DAKOTA REPUBLICANS
LIEUT.. GOV. NORBECk SEES LIT
TIE EVIDENCE OF FORMER
BITTERNESS.

Sioux City, March 17.-Lieut. Gov.
Peter Norbeck, of Redfield, s.. D.,
was in Sioux City for a few hours
yesterday afternoon, en- route TO Wy
oming for a weeks business trip.
Mr.. Norbeck is a candidate for the
republican gubernatorial nomination
at the primary election to be held
on May 23, and his easy victory Is
conceded by practically every news
paper in South Dakota.
Conditions are unusually quiet in
the republican ranks of South Da-
kota," Mr.. Norbeck said, and the
situation does not seem exactly nat
ural to some of us who have been
rather actively mixed up In the fights
of the past few years. There are
many surface evidences of harmony
In the republican ranks OF South Da-
kota at the present time.
1T seems to be the general opinion
now that no effort will be made to re
fer the primary law amendments
adopted at the special Legislative SEES
sion. and that the general nominating
primary will be held on May 23. My
understanding Is that petitions now
are in circulation in South Dakota
for a Cummins delegation, organized
ON harmony lines, and the election OF
this delegation, on a Cummins prefer
ence statement, is well assured. The
anti-Cummins men, apparently, are
considerably handicapped in the mat
ter of a candidate"
Mr.. Norbeck did not express or In
dictate any worries about his own
candidacy. 1T will come out all
right" he said, IF | get enough votes
in the primary and in the election.
My friends declare that no question
exists, in other case, and | am dis
posed to console myself with their
assurances. The fact that | am a
candidate Is sufficient evidence hat
| desire TO be elected. but even so ex-
allied an office as that OF the govern
orship Is not a life and death matter
with me. Whatever happens in the
primary, or in the election, | will just
keep on saving wood
