FOR STATE SUPERINTENDENT

In Kingsbury county lives a nan
who wants the republican nomination
for state superintendent of public in
struction. and he is the kind OF a man
who the Register would be glad TO
see nominated. 4. A. Coulson is a
Dakota product and has spent his ac-
tive working life in the state. He
has a college education, has been
county superintendent of Kingsbury
county, giving fine satisfaction in his
administration of their schools. No
candidate so far named has any bet.
ter qualifications and we certainly
hope that he is named for the place.
We can heartily recommend him to
the republican voters.

SOME STATE RUMORS

For secretary Of state, three candi.
dates from west of the river are in
the field, with no one from east of
the Big Muddy. The contest appears
TO be between Henry McGrath of Ly-
man county, Bill Hursh of Lawrence
county, and Albert Norby of Stanley
county, for that place. While the leg
islative session was expected to start
several booms, and several different
forward as possible candidates at diff
ferent times during the week of the
session, none of them would agree to
go through with a campaign, and the
field was left open so far as an east
ern man is concerned.
From present indications there will
be no lack of candidates for United
States senator in the democratic pri-
maries next May. Among republi-
cans, Senator Thomas Sterling, pres
ent incumbent, and former Gov. +.
NJ. Byrne, of Faulkton, appear to be
the only candidates. But among dem
ocrats, Orville V. Rinehart, Of Rapid
City, the party nominee for governor
four years ago, and former Congress-
mar John +. Kelly, of Colman, are
avowed candidates, while L. S. Ct.
Cherry, of Sioux Falls, is a presump-
tive candidate. And James Coffey, of
Aberdeen, collector of internal rev.
enue for the Dakotas, is out in an an
nouncement that while he has not
sought the honor, his friends from va
riOus parts of the state have urged
him to run. and if it develops that it
is for the best interests of the party
he will do so.
There is to be a contest for the dem
ocratic nomination for congress from
the Second district, too, it appears.
Walter G. Jacobs. of Aberdeen, a rep
r~esentative in the state legislature in
thC SVooiOA vi iC1D, cOIllc lllllt dSO dill
nounced his candidacy. Now James
w. Carter, of Bowdle, who ran against
Peter Norbeck for governor, has an
nounced his candidacy for the demo
cratic nomination for congress.
Among the republicans, f. B. Patter-
son, of Potter county, thinks he would
make a fine successor to Royal C.
Johnson II the republicans of the Sec
ond district conclude to turn down
Johnson while he is away in the army,
and refuse to nominate Senator DON
aid Mclean. of Day county, also a
candidate.

BANDITS NAbBED
BY HOMERv|LLE9MEN
DEPRIVED OF ARMS
AND HELD FOR SHERIFF
Stole Auto In Cleveland And Dyna-
mited and Robbed Safe
In Sterling

That Homerville is an unsafe
place for outlaws to work was
proved early Sunday morning when
two armed auto thieves were corral
led and disarmed there by number
of citizens and school boys shortly
after an attempt to steal an auto
from the garage of Henry Barnes.
The thieves were of a party of
four men who it is believed stole an
automobile in Cleveland Saturday
night and drove to Sterling. At the
latter place they blew a safe in
general store and took about $3.50 in
money. In attempting to get away af-
ter the robbery the men backed the
auto, big Buick, into ditch and
were unable to get it out, whereupon
they ran to the B. & o. depot, secured
hand car and went to Homerville.
Mrs. Barnes was aroused by the
mems attempt to get her husbands
car, and called Mr. Barnes. The men
told the latter that they were after
water for their car and Branes took
their statement for granted and re-
turned to the house for pail. During
his absence the men got away. Barnes
aroused his neighbors and the robbers
were pursued for nearly mile before
being overtaken. They were ordered
to throw up their hands and were
marched back to the B. & O. station,
disarmed, and held until the arrival
of Sheriff Gehman and Deputy Pelton
| from Medina.
The men were taken to the county
jail where they gave their names as
Fred Lewis and Harry Smith of East
st. Louis, III. A registration card in
Lewis pocket, however, bore the name
of Eddie Long, st. Clair avenue, Cleve-
land.
In the Buick car were found two
numbers. One was 250857, nominal
owner Andrew Bromberger, 1O5O8
Kinsman road and 283146, James Bow
ers, 500 Hogue avenue, both Cleveland.
Monday evening Detectives Shibley
and FRANKIE of Cleveland came to Me
dina and took the men to the city for
Bertillon measurements, after which
they were turned over to Ashland
county for the alleged blowing Of the
