Leedom Leads For
United States Marsha!

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: Inter.
est in new appintees for federal
offices in South Dakota has grown
since President Harding took the
oath of office for it is known that
the day Of the democrats are nun
bered. The three offices in the
state that are attracting the mos
attention are those Of internal re
venue collector, United States mn
shall and district attorney.
For each of these offices ono
is admittedly in direct line for up
pointment, and unless some chan.
ge is made c. N. Leedom of Kad
Okla will receive the appointment
of marshal; w. 0. Knight Of Walk
onda will be revenue collector; anC
Wesley Clark of Redfeld will 50
the position of U. S. district at
tornoy.
Because of his close association
with both of the present United
Senator'S during their residences
at Redfield, Mr.. Clark is in posit-
ion to command most respect for
the legal position. c. J. Morris Of
Sioux Falls holds a great deal o.
influence over the state, but il l.
thought that the personal tie
that hold the senators TO M. Clark
will insure his appointment.
w. 0. Knight, with wide acq-
uaintanceship over the state be-
cause of his several sessions in the
state legislature, is practically as
sured of the appointment to reve-
nue. collector. At the present
time Mr.. Knight is practicing law.
c. NJ Leedom is thought to have
the inside track for the appoint
ment to the office of U. S. marsh
al. c. H. Engelesby was backed
by the American Legion in his ef-
forts to land the plum. but it is
thought the fact that Col. Engels-
by has been estranged from the
administration branch Of the Re-
publican party since his return
from the army will prevent him
from getting the position.
