Pierre, S. D.-The first veto Of the
session was on House bill IA, which
sought to clear up old mining cor
porations, and was returned on the
ground of unconstitutionality as class
legislation.
The resolution for a constitutional
convention was favorably reported
Saturday but the indications are not
favorable for its getting the requir-
ed two-thirds for getting It to the
people.
The bank guaranty ghost got out
in the open Saturday by the over
turning Of an adverse report Of the
banking committee on the bill. The
report was amended on plea for a
hearing for the bill, and does not in
dicate what the fate will be on Anal
passage.

out in intent will mean that every
Old soldier OF the state who took q
part in the battle Of Gettysburg, will

is asked now. it is understood that
an appropriation for their expenses

presence of $1,000 cheering citizens,
Colonel ROOSEVELT congratulated

Colonel Roosevelt declared he had

utterance was greeted with storm OF
applause, and when Governor John

that he might be hailed again as the

deafening.
Mr.. Roosevelt devoted his attention
almost wholly to the recall of the ju.

states. He stated his endorsement
OF the constitutional amendment coon
to be presented to California voters
which provides for this method OF
