ington couhties delegates assign
about the same reason for their action. The
twelve recalci9fant delegates claim to have
scored a victory to-day, but others fail TO St.
it in that light They state, however, that
hey will turn in and work heartily for the
constitution, leaving the question of it's
adoption to the people. The general opin-
on among the other delegates is that the
sweive took the action they did to-day
merely to place themselves on record as car
wing out the instructions CT their corsSssts-
snts.
THE PERSONNEL OF THE CONVENTION
s considerably above the average of the last
legislature, the delegations from Yankton
county n the Black Hills district being
particularly strong. All evince a desire to
get at the work before them and adj
journ at an early date. The princi-
pal questions that are liable to pro-
duce spirited discussion are prohibition
woman suffrage and Dakota's chronic all
ment, the location of the capital. The pro-
hibitionists are represented in force in the
convention and will insist Upon the insertion
of q prohibition clause in the constitution.
There are also a few woman s~uffragfsts
who will demand recognition. When the
capital question comes up there will
probably be music, inasmuch as there
are several a~spirants for capital honors.
among the more prominent being Pierre.

The make up of the commission on name,
boundaries and seat of government is caus-
ing considerable trouble. owing to the fact
that so many towns are DESTROYS Of capital
honors. The policy of the president will be
to select men for this commission, who are
from localities not interested. In addition TO
the towns named that wished the capitol
are Chamberlain, Mitchell, Watertown and
Yankton-
