BARTINE VOTE
LOOMING LARGER
REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATE GATH.
ERINts STRENGTH in THIRD,
DECLARE HIS FRIENDS.

.FsBcadwcod, S. D.-That western
South Dakota will send a Republican
TO Congress next year is an opinion
frequently expressed, which appears
toasba gaining as election day draws
nearer. Politically speaking, the
eyes of the state are focused on the
big Third district, where Judge John
g. Bartine of Lyman county, the Re
publican nominee, seeks to displace
Congressman Harry l.. Candy of
Rapid City.
Bartine is actively campaigning
through the district which is no
new work to him, for he enjoys a
wide acquaintance from previous cam
paigns and has the faculty OF holding
the friends he makes. He is espec-
tally popular among the homestead
ers and cattlemen for his long and
successful fight in the early days of
western South Dakota to rid that
section of rustlers.
1t is generally conceded that the
appearance of Senator w. S. Kenyon
of Iowa at Rapid City. helped Bar
tine. Senator Kenyon made a strong
plea to Republicans to give Hughes
q ShdHCS W uO lllIlSS Wltu d RepuD-
fiican Congress and urged united sup
port for Judge Bartine in the district.
Pennington county, of which Rapid
City is the county seat, although the
home of Candy, is this year regarded
as leaning strongly toward the Re
publican side. Then the split in the
Democratic ranks there is aimed at
at Candy directly and is one of the
hardest obstacles in the way of his
present campaign. This same split
to much less marked extent, ex-
lists in other parts of the district and
Candy has found himself in constant
tight places over the distribution of
patronage among the faithful.
On the other hand splits in the
Republican ranks in the district two
years ago have healed and where they
were then a tremendous handicap to
the Republican nominee. today Can
dy is forced to fight without much
influential aid outside his party.

MITCHELL LOSES
OPENING BATTLE
THE GREEN ELEVEN SHOWS
STRENGTH IN INITIAL GRID
IRON TEST.-WIIL PLAY
ARMOUR HERE ON FRI
DAY.

Falling before the attack of the
more experienced Sioux Falls eleven,
Mitchell high school emerged with
the short end of a 80 to 8 score on
the formers gridrfron Saturday. The
defeat will practically eliminate the
local team from the possibility OF
winning clear title to state honors
Although the score looks dis
couraging, the fight staged by the
local eleven was better than expect
ed. The team was the lightest in
years and only three veterans re-
manned from last years eleven The
result was a green team which
would be expected to receive fright
full beating in its opening encounters.
The game, at all stages. was
fairly close and hard-fought. During
the first quarter, Sioux Falls was able
to puncture the Mitchell line for
consistent gains, but after the thrill
of the first quarter had passed. the
Blue and White" steadied and pre-
scented stone-wall that it's oppon-
ents could not pierce.
During the first period, Sioux Falls
amassed 10 points. The second quar-
ter was all in Mitchell's favor,
neither team scoring, but the ball
being in Sioux Falls territory most
of the time. In the third period,
Grundland dropped back to the 25-
yard line and booted perfect field
goal, after the Mitchell squad had
carried the ball into the enemy's ter
ritory by series of line plunges and
forward passes. Then Sioux Falls
came back and showed three more
touchdowns across Mitchell's bound
airy line.
There was quite marked differ
ence in the style of play of the two
elevens. Sioux Falls made her gains
by long end runs and open field
work, while the local eleven plung-
cd and smashed its way through it's
opponents line and mixed in series
of intricate forward passes, which
resulted in good gains.
Honors for steller work doubtless
belong to Captain Scheurenbrand
and Anderson. Hoagland played a
good game at quarter, exhibiting a
good brand of generalship for a
beginner. The Mitchell line as a
whole worked we'll. Murray was a
little below last years form, due to
a recent injury to his foot
Coach Wheatley will commence at
once to point his men for the Ar
mour clash on Friday. With tho
experience gained in the Sioux Falls
meeting, it is expected that the men
will be able to win substantial vic
tory from the Armour eleven. The
game will be played at Hitchcock
park Friday afternoon.
The Mitchell lineup was: Creigh-
ton, right end: Murray, right tao
kle; Armstrong. right guard; An
derson, center; jacobson, left guard;
Hughes, left tackle Scallin, left
end; Hoagland, quarterback; Stew

CURTIS SUED

FORMER COUNTY COMMISSIONER
ASKED TO RETURN MONEY
RECEIVED OVER $500

Suit has been commenced by Laur-
itz Miller states attorney acting for
Dawson county, against A. j. Curtis.
formerly county commissioner.
charging that he was paid more than
the state law allows during his years
of incumbencv.
The legal provision is that no COM
missioner shall receive more than
$500 in salary each year, and the
complaint alleges that Mr.. Curtis
was paid an excess of SIS in 1911.
Sl35 III 1912, and S35 in 1918. The
county seeks to recover the $235
with interest at per cent.
Suit was started on the report of
G. j. Alexander, state accountant,
calling attention to the state law
covering ..le pay of commissioners.
Ii is not a reflection in any way upon
the integrity of Mr.. Curtis, as the
full time for which he was paid was
put in and the services was rendered
Other commissioners also are said
to have drawn more than the legal
limit. most OF their time being put i'll
on road work in this county, which
has been particularly extensive dur
ing the past few years.
This suit probably will be regarded
as test case, as to whether counties
shall be allowed to pay for the full
amount of services rendered by COM
missiouers, or shall be bound to lin
1t the pay to $500 annually. No

S. D. DEMOCRATS
STAND FOR HUGHES
C. O. BAILEY. OF SI0UN FALLS,
LIFELONG DEMOCRAT. HEADS
NEW ORGANIZATION.

Sioux Falls. S. D.-Whle it is con
coded that few weeks ago sentiment
for President Wilson was strong in
South Dakota, Republicans who have
recently taken occasion to sound sen
'timent in this respect throughout the
state report that recently there has
been a pronounced subsistence in the
Wilson wave in South Dakota and
that Republicans generally now are
lining up in support of Judge Hughes
FOR president.
With each day that passes the Re-
publicans of South Dakota are said
to be becoming more confident that
they will carry South Dakota for
Judge Hughes for president and elect
all their nominees for state and other
positions. They also assert they will
elect big majority of the members
of the state legislature.
The Republicans now are claiming
that Judge Hughes will secure many
Democratic votes in the state and in
support of this belief cite the recent
declaration of C. o. Bailey. lifelong
Democratic attorney of Sioux Falls
that he will vote for Judge Hughes
for president and accept a place as
president of Hughes for President
club. During the entire period of
statehood 5udse Bailey has been
prominent in the affairs of the Dem
pcratic party of South Dakota
