CONGRESSIONAL
DEADLOCK ENDS
GILLETT ELECTED SPEAKER
THREE DAYS BALLOTING
MESSAGE TODAY

Washington, Dec 5.-Frederick
IL. Gillett of Massachusetts,, was re-
elected speaker of the house We'd
nesday when the republican insurg-
ents voted for him for the first time
since a deadlock developed Monday.
Whether the insurgent group would
make Organization of the house pos
sible by supporting Speaker Gillett
for reelection on the first ballot
Wednesday was to depend on the
attitude of Mr.. Longworth on the
floor toward them.
Concessions Made
The break came on the first bal
lot Wednesday, the ninth being taken
for speaker since Monday noon.
From the outset the insurgents had
been casting II votes for Cooper of
Wisconsin, one of their leaders, and
five for Madden of Illinois.
The reelection of Mr.. Gillett com
pleted organization of the sixty
eighth congress and paved the way
for President Coolidge to deliver his
nfSJ message TO JOINT session OF
the house and senate, which he will
do Thursday.
The insurgents decided to aband-
on their fight after they has been as
sured by Representative Longworth
of Ohio, the republican leader, that
would be afforded later
to freely offer amendments to the
house rules. From the start the in
surgent group has maintained that
its real fight was for a rules revision.
On the final ballot Gillett received
215 votes. Representative Garrett
Of Tennessee, the democratic candi-
late, had 1877 and two voted for Rep
-esentative Madden. Gillette had a
majority of seven votes.

BUY YOUR QUOTA OF
CHRISTMAS SEALS

The annual sale of Christmas seals
is now on. AS most everyone knows
these little stamps are put out by
the Anti-tuberculosis association and
the money received is devoted to
combating the Great White Plague.
A special drive will be made on
Thursday, Dec. 13, when the city will
be covered by volunteer solicitors.
The Woman's Club has charge of the
sale and Mrs. j. L. Davey is manag-
ing the special drive and requests
that those willing to volunteer their
services report to her.
A few dollars or few cents, as
different individuals can afford, in
vested in Christmas seals, is a con-
tribution to a valuable public serv-
ice and contributes to the large sum
required to carry on a successful
fight against tuberculosis, the com
mon enemy of all.
AS a result Of the sales in former
years, this county has received di-
rect benefit through the work of a
nurse who spent about six weeks in
the county about a year ago. AS
result of the survey she made, many
were taken to a physician
or dentist to have tonsils, adenoids
and defective teeth attended to. In
McCone county they followed up the
survey by a clinic at which children
were operated Dn.

SO. OAK. DECLARES
HER PREFERENCE
REPUBLICANS FOR COOLIDGE
AND DEMOCRATS
FAVOR McADOO

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 5.=President
Calvin Coolidge Tuesday night was
given the majority nomination for
the presidential primary by the So.
Dakota convention, winning over
Senator Hiram Johnson of California
by vote of 50,379 to 27,340. Later
on rising vote, the endorsement
was made unanimous for Coolidge
Coolidge and johnson were the only
names before the convention.
Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas
was unanimously endorsed for vice
president.
Back McAdoo Platform
A platform framed by supporters
of William G. McAdoo was unani-
mously approved Tuesday by the
democrats of the state.
Following the rout of the Ford
democrats by a vote of 7,434 to IT.
661, on attempted amalgamation of
the democrats and farmer-labor con-
ventions the democrats built the plat
form with a unanimous vote on every
declaration.
"Reduce taxes, restore agricultur-
al prosperity, preserve world peace"
was approved as the summary of
principles. Agricultural relief was
designated as the most important
problem before the nation.
Prohibition was treated with dec
laration that the party Stands for
the strict enforcement of the Vol
stead act and all state and local leg
islation enacted under the eighteenth
amendment"
S. D. Primary Plan
The state of South Dakota has a
presidential primary law that is a
sort of cross between the old politi
cal convention system and the mod
ern primary system. They hold pri-
mary elections to elect delegates to
state conventions. These delegates
have the same number of votes in the |
that was cast for them
in their party primaries, but the con-
vention does the nominating and
elects delegates to the party presi
Dental conventions. They also NOM
mate candidates for senators and
to run at the next No
1ember election. The law provides
hat these party conventions shall
meet nearly year before the next
election. Therefore the recent con-
yention election in South Dakota has
FAMED the first delegates to be elect
ID to the presidential nominating
of the three organized
PARTIES in South Dakota. These are
he democratic, republican and the
armer-labor parties.

notable Minnesota, North Dakota
and on west, have many cases Of
actual Distress" The Chief Execu
tive believes that diversifcation Of
crops is necessary because "the dis
tress is most acute among those
wholly dependent upon one crop. He
objects to the permanent interference
of the government in the problem
of exporting wheat and indicated
that farmers must not expect un-
stinted financial assistance from the
public treasury or a government plan
for fixing wheat prices.
Lower Taxes and Freight
The remedy, in the opinion of the
President, remains with the farmer.
AS to relief measures for agriculture
Mr.. Coolidge expressed the view that
indirectly the farmer must be re-
lieved by reduction of national and
local taxation. He must be assisted
by the reorganization of the freight
rate structure which could reduce
charges on his production. To make
this fully effective there ought to be
railroad consultations. Cheaper
fertilizers must be provided"
1t was the suggestion of the Presi-
dent that the condition of the farmer
would be ameliorated through more
intensive organization, extension Of
courses in theory of organization and
cooperative marketing at agricul-
tural schools, diversifcation of crops
and government assistance to ex-
ports through the War Finance Corr
poration when fats and grains are
exported for the direct benefit of
the farm" It is believed that the
President placed emphasis on this
last point because of the agitation
by the packers and other interested
parties in Fastening government aid
to Germany.
Against Tariff Revision

ON proposals contemplating revision
Of the tariff. He declared that the |

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
in CONDENSED FORM
By WILLIAM L. DALEY
National Editorial Association Spec
ial to The Herald

Washington, Dec. 6.-President
| Coolidge's first annual message to
Congress was delivered in unequiv-
ocal terms. Even his most severe
! critics admit that no strained in
depreciation is needed to ascertain
the Chief Executives position on
current, political and economic is
sues. The fact that Mr.. Coolidge
showed no apprehension in drawing
the fire of formidable legislative
blocs has apparently revived the
waning faith in his forcefulness and
leadership.
Positive Attitude
Condensing his pithy message of
five thousand words into a few para
graphs, the conclusion is inescapable
that the new President has emerged
from his shell of cautious inactivity
Political observers are generally
agreed that Mr.. Coolidge has defined
his views on controversial questions
in manner which admits no doubt.
Characteristically practicing strict
economy in the use of words, the
President declared that he is opposed
to the granting of a bonus, favors
the Mellon plan of tax reduction and
approves World Court, provided it
is divorced from the League of Ma
tions. He made it clear that the
farmers should make a more deter
mined effort to work out their own
salvation rather than project them
selves into the arms of the Nation as
a whole, as suuplicants for Federal
aims or subsidy. Mr.. Coolidge de-
Tended the budget system and threw
down the challenge to those propos-
ing to restore the "pork-barreT sys-
,em of appropriations.
Agricultural Views
Nobody questions the fact that the
President has made himself decided
Y unpopular with the legislative
,lique known as the agricultural
,loc." He pointed out to Congress
hat "for the most part agriculture
s successful, eelven staples having
ism in value from about S5,3OO,OOO-
100 two years ago to about $1,000
100000 for the current year. But
