SECOND SKIRMISH IN SO. DAKOTA SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 20. The second skirmish in the opening battle of the 1924 presidential nomination campaign was being fought today in South Dakota in the county proposal conventions being held in each of the state's 68 counties by Democrats, Republicans and Farmers-Laborites. Three proposal men from each precinct, elected at last week's primary, assembled and selected three county proposal men who will go to Pierre Dec. 4 and pick complete national and state tickets. The question of whether Henry Ford is at all receptive to the Democratic nomination was suddenly injected into the Democratic campaign today by statements of rival leaders. U. S. G. Cherry, formerly Democratic candidate for U. S. senate, described an interview he had with E. G. Liebold, Ford's private secretary, quoting him an saying: "Mr. Ford is not a candidate for president. He does not want to be president. He wants to devote his life to the same activities and energies in which he is at present engaged." F. H. Hildebrandt, who signs himself the president of the South Dakota Ford for President Club, issued a statement in which he asserted that Mr. Ford is willing to abide by the election laws of South Dakota. If the Democratic Party of this state shall have drafted Mr. Ford as their national standard bearer, then and then only will Mr. Ford announce his acceptance. I wish to deny that Mr. Ford or any person with authority to speak for him, ever informed any person that he would not accept the Democratic nomination for president if it was offered to him." —Buy In Anaheim— MEDIUM STILL MAY SHOW GHOSTS BUT SHE MUST ARRANGE THE PARADISE Mrs. Clarence H.

Sidewalks and oiled and graded streets, in addition to the many improvements considered essential to regular mid-city property, are being installed, he said, prior to the opening. A multi-course luncheon servee in cafe style to all comers will mark the opening day, Mr. Miller stated, and a turnout in excess of the great throng entertained on the opening of the original Lansdowne is expected. In addition, Mr. Miller stated that several homes were being erected and would probably be ready for occupancy before Christmas. These will also be sold on the opening date. —Buy In Anaheim— POSTPONE NIPPON ROYAL WEDDING TOKIO, Nov. 20. — November, the month set by the imperial household department of Tokyo for the wedding of Prince Regent Hirohito and his betrothed, the Princess Nagako Kuni, promises to be one of the saddest November in the history of modern Tokyo.

The wedding has been postponed probably to January or February, the prince regent has given away some $150,000 that was to have gone for celebrations, and the imperial couple will begin their married life after what will probably be the simplest wedding in the history of any future Japanese emperor. By this action the prince regent and his bride-to-be have raised themselves not only in the opinion of the Japanese people, but with the foreigners in Tokio who had looked forward to this year as a time when the lavish entertaining possible in Japan—made temporarily impossible because of the emperor's illness—would be revived at least for a time. Newspapers and public men in Tokio unite in their praise for the imperial pair, and various editorials have been written commending the action of the imperial household—action which the public generally at first thought unnecessary.

Merchants of the old school relate how in the old days with 16,000 at a football game their stores were packed, where today with 77,000 on deck the same stores have only a normal amount of customers. The automobile that has replaced the railroad in getting people to the annual autumn games here is taking the people away without once touching the district where the big stores are. Severe police restrictions keep visiting machines within a few hundred yards of the bowl during the game and shunt the cars by devious routes outside the business heart of town before and afterward. Lively hotels, crowded with men and women wearing team colors are but a memory, along with dinner parties to celebrate a victory or to console in defeat. Game visitors now flee New Haven generally to dine in a town 30 miles remote from the bowl, and then continue the journey on home.

The previous time limit on this class of appointments expired Nov. 11, 1923, but owing to unexpected delays encountered by the war department in the organization of the reserve corps, an extension of one year was authorized by Secretary Weeks. According to officials, the work of building up the organized reserves was hampered by reduction of strength of the regular army and by curtailed appropriations. As a result, the assignment of reserve corps officers did not get under way to any considerable extent until 1922, when regular army officers were assigned to duty with organized reserves. Army officials contend that the greatly increased number of applications for appointment in the reserve corps which have been received during the last few months is an indication that world war veterans are desirous of making their services available in the new national defense system. The total increase during the present year was nearly double that of 1922. The increase during 1922 was 6951. The increase for the first ten months of this year totals 9614.
