of the political complexion of the

as il was expected that the Nonpzr-

increased over that of the last ses-

there has been a decrease Appar-

Their house membership will not eX-

from Aurora and one from Hanson.
TWO or three from Roberts as the un-
official county returns show a tie on
one Legislative place. and il the off,

OPERATION
SOUTH DAkOTAS MAY NOW BE
ABLE To WALK.

Beresford, Nov. 17.-An unusual
operation was performed on Mike o.
Connor. of this city, and as a result
he is expected TO largely regain his
strength.
For some ime he has been suffer
ing from creeping paralysis. which
affected his powers of locomotfon to
such an extent that he was confined
TO his bed. II finally was decided to
take him to hospital. where the un-
usual operation was performed upon
him.
This was the removal of the pos
terror portion of the lower vertebrae.
leaving the anterior part for the con-
tact and to carry the load the back
bone is calculated TO carry.
By means of this unique operation
the pressure upon the spinal cord
was removed. and the surgeons no
ticed renewed evidences of life at
once. O'Connor, who is only 81 years
of age, was thrown from a horse
some months ago. and since last July,
as a result of the injury sustained
b ythe fall. has been an invalid the
greater part of the time
His injury eliminated in the COM

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
IN SWEDEN DARK
COUNTRY FLOODED WITH AMER.
ICAN AND ENGLISH GOODS
AFTER BLOCKADE LIFTED.

Stockholm, Nov 17.-Prospects
for the coming winter are regarded
by many Swedish business men as
anything but bright at present.
After the war blockade was lifted.
the country became flooded with
American and English produce. chief
ly textiles, foodstuffs and automo-
biies- As a result the dollar rate
scared from $50 kroner to nearly s.
The importation of foreign food
stuffs soon ceased. but textiles and
automobiles are still pouring into the
country at such rate that an EN-
barge upon their importation is be-
ing seriously considered
The overflow has thrown thous-
ands of Swedish workers out of EN-
ployment The great mills at Norr-
koping and Boras have been working
only four days weekly since August
and they are now preparing a general
dismissal of their employees
High wages. and the operation of
the eight-hour day, which has been
in force here for year. are blamed
in some quarters for this state of af-
fairs.
Swedish manufacturers. especially
of iron and steel. are no longer able
TO compete with the foreign made ar
ticIes- For a time plants have been
accommodating stocks. but signs
abound that this has reached it's lin
its. A strike in the building trade
has lasted for nearly year and the
housing problem has become so acute
that TO rent a flat in Stockholm or in
any of the big Swedish centers is well
nigh impossible.
With all this. the workers con-
tinue agitating for still higher wages
and shorter hours The elections last
September resulted in disapproyal of

CANDY MAY
CONTEST WINNER
WOULD UNSEAT WILLIAMSON.
COSGRESSMAy-EI

Sioux Falls. Nov 17-It lis an
nounced from an apparently reliable
source at Rapid City, the home of
Congressman Harry L Candy, dem
ocrat. that Mr. Candy is likely TO in
stitute contest against Judge VII
hanson. of Oacoma. republican. who
defeated him at the election this
month.
Ii is said the contest. if instituted.
will be based on a section of the state
constitution. which provides that no
Judge of the supreme or circuit court
shall be elected 20 any other than a
judicial office. or De eligible thereto,
during the term for which he was
elected such Judge The section fur
Their provides that all votes cast for
them during Such term for any cleo
tive office except that of Judge of the
supreme court, circuit or county
court. circuit or county court. given
by the legislature OF the people. shall
be void.
The republicans were aware of this
provision during the campaign. and
expected Candy and his democratic
supporters 10 raise the question, but
for some reason the democrats of the
district did not raise the question Of
Judge WiIIiamson's eligibility to the
office of congressman.
Even should a contest be institut-
ed. the republicans have no doubt of
the outcome. Basing their belief
that Judge Williamson will be seated
on the fact that the house of repre-
sentatiyes is, under the federal con-
stitution. its own judge of the cleo
tion and eligibility of it's members.
The further fact that the committee
on elections. which would pass on the
eligibility Of Judge Williamson. is
composed of eight republicans and
five democrats.
