MOVE NESTS OF.
WHITE HOUSE
BIRDS
Change in Portico Trees Brings
Disaster and Commotion.
Flowers Planted.

Several families of birds created
a commotion at the White House
today when the. annual substitution
OF fifty bay trees for a similar
number of evergreens on the east
and west terraces and around both
porticos occurred.
Every year robins build homes
in the evergreens before the trees
are removed to the White House
conservatory down near the Wash
ington Monument. Other birds also
find ideal spots for nests in the
secluded hooks where some of the
evergreens are placed, but they
came to grief today.
The White House gardeners, I'M
der the direction of Lieut.. Col c.
o. Sheriff., in charge of public
buildings and grounds, completed
the placing Of the bay trees. and
are now further embellishing the
terraces with rows Of geraniums

Louisiana has just been treated to a
rare spectacle in her political history
Never before can the old-timers re-

sneci.l Dispatch TO The star.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., November 3.>-
Early indications that there would
be three republican candidates in the
field for the United States senatorship
In South Dakota have not been borne
out by recent developments, which
point to the fact that there will be
only twe-IJnited States senator
Thomas Sterling and Gov. w H.
prices evidently paved the way for
his candidacy.
Representative Royal c. Johnson Of
the second South Dakota district now
denies he is candidate. Representa-
Is strongly republican, and 1t is ex-
pected he will seek a denomination
and reelection to the lower house.
In the first district Representative
G. A. Christopherson of Sioux Falls
still Is without republican opposition
and everything indicates that he will
be accorded denomination. The same
probably will be the case with
Representative william. Williamson,
republican. of the third district.
Conventions December 4.
The state conventions of the vari-
GUS parties In South Dakota will be
held at Pierre, the state capital,
licans and the members of other par
ties will place tickets in the field,
and these will come before the party
voters at the statewide primary elec-
ton next March.
Owing to the contest among the
republicans over the United States
senatorship, 1t Is thought majority
and Independent republican tickets
will be placed in the field at the state
proposal meeting to be held December
4. The great contest between this
time and December 4, between
Senator Sterling and Gov. McMaster
will have as it's objective the captur-
ing of the fnajoFity Endorsement for
United States senator. 1t Is likely
that the one who fails to receive the
majority indoIseYf1ent will head an
Independent ticket, which will place
the final selection OF republican
candidate for United States senator

party at the primary election In

on their editorial pages, dropped
that ticket last week without COM

considerable speculation. The Times
was first with this ticket printing
and with laudatory remarks about
Mr.. Davis in connection with the
Presidency. McAdoo unquestionably
has a strong following in West vir-
ginia and while sentiment for him
has been deferring outwardly to the
boom for native son, 1t would not
be surprising If this policy Of re-
preston changes later to open ad-
vocacy.
For a time Senator Chiffon and
his Charleston Gazette heaped COM
pliments on Mr.. McAdoo and studi-
ously refrained from any mentioning

several responsible positions in the

There is reliable Information here
that Howard NJ. Gore, chief assistant

Agriculture, has practically decided
to enter the republican primary for
governor as an Independent. and that
Col. Joseph H. McDermott of Nor
gantown, former president Of the
state senate and campaign manager

ly disposed. The outlook Is for a
