On the first page of this issue APP
pears a call for a progressive republi-
can conference at Huron, Thursday,
February 24th, 1910. All progressives
are invited to attend and help to
formulate the plans for supporting
and continuing progressive policies in
South Dakota. Read the call, and
then make your plans to attend the
conference.
South Dakota is to have an official
flag, for which the last legislature
made a small appropriation. Secre-
tary of State Policy will have it made
on the following design which was
adopted last winter. Flag will be a
field of blue, one.third as lorg as
wide, in center d blazing SUI in gold
two-fifths as wide as the width of the
flag. Above this in the arc of a circle
in gold letters will be the words,
"South Dakato," and below in the arc
of a circle, "The Sunshine State" and
on the reverse of the blazing sun print.
ed in blue will be the great seal of
the state. The flag will have a fringe
of gold.
George Smith, proprietor of the
Kingsbury Stock farm, says he is all
sold out of Duroc. Jersey swine for
breeding purposes. George has car
ried an advertisement in several
papers, but the Snap" adv. carried
in the INDEPENDENT brought the great
est number of buyers. Many of the
customers were from this county,
while some obtained through this
paper came from the southern part of
the state. Plant u good adv. and you
can never tell when it will cease to
bear fruit. Auo her stockraiser who
advertised in The INDEPENDENT and
cleaned up a bunch of Poland China
breeding stock is Alfred Anderson, of
Manchester.
A. H. Seymour, our county
superintendent of schools, has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
the office of state superintendent of
public instruction, subject to the will
of the republican voters at the June
primaries. While we do not agree
with him as to his platform adopted
by the staiwarts at Huron February
1st, we have nothing but good words
to say for him as a candidate for that
position, a position from which
politics should be eliminated. Mr.
Seymour is a man of high moral
standing, enthusiastic in educational
work, has made a good county super
intendent, and it is our honest opinion
that, if elected, he would make as
good a state superintendent as any
who have held that office in this state.
