When the convention adjourned
Wednesday afternoon az 3 o'clock it
was to meet again in the evening at Z
o'clock to hear the report of the various
committees. The latter part of the
afternoon was spent in caucusing among
the delegations and the impression
which prevailed during the early part
of the day that Phillips, Gamble and
Burke would head the ticket was fully
verified when the convention got down
to business in the evening.
The delegates we're promptly on hand
at the appointed hour and rapidly took
their seats in the hall. Every avail
able foot of space on the lower floor
allotted to them was occupied by the
spectators, while the gallery seats we're
over flowing. 1t was an audience fully
representative of the grand citizen
ship of South Dakota and the scene
was one that increased the love and
esteem of the people for this grand
young state.
Chairman Greene called the conven-
tion to order and called for the report
of the credentials committee, but they
desired an extension of one hour In
the meantime the chairman introduced
Mr.. T. j. Spangler who, in behalf of
the city of Mitchell, extended to the
delegates welcome that was at once
sincere and cordial. He said Mitchell
was glad to have the delegates OF re-
publicanism with US, glad of the oppor-
tunity to entertain the good citizens OF
South Dakota. He referred to the
magnificent achievements of our army
and navy. Mr.. Spangler touched on
the great possibilities of victory of the
republican party this year and he trust
ed that the convention would do its
duty by the people and place in nomina.
tion ticket that would be the means
of placing South Dakota again in the
republican column. Mr.. Spangler's re.
marks were timely and were heartily
applauded.
AT the conclusion of the address the
credentials committee was ready to re.
port, which was read by A. 81. Orvis ot
Yankton. There was but one contest.
