AFTER THE PRIMARY
INDICATIONS THAT RICHARDS
LAW WILL BE REPEALED

Pierre, Jan. 25.-Rumblings of a
coming onslaught by the Legislature
on the Richards primary law have
been heard ever since the session
started. The first gun was fired on
the third day OF the session, when the
house instructed the committee on
privileges and elections to prepare q
bill amending or repeating the Rich
ards law.
Thursday, Senator McMasters of
Yankton county delivered a broad
side when he introduced senate bill
No. 80, repeating the Richards law,
and replacing on the statute books
the law in effect previous to two
years ago.. 1t is likely the legislature
will have a number of bills to select
from when it seriously takes up the
question of repeating the present pri-
mary law.
Senator Urdahl's bill making the
governor superintendent of the cap
itol building and grounds, with pow
er to employ a deputy starts a Pierre
newspaper to talking about creating
more offices, but In this case the crit
icism is not warranted. The bill Gre
ates no additional offices. The duties
of the head janitor, who is now paid
$500 per year will be taken over by
the deputy provided for in the bill.
There Is much speculation as to
what the senate will do with the bill
abolishing capital punishment which
passed the house after some lively
opposition. The senate is said to be
more evenly divided on the proposi-
ton than the house and opponents OF

Yankton, Jan. 25.-The state hor-
tieultural society adjourned here aft
er one of the most successful meet

in no such book being Issued for the
1913 session.

naming on the ground for the recess

ing over the record of what has been

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Jan. 25. Special: The
most important of the days martial
developments in Europe. If the re
port is based on fact, Is the an
nouncement from Petrograd, printed
in Paris, that Germany has Informed
Rumania that the latter country
military measures and its encourage
ment of a revolutionary movement in
.T%ransylvania constitute a hostile act.
Rumania has made no secret Of the
fact that her army is virtually on a
war footing, and there have been re
ports for weeks that she was about to
enter the conflict on the side of the
allies. Official confirmation of Ger
many's stand is not o~btainable, how
ever.
Fiercely contested battles continue
at various points on the western
front, but they have been devoid of
important results, so far as official
reports disclosed. The heaviest bat
ties are reported around Verdun and
in Alsace, while along the Belgian
coast British warships have lombard
ed the German positions at every sign
of action.
Renewed aerial activity by both
the Germans and the allies has pro-
vided a spectacular feature of the OPP
erations in the west. Dunkirk has
been the target for German bombs,
while Ostend, Bruges and Zeebrugge
have been visited by air craft of the
allies. All these cities are bases for
military supplies.
The great armies in the east ap
parently are resting on their arm
while their commanders prepare for
new developments. The Germans at
tack in front of Warsaw has become
less determined, while the armies IL
the C%arpathians are s%nowbound. The
Austro-Germans, military observers
believe, are preparing to turn their
attention TO the southeast, where the
Russians are marching upon Transyl-
vania. The Muscovite forces already
have met strong Austrian opposition.
Only minor engagements are report
ed however. by the Russian general
staff.
Reports about internal d~isaffection
in Hungary continue. Three hundred
peace meetings, said to have been ar
ranged for today, are reported 10
have been prohibited.
The resignation of the Austrian
premier, Count Sturgkh, is said to be
imminent, and Herr Won Bltlnski'
Austro-Hungarian minister of finance
has been mentioned as his probable
Talk of dissension among
the Germanic allies is not seriously
considered, however.
Chief interest in the war, so far as
this country is concerned, centers at
present in what action Great Britain
may take in reference to the cotton
ship Dacia, about to sail for Germany
from Galveston, and the food laden
Wilhelmina. now on her way to that
country.
Washington expects both ships to
be thrown into the prize courts, but
the state department has not an
nounced definitely what course Will
be pursued If the vessels are seized
by British warships. Disposition or
these cases is expected to establish
presidents of great Importance to
American shippers.
