kota and Minnesota can manipulate
the affairs of the commonwealth in
their own selfish interests.
Those who keep in close touch with
political conditions in South Dakota
assert that the nonrartisan league
wave is receding, with every day that
passes making it more certain that
Governor Norbeck and other republi-
can nominees will sweep the state by
an old-time republican majority. 1t
is confidently predicted by these OBJ
servers that the vote cast by the on
partisan league at the November cleo
ton will be much smaller than was
anticipated a month ago, and that
certain defeat stares the league In the
face in it's first campaign to fasten
it's socialistic clutches on the grand
and prosperous state Of South Dako-
Ia.
The fact that members OF the league
virtually have to pay a voting fee OF
$16, and general dissatisfaction with
the league leadership and the disloyal
record of most Of the league leaders,
are said to be driving farmer members
away from the league in droves. They
are stated to be deserving the league
much as rats desert a sinking ship.
Most of these deserters from the
league are returning to their first love

they do not have to pay a voting fee

Other republican nominees whose
election is generally predicted are:
Lieutenant Governor w. II. Masters;

secretary of state; Byron s. Payne,
nominee for election to the office of
attorney general of South Dakota
Jay E. Reeves, candidate for state au-
ditor; G. H. Helgerson, present state

ton; N. E. knight, present commits
