The news of the nomination of Capt.
Lucas is gratifying indeed, alike tothe
Captain and his friends. Coming as
it has without any solicitation upon
his part whatever, 1t is clear case Of
the Office seeking the man. That the
Office has sought man qualified in
every particular will be abundantly
substantiated after he takes his seat IN
congress next March. The STAR feels
no small degree of satisfaction over his
nomination, inasmuch as this paper
first brought forward the name of
Capt. Lucas for congress. Hot Springs
rejoices exceedingly over the selection
of its favorite son, and extends its un-
bounded thanks to the wise delegates
of the republican convention for his
nomination.
The whole state ticket Is the strong
est ever named in South Dakota.
