Pierre.-That a voter who refused or
neglected to register has no rights un-
der the primary law is the holding Of
the attorney general in a query from
the states attorney of Kingsbury coun'
ty in a case where a voter refused to
register, but appeared as a Democratic
proposal committeeman for the county
and made a demand upon the county
auditor fer his mileage. This demand
was refused on the ground of failure to
register, and the attorney general
holds that such refusal was the proper
procedure under the law, on the ground
that failure or neglect to register
leaves the voter without the right to
act as a proposal committeeman or to
draw pay for such acts, as they were
Illegal.

Discusses Power of Big Muddy

Vermillion.-Doane Robinson ad-
dressed the weekly convention on the
power possibilities of the Missouri riv-
er in South Dakota, whereby PIT OF
the rivers SIT feet of fall through this
state may be put through turbines,
by means of 10 dams, located at inter-
walls of about Is miles, where narrow
ing banks make such possible, begin
ming a few miles west of Yankton and
reaching to the state line. He showed
that only in South Dakota, of the en-
tire length of the river, were there any
practicable dam sites. This power
proposition is Endorsed by engineers
as entirely practical. A very conserv-
alive estimate gives 800, 900 CONNER
cial horsepower as the low water pro-
duction, while the high water excess
will develop sufficient power to irri-
gate 5000, 900 acres, estimated on
pumping the water against a 400-foot
head. Monday evening he addressed
the engineers on the technical side Of
the Little Bend project. the most fea-
sible of the 10 proposed dams. The
Dillon bill, now before congress, giving
the president power to develop our
river resources with a free hand, was
advocated as a financial solution Of
the problem.

clared that the United States could dis
