RACE is SPECTACULAR

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., August IL
The presence in the field of Miss
Alice Lorraine Daily. who was nomi-
mated for the Office Of Governor OF
South Dakota by the South Dakota
branch of the National Farmers Nom
partisan League, furnishes one of the
spectacular, features of this. year
campaign in South Dakota Miss
Daily is credited with being a good
speaker. Several years ago she be-
gan making addresses in different
parts of the state.
A favorite campaign plan of the
non-partisan league is to have pic
MICS held at points in the farming
communities, which are attended by
hundreds of farmers and members Oh
their families. and at these Miss DAILY
invariably is the chief speaker.
Miss Daily first attracted stssae-
wide attention hre or SIX years ago
v hen she was teacher in the state
Normal School at Madison, S. ID. Her
views were deemed too radical by
members of the state board OF re-
gents. and, after extended corre-
spondence between herself and mem
bers of the board. Miss DAILY resign
ed. paying her respects to the mem
bers of the board of regents in a let
ter which attracted the attention OF
the entire state.
Active in 1920 Campaign.
In the campaign of 1920 she took
the field and did effective work In
behalf Of the league. She is the nfst
woman ever nominated for the once
of governor in South Dakota or any
OF the other northwestern states.
Since Miss DAILY opened her present
campaign she has had several clashes
with state leaders, including Louis
" Grill, democratic nominee for gov
ernor. and +. Z. Kleinsasser. who was
nominated with her on the non-par-
tisan league ticket for the office OF
lieutenant governor.
The democrats since the opening
of their campaign have been STRIVING
to induce the non-partisan league 70
withdraw it's candidates for governor
and lieutenant governor SO the non
partisan league vote could be united
with that of the democrats in an
effort to wrest South Dakota from
the republicans at the election next
November
Rejects Democratic Overtures.
These efforts succeeded to the ex-
tent of securing the withdrawal from
the league ticket of Mr.. hIelnsaSser' >
but Miss Daily rejected the demo-
cratic overtures for her retirement IN
a public announcement which was
noted for the manner in which 1t
took off the hide of Mr.. Grill and
other democrats associated with him
in the alleged effort to swallow"
the South Dakota branch OF the non
partisan league. Miss Daily also at
tackled Mr. Kleinsass sser in very severe
terms for being a traitor to his party
at the opening of an important cam
paign.
The stand of Miss DAILY. in the
opinion of the state leaders of the
league. will serve to: unite the mem
bers of the league in her support
and will prevent any OF the league
members from straying into the
democratic fold at the election in No
vember.
AS the result of her clash with Mr..
Grill. Miss Daily has challenged the
democratic nominee for governor to
a series of ten joint debates. in ten
of the leading cities of South Dakota.
on the issues of the campaign. 1t Is
thought that Mr. Grill will decline to
accept the challenge.
