Thank God the republicans of the
eastern portion Of this state were out in
force on election day if those of the Third
district did stay at home. In many
counties the republicans pst two tickets
in the field and as result elected three
good republican delegates instead of two
and one democrat. It is too bad the
Hills could not keep up to them. With
their strong republican majority they
should have done SO.

A large number of circulars were
received in this city Saturday from the
Chamberlain board eaf trade expiating
upon the glories of that town as a can
didate for capital honors. The map
accompanying the letter, upon the back
of the envelope, made the people of this
section hostile. Sturgis and Meade
county are entirely ignored, blank
space occupying that portion of the
Hills destined so soon to become the
leader politically and financially OF
Southwest Dakota, and having at the
present time nearly 1000 votes. Meade
doesn't propose to be sighted by any
candidate for the state house and then
vote for that same candidate. Hardly.

Although OF the opposite political faith
from John Scollard, the ADVERTISER is
of the opinion that better men than he in
this section of the country are about as
scarce as hens teeth. Meade county
wiz be well represented and need not be
ashamed of her representative citizen,
sent out to South Dakota's first state
gathering. Our citizens can rest assured
that if it is necessary to get out and de-
clare himself and make "a strong Meade

will come pretty near doing it. Consid-
ering that John is democrat, he is a
pretty respectable sort of fellow.

The Sioux Falls constitution was car
ried in South Dakota by very large
majority, the actual figures of which are
not in yet. The republicans elected
four ifths of the delegates to the con-

Hills.

General E. A. Merritt, of Potsdam, N Y. who

porter while he passing through the city.
When asked for his opinion of the location of the

reason why the Bowling Green site is a good one is
that the movement of traffic to and from the stores
at Bowling Green Will be parallel to Broadway.
The course OF the heavy street traffic of the city is
along and parallel to Broadway. Bowling Green
can be reached from either front of this city
without crossing Broadway or the general drift OF
traffic. and can thus be reached more easily than IL

AT Bowling Green, furthermore the stores will be
