STATE POLITICS
REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT Oh
HUGHES SUCCESS IN SOUTH
DAKOTA.

Sioux Falls. Sept. 19.-Regardless
of the activity of the democrats, the
republicans of South Dakota are con
fident their state will be carried for
Judge Hughes. They base their con
fidence on several grounds. In the
first place the two former republican
factions are in this campaign united
upon the national and state tickets
of the party. This will strengthen
the national ticket by many thou
sands of more votes than the repub-
lican national ticket received in
South Dakota fou: years ago. Again
it was asserted early in the campaign
that quite a proportion of the pro-
gressive voters of the shakespeare
ers four years ago of Theodore
Roosevelt for president-were luke
warm toward Judge Hughes.
But now that Theodore Roosevelt
has strongly endorsed the candidacy
of Judge Hughes there is said to have
been a significant change in the at
titude of the former progressives to-
ward the candidacy of Judge Hughes
and those claiming to be in close
touch with the situation declare that
practically every progressive voter in
South Dakota will line up with the
members of the two former repub-
lican factions in the support of
Judge Hughes.
The fact that the two former re-
publican factions are united and
strongly supporting the republican
state ticket which is headed by Peter
Norbeck for governor, has caused re-
publican political prophets 10 stick to
their former prediction that Peter
Norbeck and the remainder of the
nominees on the republican ticket are
certain of sweeping the state at the
November election by a large sized
plurality. They declare that not a
single republican nominee is in dan
ger, and that the election will result
in a clean sweep for their party. The
republicans also confidently expect to
elect a large majority of the mem
bers of the state legislature which
will convene next January.
The republicans also expect to
make a clean sweep so far as their
nominees for congress in the three
congressional districts of the state
are concerned. Congressman Dillon
and Johnson are the nominees re-
s%pectiyely in the First and Second
districts. In the Third district, which
includes that part of the state lying
west of the Missouri river, John G..
Bartine, of Oacoma, is the republican
nominee. He has as his opponent
Congressman Candy. a democrat who
was elected two years ago because of
q division in the ranks of the repub-
leans of the district. who. when
united, have a clear majority of sew
leral thousand in the district. This
year the republicans are united on
John G.. Bartine and expect to bring

BETTER FARM PROFITS


Although The yield OF small grain,
as a whole, was greater in Lake coun-
ty last year than it was this summer,
both farmers and threshing machine
operators will realize a greater profit
on the seasons harvest than they did
in 1915.
With the exception of wheat, which
was a neal failure, practically all
grain here averaged well-in some
quarters far beyond that of most for
mer years. While in isolated in
stances corn was caught by last
weeks frost, an extremely large
yield of that grain is assured. And
most fields have grown large ears of
sound corn.
Last year fields of small grain,
which We're thought at harvest time
to u large in bulk, were found to
have yielded grain too light to be ex-
tremely profitable to either the farm
er or the thresher.
Sound grain this year has gone far
toward making up to the thresher
for the rank. but light grain of last
year, although it is predicted that on
account of the poor wheat crop.
threshing this year will be completed
earlier than it was last fall. ~Increas-
ed prices of grain are having their
effect on the farmers purses.
1t is estimated that some thirty
threshing machines are now i'm OPP
GRAFTON in the county. about the same
number as a year ago. So far own
ers Of twenty-one steam threshing
machines have filed bonds with the
county clerk. as provided by law. 1t
is known that a few who have not
yet filed bonds are operating steam
threshers, and that there are in the
county a few gasoline threshing ma
chimes for which il is not necessary
TO file bonds. Last year twenty
eight machine owners filed bonds
with the county clerk.
