of senators, appeal for election must
be made directly to the voters, and
in a campaign of this sort, party affil-
iations will have much less weight
than in the legislative gatherings
where such functions have been exer-
cised heretofore, as a consequence of
which the democratic candidates will
be no more handicapped than q candi-
date for state office. In fact, the
very successful national administra.
tion is likely 10 give senatorial and
congressional candidates a prestige
that will not attach to candidates for
positions more local in their signifi-
cance.
The congressional ticket is made up
of strong men; the brainiest in all the
state. T. M. Bailey of Minnehaha
county is the nominee in the First dis
trict, and there party lines are broken,
and his chances are as good for a ma
jority vote as the candidate of any par
ty. John H. King of Miller is the NOM
inee in this (the Secondj district; he has
resided in South Dakota for more than
thirty years; he is man of recognized
ability and worth. In the Third dis
trict the proposalmen chose their most
valiant warrior. Harry L. Candy of
Rapid City. Mr.. Candy made the race
two years ago and made remarkable
showing. His great army of friends
are ready to back him again stronger
than heretofore.
In the nomination for governor there
is an an aggressive and progressive
democrat, Judge James W. McCarter
of Ipswich. He is man of marked
business ability and if elected to the
governorship will prove competent
executive. Judge McCarter was among
the first men to take up residence in
South Dakota.
The Black Hills portion of the state
was recognized, by the placing of that
able young man orator and party work
er, John T. Heffron, of Deadwood, or
the ticket as candidate for lieutenant
governor.
For secretary Of state, that popular
business man of Watertown, j. E.
Bird, was named. His acquaintances
are confident that he will poll a heavy
vote on the east side of the state and
wherever he is known.
Jake Fergen, of Hutchinson county,
is the democratic nominee for treasurer
of state. He is German, and is good
vote getter; he has held many positions
of trust, and ever with credit to himself
and those he represented.
| One Of the newspaper fraternity was
recognized in the nomination for state
auditor, Chas. B. Fousek, of Brule
county, one of the few couties in the
state that has always been democratic.
Mr.. Fousek has been county auditor of
his county, and is young man of fine
business qualities.
w. j. Toner, q banker of Perkins
county, is the nominee for commissions
er of school and public lands. The pro-
posalmen from that section of the state
demanded this Office for the reason that
IS per cent Of school and public lands
are located in the northwest part of the
state.
Louis ". Bicknell Of Webster, one
Of the prominent lawyers Of the state,
was made the nominee for attorney
general. He is an entertaining public
speaker and is certain to be heard from
soon after the campaign is opened.
| For superintendent of public instruc-
tion the Bard Of Avon, !" Will Cham
berlain, was named, and the convention
could not have made happier choice.

SERIOUS WRECK
AT HAYTI, MO.
Engine Knocked OFF Track and
Flows FurrOw Is Feet Long
and Four Feet Deep
THE BLAMEIS NOTFIXED
Porter and Engine Crews Shaken
Up and Bruised, But No Loss
of Life Recorded

4 wreck which resulted in great
property damage, but in which for
tunatcly no lives were lost, occurred
at Hayti last Thursday night. An
engine was knocked off the track and
was literally torn to pieces, the cab
being completely destroyed and the
drivers and one cylinder torn off.
The engine collding with it, suffered
no further injury than the dcstruc-
ton of the pilot and head light.
The engine suffering the greatest
damage, was connected to the Camp
bell passenger train and was taking
water at the tank near the crossing
at Hayti. The engineer did not see
the approach of the slowly moving
freight train, and no effort was made
to avoid the impact. The porter on
the passenger train suffered a severe
shaking up and was considerably
bruised, but his injuries are not con-
sidered fatal. None Of the passengers
nor any other members Of either crew
were hurt, except that the engineers
and fircmcn sustained slight bruises.
At this time it is impossible to fix
the blame for the calamity.
When the engine was knocked from
the track the ground was torn up
for a distance of % feet, a furrow
at last four feet deep being formed
