SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 21. (By
tho Associated Press.) Claiming bet
tor than a two to one victory in the
county proposal conventions over
sponsors of a state wide presidential
campaign In behalf of Henry Ford,
supporters of William G. McAdoo to
day began work on a state platform
which thoy hope may be carried Into
the national arena by their candidate.
Returns today from counties repre
senting approximately three-fourtliB of
the state voting power gave the Mc
Adoo forces 30,000 votes in the state
convention against less than 10,000 for
the Ford men, according to leaders In
the two campaigns.
Republican and farmer-labor senti
ment was less clearly indicated by the
county proposal nominations to the
state conventions at Pierre, December
4 but In both groups the battle lines
are growing, In the republican camp
between President Coolldge and Sena
tor Hiram Johnson of California and
In the third party betweon Henry Ford
and Senator Robert M. LaFollette of
Wisconsin. ,
President Coolldge and Senator Hi
ram Johnson were the only presiden
tial nominees considered at the sixty
republican conventions, yet most of
the county delegates were unlnstruct
ed. The president received Instruc
ted delegations from four counties
and a fifth endorsed the national ad
ministration. Three counties, lnclud
ng two of the largest In the state,
came out for the "favorite son."
Ford was endorsed In two counties
under the farmer-labor banner, other
third party counties from which re
ports have been received sending their
delegations uninstructed. Three coun
ties passed resolutions favoring form
ation of a third party, but without
naming a candidate.
Two county democratic conventions
endorsed proposals for coalition be
tween the third party and the demo
crats. Nino Injured at Long Beach

LONDON, Nov. 21. (By the Asso
dated; Press.) The 'British govern
ment's final Instructions to ?xrd
Crewe, the British ambassador, uf
Paris, for handling the dedicate sit
uation which during the last week has
tlireateiLejljIjjexJsncfthe,-.
tente, were forwarded to Paris early
today. Foreign office officials ex
pressed the hope that definite and
permanent beneficial results for the
entente Itself and for the entente's re
lations with Germany would be achiev
ed by the meeting of the council of
ambassadors In Paris this afternoon.
The French willingness to meet the
British half way on the terms of the
allied note to be dispatched to Ger
many Is said here to have ben the sal
vation of the situation, Premier Poin
care having given way on three chief
ponlts investigated during the nego
tiations betwen Paris and London
which terminated last night
M. Poincare has assured the Brit
ish, in the first place, that the ultima
tum feature could be deleted from the
German note; secondly that the re
questlon for the expulsion of the ex
crown prince from Germany could be
dropped, and thirdly, that no definite
penalties were to be threatened imme
diately. Tho British believe an allied note
along these lines will enable the Ger
man government to accept the situa
tion without endangering its position.

Ohlnctlnns to that word were raised

6 SI. CROSSING
The city council at its mooting Inst
night transacted a lnrge griHt of busi
ness, and in addition discussed the
Sixth street subway matter and made
arrangements to keep the bUBlnetts
streets cleaner from now on and for
better lighting of North Bartlett and
possibly other streets leading from
the business section to the - new
Armory; also Instructed Flro Chief
Elliott and Police Chief Adams to put
a stop to the parking of autos in front
of the Rlalto theater, which practice
by many car owners Is In vlolutlon qf
state law and city ordinance and Is
declared to be a fire menace.
City Superintendent Davis and the
city engineer were Instructed to begin
work on establishing the new Sixth
street- grade crossing the first of next
week. Mayor Qaddls and the council
men cautioned that this work be done
very carefully and neatly, so as to
make the much wanted Improvement
aa sightly as possible In view of tho
opposition shown in the past by the
Southern Pacific company to a grade
crossing over Its tracks at this loca
tion, and the possibility of that com
pany bringing an injunction suit to
prevent its establishment. It is said
that If such action should bo taken by
the company It could delay in the.
courts tho inauguration of such a
crossing two or three years. .-
After a discussion or dirty business
streets the council instructed the
superintendent of Btreets to hereafter
flush those streets in the day time
Instead of at night as heretofore, and
declared that merchants and business
men could help tho good work along
by not sweeping their refuse into tha
streets and letting It lie there to bo
removed by the city.
This was a gentle slap at the recent
public kick published by tho retail
merchants association about the con
dition of the streets. It was ex
plained that at present and for tho
next five months the streols could not
be flushed in the night time as here
tofore, because the flushing water
would freeze on the pavement.-Therefore
the flushing will be done here
after during the day, which means
that many a parked auto will got Its
wheels and some of its body wet.
The matter of bettor lighting on

'reets leading to the new armory was
