FLAYS BOTH
THE NOM|N[
HARDING AND COX BOTI TOOLS
OF CAPITAL SAYS PETIT
GREW.

Sioux Falls, July 9.-Richard
franklin Pettigrew, of this city, for
mer United States senator from
South Dakota, who is recognized as
one of the most radical thingers of
the day, in an interview denounced
the nominations of Senator Warren
U. Harding, by the republicans, and
Governor James M. Cox, both Ohio
men, by the democrats for the office
OF president, charging that both were
dictated entirely by capital. The for
mer senator also bitterly arraigned
President Wilson, who he calls a
Tory"
Senator Pettigrew stigmatizes Gov.
Cox as a man who sis dominated bv
instinct rather than reason and ut
terly unqualified for the high office
for which he has been named, but
eminentiy satisfactory to the inter
ests and big corporations
Senator Harding he characterizes
as mild-mannered man of good dis
position, perfectly content to do the
bidding of the financial masters, but
either of them, he declares, is pre-
ferable to President Woodrow Will
son.
I'm regard to James M. Cox of
Ohio, as willing and contemplate
tool of the corporate interests" said
Senator Pettigrew, che knows per-
fectly who nominated him. He is
also absolutely unfit to be president
What do you think of a man who
as, governor, pardoned a murderer
who killed his neighbor because the
latter ridiculed him for buying Lib
erty bonds? | refer to the case of
Frank Ullion, and say that a gov
ernor who would issue such a par
don was suffering from war hysteria
and would violate the federal or state
constitutions or any other law for
the protection of life and property. -
But continued Senator Petit
grew, "the Cox nomination is typi-
cally democratic. He is not quail
fled for the office and does not know
anything of world affairs, but at that
he is better equal to it than was
Woodrow Wilson when he was nomi-
mated at Baltimore in 1912. Wilson
was ignorant of all president should
know, and so much so that he was
positively illiterate and his conceit
was so monumental that he refused
to learn anything during the seven
years of his incumbency. Governor
Cox is superior to Woodrow Wilson.
for he may some day learn to exercise
his reason"

Among the county superintendent
who are urging longer term in rur-
al schools of the state County SUI
perintendent Hayes of Sully county,
is one, and in his argument, among
other things, he asks whether the
farmer wants his. hired man to go
three-quarters of the way through
the corn each time he cultivates and
leave the rest of the field untouched.

NAMENT HERE JULY 20.

A fair-sZed crowd witnessed the
shoot at the new grounds of the Mad
ison Rod & Gun club last evening.
The clubs traps are located on the
north shore of Lake Herman and so
situated that the clay. pigeons are
thrown out in southerly direc-
tion over the lake. The members
have taken great pride in the selec-
tion of their location and have one
of the finest shooting grounds in the
state.
Ten of the boys tried their skill
in the first shoot and about 600 tar
gets were sprung from the traps for
the marksmen to shoot at. Most OF
the shooters averaged very well for
the first event of the season.

testants at these events as the men,

bers 40 and is expected to increase

islature was illegal because accom-

posed ratification by the Tennessee
legislature also would be illegal oil
the ground that the legislature lack

stitution to act on the measure.
Only 35 states have ratified the
amendment and as ratification by one
other is necessary the attack on the
amendment through the courts at this
time came as surprise in suffrage
circles here. An attack on the le-
gality of the action of the Tennessee
legislature had been expected, but
not until the legislature actually had
acted.

RECOGNITION
MEXICON SITUATION RECEIVING
MOST CAREFUL STUDY BY -
L. $. GOVERNMENT.

Washington, July 9.-The Mexican
situation is receiving more careful
study by the American government
than has any subject since the Paris
peace conference, it was stated at the
state department. This is with a
view to according recognition to de la
Huerta's provisional government,
provided satisfactory assurances are
gwen that it can and will maintain
order and will live up to the obliga-
tlons respecting the protection of
the lives and property of America
citizens.
lglesias Galderon, the special en-
voy sent by de la Huerta to ask rec
ognition, will ask for another con-
ference with Acting Secretary Davis
as soon as he has discussed the stu
alton with the members of his staff
who have just arrived here from
Mexico City.
eAmerican officials, ii is stated au-
thoritatively, are impressed with the
teVldent sincerity of the expressions
>of Provisional President de la Huerta
and of the efforts to bring about or
der in Mexico, but they have taken
note that the active workers in the
various departments of the Mexican
government have not been changed
and that the newly appointed cabinet
officers leave the work of their of
flcials chiefly tc the same men who
conducted the affairs under Carran-
"a.
Reports reaching Washington
from Mexico City state that foreign
ers who went to the Mexican capitol
to compose the differences between
the agricultural. mining
and manufacturing-are forced to
deal with the very men who they for
merly dealt with and in some cases
the men who conducted the confisca-
ton of their property under Carran-
"a and that they are meeting with
the same difficulties as before.
General Obregon's desire TO re-
duce the size of the army, as has
been reported in officiH and unoffi-
cial >advices from Mexico City, are
believed by officials to be sincere,
but it is noted the army has been in
creased by 10000 men as a result
Of the revolution Official reports
received here have told of efforts
that are being made TO "moralize"
the army by stopping the abuses to
life and property.
General. Salles has issued a strog
order of the plaza" on this sub
iect.
The treasury department has esti-
mated that the cost of the army at
present is one million pesos day
and Salvatore Alvarado, acting secre-
tary Of the treasury, officially an
nounced that there were eight thou
sand or ten thousand people living
on the nation by padding of pay rolls
Reports from the border today
that Villa had signed an armistice

ceived by the department.

From there she will walk to Hot
