SNoSS
The committee in charge OF the ar
rangements fer lie independent state
convention and industrial encampment
at Rcdtield have their work well in hand.
Generous provisions are being made for
the expected crowds both in the way OF
hall and committee room accummoda-
tions and also OF hotel and restaurant
service. The local committees appoint
ed by the citizens OF Redfield to work
with the state central committee are
pushing the preparations vigorously.
The plans are laid for the erection Of
an auditorium that will seat 5000 peo-
pie, as it is believed the occasion will
attract the largest crowd in the history
OF the state. Ample provision will be
made to care fer all who come at rates
to suit. The charge per day at hotels
and restaurants will be, from 81 to 81
per day. Many will nc doubt bring
their own accommodations and camp
out for the week. Convenient grounds
will be provided for all such. Those

rate from all points III South Dakota

sale every day from the 10th OF June
till the 29th. The tickets will be excur-
sion, and require no certificate from the
secretary OF the convention. BY this
arrangement it is hoped that many who
cannot spend the whole week will take
advantage OF the opportunity to hear
some special speaker on somep particular
day. The eon,e ntion opens at noon OF
Tuesday, the 21st. 1t will probably
complete it's work by DON OF the 23d.
