With leather and other materials used in the

to advance prices still further. Yet the de-

all factories are running to capacity. Each

INDIANS SCRAP
OVER NEW CHIEF
PINE RIDGE RESERVATION STIR
RED UP OVER DEPOSITION
OF JACK RED CLOUD
FROM HEAD OF
TRIBE.

Sioux Falls s. D.-Advices from
the Pine Ridge Indian reservation
are to the effect that there has been
great excitement among the Sioux
OF that reservation during the past
few days, this being due to the fact
that the tribal council, composed of
Indians from different sections of the
reservation, deposed Jack Red Cloud
from the position of tribal chief.
Jack Red Cloud is son of Red
Cloud the famous Sioux chief who
died year or two ago, and who for
many years was looked upon as the
head of the entire Sioux nation. In
dians representing the different dis
tricts on the reservation now have
held an indignation meeting at
central point, at which the action
OF the tribal council was bitterly de-
nounced and the demand made that
Jack Red Cloud be reinstated as chief
OF that branch of the Sioux nation
which resides on the Pine Ridge re-
servation.
Serious trouble between the In
dlans themselves is anticipated in this
event that the tribal council refuses
to rescind its action and reinstate
the deposed chief

SIN CANDIDATES LOOKING FOR
HONOR AT NTlNT SESSION.
MCFARLAND IS AFTER
CHAIR.

Pierre. S. D.-The contest fo1
speakership in the next legislative
session promises to call out some eX-
citement for the session, even though
there should be nothing else to start
things. With no one elected yet,
there are at least six candidate look
ing for the chief honor of the next
house, the list to date yeing A. C.
Roberts of Day, U. G. johnson of
Sphinx, j. G. Mcfarland of Coding-
ton, e. III. Withee of Turner, Lewis
Benson of Moody, and Il. B. Patter-
son of Potter
Of this list Roberts and Withee
have been members of number of
sessions and have both acted tenn
porarily as presiding officers of the
house at different times. Mcfarland
has been a member for two sessions,
and has been one of the active mem
bers on the floor all the time when
he took part in The debate on a
measure up. Patterson has been a
member of two sessions, and john
son and Benson, were new members
at the 1915 session.
While it is hardly likely that the
members will get up the "nervn" to
repeal the primary act. and enact
something along the lines of the old
Holman caucus act which preceded
the primary law first put into force
in the state. there is certainly a
strong sentiment for some such ac-
ton in the views expressed by voters
and the press of the state is any in
dication of real feeling in regard the
primary system of, making nomina.
tions.
One of the earliest advocates OF
the primary system, Ex-Governor
Andrew e. Lee, a short time ago eX-
pressed his views decidedly on the
question, taking the position that
while he had advocated the primary
system for many years, he wodld
now welcome a return to the conven-
ton system in part at least and put
an end to the present farce in the
state; and along with him a num-
