the ideas of the democratic party
but the ideas and principles of the
republican party and the adherence
of the democratic party would by
such usurpation be either forced out
Of their own party or else be obliged
to support principles totally antag-
onistic to their honest and candid
belief. / do not believe that the
legislature intended any such result
or that any court would sustain
construction Of section "a which
would result in so anomalous con
dition.
am, therefore, Of the opinion
that in order to entitle a voter to
participate in the primary of any
party, he must have at the last cleo
ton at which he voted supported
majority at least of the candidates
OF that political party the nomina-
ton of which candidates are now
governed by the provisions of
chapter 1O7 and that the mere fact
that he has voted for a majority of
the candidates Of that party where
the nominations are not governed by
chapter lO7 does not qualify him to
take part in the primaries of such
party.
Hoping that no citizen of Webster
or Day county, who is not sincerely
and truly republican, will attempt
to subviate the intent and purpose
Of the caucus law by offering to vote
at the caucus Of party to which he
does not belong and believing that
there are few electors, If any, in Day
county who are unprincipled enough

is STILL OF THOSE PARTIES

There has been so much contro-
versy over the primary causus law
that State Central Committeeman
John w. Arthur wrote to E. w.
Taylor, of Aberdeen, member of the
law firm of Campbell & Tayloy,
recognized as among the best posted
lawyers of South Dakota, for an
opinion and has received the same
and it is as follows:
The question presented is, what
election is meant in section "a of
chapter 107 of laws of 1905, CON-
monty known as the caucus law,
wherein it is provided as follows:
Gan elector who supported and
voted for majority of the candi-
dates of any particular party at the
last preceding election at which he
voted and who is qualified elector
of his precinct shall be eligible to
vote at the primary of such party"
In determining the meaning of
the words, "At the last preceding
election at which he voted" the
purpose and intent of chapter 107
and the nominations governed by
the chapter should, / think, be
taken into consideration and taking
these in the reverse order, we find
the only nominations which are gov
erned by that chapter are nomina-
tons of candidates for representa-
tives in congress, state, judicial and
county officials, presidential electors
and delegates to the national. state
and county conventions, this is found
in section of the chapter. And
nomination for candidates for all
city officials elected at the city cleo.
ton, this is found in section AZ of
the chapter and it will be seen by
careful examination OF all the sec.
tons of this chapter that township
elections and school elections are
not governed by this chapter. From
this / conclude that the 'last pre-
ceding election 1T which he voted
refers to an election the nominations
for which are governed by the chap
ter. Consequently it would be
immaterial what ticket the electors
supported or voted at the last pre-
ceding school election or township
election, as it cannot be presumed
that the legislature intended to fix
as basis of the right to participate
in party primaries and elections
which is not governed by the pri-
maries of such parties.
Another reason for this conclusion
rests on the fact that it is quite gen.
orally conceded and accepted that
school elections and township cleo
tions are not strictly partisan in
character and it cannot be presumed
that the legislature intended any
thing else by section "a, than to-
provide that in order to qualify as
elector to vote at the primaries of a
political party, he must be partisan
of that party and his affiliations to
the party cannot be tested by his
utilization at an election which is not
partisan election.

Selection Of Assistant Chief IS

COUNCIL ORDERS INVESTIGATION
Joint Committee From Three Fire
Companies VIII Be Summoned to
Why Provisions OF Ordinance Have
J Not Been Carried Out.

Because the joint committee OF the
the three fire companies of the city
elected Tor the purpose of choosing
an assistant chief of the department.
Assistant Chief D. NJ Baxter, whose
term expired last August is still in
Office and there is no prospect of
his successor being elected in the near
future unless some action is taken by
the council.
The matter was brought up last
night when Councilman Harris offer-
ed in the common council an ordin
ance repeating the ordinance giving
the volunteer firemen the right to
select an assistant chief to be APPROX
ed by the council. Mr.. Harris explain
ed the situation and after some dis
cussion the matter was referred to the
fire department and water committee
President Jones stated that he would
instruct the committee to summon the
members of the joint committee OF
firemen to appear before the council
committee and explain the reason for
delaying the selection OF Mr. Baxter's
successor.
( It seems that the East End Com
pany, No. 2, which is entitled TO the
assistant chief this year, according to
an agreement as. to succession, chose
Mr.. G. A. LEM, Jr., but Mr.. LEM was
not acceptable to the North End and
Central Companies and the six mem.
bers representing. these companies OH
the Joint committee declined TO vote
for Mr.. LEM. Mr.. D. NJ Roy was
chosen by the six members, but he
promptly declined to serve, so the mat
ter has been at a standstil.
Last night petition signed by every
member OF the East End company and
asking for the appointment Of Mr..
Lenzas assistant chief, was presented
to the council.
Councilman r. Lee Davis, in discus

that he believed the chief OF the lie.

True, he used rough measures with
a gang of timber thieves who depre-
dated on his cypress. True, he shot
two men whom he caught cutting the
levees. A band of lumbermen had
their headquarters in the swamp back
of him, and had long terrorized the
delta. One day they met a negro
tenant of his in the road. and beat
him. Duke routed them out, and was
none too gentle about it.
And it was as certainly true that
he raised game-cocks and race horses

he went to town.

he unused.
Alice ran back and spoke to her
mother; Mrs. Ashton stopped her
rocking and looked up, straight at
Duke-straight through him, as he
thought. Some way it did not seem
SO very amusing for him to go and
beard his ancient enemy in her den-
When he and Joe had concocted the
clever excuse which now rested in
his pocket, they thought it very fun
ny; they laughed and laughed. Both
of them were anxious to be present
and see what Mrs. Ashton would do.
But he stood now alone with his toe
to the scratch, and hadn't the slight
est curiosity to go on.
He felt in his pocket. The letter
was safe. He gritted his teeth, turned
down the slope of the levee, and en-
tered the lane that led to Ivanhoe.
Mrs. Ashton and Alice could not be-
lfeve it; the man was actually COM
ing to their house.
When Duke leaned over and un-
latched the pasture gate, Alice disap-
peared through the back hall door.
Then he saw her on the gallery, whis-
pering to the other one. When he
halted his horse and opened the inner
gate, both the girls vanished around a
corner of the gallery.
He clenched his lips and plodded
on; the row would be full of stumps,
but he meant to pillow it to the bitter
end.
Mrs. Ashton rose like a figure from
a Noah's ark and moved stif1y to the
gallery. He saw that peculiar toss OF
the head with which she always
passed him. 1t was not amusing. She
stood at the top of the steps and
waited.
He dismounted at the inner gate,
hitched his horse, and tried to walk
in very stately style up the path; but
he stumbled on a root, and thought
he heard laughter behind the curtains.

GIFTS FOR THE BABY.
Dainty Trinkets Designed for the
Household Tyrant.

A little ring chain of gold. so fine as
to be almost invisible, is made to pass
around a tiny wrist and fasten to a
finer ring, inside the hand, so securing
the ring if it is large enough to slip on
easily, which is usually the case with
a baby's first ring.
Baby armlets made of narrow
shirred pink or blue ribbon and
trimmed with diminutive bows or lace
rosettes look like Liliputian garters,
but are meant to hold up baby sleeves
IN place of the fancy pins generally
used, says the New York Sun.
Small powder pun bags. sponge
bags, ETC., are made in pink or blue
silk or lingerie stuff over silk and
daintily embroidered with the baby's
name and garland design. The
sponge bags have, of course, a thin
rubber lining.
Lovely little comb, brush and pow
der sets are shown in white, pink or
blue celluloid, painted by hand, and
are really more babyish and prettier
in the baby basket than costlier sets
of enamel, silver or ivory.
Padded cloths hangers, covered with
pink or blue ribbon and reproductions
in miniatures of the pretty coat and
bodice hangers made for women, are
used for baby's cloaks and dresses that
must not be crushed and rumpled.
