Start Test Case on
Relief Appropriation

Pierre, Nov. 20.-The last legisla-
tive session passed two appropriation
bills for $500 each for the relief of
Oscar Hunt and George Mackey, of
Clark, on account of injuries received
while firing a salute at one of the
old state guard encampments about
20 years ago.
Each of these men were badly in
jured at the time, but no action was
taken to give them relief until last
year.
Auditor Reeves has declined to is
sue the warrants in this case until the
court has passed upon the validity of
the claims, and the claim of Mackey
has been presented in the supreme
court for ruling through applica-
tion for writ of mandamus.

Pierre, Nov. 20.--The first round
OF the Richard primary was not ar
exciting one over the state SO far as
the reports which are drifting in
snow. In many precincts there was
no attempt to pay any attention to its
provisions. while in probably as many

women We're in evidence at most
places where any attempt was made
TO get out vote, and in some of the
towns fully half the vote cast was
by women. In one precinct in Pen
nington county nothing was done un-
til one woman rounded up enough of
her friends to get a list of delegates
elected.
In the towns, as rule, the plan of
selection was one woman and two
men as representatives in the county
proposal meeting, and the chances
are that the same lineup will be fol-
lowed by some of the counties when
they come to select delegates to the
state convention, and a part of the
representation which selects the state
ticket will be women.
The actual workings of the law

represented in the county conven-
tions, unless some one puts up, a
delegation with surface credentials
which can pass muster and get them

PEACE treaty DEAD
in THE SENATE
RECONSTRUCTION LEGISLATION
DELAYED ON ACCOUNT OF
PEACE TREATY DEBATE.

Washington, Nov 20.-Presiden
Wilson is expected to submit the
beaten peace treaty to the next ses
sion OF congress starting Decem bel
l. Another attempt will be made tC
obtain the ratification. The treaty
is dead today so far as the senate is
concerned. 1t went back TO Wilson
following failure of ratification at a
spectacular final session last night
The Lodge resolution of ratification
containing reservations was turned
down, 41-51. Resolution of un.
qualified ratification was defeated
1888. Senator Hitchcock who led
administration forces in the long
treaty fight today declared it would
be submitted by Wilson at the open
ing OF regular session. Compromise
will then be heard on the basis of the
Lodge reservations, slightly modified
Republicans of the mild reservationist
group said today.
Failure to ratify the treaty at a
special session marked the end of the
first sitting of new republican con-
gress which began May 10. What
was to have been a great reconstruc-
tion session struck an early snag in
the treaty and all attempts to enact
a program of domestic Legislation to
put the country back on a peace time
basis failed. The pressing reconstruc-
tion questions on which congress fail
ed to act were return of railroads.
reorganization of the army, repeal of
war time luxury taxes, establishing
merchant marine policy, opening
public lands for soldier settlement,
development of water power sites on
public lands, opening up oil, coal and
phosphate lands, government con-
troll of meat packing industry and re-
vision of court martial system. When
congress comes back December first,
action on these will be blocked until
the treaty is disposed of.
The nations attention was riveted
on the white house today for the
next move in the peace treaty bat
tie. Friends of President Wilson
could not believe he would swallow
defeat on the treaty and league of
nations in the interests of which he
has already sacrificed his health.
The president is working on a
statement to the people in which he
will declare chaos confronts the
world as result of the treaty failure
and putting the blame on opposition
in the senate.

very cheerless at times; but dwelling

will not aid us one iota. We, each, in
