ISSUE OF ELECTION
VOTERS OF SOUTH DAKOTA
FLOCKING TO BANNERS OF
REPUBLICAN LEADERS,

Sioux Falls. Oct. 31.-The 100
per cent American voters of South
Dakota, with the election only about
a week away, have aroused thea
selves to the Importance Of the cleo
ton, and the necessity for bringing
about the defeat of the non-partisan
league ticket.
They realize hat the success of
that ticket would place South Da-
kota in control of nonresident lead
ers of the league, living in Mime
sofa and No. III Dakota, who would
conduct the affairs Of Tie state fCI
tEp advancement of their own selfish
Interests.
Those who have made a careful
canvass of the situation state that
the great body of South Dakota vot-
ers is composed of men who are 10y
al to the state and national govern
ments in the wal with Germany, and
that they will vote for the r~e-elec-
ton of Senator Sterling and Gov.
4NOt DCthI III lO1 lAC SltNtlOlI vi w
three republican candidates for CON
gress and for all the nominees of
the republicans for state offices.
The republican state officers and
other republican officials have been
intensel.E loyal to the national admin
istration in all raj measures and ac-
tivities, and it is asserted by those in
close touch with the situation that
the republican party representing as
it does in South Dakota the loyalty
side of the issue now before the peo-
pie of the state, is entitled to the
vote of every patriotic democrat in
South Dakota.
They further assert hal a victory
for the elements opposing the war,
and would virtually be a reputation
of Senator Sterling, Gov. Norbeck
and the other republican nominees
because they had been too loyal to
the national administration during
the stress of a great war with the
greatest military power that eve eX-
listed on earth.
In other circles it is stated that
thousands of the patriotic democrats
of South Dakota have a full concep-
ton of the importance of electing
100 per CEN Americans to office in
South Dakota this year and that they
will cast their votes for the republi-
can candidates and thus contribute TO
the removal of the menace of non
partisan league domination and all
that it represents.

STATE E w

Yankton - The death occurred
here of Mrs. Hrdlicka, of Lesterville,
a victim of influenza. Her death Is
the fourth in the Hrdlicka family
during the present epidemic in the
Lesterville vicinity.
Emery-Vincent Krier was pain
fully injured when he was caught in
the revolving cogs of a manure
spreader. The boy tied his little
wagon to the rear of the %spreader
and when the machine started the
rope wound around the wheels drag
ging the wagon and boy into the
spreader. The boys scalp was al
most entirely torn from his head.
Aberdeen-Thirty-four cases of in
fluenza were reported to the city
health office for Sunday and Mon
day. The detention hospital east of
the city is now full. Twenty-one pa
tients. The hospitals at Westport
and the other towns where emer-
gency hospitals were established are
running in excellent condition and
the nurses and city teachers and as
sistants are still at work to help
stamp out the epidemic.
Flandreau-Ernest Halter, a Elan
dreau boy who has been fighting
with the American expeditionary
army in France for some time, writes
his sister, Miss Rose Halter, of this
city, how a hit from a bursting shell
put him in the hospital. Well" he
writes, II am still in the hospital.
My sore leg is getting well very fast.
1t was not a bullet that hit me; il
was a piece from a large shell that
burst near me-"
Aberdeen. w. HallowelI, first
assistant to Herbert Hoover, and r.
w. Boyden, head of the enforcement
division of the United States food adj
ministration, will be in Aberdeen for
a few hours next Sunday on their
way back to Washington, ID. c., from
a tour of the west, including a meet
ing in Fargo, with the entire state
food administration force of the
north state. On account of the in
fluenza quarantine and the fact that
the men will be here on Sunday, Mr..
Herreid is not making any arrange
ments for a public gathering, but the
men will be here and will confer with
him on state food administration
problems.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.

1t is not a myth, but a reality and
women may find it in perfect func-
tional health. Women who want to
grow old gracefully should guard
against all organic weakness and de-
rangements. and at the first symp-
tom of such conditions resort to
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, natures own root and herb
remedy, to restore health. For three
generations women of America have
upon this successful rem
edy and have found no other medi-
cine to equal it.

silent PRAYER
SOUTH DAKOTANS ARE RE-
QUESTED TO OBSERVE NO
VEMBER 3 WITH NOON
WORSHIP.

Huron, Nov. Expressing a be-
lief that concentrated effort and
thought gives unlimited power, the
South Dakota council of defense has
issued over the signatures of Gov.
Norbeck as chairman and George w.
Wright as secretary, a request to the
people of South Dakota to observe a
five-minute prayer commencing at
noon November 3.
The resolution says:
THE South Dakota council of de-
Tense feel that if the people of our
state would set aside five to 10 min
utes in which they could all join in
an appeal to the supreme ruler for
the increased success of our soldiers
and sailors and for the increased pa
triotism and support of the people at
home, that il would aid not only the
people of our state, but boys who
r now making the supreme sacri-
flee on the b~attlefields of Europe.
Now, therefore, we ask that every
person in the state of South Dakota,
beginning at IL o'clock noon on the
Sd day of November, 1918, bow their
heads for five minutes in silent pray
er, thanking Almighty God for the
victorious advances of u army to-
gether with the armies of our asso-
%ciates, and recognizing our depend
anee upon the all-wise Providence
for guidance in solving the momen-
tous problems arising out of this SUI
preme struggle for the future peace
and security of the world, and that
the people of South Dakota may be
united in a righteous support of the
boys in khaki, so that we can truth
fully say that the morale of our peo-
pie is 100 per cent; and further that
when the ~autocratic powers of Europe
are thoroughly subdued, that our
boys may be returned to us.
1--WE will ask you, through your
county council, your county newspa-
pers and otherwise, to ask all of the
people to stop wherever they might
be at IL O'Clock noon on the Sd day
of November. 1918, and bow their
heads in silent. prayer for five min
utes."

SOCIETY REPORTING
AT PALM BEACH
Tampa Tines

Our good friend, the Palm Beach
Post, devotes its society columns at
this season of the year to the doings
of the wealthy folks who frequent the
Royal Poinciana, the Breakers and
the Casino The column is good
reading for humber folks by reason
of the perspective of the Posts So
ciety reporter. For instance we find
in a recent issue:
ga charming young woman who by
her most attractive blonde beauty has
elected much admiring comment dur
ing her stay of several weeks at the
Royal Poinciana is Miss Alice A.
Delamar, daughter of Capt. John R.
Delamar, New York, 1t would seem
, that the gods have outdone them
selves in the allotment of gifts to
/ Miss Delamar, as in addition to her
; exquisite youthful beauty she is one
| of the greatest heiresses in this coun-
try, her father having amassed a
great fortune in connection with his
extensive mining activities in this
country and in Canada"
We pause to admire the good for
tune of Miss Delamar, and wonder if
there are any other stray places in
which mines could be opened up.
But the Posts society reporter insists
that we learn about Mrs. Theodore G.
Marceau.
Mrs Marceau,' says the Post,
who instead of being a daughter of
Neptune, yesterday devoted the great
er part of her morning to golf was
on the Casino veranda with friends
and later at The Breakers at the
cocktail hours, looking as bewitch.
ing as ever in very pale blue frocl
and hat of the same tint with
touches of black. Mrs. Marceau is
now taking lessons in golf for which
sport she displays great aptitude ant
much affection, and it is probable tina
before long she will be worthy op
ponent to her clever and genial hus
band"
Ready sympathy goes out to Mrs
Marceau, who is learning golf. A.
long as her lessons continue she adj
mittedly has right to be presen
at all the cocktail hours" and VIZ
hope she learns the game wei
enough to beat her husband, Ri
there is still another paragraph which

 Sumatra Tobacco extended it's gain to eight points toward the last, and General Motors advanced 1-2 points. In both instances the movement prob ably was effected at the expense of the short interest.
 The most obvious case of cause and effect was furnished by International Harvester. the common shares of the domestic company gaining 3-S in connection with the announcement of the forthcoming voluntary dissolution.
 Moderate improvement was mani Tested by rails in the general advance of the last hour. but trading in that group always was of minor propor- tions. Peoples Gas and American Telephone were heiJEy. the latter ral- lying later. Sales were 265,000 shares.
