from Pocasset and then to verden.
The route from Chickasha to Cement

make it as short as the northern route
and in order to do that it will be nee

DEFEATED CANDIDATES
AT CLARK TO CONTEST

Clark. S. d.. Nov. 25.-As was re-
Gently intimated. one contest already
has been instituted and another is
probable as a result of the recent cleo
ton in Clark county, the two offices
in dispute being sheriff and clerk OF
courts. McAlpine's lead over Warner
for clerk of courts has now been Of
ficially announced as Al votes, while
Stinson ran 6S votes ahead of Page for
the office Of sheriff, according to the
official returns as canvassed by the
board Of county commissioners.
Warner has definitely decided to
contest the election and has served the
preliminary papers. 1t will be neces-
sary for the matter to come before the
circuit court. when the judge will
make the necessary arrangements for
a recount of the ballots cast at the
election on h office of clerk OF courts.
Page has not definitely decided wheth-
err on not he will institute a contest,
since the official count increased his
opponents lead, but may decide to do
so in the belief that a recount may
disclose errors in the voting precincts
that might give him a fighting chance
to capture the office.

sTEFFENs LECTURES TO
vERMILlON STUDENTS

Vermilion. S. D.. Nov. 24.-'The root
of the Mexican revolution is special
privilege" Lincoln Steffens, lecturer
and newspaper man, declared today
In an address at the University of
South Dakota. Mr.. Steffens spent two
Years In Mexico and returned to the
United States with a favorable opin-
ion of the Mexican people.
"Dlaz granted the natural
or the people to American corporations
IN return for bribes," Mr.. Steffens said,
but the English capitalists outdid
Americans and received greater con-
cessions from the Diaz ring. Mexico
IS a sparsely peopled country and theI
development of the material
OF MeXicosby foreign capital was halt
cd because of the lack of labor. Thirty
per cent of the Mexican people were
not compelled to labor for wages be-
cause OF the communal land system.
Around every village and town the
or communal land was open
20 all citizens who wanted to farm for
themselves. In order to increase the
supply OF labor; that is, to increase the
number of persons who had to work
tor wages to make a living, Diaz wiped
out the communal land system"
Mr.. Steffens, who first entered Jour-
nalism as a reporter of the New York
fost, has Travelled much for American
magazines and has studied economic
ana social conditions on 10Th sides of
tne Atlant In both of his addresses
at the University of South Dakota. Mr..
Steffens asserted his belief in the fun
aaInental ~soundness of. the people OF
Mexico.
