e G. Baruum Of Winner are still work
ing for change in the boundaries Of the
Chamberlain land district. so that the new
lands to be opened in Mellette and Ben
nett counties in April will be included In
the Gregory district.

against US on the proposition" said Mr..
Hacker today, but we believe We can
have ii reopened. II necessary We In
tend to carry the matter TO President
Taft At the time Of the opening OF
lands in Trip county the new claims
we're taken out Of the Chamberlain dis

more easily reached by railway. The
same thing is true In the present case

for changing the boundaries now than
there was then.

that the Rosebud country Is Fer Taft,
first, last and all the time. Out Of about
500 votes the republicans will have prob
ably s,00e We believe that President
Taft has given the country a progressive
administration: that he Is safe. sane and
sincere We are developing new coun-
try, in which outside capital is needed,
and feel that we are more likely to be
able TO interest investors under Taft than
under Roosevelt"
