prominent Catholic clergymen, presided
over by Archbishop Ireland Of st. Paul,
who meet to elect new bishop for South

consultors chosen by the priesthood Of
South Dakota who have the privilege
and also the duty to perform, of voting
for a new bishop, much as our president
iai electors vote for president, and
Father Flynn is highly honored in being
one of them. These choose or elect three
candidates for the. %bishopric, one Of whom
