lican nominee for governor. Lieut..
Gov. Carl Gunderson, is reckoned to
have an excellent chance of being
elected. He is very popular. The
race for United States Senator is
different story, as they tell it here.
Gov. McMaster, the Republican nom-
inee, is contesting with seven other
candidates. one of whom is the Demo-
cratic nominee, U. S. G. Cherry, and
the others representing various inde-
pendent factions, including the
Farmer-LAbor party and the Nom
Partisan League. The Democrats fig
ure that with their opponents so
widely divided. they can win with
Cherry. Gov. McMaster's Administered
tion has been criticized, too. On the
other hand, the governor has tackled
the high price of gasoline, and using
State funds has bought and sold
great quantities Of gasoline at prices
which started cents below the price
at the private filling stations. This
won him the friendship of many users
Of gasoline. He is threatening to
tackle the coal prices also. While this
has made him supporters among con-
sumers. it has alienated some of the
Republicans engaged in business in

in the Republican column largely be-
cause the people here have gone half
way to meet the NonPartisan
Leaguers.
Back in 1912 the Republican party
in the State. with few exceptions,
went over body and soul to the Bull
Moose. The supporters of Roosevelt
didn't even bother to name independ-
ent eiectors-they just took over the
Republican list, knowing that they
would cast the vote of the State for
Roosevelt Further back still, in
1896, a fusion Of the Populists and
the Democrats carried the State by
small margin for William Jennings
Bryan. Four years ago the State
gave a very large vote for Harding.
1t must be remembered that in South
Dakota, as in other neighboring
States, there is a big German Amer
lean population, as well as Scandi-
navian. These people voted as a
body almost for Harding four years
ago. And this year many of them
are going to vote for La Toilette.

The farmers blame their sufferings'
in recent years on the dehation
brought about by the Federal Reserve
banks. They lay the deflation to the
door first Of the Democratic party,
since the deflation began in 1920,
then more largely to the Republicans,
who continued the defiation, and now
particularly to the Republican State
government, which they insist could
have saved some of the banks which
went to the wall in the last part of
1928 and in the first part of the pres

publican State campaign opening here
Saturday. is expected to come on a
day earlier for the funeral.
Messages of sympathy have been
received from President Coolidge and
Secretary Hughes by Mrs. Sawyer.
The message from President Coolidge
read:
The news of your husbands death
just reached US. I need not tell you
the shock ii caused. Mrs. Coolidge
joins me in expressing the deepest
sympathy to you and your family in
your loss. Gen. Sawyers life was
iesson of faithfulness and service III

Dr. Sawyer died peacefully while
sleeping. Returning to his home at
White Oak Farm here, yesterday
afternoon, he complained of illness,
and his son. DIR. Carl w. Sawyer. took
him into his Office while he went for
medicine. He was dead when his son
returned.
Mrs. Florence King Harding, widow
of the late President, has been max
ing her home with the Sawyers since
her husbands death, and was present
when death came. Under circum-
stances similar to the death of Mr..
Harding, Mrs. Harding watched by
the bedside of her friend and ply
sician.
Slightly more than year had
elapsed since DR.. Sawyer stood be-
side the late Presidents bedside in
San Francisco hotel and watched
while he passed on. He had been
with Mr.. Harding since shortly after
his nomination for the presidency,
and was one of his closest friends.
Born near Wyandot, Ohio. 81 years
ago. DR.. Sawyer obtained a practical
education in the village school at
Nevada. He began the study of medi-
cine at the age of II. and was grad
uated from the Cleveland Homeo-
pathic Hospital College of Cleveland
in 1881. He began his practice at
Larue in April of the same year.
His widow and son survive.

COOLIDGE SENDS MESSAGE.

Immediately upon receiving word
Yesterday afternoon of the sudden
death of Brig. Gen. Charles Z. Saw
yer President Coolidge sent mes
sage of sympathy and coincidence to
Mrs Sawyer. The President held
this prominent medical man, who was
the family physician for SO many
years of the Harding family and who
was the White House physician up
until last summer. in high esteem.
During his services at the White
House and in the War Department
and as head of the veterans hospit-
alization board an intimate aSSocia-
tion developed between the President
and Gen. Sawyer. and it was with re-
gret that the former accepted DR..
Sawyer's resignation. DR.. Sawyer ex-
planned to the President that he had
worked very hard since coming to
Washington and he wanted to retire
to Marion, where he could be less
active. Also he was anxious to be
close to Mrs. Harding, whom he ras
close to Mrs. Harding, whom he has
not been in good health for several
years.
Came Here With Harding.
Coming to Washington with Presi-
dent Harding at the beginning of his
administration, DR.. Sawyer was COM
missioned a brigadier general in the
medical service of the Army and was
given a succession of assignments.
serving both as the Presidents ply
sician and with the War Department
and Veterans Bureau.
He was for a time in charge of
the general board for the hospital
ization OF world war veterans, and
he continued his labors after PreSi-
dent Harding died through the first
part of the Coolidge administration.
One achievement which brought
widespread praise to the Marion ply
sician was his successful treatment of
Mrs. Harding during a critical illness
prior to the trip made by President
Harding to Alaska and return to
San Francisco, where he died Mrs.
Harding, who had barely recovered
when the Alaskan trip was started,
required his continuous observation
in Alaska and, to a more marked de-
gree, on her return to WaShin gton
with the body of her husband.
Gen. Sawyer also cared for Presi-
dent Harding's health during the
Alaskan trip, and personally attended
him when the first evidences of his
fatal illness were noticed, treating
him practically without aid until he
was taken to the hotel in San Fran
cisco, where the services of other ex-
pert medical men could be obtained.
President Coolidge retained DR..
Sawyer as his personal physician
when he took over the Office of the
President Later. however, DR.. Saw
yer extended his work under the
Veterans Bureau and was given
charge of the station at Perryville,
Md, but more recently was placed
on the inactive list of the Army at his
own request in order that he might
give undivided attention to the affairs
of veteran treatment for the Govern
ment and the Harding Memorial.

FOOD HARD FOR
BIRDS To FIND
Director Suggests Persons
Help Feed Them,

If the weather mans prediction
for snow in Indiana within the next
few days comes true, and he Is gen
orally reliable, then the wild fea-
thered life is going to be up against
it for food providing the people don't
feed them, according to George n.
Mannfeld. director of fish and game
division, State conservation depart
ment
The most important factors in the
conservation Of quail and other birds
are shelter and food Of the right sort
in winter When the ground is
blanketed with an icy mantle. they
are truly up against losing game
and will starve unless mankind helps.
Manifold suggests that a few
handfuls Of grain be scattered about
places where birds are known to
seek sanctuary. Location Of wild
bird life in winter is not difficult,
and probably every farmer Of the
State who has quail on mis- land
knows exactly the location Of their
winter quarters. Crumbs from the
table are fine for this use. and suet,
if tied down or placed under a wire
of small mesh to prevent animals
frog carrying it off, makes an ad-
mirabe winter diet for birds. The
birds also should have grit to help
them digest their food; also water
occasionally. Place small piles Of
gravel near the feeding stations.
