Valiant went with them to the

There was q hiatus this time in
which he could hear his heart beat.
In that single exclamation the major
seemed to have exhausted his vocabu-

doorway weighed like . hundred at

Instead, the thought Of her palely-c

Again he felt the fierce clutch Of small
fingers, as they fought with his in that

RICHARDS ON

SAYS SOME DEMOCRATS MAY

TO IMPRISONMENT FOR
IGNORING HIS LAW.

Huron, S. D.-Commenting upon
the recent ruling of the Postmaster
General, relative to postmaster prim-
aries to- endorse candidates for APP
pointment in South Dakota, Mr..
Richards says:
"The trouble is not a Washington
but in South Dakota. There is no
n to recommend candidates for the
appointment of postmasters but the
legal party organization in this state
as provided by the primary law; be-
u there are no democrats con-
g%ressional representatives from South
Dakota in Washington and the Presi-
lent. and the Postmaster General of
course do not know who to appoint.
Section 1874 of the South Dakota
primary law provides for fine ana
imprisonment for failure to comply
with the law. The people are en-
titled to hold postmaster primaries
now and vote to endorse their choice
for ~postmasters in South Dakota, un-
der the party law; but the irrespon-
sible, lawless democratic leadership
in this state fails to live up to the Law
and sets it's W legal party macnln
cry in motion. Two or three usurp-
ers have swiped the democratic fed.

ut will be amusing to note the
democratic appeal for votes for theil
party ticket this fall after their fail,
ing to hold postmaster primaries
thereby denying the pople their right

In addition to the polo game, there
will be a baseball game and other
sports, music and speaking. The pic
mic will open at 10 o'clock in the
