DEFIN Els STATUS
REFERRED LA WIS.


Pierre, S. d., Oct 25.-Apparently
from discussions, and even the position
taken by several papers in the state,
there is Misunderstanding as to the
effect of no or yes vote on the referred
laws.
The proposition appears to be more
indefinite in the opinion of voters as
to referred law No. than to the other,
No. 2.
Several papers which have declared
themselves strongly opposed to any
backward step on the prohibition issue
have advanced voting "No" on this
amendment to "defeat the Richards ref
erendum,"
BY voting NO." instead of defeating
the "Ricbards referendum" they are
supporting it, and assisting in stopping
the effect of the law as amended by the
legislature.
| To know certainly whether the voter
wants to vote for or against the prohi-
bition issue it should be borne in mind
that the referendum had for its effect
the stopping of the operation of the law,
and that until it receives favorable
vote of the people of the state it is of no
force and effect, and to give it this force
requires an affirmative vote.
If voter does not want to strength
en- the prohibitory law, and wants to
oppose the effect of the new law, he
should vote mo"
If he wants to support the law he
must vote Yes. +"
The proposition is not one of submis-
sion of law for approval, but one OF
approval or rejection of a law already
passed, and an affirmative vote makes
the law effective, while negative vote
wipes it out.
As to referred law No. 2, it is In the
same position. 1t is law enacted and
submitted. A vote yes means that the
people approve the law. A vote nc
means that they are opposed to it.

A R0USING RALLY
Hon. ]. R. Cash, Of Bonesteel, Makes Con-
yincing Address to Large Crowd
at Garlock Opera House.

Through the kindness and courtesy of
the Manager ofthe Garlock Opera House
the local Republican Committee was
able to procure that building for a Re-
publican meeting Wednesday evening
at which the Hon. j. r. Cash, of Bone.
steel 5, d., was the speaker, the speech
being followed by free picture show to
all in attendance. The meeting had
been well advertised and the hall was
packed to the doors. Mr.. Cash is fine

can manhood and the doctrine he ex-
pounded to his hearers was a fine, up
standing doctrine Of pure Americanism.
With a splendid voice and good deliy-
cry he held the closest attention of his
audience for nearly two hours while he

ment, thirty were Republican and seven
Democratic. He cited in clear and
forceful language, with official statistics
and records to back his statements, in
stance after instance of waste, extrava-
gance and business inefficency on the
part of the present Administration. He
read to his intently listening audience
various sections and paragraphs Of the
League Of Nations Of vital importance to
the American people, and then with
keen discrimination analysed those sec
tions and paragraphs so that the mean

tening to his explanation of Article \
and the attending articles bearing upon
and relating thereto, can conscientiously
say, lit is not binding" although for
partisan or personal reasons there are
persons ready to say 81 am willing to

1t was also brought out in the speech
that there are many sections in the
League of Nations Covenant with which
the ordinary citizen is not familiar,
such as the regulation of labor and i'm
migration. These are purely domestic
questions and the United States prefers
to settle them at home and not in Eur.

zens believe today, as did Washington,

so eloquently said, The United States
never has had to be told by little bunch
of European nations what she must do,

have to go to war! She doesn't haye to
be told now! And she never will have

WORLDS WHEAT CROP SHORT
SAYS FARM BUREAU

Huron, S. D., oct. 2S.-The United
States wheat crop is already oversold
There is world shortage of visible
wheat of two hundred million bushels
as compared with that a year ago. The
United States wheat crop is one hun
dred ninety million bushels under a
year ago. Those who have studied the
situation closely freely predict three to
four dollar wheat next spring. These
facts have come out in a statement issu-
ed from Washington by the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
The statement goes on to say that the
present low prices in the grain markets
are the result Of bear propaganda by
traders who sold heavily in foreign mar
kets several months ago when prices
we're high and are now endeayoring to
ill these orders at low figure. The
feeling prevails that traders, particularly
one of the large packing interests, are in
an extremely delicate position, and once
the market turns upward must make a
wild scramble to get enough grain to
cover their foreign contracts.
"We do not intend to call an organ
lied strike to withhold grain from the
market to force the price to regain its
true level" says j. k. Howard, Presi-
dent of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, "but We do feel that every
farmer should know the facts as to the
available supply and probable demand /;
and if on the strength Of these facts it
seems good business to hold, he should
be granted the necessary credit to DO so.
We do not believe the general consum-
ing public desires, to see the farmer ac-
cept the present ruinous prices offered,
particularly when the margins made go
into the pockets of the speculator rather
than to the man who buys the bread.

Don't forget to look over the proposed
constitutional amendments and referred
laws, which will be on separate ballots
at the coming election. There are five
constitutional amendments and two re-
ferred laws, which should be carefully
studied. The entire list is now running
in the Chronicle, and the voters should
inform themselves in these matters and
be ready to vote their sentiments In
order to carry, each amendment and
referred law must receive majority of
all votes cast in the election.

will be lawful game for the hunter until
sundown on the 30th of that month. So
far but few licenses have been issued by

securing one deer, the limit under the

Strength Of League.

While some of the democratic leaders
Of South Dakota profess to believe that
their party will develop more strength
at the election on November End than
the non-partisan league, recent reports
indicate that previous assertions that
the non-partisan league will be second
in the race in South Dakota, instead Of
third, as claimed by the democrats,
were based upon accurate information

CLOSING RANKS
Those Well Informed Assert Peter Norbeck
for Senate Will Great 0utdistance
Both Leading Opponents.


| BY ALFRED bJ JRkHOLDER.
In the opinion Of those well informed
it will require a whole battery of adding
machines to figure up the plurality by
which the republicans will sweep South
Dakota. 1t is said that day by day the
strength of the republican national, state
and senatorial ticket is growing.
1t is asserted that Senator Harding
will carry South Dakota by not less
than 80, 900 or 90, 900 and that the can
dldates for United States Senator, for
congress in the three districts and the
state ticket will sweep South Dakota by
pluralities greater than during any prior
campaign.
w. ii McMaster, republican candidate
for Governor, has practically no opposi-
/ ton and may prove to be the high man
among the republicans in the balloting
| He will receive the united republican
vote, as will be the case with the other
nominees on the state ticket, Congress
men ChristOpherson and Johnson and
Judge Williamson, nominees for con.
gress, and the other republican candi-
dates.
Norbeck Sure Winner.
Notwithstanding that the democrats
and the non-partisan league are center
ing their fight on Peter Norbeck, repub-
| lican candidate for the United States
Senate, his election by an overw helm
ing plurality is being confidently pre-
dicted by those in close touch with the
republican campaign.
Figures given out by Governor Nor
beck, showing that at the March pri-
mary election the republicans voting
upon the Office of United States Senator
cast about ten votes to one cast for the
democratic candidates, are significant
and indicate that the democrats ar,
striving to have a little innocent fuL
when they assert they will elect one OF
more Of their nominees.
One of the wags of the campaign ex-
presses the opinion that they have abou
as much chance of electing any of Their
nominees as that celebrated cat with
tallow candle legs hal in striving TO
make its way through hades.
VIII Back Harding.
The slogan Of the republicans in tie
closing days of the campaign is:
Back up Harding by electing repub-
lican United States Senator and three
Congressman from South Dakota"
Anotl.vr slogan which is proving pop
ular among South Dakota republicans il:
"A vote against Norbeck is a vote
against Harding"
1t is stated the republicans of the state
generally realize that the great repubH-
can policies cannot be enacted into law
unless President Harding has a republ
can senate and house behind him, and
for this reason, and with the determine
ton to have an end put to Wisconsin in
the national government, they are said
to be closing their ranks behind Cover
nor Norbeck and the other republican
candidates for the battle Of ballot on
November 2nd.

OF South Dakota profess to believe that

LYRIC

An excellent reception was tender ed the Poi Players in their presen- tation of that pleasing farce comedy, 'Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" at the Lyric theatre. The production is one of the best of it's kind on the
 tage today and although it is as funny as it could be made there are no objectionable features or the slightest vulgarity to produce the laughs. Mary Ann OentIer in the character of the reporter for a so- ciety scandal paper is excellently cast. The love scene between her and Ar thur Chatterdon, the leading man in the second act is worthy of special comment.
 For next week the Players will again step into the IimeIight with one of George M. Cohan's most success full dramatic efforts, "A Prince There Was" This production was put on the stage by another star who did not fancy the character when the author George Conan stepped in and played the leading role himself scor- ing series of his usual successes.

I'm The TheaierS
POLI'S


 A trick used by crooked gamblers is illustrated in "The Sporting Duch- ess," which is being shown today at Polls for the last times. The prac- ttce is very common and one that is checked only by exposure. It re- quires a confederate, a disinterested person, who moves about the room glancing at the various hands. He never speaks and is apparently un- concerned. At the proper distance he manages to signal to his part ner in a manner that would be un- noticed.
 The Duchess, played by Alice Joyce, becomes the prey of this man. She is disgraced and separated from her child, but manages to buy Clip stone and enter him in the Derby. Step by step she fights her way back and wins the position she has lost. Ned Nestor's Sweethearts with it's cast of girls, a comedienne that is out of the ordinary, and Ned Nestor in person is a riot The Three Web CT Girls offer a distinctly metropoli- tan offering of skill and grace, doing stunts that no man ever performed on a stage. Combe and NeVins in their syncopated song offering clean up, the Bradnas divert in their quaint
 
 twirling and the Australian Merts, in a varied offering of imitation, song, piano and instrumentality appeal to all audiences.
 There are several comedy films that breed hiIarity and laughter and Pathe News is a university in itself.
 Local movie fans have heard with much interest of the great imperson- ation which Sheldon Lewis, the fam ous tragedfan, gives of the dual role of Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde.
 MT. Lewis will be remembered for his remarkable work in the Iron Claw and several other big produc- tions, as well as for his work with Virginia Pearsons. But his older Iau- rels fade into insignificance when compared to the triumph he has just scored in Pioneers elaborate screen
