Geo r. Farmer reformed by the
midnight train from Sioux Falls where
he attended the get together republi-
can meeting held in that city yester
day. Mr.. Farmer states that there
was a fair attendance. The rain of
yesterday morning prevented many
who planned to travel by automobile
from being present. 1t was estimated,
Mr.. Farmer states that the meeting
was about equally divided between the
factions, and the proceedings of the
meeting seemed to be harmonious.
A fair-sized crowd of spectators as
sembled ut the fair grounds this after
noon to witness the automobile races
put on by the Big 5 Racing Team
which lie giving exhibitions throughout
the country. There were q few auto
mobile parties from surrounding towns
to witness the sport. The events were
interesting and the crowd was appar-
emily pleased with the amusement.
The company was unfortunate in
choosing Saturday afternoon as a date
for the meet, inasmuch as business men
and employees were too busy to take
time off to witness the sport.
