PRIMARY
TODAY
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Mar. 23
South Dakota voters will in their primary today instruct their delegations to the national conventions whom to vote for as a presidential preference on the first three ballots in the democratic and republican national conventions. They will also nominate senatorial and congressional candidates and complete state tickets.
There are three sets of candidates for presidential nomination in each party. General Leonard Wood, endorsed at a republican meeting last December and President Wilson, similarly endorsed by a democratic meeting, are designated as majority proposal candidates. The republican majority slogan as announced in eight words, the legal limit, is "Patriotism, progress, prosperity, honesty, economy, law and order." The democratic slogan is "For lasting peace under the League of Nations."
Governor Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, republican, and James W. Gerard, democrat, were selected for presidential nomination by delegates to the December conference who were not satisfied with the majority choice and they are known as minority proposal candidates. The republican minority slogan is "economy, efficiency, protection, peace, agriculture promoted: one flag." The democratic minority candidate is running under: "Make and keep the world safe for democracy"
Senators Miles Poindexter, of Washington, and Hiram Johnson, of California, are known as republican independent candidates, having been named by filing a petition of at least one percent of the total vote of their party at the last election. James O. Monroe, of Illinois, is the petition candidate so nominated for the democratic ticket.
Poindexter's slogan is: "American government free from class or foreign control"
Johnson's is "Americanism, freedom of speech, press, justice, with law and order."
Monroe's is: "Prevent coal, oil and transportation monopoly by taxation"
