Brookings, Nov. 9.—Congressman
Philo Hall, of Brookings, spent Friday
here, his first visit in several months.
Mr. Hall is slowly recovering from a

weeks ago, resulting iu the breaking of
his left leg in two places. Mr. Hall
has I een a great sufferer.but his recov
ery will be complete and especially
gratifying to his friends throughout
the state, who feared that he would be
permanently lame. Mr. Hall,although
unable to take active part in the late
political campaign, is especially grati

in
both state and
nation.
Mr. Hall will go to Washington as

GOODS BUT YOU MEED NOT
BE FLEECED IF 'Yocl BUY AT
A RELIABLE STORE
BUSTER BROVrt.
Nov. 8.
The campaign
is over in Foutii Dakota, and the demo
rats are whipped good and plenty
The republicans have not only elected
the presidential electors, but have also
made a clean sweeu of the state ticket
The defeat of Lee for governor is a dis
ippointment to a great many, both
democrats and republicans, but his de
teat does not rest heavily on Mi. Lee.
He did not want to make the run for
governor and only accepted the nomi
nation at the mgent request cf his
closest fiiends. It was lelieved that
lie could poll a far larger vote than
any other man that could be named.
And he did. But at that he is defeat
ed by nearly 17,0(10 votes. Had the
democrats abandoned everything and
made the fight for Lee alone, they
might have snccfeded in electing him
governor. But this was not the case
They devoted their efforts towards
electing the entire ticket and lost
everything.
There is one thing very commend
able about the campaign which Mr
Lee conducted. He showed no mer
cenary streak, and instead of rushing
liis own candidacy to the limit, he
went in for the democratic cause from
top to bottom. Mr. Lee time and
again expressed the desire to have the
legislature with him, or else he would
just as soon not lie elected. He want
ed the state to go for Bryan, and said
HO iu every speech that he made. He
could have received the support of re
publican newspapers for a considera
tion for himself, but did not feel that
it was an honest proposition, since the
same papers would be opposed to Bry
an, and the iest of the state ticket.
He might have won, but the victory
would not have had any pleasures for
him had he oeen compelled to stand
alone.
The defeat of Mr. Lee is a sur
prise all along the line. Few there
were who would predict otherwise
than that he would win. But in the
lust two weeks of the campaign the
republican management abandoned
everything else and went in to save
Vessey. The only regretable feature
is that mud slinging was resorted to.
and that Mr. Lee's character was as
sailed, both at home and abroad. The
impression was scattered broadcast that
lie was not only an immoral man, but
also that ne was in league with the
saloon forces as against the prohibi
tionists. All such arguments were
used against him, and they had the
desired effect.
Chairman Dick Lyons has little to
say regarding the defeat cf the demo
ratic ticket. He fetls that the state
management did everything |in its
power to win, and attributes defeat to
the fact iliat the normal republican
majority was too big to overcome.
The campaigo tund was none too large
at any time, and much that might
have been done could not be considered
becatuo of lack of money
THE LAWS
Anti-Salooon League OftHW
That County Option
Carried
Sioa* Falls, Nov. 8.—Her. Gratfon,
president of the State AntI Saloon
league composed of the "vote yes"peo
ple in the county option tight, now
comes forward with a claim of a ma
joiity for their side of 2,000 votes
in South Dakota. The saloon people
claim the state by fS.000.
Two of the proposed state laws*
county option and Sunday closing
were turned down, accoiding to all in
dications from the election. The quail
protection law cariied probaoly. It is
impossible to get complete figures on
the votes for or against the lavvH until
after the canvassing boards for the
various counties meet.
Much comment is heard about the
form of the ballots, which was such
that manv believed they were voting
"no" on the county option law, when
they leally voted "no"' on the divorce
law. The saloon men, who opposed
the passage of the county option law,
while confident of victory, state that
they would have carried the county op
tion fight by a big majority had they
had the "Yes" and "No" printed at
the head of the county option column.
Complete returns from the precincts
of two cwunties—Yankton and Davison
give majoiities of 400 and i00, re
•pectively, for the passage of the di
vorce law requiring a six months
residence. Minnehaha county ga\e
its vote against the law, according to
incomplete returns from the various
precincts. So far, returns would in
dicate that the divorce law had car
ried, and that hereafter imported di
vorcees will have to remain a full year
instead of six months, and will have
to air tueir family tioubles in open
court, instead of confining them to the
judges' chambers.
The law prohibiting Sunday base
ball and theaters where admission is
charged unquestionably lost, as far as
reported, Accoiding to the available
information gathered from the incom
plete returns, the vote was t*\o ont'
nuainst it.
While these results are given for
their face value, the canvassing boards
may change the appearance gieatly
The canvassing board in all the coun
ties meet on or before next Tuesday,
Nov. 10. Figures probably will be
obtainable Thursday for Minnehaha
county and the returns from the state
will probably be sufficient then to an
nounce safe majoiities one way or the
other.

Simple Operation In the Retire
mint of a President.
SAD BUT MEMORABLE EVENT.
Veteran Disbursing Officer of Execu­
tive Mansion Describes His Emotions
When Saying Qoodby to Different
Presidents.
On the 4th of next March the presi
dent of the United States will leave
the White House and drive to the
capltol with William Howard Tat't,
who Is to become his successor, and
the president of the United States will
go to the White House to take up the
reins of government. For Mr. Taft It
will be the proudest day in the hiBtiry
of his life. For Theodore Roosevelt It
will be a memorable anniversary,
tinged with the sadness which, sin^e
the beginning of tl* nation, has been
felt by every ex-president of the United
States.
The retirement of a president from
the White House Is a pathetic mile
stone in the lives not only of the pres
ldent and his family, but in the lives
of the household staff of the mansion,
says the Boston Herald. Many of
these officials, caretakers and serv
ants have served for years. The aver
age term of a president nowadays is
eight years, and in this time friend
ships are formed between the family
of the executive and the people gath
ered about them to serve them. Presi
dent Roosevelt's young children have
practically spent their childhood in the
White House. The leave taking will
be naturally sorrowful for them, as
well as for the doorkeepers, messengers
and attendants who have been their
companions for seven years.
The actual moving of one family out
of and another family into the White
House is a simple operation, attracting
in itself but little attention on the part
of the families concerned and none at
all on the part of the general public.
Preparations are being made In ad
vance, personal effects quietly packed
and possessions sent to the future
home. The leave taking on the part of
the retiring president, his wife and
children consists only of the goodbys
said and the handshakes given, for
the White House is entirely furnished
by the government.
In the winter the president will be
gin preparations for leaving, the de
tails of which will be under the per
sonal direction of Secretary Loeb and
Colonel Bromwell, superintendent of
public buildings and grounds. In the
first place, all the papers which have
accumulated in the White House dur
ing the last seven years will be care
fully looked into by the president and
his office staff. All personal papers
will be packed and sent to Oyster Bay.
All official papers and documents will
be sent to the various executive de
partments of the government, accord
ing to the usual custom. Then the per
sonal effects of the Roosevelts will be
packed and early in the year will be
sent to the Sagamore Hill home under
Mr. Loeb's directions.
Of those who have long been associ
ated with the White House none will
witness the departure of the Roosevelt
family with greater regret than Colonel
W. II. Crook, the veteran disbursing
officer of the White House, who enter
ed the executive mansion service in
the first term of President Lincoln and
has been there ever since. He has
seen every president say farewell to
the White House since the war.
"The departure of a president is one
of the saddest things I know," said
Colonel Crook. "I am scarcely able to
describe the emotions I have felt la
saying goodby to the different presi
dents under whom I have served and
the members of their families. I be
"eve I never felt quite so badly as
when President Cleveland retired at
the close of his first term, and perhaps
they felt it keenly too. Mrs. Cleveland
remained until the last moment on the
morning on March 4, loath to take her
departure. She visited the different
rooms, looking at the pictures, gaxing
out of the windows. I went to her to
say goodby and found her taking leave
of old Jerry Smith, one of the old
time colored servants of the White
House.
'Jerry,* said Mrs. Cleveland, "keep
everything in good order until I come
back.'
"Mrs. Cleveland evidently believed
that her husband would later be re
elected president, and her faith was
vindicated, for he was, and Mrs. Cleve
land did come back, and Jerry Smith
had everything as she liked it. She
gave me a bunch of violets when she
said goodby to me. I have that faded
bouquet still and would not part with
it.
"When Mrs. Grant retired from the
White House she went around the
building and shook hands with every
one and said goodby. Mrs. Lincoln's
departure was the saddest I ever wit
nessed. President Lincoln was assas
sinated on April 14. 1865. and died the
next morning. The blow fell with the
force of a bolt from a clear sky. Presi
dent Johnson took up his headquarters
in the treasury building for ten days,
in which time Mrs. Lincoln made her
sorrowful preparations to leave.
"The goiug away of Mrs. Garfield
was sad, too, but General Garfield lin
gered for a long time before his death,
and the blow to his wife was not so
sudden as that to Mrs. Lincoln. Mrs.
McKinlcy returned to the White House
after the assassination, but she never
returned after she had accompanied
her husband's remains to Canton."
Most of the presidents have left
Washington immediately after the ln
tttgurattoa of tbeir mceuuom,
