campaign now about to open the fac.
tion formerly known as stalwarts will
carry on the warfare against the domi.
nsnt faction under the term antima.
chiue republicans, while they will refer
to the members Of the dominant fac
tion as machine republicans. This will
be reversing things from the early
fights between the factions. when the
stalwarts we're in control of the state
and were termed the machine republic
cans by the progressive republican
faction.
One of the chief issues which will be
brought to the front by the antima-
chine republicans during the primary
campaign which now is about to be
commenced will concern the increase
of taxes in the state. They will charge
the dominant faction with extravaganza
in the management of state affairs,
and will present figures designed to
support their charge that the increase
In taxation thruout the state, under
what they term ''machine" domination,
has been much greater in proportion
than the increase in population.
The campaign is expected to be in
full swing by the opening of February,
and as only about seven weeks will re.
