was ignored.
Officials Not Familiar.
The trouble is that the law is new
and many county and city officials are
not familiar with its provisions. AS
result the contractors have not been
compelled 10 obey the statute and
quite as many have overlooked it
through ignorance as Wilfully refused
10 follow the statute. The labor COM

MUST OBEY EIGHT HOUR LAW
State Labor Comm issoner to Follow
Up Contractors of State.

SEATTLE, Wash. June 24.-William

further action.
Il am informed, however" said Mr.

In this respect Mitchell has a
decided advantage over Pierre,

The double dealing, two faced
game which the boiling com bina-
tion are playing upon their fol.
lowers was plainly shown up
during the last week when the
Minneapolis Journal of April 13
arrived here. Mr.. Bentley had
been to the city during the week,
and calling upon E. G. Torrey,
the Minneapolis Journal man
who writes the South Dakota
political news and com ments in
that paper, he was interviewed
by Mr.. Torrey, who in his column
of "South Dakota Politics, gave
the following as the result of the
interview:
L. II. Bentley of Mibank, who will
head one of the deleg ations from
Grant county, says he is with the ad-
ministration and that Crawford will
have no support from the county, no
matter how the cat jumps. If neces-
sary, Mr.. Bentley will take his fight
to the floor of the convention. 1t is
predicted that if he loses, Grant
county will have another strenuous
season when the second convention is
held for the nomination of county
officers.
The Journal is quite extensive
ly circulated here, and when
some of the men who were CON
scientiously for Crawford read
the item, they went straight to
Mr. Bentley and demanded what
it meant We understand that
Mr.. Bentley, who is the leader
of the anti delegation, denied the
interview and asserted that it
must have come from the 'gang"
The fact is the bolters are trying
to ride two horses, playing a
double- faced part They have
been assuring the state organ
ization or machine men that they
are with them and are opposed
to Crawford and his methods.
At home they are pretending to
Crawford supporters that they
will support Crawford in the con
vention and are for that gentle
man in his aspirations for the
governorship.
The duplicity of this Bentley
Rabbit Crawl ford combination in
this matter is we'll known, and
they have carried it so far that
they are now right up between
his satanic majesty and the deer
blue see.

Our efforts to smoke out the
boilers and have them state
whether they are Crawford or
anti Crawford have not been sue
cessful. Silence deep and long
continued is the only answer to
our call for them to declare
whether the delegation is for
Crawford or against him. The
Twin Brooks News evades the
question by quoting the unit
rule adopted in their resolutions
and states that the majority vote
of the delegates will decide
whether the delegation is Craw-
ford or anti Crawford. This is
simply an admission of what we
have charged against the boilers,
that they have been trying to
ride two horses; that they are
facing both ways, waiting to go
in with the winners. The News.
the organ of the boilers, has
been advocating Crawford and
soliciting votes for the ants
under the pretense of being for
Crawford, while the leaders in
Milbank have repeatedly de-
clared that the delegation is not
for Crawford, but that it is with
what the News terms the "ma-
chine"

Earl Lee is confined to his bed,
threatened with an attack of
pneumonia.
J. D. Burkhardt has been on

George Fanset, who has been

The very close vote on alder
man in the third ward made the
contest there very interesting.
In the counting Of the votes 4
single ballot was of much impor-
tance, whether it should be
counted or not was to decide
whether Mr.. Johnson was elected
over Mr.. Stone or whether the
vote was a tie. There were four
different ballot boxes provided
in each of the wards for the
several propositions to be voted
upon alder man, board of educa-
tion members, water bonds, and
school bonds. Each voter as he
passed in his four ballots was
supposed to tell the Judge which
question he was voting upon, so
that the ballot should be placed
in the right box. In all of the
wards there was more or less of
a mixup Of these tickets, but
this had been anticipated, aud
the judges and clerks had agreed
beforehand to count all the votes
though misplaced in the boxes,
and this was done in each of the
wards. One voter in the third
ward in giving in his ballots
undoubtedly got them mixed up
as after he was supposed to have
voted his alderman ticket it was
found he still had it. The Judge
took possession of the ticket and
kept it until the close Of the polls
Properly the ballot should have
been placed in one Of the other
boxes, and this is where the
mistake was made, but the elec-
ton board believed that the vote
was honestly cast by the voter
and unanimously agreed to max e
a memorandum of the fact on
the returns stating that the vote
was for Emil Johnson, and at the
canvass by the city council the
vote was counted and Mr.. John
son was declared elected, four
mem bers of the council votin G
in favor of the motion and one in
opposition.

SMITH and ROPER MEETINGS
A Fine Series of Meetings. Large
Attendance and Practical
Results


vices being held by Messrs.
Smith and Roper continue to be
largely attended, the churches
being filled at each meeting, and
a goodly number of both young
and middle aged people GO
ing to the affairs Of the churches
as seekers in the Christian life.
Only words of commendation for
the excellent manner in which
the meetings are being conducted
are heard. The plain, prac-
tical addresses of Mr.. Smith
present gospel truths in a way
that is beyond criticism, and are
convincing to both the heart and
the intellect Of his hearers.
The mems meeting last Sun
day afternoon at the opera house
was we'll attended, and the mat
ter of men stepping out on the
great truths Of the bible and
placing their influence and ex-
ample on the side of righteous
ness was pressed home upon all
present in kindly yet con vino
ing manner.
A great day is being planned
for the coming Sunday in con.
nection with the meetings. Ser
vices will be held as follows:
Union morning Service-M. e.
church at 1890 a. m :, Mr.. Smith S
subject will be "Who is the
strongest man." Grand music
will be a feature. Smith and
Roper will slug "He knows. 1t
will be one of the finest meetings
of the day. Everyone invited.
Union afternoon meeting-3:30
| p. M, M. E. church. Subject of
address popular amusements.
It will be a kind, fair talk upon
this much controverted subject.
The Canton Ohio Journal says
of this address: ut was the
wisest and kindest ever given
here upon this theme" Splendid
special music.
Mass meeting for women only
- p 10, at the Congregational
church, led by Smith aud Roper.
Subject "Gifts.' Singing by
ladies chorus and the male
quartette. Every woman and
girl is invited.
Mass meeting for men only
l8 p. m., at the M. E. church.
Mr.. Smith will deliver a con-
fidential talk on "The sins of
men," and relate some of his
experience at Chickamauga Park
during the SpanishAmerican
war This address has been
most earnestly endorsed by law
yers, doctors and educators. No
man in the comm unity can afford
to miss it. Boys under IL will
not be admitted except with
their fathers. Singing by Smith
and Roper and male qua~tette.
It is expected that this will be
the greatest service of the kind
ever held here.
The plans for the meetings for
men and women have been
adopted because no auditorium
in the city will hold the Sunday
night audiences should the
weather be favorable. The NJ.
E. church will be opened at Z p.
m. and the Congregational church
will remain open until after
the mems meeting to accommo-
date men and their wives from
the country.
