Pittsburgh, Pa.-Cancer and the

NDERSON ON

STAKE HE WOULD HAVE
WON.

Pierre, s.. D.-State Auditor Henry
b. Anderson today issued the follow
ing statement:
THE state primary being over, !
wish to take this method of thanking
my friends all over the state for the
splendid support that they gave me
on March oath. / appreciate this 10y
atty and vote of confidence
than l would have appreciated the
nomination for the office of governor
as l appreciate friendship above all
things that men can give one another.
when consider the obstacles
that confronted us in this campaign
| wonder that we We're able to get the
vote that we did receive, with a per-
fectly organized machine in every
county in the state against us. The
most perfect state organization that
has existed in the state since state-
hood, backed by the shrewdest ana
kcenest politicians of the state, wfth
an abundance of funds at call, and
backehsby the strongest corporations
in The state that lent their influence
for the end that was consumated. On
the other hand | went out into the
field almost lone-handed and was
only able to go into a few counties
and meet only a very small percent
of the voters of the state. All in all
the showing made is very gratifying,
Had it not been for this corporation
deal and the three cornered fight, the
Outcome would have been entirely
different.
Personally l have no regrets as i
carried on a clean campaign and did
not stoop to Misrepresentation or
personalities as used by the opposi-
ition.
II feel thankful not only to those
that supported me but also to those
THAT voted against me for by doing
SO they have saved me from a great
deal of trouble and worry for the next
1.-TWO years. -
tE.I may never be q candidate for
any office again but l shall continue
to battle for the reforms that / have
begun that ! am sure will be of great
benefit to the people of the state, and
/ am sure that the people of the state
are beginning to wake up to the fact
that reforms are needed. These things
go slow but the time is not far dis
Itant when they will come and the
person who brings them about never
gets the credit for what he has done.
II bow to the will of the people
as ! am willing that they shall rule
and their will is law.
Il am a Republican and always
have been and therefore shall sup
lport the ticket nominated by the Re-
publican party On March Gath, and
my hope and ambition is that these
men when elected and installed in
their various offices will not forget
to perform their duties as provided
by the laws and constitution of Jul
great state. and be an honor to the
party that has chosen them to adj
minister the affairs of our great
state.
Thanking n and all I beg to re-
main one who shall always take great
interest in the affairs of our beloved
state.

in Sioux City, Is Captured After
an Hours Struggle.

Sioux City, IA ferocious bull be-
ing driven to the stock yards by H.
Fish, farmer, broke away as he
mounted the viaduct and caught first
view of the packing houses. The
frenzied animal gored Fish and his
horse, severely injuring both. .
Believing and snorting in his fury,
he rushed through Fourth street,
Sioux City's principal business high
way, chasing pedestrians to owe and
spreading terror on all sides. winding
up his mad rampage by breaking into
the First National bank, Fifth and
Pierce streets, causing a panic among
officials and clerks. The rampage
was ended when the bull became
wedged in the revolving doors, where
he paved and kicked in desperation,
evidently determined to clean out the
money temple.
The fire department was called out
to aid the police. The animal was las
seed and bound after an hour of
m%anoeuvring in the presence of an ex-
cited crowd which would have done
credit to a Mexican ball fight assem-
blage.

Rum0rS of Great Victory
In East Reaching Berlin

BERLIN. Nov. 25.-The war office
continued today to confine its state
ments regarding the fighting in the
General Won Hindenberg's army was
still engaged without decisive result
having been reached.
Rumors of a great German victory
in Russian Poland, between the Wis
tula and Warthe, are heard on the
streets, but there is no official con-
firmation Of the result Of a conflict
which admittedly will play an i'm
portant part in shaping the course OF
the war.
After the Germans first struck at
Warsaw and were driven back, the
most extensive preparations were made
for a second advance and this leads
to confidence of success here. The
Russians have apparently fallen back
about eighty miles since November 8,
but the absence OF official claims Of
a decisive German victory leaves the
capital hopeful but uncertain.
General Won Hindenburg and Arch
duke Charles Francis Of Austria seem
to have accepted battle along a line
highly favorable strategically to
pressing home central attack
against the enemy, who Is suffering
the same disadvantage as the Ger
mans encountered before the Warsaw
IvangorOd line recently. The roads
in the Russians rear are in wretch
ed state. the Germans having accom-
plished a thorough Job Of destruction
on their retirement. The Russians
are jammed together on three sides
and are hampered greatly in bringing

Mr.. Lansing declared that as far as
he knew Secret Service agents have
found no large wireless station in either
Maine or Florida. He said that the IN

going to the Maine woods have taken
wireless outfits with them, and when
they left they failed to remove much
of the apparatus. Others have gone
into the woods. Mr.. Lansing said, have

story that the United States Govern
ment is Investigating charges that
the German embassy is trying to stir
