J* OPPOSITION IN PANIC Sioux Falls, S. D., May 16.—Evident ly realizing that nothing- can turn the voters of South Dakota from their purpose to place George W. Egan, the [popular candidate for Governor, of South Dakota, in the governor's chair, the political bosses in South Dakota »re in a veritable panic, and are re Borting to all unscrupulous means at their disposal to becloud the Issues of Ithe present primary campaign and in jjure the standing of George W. Egan, the peoples' champion, with the voters }f South Dakota. The bosses have brought to their aid [all Influences which from selfish per sonal motives favor the retention of [machine and factional rule in the [state, and all the heavyweights in the [speaking division have been put to the front in a vain endeavor to mini mize the effects of Mr. Egan's ad dresses through the state and thus to stem the steadily rising tide of Egan sentiment. The efforts of the bosses, needless to say, to retain their piratical grasp on the grand young state of' South Dakota will avail them naught. Geo* W. Egan, in the face of the disgrace ful fight made against him by the bosses and their self-seeking allies, is many times stronger with the plain people of South Dakota than he was thirty days ago. At the primary elec tion on June 4 he will sweep the state by the largest plurality ever given a candidate for governor in South Da kota. The unscrupulous efforts of the bosses against him will only result in increasing the plurality by which he will sweep the state. EGAN TO THE FRONT Sioux Falls, S. D„ May 14.—The most encouraging reports continue to be received here from all parts of the state in reference to the candidacy of George W. Egan for the governorship He is gaining by leaps and bounds even in what has been considered as Byrne territory, and everything indi cates that "High-Tax" Byrne will have difficulty in preventing his own home county from being carried by Mr. Egan Bossism is what is playing havoc with the Byrne forces. The voters of the state are tlrea of boss and factional rule and at the primary election on June 4 will declare for a new deal in South Dakota by nominating George W. Egan to the office of governor.

Huron, S. D., May 13.—During the past thirty days there lias, been a steady increase of Egan sentiment in this part of the state. The opinion of men in close touch with the situation is that George W. Egan will, sweep Beadle and surrounding counties.

D., May 13.—The rank and file of republican voters in this territory, which is included in the Milwaukee Road to Make Improvements Much interest is being manifested by residents along the Madlson-Bris tol line Of the Milwaukee road,' since Jast winter when it was announced that a considerable amount of im provements would be made on it dur ing the summer: Work would have been started last summer had it not .. have been for the shortage of crops, but it is a pretty certain thing now ••Jthat work will start soon. The Mad ison line will become an important .one if the commercial club of Sioux Falls is able to bring about the change they desire, in having the Sioux City passenger trains run via Sioux Falls instead of Mitchell, which tU would then mean that they would be ^run to Aberdeen over the Madison line and over the Hastings and Dakota division of the same road. The road' bed of the Madison line would have to be improved and the rails relald, the present ones being far. too light for heavy haulBTg which would conse quently follow. It would mean much for the towns along the line, and all -ere doing whatever is possible for St 'f .••• -. .-.'vr-a j- Bgan Bcbo^ home territory of "High-Tax" Byrne, are deserting Byrne in large numbers and coming to the support of George W.

Glenn Valley, S. D., May 12.—The farmers of Buffalo and surrounding counties, and the business men gene rally of Glenn Valley and other towns have largely enlisted under the ban ner of George W. Egan, as they Btana for the elimination of boss rule and want a man for governor who will work in the interests of all the people instead of a mere faction. Sioux Fallp, S. D., May 14.—Every vote cast for George W.

The com: pany had planned to gravel the road bed between Sanborn and Boyden, la., Emery and Mitchell and Chamberlain and Mitchell, the material being taken from the immense sandpit in the vi cinity of Hudson. From semi-official sources' it is learned the company later in the season, intends to change the course Of one of the through coast trains, and will run the Columbian via Sioux City, Sioux Falls and Aberdeen, and will give better attention to a. ter ritory that is without a one-road train service through to the coast. A great many requests have come from towns along the line of the road on the route for this change'and it will in all probability be mt$§ -this fall. If not sooner. fg i*:-A. 'V.
