The evolutionary recital ut the

great C in every respect and re-

took part, and especially on the train

had been in existence but three weeks
the Improvement was very marked.
We understand that Miss Otter in
tends returning to De Smet in the
spring to form another class. 4 nice
round sum was sent to the Children's

the recital.
-Tuesdny of next week is caucus
day under the new law. The polls
will be open from 3 o'clock in the af-
ternoon until $50 o'clock in the even
ing. AT first thought many may re-
| gard this caucus of little importance
thinking hat the issues were decided
at the state convention. In a measure
this is true. But, on the other hand,
much depends on the complexion of
the delegation elected at the caucus.
These delegates are to nominate mem,
bers of the legislature, as well as coun-
ty officers. 1t is the nomination OF
Legislative candidates that is of spec
ial Importance. Without a legisla
ture in full sympathy with the state
platform, very little can be accom-
| plished. Those voters interested in
the issues as set forth in the platform
| should see to it that they help elect
a delegation to the county convention
| who will vote for the nomination OF
such me- only as are in full sympathy
with the platform. A man who is
not in full sympathy with such meas
ures, but is willing to pledge himsel.
for them, is of very little good. Such
a man is only bound by the letter, and
things come up in the Legislature very
often where a pledge can be broken
in spirit but not in letter. If a man
is so inclined, he can easily
find excuses for not doing as he is
expected to do. For those interested
in reforms the only safe nomination
to make is that of a man whom you
know to be in full accord with those
reforms. The caucus is the import
ant feature of our present election
system. At the caucus the issue is
decided. Remember this and attend
