more than three wears last past. the

he has read the affidavit OF Robert NJ
Howell, the relator, and he denies the
allegations in the affidavit of Robert
M. Howell contained, except those allie
cations hereinafter specifically admit
ted, qualified or denied. Affiant admits
that he is an adherent of the Roose-
welt Independent Republican party of
Roberts county. and that he is ac-
quainted with all the facts in reference
to the organization of said party. That
as an outgrowth of the feeling on the
part of the electors and tax payers of
Roberts county, Immediately after the
Roberts county Republican convention
of April S, 1904, general feeling of
dissatisfaction and distrust began to
pervade the electors and voters
throughout the county. and that as a
result of agitation and discussion gen
orally, demand for united action
among the voters and electors was
made, and as result written notices
were sent out by certain electors
calling for meeting of electors for
October 1, 1904. and as a result of
said call. large number of electors
gathered in the court house in the city
of Sisseton, county of Roberts, on that
day. These electors were residents of
White Rock, of Summit. of Wilmot, of
Sisseton, of Hart township, Lien town
ship, Becker township, Enterprise
township, Norway township and other
townships and voting precincts
throughout the county. and said meet
ing was called to order by A. II. niger
soil Of Sisseton, South Dakota, who
was nominted chairman, and affiant
was nominated secretary, and after a
general discussion and debate, in
which large number Of voters and
electors took part, It was the general
opinion Of said assembly that pri.
mary election Law should be adopted
In this state; and that the expendi-
lures Of the county under the present
local administration were excessive.

Hon. Harry L. Maynard, representa-

yesterday introduced a bill in The
House authorizing the Federal gov
eminent to participate in the James
town Tercentennial Exposition in
1907 and providing for an appropria-
ton of s1,340,0Oo for government
buildings and exhibits.
The bill also provides for the coin
age by the government OF 1,00O,000 two
dollar silver pieces, the exposition to
pay for the bullion used. BY this
means the company hopes 10 realize Il
profit of about 100000 on the differ
ence between the cost OF the silver
and the circulating value OF the coins.
1t is proposed to have the coins bear
scenes typical Of jamestown and the
event which is TO be celebrated, the
first permanent English settlement in
America and it is believed that there
will be great demand for them. The
unusual size Of the proposed coins
should increase their value as SOU
