ELECTION LAW
PRIMARY LAW NOW IN FORCE IL
LARGELY LIKE OLD PRIMARY
ENACTMENT.

Pierre. Nov. 10.-The primary law
under which nominations will be
made for the next general election.
Is very much along the same lines of
the old primary act. which was in
use of the state for a number of
years before the Richards law" was
voted on by the people. But IL con-
tains two features not a part OF the
old law. One of them, party registra-
ton, which is practically a feature of
the Richards law" which was de-
sired to be retained: the other au-
thorizing the formation of new par
ty organizations, for a%ffiliation with
any existing national party organiza-
tion, a feature which has been kept
out of all former South Dakota cleo
ton enactments, but was a part of
the proposed "Coffey law" which, was
rejected by the voters at the last
election.
The registration feature of the new
law fixes the dates of registration
with township and city officers from
the first day of February to the third
Tuesday in April, after which the
books must be sen to the county
auditor. But cards are also sen out
and any voter who fails to get his
name on the registration books be-
fore the third Tuesday in April, may
get in on the registration cards up to
the eighth day of May. which ends
the registration dates. A voter who
failed to register at all. is yet given
an opportunity to vote at the primary
but the election officers can only give
him a ballot of the party under
which he was registered at the last
primary election, and he is barred
from coming in and claiming a last
hour change OF political heart.
The bull moose" people claim
that If there had been any provisions
for a new party organization in the
campaign Of last year. they would
have certainly flocked by themselves
but none such existed. But the new
law allows the formation of and the
placing upon the ballot OF names oil
candidates on petition of less than
per cent of the total vote OF ali par
ties in the state for governor at the
last general election, which will allow
them to get in as a new organization
such organization, though being re
quired to be under the name of some
national party organization.
The primary date is the first Tues
day in June of even numbered years,
at which all candidates are to be
nominated, but the followers of any
national party, the vote OF which al
the last election. did not exceed 10
per cent Of the vote OF the state are
allowed to select their delegates TO
their national conventions In any
manner at any time the party COM
mittee sees fit.
In case the national convention OF
any of the major parties is called al
a date too early for the selection of
delegates at the June primary. then
a special primary for such selection
is to be called the first Tuesday in
April.
No group tickets can go upon the
primary ballot. other than of groups
for presidential delegates. All other
names must 60 upon the ballot as in
dividual ones.

RETURNS FROM NOME
With 1858 WALRUSES
Although Monsters, Hunting
Them Is UnexCiting.

Seattle, Wash.-The steamers Cor
win, Captain j. X. Healy. in from
Nome, Alaska, brought 1853 walruses,
by far the biggest catch on record, ac-
cording TO Captain Healy and Oscar
Anneyik. the chief hunter.
The Corwin left Seattle on May |
with passengers and freight, reaching
Nome on the 21st. being the first boat
to reach the far north last spring.
Using Nome as Der base. the Corwin
made two trips among the ice foes.
On the first trip S41 walruses were
killed and 522 on the second.
The boat carried twenty-five armed
native hunters. They approached the
ice foes in a gasoline launch. while
the steamer stood by.
A walrus must be hit in the head.
The hide on the body Is so tough that
1t will stop any bullets. If not instant
ly killed the walrus tiops off the ice
and sinks in the sea.
Captain Healy says that walrus hunt
ing Is tame and would not attract
keen sportsmen. A walrus. he says.
will hardly ever fight. Sometimes. of
course. accidents happen. A walrus
may flop against the boat and smash
1t, or 1t may drive its tusks through
the planks of the bottom and rip them
open. But the steamer is never very
far away. and you can swim to tiff
you don't freeze TO death on the way.
Having killed the walrus. the steam.
err comes alongside the ice. and the
carcass is hoisted aboard and stripped
OF tusks. hide. whiskers and blubber.
The Corwin brought down 1893 bar
rels Of walrus oil. worth 81 cents per
gallon. or $5.07O, and four tons Of the
tusks. about $4,000 worth. as the ivory
is worth 35 to 80 cents per pound.
The whiskers are used in China for
toothpicks. and the Corwin brought
enough to make a valuation of $500.
The hides. of which there were 1852.
will go to tanneries In London to he
made finally into trunks. valises and
other leather things. The hides ought
to fetch $3S. 700. That makes q total
Of $49.270 for. the season.

Many men persist in advertising in

no one. "'rhe best is the cheapest

Claims like these unsupported by
