LBAGUEISDARK HORSE IN SOUTH DAKOTA BATTLE Difficult to Predict What Effect Nonpartisans Will Have On Primaries THREE PARTIES IN FIELD Democrats, Republicans and So- cialists Will Have Candi- dates for Nomination Sioux Falls, S..D, May 13.—With the state-wide party primaries less than a month distant—May 28—“poli- tics” in South Dakota is developing slowly.’ ‘War activities are holding the attention of the peopie of the state , to ‘the exclusion of political cam- paigns, it appears, and the war atti- tude of the various candidates for state and congressional offices, whose names will be before the voters in the primary for nomination, presents the: paramount issue. League is Dark Horce. The “dark horse” In the South Da- kota elections this year is the Nun- partisan league. Although no defin- ite‘information can be obtained as to the strength of the league or its plans for ‘the election, its ‘organizers have been extending its influence into ev- ery section and they predict that the league will gain control of the siate must as it did in North Dakota. No league ticket was filed for the primary but it is understood that a ticket will be entered in the general election in November. It has been in- dicated that the league might endorse some candidates for the republican or democratic partiés who are favorable to the league and throw the support: of the league behind them in Novem- ber. | Their big effort however, is ex- pected to be concentrated on the legis- lature. Three Parties in Primaries. The republican, democratic and so- cialist parties will be represented in the primary. Only two contests—for the senatorial nomination and the congressional nomination in the sec- ond district—have developed in the democratic party. Practically a com- plete ticket has been entered by the socialist party with none of the posi- tions contested. Thomas Sterling, United States sen- ator has entered the republican priin- ary, for renomination, opposed by former governor Frank M. Byrne, Sen- ator Sterling announced recently that he would not return to ‘South Dakota for a campaign in view of the national emergency hut would seek reelection ‘on his record. Three candidates have filed pett- tions for the democratic senatoriat nomination—James Coffey of Aber- déén, internal revenue collector; John BE. Kelley, of Coleman, and Orville V. Rhinehart, of Rapid ‘City; John C. Knapp, of Sisseton, the socialist can- didate for the senate is unopposed. Congressional Rase. A three-cornered race for the first » .congressional district nomination ha» developed in the republican’ party with C. A. Christopherson ‘and T. W. Dwight, both of Sioux Falls, opposing GC. H. Dillion, incumbent, Robert’ D. Dowdell; of ‘Artesian, is the democratic nominee. In the second district Donald Mc- Lean ‘has entered the field against “Sergeant’ Royal C. Johnson, repub- lican, incumbent, who several months ago’ left his seat in congress to join the/army. Although Johnson has not returned to South Dakota a nominat-| ing petition was filed, entering his gandidacy. ‘Upon enlisting as a pri- vate, he announced his belief that gov- ernment officers should be allowed to hold ‘their posts while in the army. Representative Johnson attended the third officers’ training camp and has returned to his regiment to awaitas- signment. Walter G. Jacobs, of Aber- deen and James W. McCarter, o> howville, are the aspirants for the democratic nomination in ihe second district. Harry P. Atwater, of Sturgis, the only republican candidate in the third congressional district will run against Representative Harry L. Gandy, dem- ocrat in the general elections. ‘O. F. Carlson, Lesterville; first dis- trict; E. Francis Atwood of Sisseton, for the second district; and J. E. Bas- ford, Philip, for the third district are the socialist nominees for congress. Governor Peter ‘Norbeck. republican is unopposed in the primary, and:will make the race in the fall ‘election against James HP .Bird, of Watertown, the democratic nominée:Governor Noroeck’s supporters point to. his war’ record as an argument for his re-election.

BY LIEUTENANT GRANVILEE A. POLLOCK American Aviator in the Lafayette Flying Corps of the French Foreign Legion : (Copyright, 1918, by the Newspaper Enterprise Association) ll never forget the time I got lost in the clouds. I not only missed my squadron, but it seemed as if tae whole earth had given me the slip. 1-was out protecting a photograph: ing reconnaisance. The six of us, the big. two-seater with the camera (fixed Vickers gun for the pilot and twin Lewis gun for the photographer) and five single- seater protecting chasses, spread out in V-formation, had no sooner .reach- ed the lines, when we slid over a bunch of billowy clouds that were sweeping down from the nortseast. Our mission was an important one, so the “biplane” kept grimly on. It was our duty just to follow and, shoot down an Fokkers or, Albatrosses that might try to get our $5,000. “vest pocket” camera (five feet from lens to ground glass), at that,time one of the only two of its kind in’ France. We were up 3,800 meters. The cloud layer was below us at the 2,500 meter level. Those confound ed pictures had to be taken ‘at all And we were escorting quite a famous observer-pho- tographer, Lieutenant Geo: late of the Chasseurs d’Alpin, or “Blue Dey- ils.” Never mind if the hoches do get the pilots in the chasse planes— the camera must be saved. The clouds were between us and} the earth. 9 down into them the leader plunged.. And down the same way went the r of us. It was a par- ticularly ‘thick blanket, and when we emerged out of the buttom of. it we were almost exactly over Handzeeme, | which welcomed us with a furious A-| A “good Morning’ (anti-aircraft bar- rage). We made a grand target,-only (0 meters up and sharply silhouet ed against the clouds. In spite of the encircling “Archies” the photographer made a few expos: ures and then, the fog getting uncom- fortably close again, he led us back into the clouds.
