Clark, s. D., Feb. 8, 1904.
Very Respectfully,
IS. FL. Elrod.


CHAIRMAN CRANE, of the republi.
can state central committee, has
called the committee together at
Sioux Falls March to select the date
Of the state convention. We hope the
committee will decide for an early
date--as early in April as possible.
Several Of our exchanges, evidently
following the suggestion sent out by
the Minneapolis .Jo1rndl, have said
that the convention is likely to be set
for the last of May or the first of June.
They all forget that all delegates to
the republican national convention
must be selected at least 30 days before
that convention, which Is appointed
for June %.

IN ANOTHER column we give In full
Mr.. Elrod's letter announcing himself
candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for governor. MIR. Elrod will
undoubtedly have the enthusiastic en-
dorsement OF his home county and q
considerable following from his part
of the state. He is no '.ring' candi-
date, represents no corporation or
special interest and has definite and
attractive policy which he pledges
himself to carry out Ii elected. Mr..
Elrod stands for rigid economy, rea-
sonable appropriations, equal and inst
taxation and judicious and vigorous
development of all worthy state inter-
ests. He is peoples candidate and
would make q peoples governor. Read
his letter through; 1t has the right
kind of ring. With such men as MIR.
Elrod In the field no one need fear
that any machine" Is going to out
wit or overcome the will of the voter.
AS Mr.. Elrod well says: !" The MAJ
chime Id South Dakota Is the state

terday- He came primarily for the pur-
pose OF attending the adjourned annual
meeting Of the BlaCkbird company, and

company hy the Franklin contingent.
yesterday it was wrested from the
hands Of those who have run things
Ior a year and last night the books and
papers Of the corporation were safely
stored IN the vaults at the Yankee Con-
solidated offices again.
The passing Of the control of the
proposition into the hands Of Mr.. Du-
bOlss ana his associates again means. il
IS said, that just az soon as the ac-
counts can be checked up and verified
every legitimate claim against the com
pany VIII be paid in full. This VIII be
sood news to the men who have money
coming for work at the mine particular
~ as recently quite a number have
gone into debt through the failure OF
the Rlackbird and Majestic companies
TO meet their obligations. The change
IN management also means that in the
very near future steps will be taken 70

develop the property and the assurance

sumed.

The deal so far as it affects the Di-
TeEO la Sal side was handled by
George r Mccain Of Auburn, Ne, who
IS the c0mpany's manager, his work
having been done IN the east, where all

CCntempiates the bringing together Of

We are positive" said Mr.. Lander
yesterday. that our process viii save
the values at a very modest cost and
as the difference in cost of building a
plant OF 20 tons as against 100 tons, as
we have have contracted to do, is not so
very great. we shall build a mill with
the latter capacity right at the start.

pose to do at the hands of the share
holders, and would be glad to have
every one of them call upon US in the
ID. T. Walker building and learn for
themselves the details Of the PROPOSE
ton.
1T is no secret, I believe, that the
Star Consolidated mine contains large
of ore that the management
has found it impossible to market at a
profit. We are Offering a solution of
that problem. If il is all right every
member of the company must be the
