The Republican party is strong in
South Dakota. 1t has nothing to
fear from its enemies. 1t is in some
peril from its friends. A rule or
ruin policy, by whomsoever promoted
is selfish and will breed disaster.
Persisted in, it would turn the state
over to the Democracy, as it ough,
to.
The fundamental principles OF
Republicanism are as potential today
as they have eve been. They have
formed the basis of the party's use.

About twenty friends and mem

The custom of baptizing by i'm
mersion is as old as Christianity
itself, and tho somewhat fallen in
to disuse, indicates true Christian

in these days of religious careless

mended.
