SIOCX FALLS, H. I)., IVe. 31. (Spe
cial.) Political interest In outh Dakota
now ia centered in a meeting which Is
to ho held at Huron on Friday, January
6. by the South Dakota friends of Presi
dent Taft, who. expect at that tlmo to
lay the foundation for an aggressive fight
to elect ten delegates from South Dakota
to the republican national convention.
Tlio Taft partisans In South Dakota ap
pear confident of capturing tha ten dele
gates, but feel that tsey should not let
the matter ro by default, and therefore
will wage as aggressive a fight as If they
regarded the result to bo In doubt. The
supporters of President Taft believe that
as South Dakota will be one of the last
states to elect delegates to tho Chicago
convention. President Tart will nave a
Inrge majority of the delegates to the
Chicago convention before the delegates
are selected In South Dakota, and that
therefore the movement to select La
Follette delegates from South Dakota will
by that time have tho bottom knocked
out of it and will have collapsed completely.
In the event that Ihe fouth Dakota
friends of Senator LaFollette continue to
wage a fight to capture the South Dakota
delegation after president Taft has cap
tured a majority ot the delegates to tht
national convention, . the Taft men In
South Dakota will charge tho partisans
of Senator LaFollette with acting a
tides of the democrats.
Ilan 1.a Knllette Meetlnar.
It has become known within' the last
day or two that the South Dakota sup
porters of Senator LaFollette are plan
ning on holding a rally in Sioux Falls
early in January. Tbe exact date has not
jet been fixed, but Wednesday, January
30, Is looked tipon with favor, and la likely
to bo the date selected. One of the mov
ing spirits In the movement to have the
meeting" held Is Thomas Thorson of Can
ton, 8. D., member of the republican na
tional committee, who is an enthusiastic
supporter of Sanator LaFollette and
strongly opposed to the renomlnatlon of
President Taft.
The meeting will be of state-wide scope
and efforts will be made to have several
thousand LaFollette supporters from all
parts of the state attend it. As the result
of the meeting Jt Is expected a vigorous
campaign for a LaFollette delegation
from South Dakota to the national con
vention will be inaugurated.
The promoters of the meeting plan to
secure some speaker of national reputa
tion. During the last week the friends of
Senator Gamble have been active In all
parts of the state.. Senator Gamble Is
particularly strong among; the homestead
ers of the state." '. 'V' ' ' '
