DISCUSSION OF THE POLITICAL.
SITUATION In SOUTH
DAKOTA.

Pierre, Dec. 9.-Pierre had a sur
felt of politics last week. Yet, while
number failed to reach their desire,
there is little visible discord in the
work OF the conventions Of all parties
and unless there is some further de-
velopment the only reason for a state
primary election in March, under the
Richards" primary law. will be that
to give Richards himself an opportu-
nifty to test strength with w. H. Nc
Masters for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation. Under the law If there are
no opposing tickets put up by the
proposal conventions, or no petition
nominations presented, then all Sc
lections of the different parties auto
matically go to the November cleo
tion without the intermediary pri-
mary in March. While the door will
be open for either a minority filing
or Independent filings for any place
up to January 1. the only thing, other
than the filing of Richards, in sight
at the preesnt is that OF independent
filing by various presidential candi-
dates.
The democrats managed to heal up
their differences and named just one
ticket, but placed Claude E. Harris,
of Sioux Falls, on their list for lieu
tenant governor, and that individual
last night emphatically has stated to
friends here by long distance call
that the democrats had made an err
ror In their calculations as he does
not belong on their side Of the polft-
ical fence, but is republican.
While the defeated candidates in
ALL the conventions no doubt feel
that they did not get the considera-
tion to which they were entitled, the
general feeling following the meet
ings appears to be one of intent to
abide the work of the different or
ganizations and let things drift for
near another year and then take up
the real campaign work.
The women were In evidence at
this their first opportunity to get In
to the political game. and each con-
vention had Its showing of women.

the floor, the republicans two and
