To that end this great $20,000 everybody wins something automobile and Cash distribution was inaugurated the evening Republican determined to make the big Effort to take the big Chance. There was and there is nothing gained by sitting still. Nothing comes to him who sits and we aits. Erection of the evening republicans new press which will be completed about september 30 is going steadily Forward and with other improvements the evening Republican will be in a Fine position to serve the Public. It was because of this that the evening Senate fight on Board foreseen Norbeck and Brookhart expected to Grill Legge on wheat actions Washington d. C., sept. 21.�? up every user affected evening Republican Bureau. The Albee building Washington d. Washington d. C., sept. 21�?the Senate Commerce committee will meet soon in executive session to discuss a Bill which affects every household and business in South Dakota More directly an concretely than any other proposal now be for Congress. This is the Couzens us to revise Federal regulation of a communication and this Bill Means much to every housewife every Man who pays an electricity Bill and everyone who uses the Telephone Telegraph or radio. Finally it touches cities now dealing with private sources of water Supply. Would create a control the committee comes to grips with the problem of establishing a commission on communication and Power which will regulate those utilities in the Way the interstate i Commerce commission now deals with the railroads. One heeds Only to look at the Railroad situation in South Dakota As compared with that in the years before the nineties to gain some idea of what rigid Federal supervision will mean to private Power companies in the state.

D., sept. Tons or about 12.500 tons displace-21�?1 special a funeral services will ment without limitation of any kind As to the size of the guns that might be mounted on them. At the Tim the treaty was negotiated and even at the time of he Washington arms conference in 1921, the general naval thought of the world apparently was that an eight Inch gun was about the largest that could be placed on 10,000 ton ships without sacrificing Speed cruising radius and defensive Armor. P mystery ship while comparatively Little is known about the new German Craft by the other navies it is the German claim that its new design is entirely practical. If such is the be held at Yankton sunday for Francis m. Ziebach Pioneer resident of South Dakota who passed away Friday morning in Wessington Springs at the Home of his son j. E Ziebach. Or. Ziebach was born in Union county Pennsylvania on november 23, 1830, and when a Young Man came West As far As Sioux City la. Upon the organization of the territory of Dakota or. Ziebach who had a printing office moved his Plant to Yankton the territorial capital. Here the first Issue of the Dakotan now the press and Dakotan was published june 6, 1861, this being the first paper published the new territory. Case it has made a big Advance in Mong the More important pub warship design and one that May make the nation a Factor in future capital ship limitation conferences. The six 11-Inch guns of the German Craft Are mounted in three a i Mored turrets two Forward and one aft. Admittedly this ship would be i far Superior to the 10,008 ton 8 positions or. Ziebach held were mayor member of the Board of education and receiver of the u. S. Land office at Sioux City la., a member of the twelfth and fifteenth legislature Captain of company a Dakota militia organized in 1862 receiver of the u. S. Land office at this is important it begins to look like the evening republicans idea was somewhat advanced. There Are too Many apparently who Are afraid to fight to carry on toward a definite object. There Are too Many who Are Content to cry and do nothing. So in spite of the fact that the evening Republican has purchased the big handsome speedy luxurious sedans and set aside thousands of dollars in Cash in addition to be awarded in this extraordinary everybody wins something distribution candidates have been slow to get Busy after they a in. Just Why is it nine automobiles the nine big automobiles and All the thousands of dollars Are to be awarded just As announced. But it would seem that More people who Are just As live As people in other communities just As wide awake certainly just As intelligent would realize the Opportunity for profit before it is too late. What is the matter a a it a the times a says one Man. No it is not the times. Conditions Are As they Are and they Are the same for everyone. The $20,-000, including the nine cars and Cash will positively be awarded. It makes no difference what the times Are. The a a times do not win for you.

The liveliest contest of All undoubtedly will be Between chairman Legge and senator Brookhart of Iowa since friends of both men Are passing out the word that they Are fortifying themselves with a mass of information in the Hope of insuring themselves against being / Brookhart to appear senator Brookhart is not a member of the committee but he will be permitted to question Board members. So far he is toe Only senator not a committee member who has asked chairman Mcnary for this privilege. The committee itself however is Well supplied with senators closely in touch with the intricacies of agriculture. # at present it appears As if the examination will Center in questions designed to develop what the Board has in mind for wheat and indications re that several senators will demand reasons for the boards declination to stabilize this product by Market operations. Committee members principally interested in the wheat program of the Board include senators Norris of Nebraska a relentless questioner. Norbeck of South Dakota Frazier of North Dakota and capper of Kansas. The committee also includes several senators from the Cotton producing states from whom there have been some rumblings that president Hoover failed to name a Board member from a leading Cotton producing Section. Legge is target the hearings will be conducted for two hours each morning since most of the interest is focused on chairman , fairly rapid Progress is expected to be made once the chairman has finished his testimony. Senator Mcnary has received several written complaints against some of the Board members. These will be predated to the committee at an executive session and probably will not be made Public unless the committee decides to investigate them. Some of the complaints Deal with business policies of the International Harvester company of which or. Legge was the head until his appointment to the farm Board. Hoover tto give Sinclair Freedom Washington d. C., sept. 21�? president Hoover will not commute the sentence of Harry f. Sinclair or Henry Mason Day who Are serving terms in the District of Columbia jail for contempt of court arising from the shadowing of the fall Sinclair jury. This was announced today at the White House where it was said or. Hoover would follow the recommendation of attorney general Mitchell that the chief executive not interfere. The applications of Sinclair and Day were received from the department of Justice last night with this recommendation attached. Current etc., the government reserved the right to regulate rates service and profits and to withdraw such privileges when it desired. To be powerful Agency the new commission which this Bill sets up will therefore be one of the most powerful agencies of the government. Under its supervision will come All Telephone and Telegraph lines All Hydro electric plants All interstate companies engaging in Power distribution radio broadcasters water plants. It will eliminate the Federal Power commission and the radio commission except As an appellate body and take Over Telephone and Telegraph regulation from the interstate Commerce commission. In the course of supervision the commission must naturally be limited in some respects. It is about this question that the chief controversy in the hearings and on the floor will rage. Primary among these is the regulation of rates to be charged in one state by a Power company generating Power in another state. Another Maing fighting Point will be on the matter of valuation of Power companies both for purposes of making rates and for valuing the company when the government leases expire. Still others Are the issuance of securities control of Stock in one company by another and the extent to which the commission May take cases out of the hands of the state commission. Of Victory predicted by Mark Sullivan Washington d. C., sept. 21�?the reality about the Tariff Bill in the Senate will be found in two conditions easy to grasp. One is a very simple computation in arithmetic. The other lies in the position of two very Small groups of senators whose votes will determine the outcome. The arithmetic is that the regular Republican leaders in the Senate have command of exactly forty three senators. The opposition to them consists of thirty nine democrats twelve mid Western progressive Republican senators and one Farmer labor senator. The opposition makes fifty two in All. It takes forty eight to pass the Bill. Therefore the republicans must get five democrats. The process of getting the five democrats is now in under Way. At least the attempt is under Way. Those five democrats must be won. The process of getting them consists in letting them have duties wanted by their states if they will a come across and vote for the Bill. The process is not being carried out mainly by the Republican Senate leaders. All the Republican Senate leaders Are doing or need to do is to let the five democrats realize the situation. A holding out bait the hardest thing anyone could say about the Republican Senate leaders is that they Are in the political phrase a holding out the pressure on the five democrats is not being put by the Republican leaders at Washington the pressure is coming from behind. It is coming from their own states. It is certain interests chiefly manufacturing in the Southern states that Are to use another political phrase a holding the five democrats with their feet to the the nature of the pressure on the five democrats is made Clear by certain passages from the latest number of the manufacturers record published in Baltimore As an Organ of Southern interests. Some sentences from several broadsides in toe latest Issue of the manufacturers record head As follow a How Many Southern senators have fought for a protective Tariff on manganese on Bauxite on clays on Cotton on jute and other products of the South will Southern senators stand by their own Section and join with the republicans in passing a Well rounded protective Tariff Bill if they Are built of statesmanlike Timber they will use this Opportunity to give to the South by a combination with protectionists from other sections every no pledges made this broadside used the phrase a a few the actual number needed by the republicans is five. Gossip in Washington frequently mentions the particular five upon whom the pressure is strongest. Gossip however is the Only basis for naming them. None of them so far As is known has promised to yield. Certainly none of them has promised publicly. Center of interest in yearly fall festival to be in show or.

Livingston took off from Sioux Falls where he had participated in the air fair there bound for Rickenbacker Field Sioux City and after he failed to arrive at the Airport Here several hours later officials both Here and in Sioux Falls began a search for him. Livingston notified Airport officials Here by Telephone that he had landed at Lakeview. Minnesota0 Bank robbed of $8,000 Ivanhoe minn., sept. 21�?0p>�? two bandits held up the Farmers and merchants National Bank of Ivanhoe late yesterday and fled with approximately $8,000 in Cash. The bandits both apparently about 25, herded five occupants of the Bank into the vault before they fled from the town in a Small touring car. They failed to close the vault door fully before departing and the alarm was quickly spread. Ivanhoe is a town of about 700 inhabitants in southwestern Minnesota about to Miles from the South Dakota state line. Police to hold All stray dogs for three Days shooting stirs protests because Many of the people of Mitchell showed grave concern Over the killing of dogs by the police department chief a. L. Kirkpatrick announced today that no valuable dogs or dogs whom owners were willing to claim were being taken. A the Law provides that the police shall hold the stray dogs for three Days before taking any action a the chief declared Quot and so far the police have not shot any dogs that anyone would want to claim or that were thought to Only the final voting on the Bill will reveal their position. Bearing in mind that the gossip is necessarily guess work and May be wrong two of the democratic senators occasionally named Are the two from Florida. For them inducement would be a satisfactory duty on cigars manganese kaolin Clay and fruits and vegetables. Gossip also deals with the two senators from Louisiana. For them a presumable inducement would be a High duty on sugar. The democratic leaders in the Senate claim valiantly that the democrats will be solid for opposing the Bill. The largest number of possible defections Ever admitted by the democratic leaders is three. As to that the precedent is that in every preceding Republican revision of the Tariff the republicans have been Able to get the number of democrats they needed. In any event the picture presented Here is the Rock Bottom reality of the Tariff situation. It will remain the reality to the end and will not be modified by the thousands of words that Wii be spoken on the Senate floor every Day.
