Beadle county republican minority
lproposalman, has just returned from
the capital and says that the report
| sent out from Pierre that Mr.. Rich

Richards principles We're adopted
Mr. Walmarth did not cast the Beadle
county vote on governor; but never
theless the sentiment of the proposal
committee was so overwhelmingly for
MI Richards that many counties
passed and did not vote at all. Near
ly one-half or over $4,000 votes
were nevertheless cast for Mr.. Rich
ards against the silent protest of
Mr. Wilmarth by refusing to vote or
present Mr.. Richards name to the
committee for consideration.
Mr.. Wilmarth says there is no
doubt but Mr.. Richards had major
llty of the proposal committee and
would have been proposed if ne had
consented to become candidate he

Mr. Richards was in Huron at the
time the committee was CONSIDERING

Pierre when he had satisfied himself
that he could not get the proper plat

efforts through representation by
ignoring his own proposal as a candi-
date, his friends undoubtedly will in
