party, so far as the declaration of the
party peace conference" can carry it.
Taft and Progressive Program.
r. o. Richards of Hudson was
chairman of the campaign committee
for the primary in June. Governor
Vessey will be the republican leader
ON a platform which is the embodi-
ment of the ideas of the notables of
both the Richards faction and the OPP
posing element headed by E. L. Sem.
The platform says in part:
We commend President Taft for
his reiterated declaration of loyalty
to the Roosevelt principles of pro-
gressive republicanism, and We pledge
his administration the support of the
progressive republicans of South Da-
kota in its efforts to obtain the enact
ment of legislation embodying these
principles.
Says Cannon Must Go.
The dominating issue in the coming
campaign is the wrestling of control
of national legislation from special in
terests entrenched behind Speaker
Cannon of the house. and Leader Aid
rich OF the senate, and their support
ers. 1t is not sufficient that Speaker
Cannon be retired 1t is essential that
a successor be elected who is commit

publicans of South Dakota will not
support candidate for the primary
who does not stand unequivocally on
this platform.

yet exist which should be remedied

B'NAI ABRAHAM SYNAGOGUE

The rapid growth in membership at
the synagogue of the Congregation
B'nai Abraham, at High street and
Thirteenth avenue, it is understood, will
force the officers of the temple seriously
to consider h erection of an addition
to the editice on the vacant plot at the
south side of the present structure.
While the congregation has spent
nearly $4,000 on the interior decorations
during the last few months, the increase
in membership is making it evident
that steps must be taken to increase the
seating capacity. The congregation is
a representative one. inc includes many
of the leading Hebrews of the city.
Commissioner Louis V. Aronson and
William S. Rich have been most active
in advocating the improvements.
The present officers of the synagogue.
who will have charge of the coming i'm
provements, are: Samuel Nadel, presi-
dent; julius Stahl, vice-president;
Henry Hahn, financial secretary; ]
