ELECTION IS A
QUIET AFFAIR
So-Called "Blue Laws" Lose in Oakes
Tuesday by Very Small
Margin
NO CONTEST ON ALDERMEN
Jacobs, Bronson and Scott Will Sue.
ceed Themselves

The city election passed off very
quietly last Tuesday. No interest
whatever was attached to the election
of an alderman from ea:a ward, as
no one filed in opposition to any one
of them. The only evidence Of life
shown was in the question of repeal
ing the so-called blue laws; about
which 80 much ink has !.ecn spilled
curing the past few weeks.
n. D. Jacobs, recently appointed
alderman from the first ward to sue
coed ". H. Ladd, resigned, was elect
ed to succeed himself without oppo-
sition, as were also ]. D. Scott in the
third ward and S. P. Bronson in the
second. These men have made good
officials during their term Of Office
and no opposition developed.
s. A. Reko was reelected as park
commissioner for five years, succeed
ing himself, and j. E. Bunday won
out over several contestants as men,
Der of the board for one year. A num-
Der of "stickers" were used in this
case, though only one candidate, Mrs.
Maercklein, developed any particular
strength. Mrs. Maercklein received
10 votes and Mr.. Bunday II.
Hiram johnson, for president, re-
ceived total of 1913 votes in the city.
Wilson only polled one, while McAdoo
managed to scrape through with two.
Figures on the other candidates are
not available.
Gunder Olson, anti-Townley can
didate for national committeeman,
won out over the Townley man by a
majority of 1874 out of total of 1863
votes cast.
Cakes people want the state boxing
law passed, but they only said SO by
the small majority of Is. The Gig
arctic licensing law carried by
votes; Sunday base ball by 33 and
Sunday theatres by II.
This may or may not be an indi-
cation of the way the wind blows in
the state. 1t is too early at this time
to learn anything definite, and it is
not known which way the farmer
vote will go. Stormy weather kept
a great many people from attending
the polls.

ably nine cases out OF ten, simpiv evi-
dence that excessive secretion OF acid is
taking place In the stomach, causing the

Gas distends the stomach and causes
that full, oppressive. burning feeling

acid irritates and infiames the delicate
lining or the stomach. The trouble lies
entirely IN the excess development or Sc
cretion OF acid.
To stop or prevent this souring OF the

or acidity is felt. This sweetens the
stomach and neutraIlzes the acidity in
few moments and Is a perfectly harmless
and inexpensive remedy 10 use.
An antiacid, such as bisurated magne-

TRACTOR RUNS
AMUCK IN FIELD
YOUNG RANCHER THROWN FROM
MACHINE, HAS HIS LEGS
CRUSHED.

Hot Springs, April 21.-Harry
Zimmerly, rancher. living near Oel-
richs, had distressing experience
as the result of a tractor running
over him and crushing one of his legs
and leaving him helpless in a field.
The tractor then ran amuck, con-
tinuing on its way through the field.
and as there was no one to stop its
movements it kept on moving. turn
ing at intervals through contact with
obstructiohs.
The injured man was forced to
crawl a distance of a quarter of .
mile to avoid again being run over by
the tractor.
The young mans mother, from the
house, noticed the eccentric move
ments of the tractor and investigat-
ed, finding her injured son. 1t was
two hours before she could secure
assistance for him.
For five hours the tractor was
Ithreshing about the field, doing nc
further damage than to tear down q
long stretch of wire fencing, which
finally brought it to a stop.
The coupling to the plows had
broken SO the wild" tractor was
alone in its wanderings.

PLAN BILL FOR
SOLDIER RELIEF
TO BE PRESENTED BY HOUSE
LEADERS - PROVIDES FOR
SPECIAL CHANGES.

Washington, April 21.-Republi-
can house leaders tentatively agreed
to present a soldier relief measure
to the house about May 1st.
Besides carrying cash compensa-
tion, the bill will include alternative
offers of priority in land settlement
home building and extension of vo-
cational training. Two plans for ad-
justed compensation have been sub.
mitted by subcommittee of the
house ways and means committee
one granting one dollar for each
days service and the other author
izing payment of $125 a day, with
no payments for the first two months
of service. Under the latter plan,
members said, those exempted be-
cause their service was less than so
days and those serving longer would
be treated impartially. 1t is propos-
ed to begin cash payments January
LIST, 1921, continuing quarterly. A
tax on gross sales, it is said, prob
ably will be the plan adopted by the
committee to raise revenue. Demo
Gratis. however, oppose this, desir.
ing to present some legislation inn
posing further taxes on excess war
profits.
The subcommittee considering the
most adaptable method of raising
revenues to pay compensation has not
decided on any definite plan. Two
alternatives are before the commit
tee, the first a tax on the sale from
retailers to consumers, and the 9TH
er tax on all turn overs" that is
tax on each resale from the pro.
ducer to the consumer

WATERFOWL LOSES
LIGHT PLANT CASE
SOUTH DAKOTA SUPREME COURT
HOLDS ANOTHER ELECTION
NECESSARY.

Pierre, April 21.-The supreme
court reversed the trial court in the
Watertown municipal electric light
plant case. The light plant there
had been owned by a private party,
]. H. Beers The citizens becoming
with the rates, voted to
build or equip a plant owned by the
city and the firm brought action
against them, the lower court hold
ing the city could not proceed with
its municipal plant. However, the
supreme court decision reverses the
lower court, and so the city cannot
proceed with its municipal plant
without holding a new election under
the holdings of the court.
The order appealed from is revers-
ed and the trial court is directed to
issue the permanent injunction
sought unless there is definite an
swer within 20 days from filing of
the remititure.
The owner of the light plant con-
tended that the establishment of the
municipal plant would of course ruin
his business and destroy his plant
and the supreme court holding up
holds that contention.

ty was reversed in the case Of Henry

WILSON'S MEXICAN
POLICY SCORED
FORMER AMBASSADOR BITTER
IN HIS ATTACK ON PREsI-
DENTS ATTITUDE.

Washington, April 21.-While the
war department was considering the
Mexican. request to send troops
through the United States to attack
Sonora on the north, Henry Lane
Wilson, former ambassador to Mexi-
co, continued his testimony regarding
Mexican affairs before senate inves-
tigating committee.
1.-THE peculiar motives which in
duced President Wilson to adopt the
policy or rather lack of policy to-
ward Mexico during the last seven
years." he said, arises evidently from
the mental obsession that all knowl-
edge and all power rests in the execu-
tive. I believe that he came to Of
flee with the idea he,had a mandate
from the American people to reverse
all the foreign policies of his prede-
cessors."
Besides affecting Mexico, this had
worked great harm "in bringing
about the domination of Japan over
China" Mr.. Wilson said.
Discussing the peace treaty con-
troversy, the former ambassador said
"The president wrote Article X of
the treaty himself and though there
are many more important sections
than it he has caused widespread dis
favor by insisting that the whole
treaty be rejected rather than let the
senate modify that one section. AS
to Mexico, am informed that he has
already written plank on the sub
ject for the next national platform of
the democratic party, indorsing and
demanding a continuance of this
course" the witness continued. "He
cannot be ch4nged."
Anybody who supports the Mexi-
can policy of President Wilson is un-
patriotic and un-American. Eighty
per cent of Mexico's population lis
illiterate and Indian, with a distinct
division between the Indian of the
north and the southern Maya. They
have no conception of fine spun po-
litical or altruistic theory, but do
comprehend justice If it is accompan-
led by firmness."

OUTLAW SWITCH
i. \. men ARE DEFIANT
REFUSE TO VOTE AND END no
THE STRIKE.

Chicago, April 21.-The striking
railway switchmen refused to vote an
end to their outlaw strike today. A
mass meeting was called by three of
their leaders and 1000 men men left
the hall five minutes after the meet
ing had been called to order.
The failure Of John Grunau, chief
of the Chicago Yard Mems association
to appear caused a bolt. About 600
men remained in the hall. The men
who bolted remained in the streets to
jeer at those who desired to return
to work.
Grunau, who had been jailed. was
expected to be released long enough
to attend the meeting. District At
tornney Clyne said that regardless
of the switchmens action that the
strike leaders arrested would be
prosecuted.
