A Pretty Surprise Party

Wednesday evening was made
memorable to about forty of our
young people who assisted in
celebrating the oath anniversary
Of the birth of Oscar Rolstad.
They met with malice, afore-
thought and premeditative, and
calmly proceeded to take the
young man by surprise, from
which state however, he quickly
recovered and enacted the part
of host with charming hospi-
tality. Dancing was indulged
in, and supper was served that
would suit the taste of the most
fastidious epicure, and the
guests dispersed with a mutual
feeling of an evening we'll and
pleasantly spent, wishing MIR.
Rolstad many happy returns of
the day.

The second surprise was the
Endorsement accorded to Wilbur
s. Glass for congress; even the
stalWart element offered no op-
position, in fact, barring one or
TWO insurgents on the committee
the support accorded Mr.. Glass
from the stalWart crowd, the
bulk OF the committee remaining
silent.
Th third surprise came when
1t leaked out that Nj. Glass h.in-
self, who virtually led the fight
in tle list ! ,gisl lure fot tie m
surgents' cause, Was opposed t,
declaring for CraM ford, it having
been ascertained 1nat Ny. Craw-
ford's home county lBeadleI had
already declared, thru its lepuo-
llcan )mmluuee, for Hall and
Parker for congress
The fourth supr Sc came when
1T was learned that Mr.. Craw-
ford's personal representatives,
among whom was j. d. McLaugh-
In, superintendent of the deaf
mute school at Sio * Falls, who
came up posunaste to attend the
committee meeting, had for day S
been planning to capture the
committee and to send a deleg =
tion to the state convent on divid-
ed between the Crawford d and The
Kiutredge element.
These personal representatives
offerd to divide on the basis of
six to Kittredge and seven with
'Jhe chairman) to Crawfordites.
This offer was rejected on The
ground that since the state law
provides for primaries this sys-
TEN should be used in selecting
delegates.
The committee. aside from
pronouncing ;or Glass for con-.
gress, declared for Taft for the
presidency without opposition.
The battle in Codington prom
ises to be somewhat warm, altho
