Pierre, s.. d, April 26.-The secretary
of state holds that Saturday, April %.
was the last day upon which candidates
for the place of presidential electors
could be filed in that office to secure
IL place on the primary ballot. The re-
publicans have filed the following
names for presidential electors, in ad-
dition to those filed by Richards:
George r. Douthit of Sioux Falls, Alvin
Wagner of Philip, Frank w. Neehan
of Milbank, H. K. Gjolne of Platte, and
c. K. Snyder of WATERFOWL.
Two sections in the primary law re-
late to the matter of presidential cleo
tors. Section 6, of the 1915 act, as
amended by section 4 of the 1916 act,
provides that any person eligible and
DESTROYS of having his name placed
upon the ballot as a candidate for pres
idential elector or delegate shall, at
least 80 days before sue election, file
his affidavit with the secretary of state
that he Is a qualified voter"
The other section is section 50 of the
1916 act. as amended by section 10 of
the 1915 act, mo it provides far the
nomination of presidential electors at
a state convention to be held the first
Tuesday in July, after the primary
election, thus getting these presidential
electors on IN fall ballots only, and not
on The primary ballots.
No official ruling from the attorney
general or secretary of state has been
mad to harmonize these two sections,
but the secretary of state is accepting
filings for presidential electors and is
going to put them on the primary ball
lot. So far no candidate has asked for

4 few days before his death: that five
lays later he dressed the hand of a
patient suffering from blood poison,
and while SO doing inadvertently
scratched his own arm and infected the
faccination wound Three days later
Dr.. Walsh lied of blood poisoning.
Mrs. Walsh claimed his death should
be classed as an accident. The insur-
ance company attorneys said there was
no accident, and Judge G. G. Sherwood,
who tried he case, agreed with them
and decided for the defendant.
