WILL BE TARDY
MAY TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS TO
GET RETURNS OF ABB
SENTEE VOTE.

Pierre, Get. 28.-While the actual
record of other states shows that all
are affected alike to a more or less
extent, the slowness of South Dakota
election returns have often been a
source of comment both in and out of
the state, and for the coming cleo
tion, under the absent voters law,
there are likely to be not only anx-
ious moments, but days and even
weeks for candidates on local tickets
where the vote is close, and possibly
enough uncertainty to put state can
didates into the anxious class as well.
Under the law 1t is possible that
some contests will not be definitely
settled until after the fourth Mon
day in December, which is getting
close to the first of next year. when
newly elected officers take up their
duties.
Under the absent voter law as IL
stands, the voter outside of the state
mails his ballot to the county auditor
of the county in which he resides.
All such ballots received prior to the
date of the regular election, are re-
CURED to be sent to the proper cleo
tion precincts by the auditor, the
same to be ~canvassed with the regu-
lar votes of the precinct.
If any ballots are received by the
county auditor after the day of cleo
ton, but before the county canvass
ing board meets, ii is his duty to de-
liver the same to the county AN
wasting board, and their duty to AN
vass the same along with the votes
returned by the election officials.
If any votes are received by the
county auditor after the county can
wasting boards have completed their
work, it is his duty to send them by
registered mail or special delivery to
the secretary of state, who shall turn
them over to the state canvassing
board, and that board shall canvass
the same and certify the results to
the different county auditors.
If any ballots are received after
the date of the anvas by the state
canvassing board, they shall also be
sent to the secretary Of state who
shall present them to the meeting OF
the state canvassing board on the
fourth Monday in December. This
meeting to be considered a continue
ton Of its regular session.

pie before taking so serious a step.
Doubtless Mr.. Urdahl, with proph-
etic vision, foresaw clearly all the is
sues of the world crisis as they have
since developed just as he was able
to anticipate Mr.. Hoover in perfect
ing the food regulations. However,
some may object to the method Mr..
Urdahl used in bringing these imper-
fections to Mr.. Hoover's attention.
Fourth. AS to my loyalty, If you
can find M instance, where l have
not supported the prosecution Of the
war to the utmost of my ability l
should like to be informed of it.
Please do not burden us with any
more indiscriminate charges. This
child's play may serve to amuse and
while away the time for one who has
nothing else to do, but busy people
want evidence.

SICK in CHICAGO
MADISON LADY WRITES OF IN
FLUENZA CONDITIONS
MANY DYING.

Under date of October 26, Miss
Gertie Edmonds, who is now at the
Norwegian Lutheran deaconness hos
pital, Chicago, awaiting a boat to
Madagascar, writes her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Ole Edmonds, of this city,
that influenza is terrible in the city
where she now is. People there are
undergoing a remarkable death rate,
still it seems to have abated some the
last week. She has not heard of any
sickness that is more terrible than
Spanish influenza. 1T comes like a
shot and takes the strong as well as
the ear Tying to oura il SENS
almost ,se e'3. yet, il It BE- taken in
time, she THINKS much couli be done.
One of the sisters died from it at the
hospital there, and another is very
sick now with little hopes of recov-
cry. Still another is i'll from the dis
ease and n of the nurses that grad
uated with Miss Edmonds is dying.
She can hardly live through another
day, unless there is a sudden change.
Miss Edmonds writes in this vein to
her parents to ward off surprise
should she be taken ill suddenly.
This is not to be wondered at since
she sees, as she says, two and three
taken from most families. She hopes
to escape as there is so much that
she can do to alleviate the sufferings
of others while so few nurses are
available for the duty.
Miss Edmonds has heard nothing
definite about the boat that was to
take her to Madagascar for mission
airy work and is now beginning to
think that it will be Christmas before
she can start on her journey.
Caroline Rad is in Chicago now
and Miss Edmonds is expecting to
have a good visit with her. 1t seems
that Miss Rad doesn't like Chicago
overmuch.
Miss Edmonds vas very interested
concerning the epidemic in Madison,
and equally interested, also, about
business here, giving one the idea
that she suspected that the epidemic
here would interfere with business
affairs, and, possibly, make a closing
order imperative which it has.

PASSED away
THOR NYGARD THE FIRST MADI-
son CITIZEN TO SUCCUMB
TO INFLUENZA.

The first death in Madison from
influenza and pneumonia occurred
last Saturday night when Thor Ny
gard, an aged gentleman of 72 years,
laid aside the business and cares of
this life forever. The deceased leaves
a wife and five children to mourn his
death. Of those two daughters, Mrs.
Roy Beasley and Mrs. Ben Harris, re-
side in Madison, and another daugh-
ter, Mrs. Hackett, is living at Lad
ner. The oldest son is still a resi-
dent of Norway. The youngest son,
John, resides in this city and was
present at the death of his aged
father.
Mr.. Nygard was always an indus
trious laborer. He has been engaged
at the local roundhouse in the capac-
thy of engine wiper.
On Wednesday of last week he was
complaining of being cold yet went
about his regular work during the
forenoon. After dinner he took to
his bed and grew seriously ill., de-
veloping a cas- of influenza with its
attending attack of pneumonia and
Saturday night he breathed his last.
Two of the city physicians attended
him, but apparently his age figured
against him in the struggle for re-
covery. Funeral arrangements have
not yet been made.

REPLY TO MIR. URDAHL'S RE.
CENT LETTER.

To Mr.. Hans Urdahl, City.-Dear
Sir: / was somwhat surprised at
seeing my name figure so conspic-
uously in your reply to DR.. Heston's
open letter to you asking for a re-
traction of certain malicious state
ments you have made to leading cit
liens of this community. Now your
statements regarding me may be
highly interesting. One essential
quality is missing, however-they
lack truth. Permit ME for the ben
eft of the public to correct these
statements.
First. | was at no such meeting
as you mention following the hospital
meeting and | can furnish you with
the proofs if you desire.
Second. You have credited me
with having influenced the men of
Lake county against you. You flat
ter me too much, Mr.. Urdahl. These
men land others have lived i'm this
community for years and knew you
long before / came to South Dakota.
All the information | have concern
ing you, aside from your muckrake-
ing of the Normal school has come
from these men. Why should | or
any other man desire to defeat you
at the coming election? l believe
that Madison and all of Lake county
are very eager to get a real live, bust
ness-like, honorable man into the
legislature who will promote the best
interests of South Dakota, Lake
county, Madison and the State Nor
NAL school. If you possess these
qualifications / see no reason why
this community should not boost for
you.
Third. AS to charges of pro-Ger-
manism being hurled at the heads of
persons of German descent, that has
long since become stale, Mr.. Urdahl.
Will you kindly produce this mystic
rious article to which you refer and
of which you say, Professor Buechel
wrote a strong article when the Lusi-
tania was sunk defending the Who'll
sale murder of innocent men, women
and children, ETC." Let me refresh
your memory in the matter of dates.
The Lusitania was sunk on May z,
1915. The only article l have ever
written on the subject of the war was
published in the Daily Sentinel on
April "a, 1916. War was declared
April g., 1917. Note this article was
written. not when the Lusitania was
sunk, but nearly a year later and
about n year before our entrance
into the war. No allusion whatever
Is made to the Lusitania nor have |
ever, either directly or indirectly,
verbally or through written state
ment, sought to justify this or any
other act of German barbarism.
The article was written in response
to a request by the editor OF the Sen

SENATOR URDAHL HITS BACK,

October %, 1918.

To Mr.. Mease: Your face expresses
a peculiar combination of malice and
stupidity. When you grin it is i'm
possible to determine which one pre-
dominates. Your editorial of Octo-
Der 26, like your visage, is a reflec-
ton of your inner self. / can hardly
believe it expresses the moral and
mental limitation of Heston's and
Hoidal's BOOSTERS. You pose as a
model citizen and leader in society.
1t is difficult to understand how you
could sink to the very lowest level in
your said journalistic attempt. How
ever, we have compassion with the
one who has been given but one
small talent to work with, and l pre-
sumo we should pity him If he mis-
uses even that.
You have always exhibited a mania
to sheer at every person of foreign
parentage. What freak from your
own ancestral tree has reappeared in
you, would be an interesting study
for biologists. l have in my office a
picture of an Australian Bushman.
| cut it out of a magazine because of
its resemblance to you. John Dahl
declares it is the missing link.
But for your yelled suggestion that
| have been professionally dishonest,
| should not have to write these COM
pliments. 1t is a disagreeable task.
but you have forced me to it.
Your method is that of a back
bitter. Were you not a moral coward
you would have come out with a full
plain statement and you would have
given me an opportunity to deny or
explain.
Not knowing what falsehoods you
and your BOOSTER associates, and
your hirelings have been circulating
behind my back, or what stories you
will concoct and spring at the
twelfth hour, when too late to meet
them, l will hereby give to you and
to the people of Lake county. the fol-
lowing:
Notice.
