THE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
Class of Three Graduate With
Honors from Our Public
Schools

The first graduation excerises to
be given by our public schools
were staged at the Grand opera
house Monday evening, May 9th,
and three of the students were
presented with diplomas which
marked the complement of the
course with honor to themselves
and to the schools. The stage was
appropriately decorated with the
class colors, flowers and blossom
ing plants and high school penant
was flung to the breezes.
Rev. j. w. Lucas opened the
ceremonies with the invocation
which was followed by a musical
number by the Philip Concert
Band and vocal duet by Misses
Roush and Ince. Joseph f.. kurka,
the first graduate on The program,
gave an grafton, taking for his
subject the Power of Money" "
and presented his discussion in a
very able manner Miss Marie
Lucas rendered a vocal solo that
was kneenly appreciated by the
audience and the flag drill by the
pupils of the third grade brought
forth a storm of applause. Miss
Altha Garrett took as the subject
for her commencement address,
Temperance" and gave very
creditable rendition of her theme.
A song by Misses Roush ard Gust
and Messrs. Warner and Cunning
ham was greatly enjoyed by those
present and was followed by a re-
citation, entitled, "Ihe Debating
Society, by Miss Mary Jensen, One
of the graduates, which was render.
ed in a most laudable manner.
The next number was a concert
overture by the band, after which
f. l., Keith, president of the
school board gave short talk
and presented the graduates with
their diplomas. Prof. Warne,
spoke few words on how tht
school could be made more efficien
and better, the exercises closing
with good night song by th'
chorus.

GEO. EGAN'S FRIENDS ANSWER
$1,000 Reward Offered by the
Business Men of Sioux
Falls for Proof

We, the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers of the state of South
Dakota, each for himself agrees
to pay the sum of 800 to the child
ren's Home of Sioux Falls on proof
that Hon. Geo. w. Egan was ever
prosecuted or tried for the crime
of rape in Iowa or in any other
state in this union. This offer is
made in answer to a charge that
appeared on the front page of the
Sioux Falls Daily Press of May "a,
1912. We brand said charge as a
wilful, malicious and deliberate
faIsehood, issued at this time in
the campaign for the sole purpose
of injurjng the Hon. Geo. w.
Egan outside of his home county.
The Press copied said charge from
the editorial page of the Sioux City
Tribune. The Editor of the Tri-
bune, A. E. Beaumont, prior to
accepting his present position was
Editor of the Sioux Falls Daily
Press. Mrs. Beaumont, wife of
said editor, is now holding a posi-
ton under the present state admin
stration as teacher in the State
Normal School at Madison, S. D..
We condemn the action of the
Sioux Falls Press in making a
scurrilous attack on distinguish
ed citizen when he is out of the
city and has no opportunity to de.
fend himself.

Barth for Clerk of Courts

Belvidere Times: The fight for
Clerk of Courts has centered some
time ago between two candidates,
Andy g Ricketts,, of the county
seat and f. G. Barth, of Belvidere.
1t is not necessary to make a loud
noise about Barth's qualifications
to those who know him, for to
know the man is to support him at
the primaries. Mr.. Barth has been
a resident of Stanley county for
several years and knows just what
it is to pay taxes here. He is q
we'll educated man, college bred
and has had experience in cam
paign work, altho he has had nev-
er before asked the people of
Stanley county for an election in
any capacity. He is a conscientious
young man with high ideals and
regards character the most price
less asset a man can possess. At
present Mr.. Barth is farming his
fine farm one mile from Belvidere
and has out a large crop. In what
ever the man undertakes he gives
the work his undivided attention,
as he will do in the capacity of
Clerk of Courts.

Sioux Falls Special: Final re-
ports which have been received
from practically every voting pre-

George w. Egan, the candidate of
the plain people for governor of
South Dakota, will at the primary
election next Tuesday be declared

There has been a steady gain dur
ing the past few weeks in Egan
strength, Notwithstanding the un-
scrupulous fight which has been
waged against him by the bosses
and factionist. That George w.
Egan will prove the winner next
Tuesday is safe two to one bet. The
common people of the state and the
business and professional interests
are weary of factional rule and on
Tuesday will declare for new deal
in South Dakota by nominating
George w. Egan to the governor

A vote for Richards or Grigsby
is q vote indirectly for Gamble, and
all voters who are opposed to
Gamble should vote for Sterling in
order to make their votes count in
any manner. Richards can have
no hope for the nomination for
United States senator on account
of his being located in the same
city with one United States senator
who will hold over for nearly three
years, regardless of the results on
June 4th. and also the fact that
Richards was unable to carry his
own county for the State senate at
the last election, is pretty fair
proof of the hopelessnees of his
ability to win.
