Aberdeen, S. D.-Mthough South
Dakota has just finished an exception
ally strenuous primary campaign,
that does not mean that politics will
be Il tame affair the rest OF the year,
far from it. IL. l.. Loucks, he re-
fused to enter the Republican prim-
airy, announcing his determination to
run as an Independent candidate for
United States senator, is actively in
the field already, and according to
word received here from Washing
ton, Senator Robert M. L~alfollette
Will come to South Dakota TO speak
for Loucks. and will also briag a
corps of speakers with him and
thoroughly organize the state for
Loucks. In addition, it is claimed
by the bull that Colonel
Roosevelt will come to South Dakota
some time before election, to cam
paign for the bull moose ticket to be
placed in the. field on April IL at a
meeting al Mitchell. Furthermore,
it is stated the Democratic hope to
induce President Wilson to Wis / the
state, on the theory that With q buli
moose candidate in the field and
l.ouclls running independently, there
may be a chance for the Democratic
candidate for senator, f. s. john
son, to win out. Another comrlica-
ton is the possibility that X. o.
Richards, who ran as an independ-
ent candidate for the republican
nomination for governor at the pri-
maries, may run independently oil all
parties for that place. In any event,
politics in South Dakota will be live
ly from April 10, when the bull
mooses start business, until about 6
O'Clock on The evenin gof November
3rd.
Judge Frank McNulty, who wa
defeated for congress from the Sec
ond congressional district, has rent
ed office rooms here and will engage
in the practice OF law. He has is.
sued the following statement regard.
ing the result OF the primary in this
district:
The returns are sufficiently com
plete to warrant me in concoding Tho
nomination of my opponent in thu
recent primary.
"It is with q feeling of relief tina
| return TO the practice of law.
Ienjoy the practice and have been sue
c~essful in the past and hope 10 b;
oven more successful in tirerdiat ure. u
II feel very grateful to the fciend
who supported me SO Loyalty in III,
campaign for congress. ii is 4
OF satisfaction to me that whore
was best known ! received 4 majorit
OF the votes. l carried every count
in the Fifth judicial circuit, includ
ing the city and county where | liv
and wner my opponent a!aiul hi
residence.
I'm conclusion j wish To say tina
experience has shown thatI Vie prin
airy OF every kind we have tried ha
proved to be a waste of energy an
money, q burden of strife, and a dis
rupter' of organized parties.
while creating animosity am
discussion in the community, il ha
wholly failed TO bring amout the &c
forms which were expected from i
The convention and caucus xssysteI
met the emergencies of tho past. ]
gave the nation Abraham Lincoln i
the greatest crisis that the natio
has ever met. 1t is doubtful if
primary would have done so vel
Abuscs grew up around the caucu
land convention, but these could nav
been removed by careful and wise les
islation. and / believe that it is til
duty OF the legislature to restore't,
the people of the state the Denfits o
the convention, regulated by law an,
shorn OF the abuses that grow IL,
around the old voluntary caucus.
4 THE ticket as nominated is III,
legally selected Republican ticket AM
| shall give il my hearty support"
