PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 14.-As the time
approaches for the change in state ad-

appointiye places at the disposal OF the

good to them are beginning to make
themselves known. Adjt. Gen. Conklin

have others in the field to contend with,

nounced his candidacy for the place and is
securing Endorsements.

Aberdeen, are asking for his appointment
as state surveyor, a place now held by
Byron E. Lovejoy, of Redfield.
In regard to legislative places, the
avowed candidates for the speakership so
far developed are J. L. Browne. OF Brown,

the Brown county man as winner.

for the place of sergeant at arms or the
