The Clark County Review quotes an
item from the Press and Dakotaian
which says:
When the southern half of Dakota be.
comes a state its school lands-two
sections in each townshlp-will become
available. The revenue from this source
will more than counterbalance the addi.
tlonal expense of government.
The Review then remarks:
AS there are rs many school townships
IN north Dakota, as in south, why not
admit Dakota as a whole, and save twice
rs much as will be expended to run
south Dakota alone?
Dakota admitted as a whole would
double the number of schools and moth.
ing would be saved by the operation, as
the additional expense would equal the
additional revenue. The Review is very
much like the man who proposed to
start in the mercantile business and beat
all his competitors by selling at less than
cost. To accomplish success after this
plan his course was to do twic as much
business as they did.

Lincoln county has nominated its can.
didates to the constitutional convention
and the Canton Star says of them:
The ticket nominated last Saturday to
represent this county at the Sioux Falls
convention is an able and q representa-.
tive one. Five of the delegates are re.
publicans and two are democrats; and
this is giving the latter party a larger
representation on the ticket-larger pro.
bably than the comparative democra,
vote would entitle it to. The republi.
can representatives are Messrs. Clifford,
Wheelock, Taylor, Sherman and Ru.
dolph, all of whom are known to be
earnest advocates OF division and admis.
sion, and will be vigilant representatives
OF our interests in the constitutional
convention. The democrats are repre-.
sented by Messrs. Boynton and Conklin.
who both have the full support and con.
tidence of their party.
