Promises, No
Cars For Shippers

Sioux Falls. S. Despite the fact
that officials in Washington claim the
grain movement orders recently is
sued are proving successful over the
middle west states, members of the
Sioux Falls grain exchange stated to-
day that this does not apply to South
Dakota, and that to date no relief has
come to the car shortage which has
.nterfered with the marketing OF
South Dakota grain for many weeks.
The increase in empty cars in this
state is not noticeable" said n grain
man who is director OF the exchange
here. There may be a slight increase
in the number, but it is only slight,
ard very far from what is necessary.
We heard from one dealer today who
had received six cars in the last three
months This dealer in former years
was shipping at least n car and us
Tally two cars every day in the week
at this time OF the year"
Many dealers who have cars of
grain sold for many weeks have found
II necessary to cancel the orders or
the orders we're cancelled for them,
because they cannot ship out the
grain, 1t is said.

Reply Regarding New
Depot Here, Received

Some time ago a petition and letter
Of protest from the Commercial Club,
protesting against the remodeling of
the present Northwestern depot In this
city, and asking for a new one, was
sent to the superintendent Office at
Huron. Following is the reply receiv-
ed from Mr.. Stewart, assistant super
intendent.
Huron, S. D., March 2. 1920
Dear Sir:
/ beg to acknowledge receipt of your
letter of the 18th ult and the petition
accompanying same. Until yesterday
| had expected to be with you at your
meeting today to explain our position
with reference to the desired improve
ments at Miller.
You, of course, unerstand the condi-
ticn of railroad affairs In our country
today, and therefore will understand
that at this time, March End, the rail-
roads having just been returned TO
their owners, we are absolutely unable
to give any idea as to the improve
ments that will be authorized this sea-
son.
/ will state, that as far as the Depot
facilities at Miller are concerned that
Miller is the second station on our
list for depot renewal on this division
in our budget prepared last fall for
1890 improvement. With the depot
improvements go some other contem-
plated improvements at that point.
or course, plans made some years
ago for the Encouragement of the
depot at that point would not answer
the purpose at this time. / feel GER
tain that any depot changes that are
made at Miller will be satisfactory to
the people.
am sorry that at this time it is
so utterly out of the question for us
to give you n definite information
regarding improvements at that point.
Yours truly,
+. N. Stewart.

majority Republican candidate for gov
ernor and r. o. Richards, independent
Republican candidate for the same Of
fee, met here in the third of a series
OF joint debates over the state under
the primary law. ar. McMaster ON
tinued his stand on the platform ad-
opted at the state convention. Rich
ards charged that it merely threw
sop to the women voters and SOL
diers.
In reply Mr. McMasters said that
women and soldiers were in conyen-
ton that adopted the platform, that
the planks regarding segregation or
boys and girls at the training school
ali of boys and hardened criminals at
the ~penitentiary were their direct
work as members of the convention.
He called On Richards to show proof
of the l%atter's charges there were ex-
~.travagance in the state administration
and demanded that he cite an example
of extravaganza or example of eccno-
my. Richards failed to meet the chal-
.lenge. McMaster said the Riihards
platform was a zero platform dealing
with and promising a forlorn hope OF
liquor and not touching upon roads,
educational or agricultural matters or
any other of real state Importance.

Down in Chicago there are two
Headquarters in the Congress hotel.
One ia maintained by the forces Of
Governor Frank o. Lowder and the
other by Leonard Wood. There is one
remarkable thing about these two Of
fcese. Never a day goes by but scores
of footsteps turn toward both suites.
Probably more people visit the head
quarters OF Lowden than enter the
Wood Offices. But the noticeable fact
is that the vast majority OF visitors
OF the headquarters OF Lowden are
men and women from his own state.
At the Wood headquarters visitors
register daily from many states.
From coast 10 coast Wood is known
and admired Every state In the un.

contact in some way or another with
Wood, and always has derived some.
thing OF benefit from that contact.
And now thai the time has come,
those states are sending their citi-
zens to offer their services to Wood
to repay. as far as possible. the things
that Wood has done for them. AS
each day dawns. II becomes more and
more apparent to those who are guild.
ing the political fortunes Of Leonard
Wood that the mass Of the rank and

Wood for president. And as each sun
