Aberdeen, S. d., June 1.-The second
annual session of the South Dakota
Travelling Mems association opened
here this afternoon with President
Charles l. Grow of Aberdeen in the
chair.
The interest shown in the gathering
is unriyalled by anything of the sort
that has ever occurred in the state, in
the way of enthusiasm and the deter
mination to have a good time. The
streets of the city are lavishly deco
rated with flags and bunting, and
every home in Aberdeen has been
thrown open to the knights of the
grip and their wives, in order to care
for the overflow from the hotels. Over
500 travelling men had arrived in time
for the opening session, and the at
tendance when the evening trains get
in today will reach fully 700. Four
bands are in attendance.
The fight for the next convention
has already begun. Sioux Falls and
Mitchell are the principal competitors
for the honor, and the hustlers for
those towns are striving earnestly to
win.

QUERIED SPALDING.
EXCUSE HE GAVE FOR HIS VOTE
FOR SALARY GRAB. !.
New Rockford Audience Had the Ex-
Congressman in Hot Water-Asked
Questions Which He Found Difficult
to Answer.

New Rockford, N. D., June 1.--Ex-
Congressman Spalding spoke here last
evening, and was not very well satis-
fed at the results of the gathering, es-
pecially because of the string of ques-
tions fired at him, which he could not
satisfactorily answer. He was asked
why he had voted for the salary grab,
and excused himself on the ground
that only five members of the house
had voted against the proposition. He
said that he had been a reformer since
1882, and someone wanted to know
what he was doing during sixteen
of these years when he was holding
office, and why he did not discover
until turned down two years ago that
his former associates were so bad. He
could not satisfactorily answer.
Asked about Canadian wheat tariff, he
said that was question which did not
matter. It was simply whether the
senate had any right to propose a
revenue bill or not-in fact that it was
a qlfsrreL between the two houses, in
whia a1e farmers were not interested
at al, The meeting was not howl
ing success for the Office seekers.
