Monday evenings Minneapolis Jour
nal had the following interesting item:
With optimism born OF what they
stated to be the best business outlook
South Dakota has ever had as now
within them, which means, incidental
ly, they said, that Minneapolis will
have good business as we'll. DR.. Rob.
ert l.. Slagle, DR.. A. n. Hume, Prof.
James Wilson and A. e. Hitchcock,
prominently identified with education
in that state, arrived today to meet
Chamber of Commerce men at a
luncheon at the Dyckman and talk
over the brilliant prospects. DR.. Hume
goes tomorrow to Watertown, S. d., to
address a meeting Of a branch of the
South Dakota Development associa-
ton, DR.. Slagle goes to Sioux Falls for
a development conference, and Mr..
Hitchcock will go back tonight, for
things are stirring in South Dakota,
they said, and they cannot be away
long. S. e. Morris, president of the
Western National bank OF Mitchell,
came with the party. A. e. Chamber
lain, development commissioner of the
Great Northern road, whose guests
they We're, took them to the trading
floor of the Chamber Of Commerce,
after which the Dyckman luncheon
brought a number Of prominent grain
men uptown to meet them.
1T was expected that late today
plans would be formed by which Min
neapolis grain men will work in con-
nection with the South Dakota men in
anticipation of a busy a and for
the general promotion of agriculture
and agricultural education and de-
velopment in South Dakota. Whether
to organize a new association, or to
pledge their assistance to the South
debatable point that will be settled
later.
1--WE are getting together for NUT
ual profit and interchange of views
said Mr.. Chamberlain.
'Dr. Slagle is the head of the state
college at Bookings, DR.. Hume is ag-
economist at the college, and Prof. Will
son is head of the experiment station,
while Mr.. Hitchcock, who is from Nit
chell, is a member Of the state board
of regents.
IAN South Dakota is filled with
optimism and there is reaso for it,
Mr.. Hitchcock said today. There was
never so good a crop outlook, and, by
contrast with the unfavorable condi-
tons existing a year ago at this time,
the prospect is splendid. AS an illu-
tration of what is going on, there is big
improvement work under way in Nit
chell and in other towns, and the
reeents are speeding 100000 for a
new educational building in Brookings,
$4,000 in Aberdeen, $4,000 at Spear
fish and $35, 900 elsewhere"

DELAY At BATHING BEACH
Money Lacking, Opening May
Not Take Place Till
Late June.

The municipal bathing beach will not
be opened May 80. as was planned by
DR.. w. B. Hudson. superintendent, and
there is a possibility that the opening
will be delayed until the middle of
June or later. Delay by Congress in
passing the District appropriation bill
is the cause of the postponement. 1t is
stated. as there is no money available
with which to maintain the institution.
An appropriation Of $4,000 for the
beach was carried in the appropriation
bill that passed the House, the Senate
increasing the item by $3.50. The
money, however. cannot be used until
the bill has passed both houses and has
received the signature Of the President.
The early opening planned was for the
purpose Of keeping youths away from the
river thereby lessening the danger from
drowning. as guards are provided for the
bathing beach and accidents are no. like
ly to occur. Warm weather OF the past
few days. according to DR.. Hudson, al
ready has prompted a large number OF
boys to make for the rivera practice
that Is expected to increase In popularity
until the bathing beach 10 in operation.
Dr. Hudson stated today that plans fol
operating the beach this season have beer
perfected and that the pool will be opened
at the earliest possible moment. The av-
erage daily attendance at the beach last
year was $50 II Is expected that all at
tendance records will be broken this sum.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. May 2s-Action
taken at thirty-three republican and
twenty-six democratic conventions being
held In Ohio today to select delegates to
the state conventions will probably deter
mine the control OF the state conventions
and will be the crucial test of strength OF
rival factions.
The issue among the republicans is

Taft il to control the convention at
which ohio's six Delegates at large are to
be elected to the republican national con-
vention.
On the democratic side the fight is be-
tween Gov. Harmon and Gov. Wilson.
Harmon supporters will demand that the
democratic state convention adopt the
modified unit rule. Chairman Lavlin of
the republican state executive committee.

the control OF the state convention and

Walter F. Brown OF the republican state

Political Headquarters to Be

Candidates Strength.

One more week will see the. abandon

republican presidential candidates. With

intended to prove their respective claims
to absolute control of the Chicago con-
vention.
Representative Mckinley claimed for

Charles Dick Of Ohio. who is handling

Democratic Estimates.
The estimates of strength made today
by the managers OF the various demo
cratic presidential candidates indicate a
Tightening Of the lines in the race.
Up to the present time approximately
775 delegates to the Baltimore convention
have been elected, OF slightly more than
o-thirds of the total or 1,u94.
The maximum strength claimed by the
respective headquarters today was as fol-
lows:
Clark: Instructed, 1913; pledged. IS; to-
tai, SOL.
Wilson: Instructed and pledged, 2I5;
certain as second choice, so; total, 305.

ule. and still had four more speeches to
make. 1T being after. S o'clock when he
reached the armory.
Hits at Roosevelt Cheered.
Elizabeth seems partial to the Presi-
dent, and every time he raped the col
onel he made a hit with the crowd.
The audience was greatly amused when
he said as preface to his speech: The
man who would be unhappy because he
could not get a second term as President
is unreasonable. but the man who would
be unhappy because he could not get a
third term is even more unreasonable"
: The. President put considerable vim into
his addresses. especially in describing
what he called the unfair treatment he
had received at Col. Roosevelts hands.
Menace of a Third Term.
All through his speech he laid emphasis
upon what he characterized as the danger
of Mr.. Roosevelt's denomination and cleo
ton, and urged the republicans of the
state to see to it that he was not given
the unprecedented honor of a third term.
This was the keynote of practically every
speech he made. During the day he Wis
tied six congressional districts-the third.
fourth. fifth, sixth, eleventh and the
twelfth.
1T is very unwise- and dangerous
thing to depart from that wise tradition
that limits a President. to two terms,
said the President at Plainfield in the
afternoon. 1T is especially unwise with
a man of Mr.. Roosevelt's type. with his
capacity for appealing to the people. his
ability to arouse the elements that are
disturbing in the cofnmun ty, preaching
doctrines of discomfort with his powerful
personality with his unsound constitu-
tional views and with his impotence OF
legal restraint. 1t would be calamity
to put him in the White House again.
Awaited by Throngs.
Last night the President invaded the
progressive stronghold of Hudson county
and spoke in Weehawken, West Hoboken.
Hoboken and Jersey City. and although
1t was late when he arrived in each city,
large crowds awaited him and gave a
cordial reception.
