EWERT STANDS BY DEMUTH

Sioux Falls, May Al regret ex
ceedingly the unfortunate situation that
has developed in our district. Person
sonally | have not changed my attitude
in the least and stand squarely by the
action taken at the Mitchell meeting"
The above is the text of a telegram
sent by A. w. Ewert of Pierre, the
Albert Cummins manager in this state,
to Hans Demuth, a candidate for dele
gate to the Chicago convention on the
harmony ticket. 1t was Mr.. Ewert
who put Mr.. Demuth's name on the
ticket and after the ticket had been
agreed upon and accepted by both sides
a local fight was started against Mr..
Demuth on the alleged ground of his
opposition to Colonel Roosevelt. Mr..
Ewert. who is one of the progressive
leaders in the state, repudiates the
fight against Mr.. Demuth and an
n that he Islands squarely by
the action taken at the Mitchell on
vention."

CAN NOT WRITE NAMES
ON PRESIDENTIAL BALLOT

No provision is made in the South
Dakota presidential preference system
for writing in" candidates and the ex-
pressions will be confined to candidates
for whom regular filings have been
made. This limits the candidates to
Cummins on the republican ticket and
Wilson on the democratic ticket. Such
is the ruling made by Attorney Gener-
al Caldwell.
1t is possible this ruling may be sub
jected to a court test. but if it is upheld
an effectual damper is placed upon the
proposed writing in" campaigns for
Roosevelt and Hughes.
Alleged supporters of Roosevelt have
called q meeting for Mitchell on May
10, with the avowed purpose of push
ing a Roosevelt boom in South Dakota.
AS legal filings can no longer be made
for the primary of May % it is assumed
the Mitchell meeting was planned to
urge volunteer expressions.

Pukwana' Press Reporter; One of
the exchange states that Peter Nor
beck has a paid correspondent at Sioux
Falls who sends dope to the Sioux City
dailies about him being the. leading
candidate for. goxernor. His cores
pondent does not, however, state that
Pete is the tail. end and that he IS the
machine candidate for governor. The
people are wise to this guy and will cut
his chances for that Office short on
May 23rd. The voters will stand by a
business man and one who will give the
state business and not politics. That's
what Morcom of Sioux Falls, demo-
cratic candidate for governor is. What
want is some n who's above the
average candidate clean. honest and
who will do that which is right. Reg
ister as a Democrat and cast your vote
for Morcom on May 23rd.

AN AGREEMENT REACHED

Ell Paso, May 3. An agreement was
reached today by the representatives
of the United States, Generals Scott
and Funston, in conference with Gener-
al Oregon, Mexican minister of war,
on the issues raised by the continued
pursuit of Villa by United States
troops.
General Obregon receded from his
request for immediate withdrawal of
the American troops, and consented
to a proposal that such retirement
take place in sixty days if not soone
because accomplishment of the object
sought.
In return for this agreement by the
United States to withdraw, Obregon
has agreed that during the sixty days
the American forces shall have the aid
and co operation of the Carranza army
in seeking to capture Villa.
He also agreed that during such time
the Americans are to have full use oil
the railroad through the section ira.
versed by the troops, to facilitate their
movements and the transporting OF
supplies.

The revolt in Dublin has undone
much, or all, of what Redmond has
worked increasingly for a political
lifetime to accomplish. 1t has rent
the curtain of diplomacy with which
he has been shielding from England
the true feelings of Irishmen and, in
all probability, will result in the as
tendency of Carson and his Obstetrics
when peace is once more declared.
1t is one of the most regrettable Incl
dents in which hot feelings have
overcome better judgment and have
put farther off the attainment of Ire.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Pierre People Know How
to Save If

Many Pierre people take their lives
in their hands by %neglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys are respon-
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and i'll health--the slightest delay is
dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney Pills
"a remedy that has helped thousands
of kidney sufferers. Here is a Pierre
citizens recommendation.
R. E. Murphy, farmer, Pierre.
says: kidney complaint had made
me an invalid and I was confined to
my bed for a month. l was anable to
move hand or foot and my right limb
had swollen to twice its natural size.
My whole body was racked with pain
and the kidney secretions were in
terrible shape. My case was q puz.
zle to the doctors and they seemed
unable to help me. l used Doan's
Kidney Pills and in about three
weeks I was cured"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Deans Kidney Pills-the same that
cured Mr.. Murphy. Foster Milburn
