THE BULL MOOSERS
A STORMY STATE CONVENTION
AT MITCHELL NO NOM
NATIONS.

Mitchell, April IL. - The bull
moose crashed into South Dakota
politics with all the noise and the
snorting of its namesake in the
woods of northern Maine. Acrimon-
ious debate marked two stormy ses-
sions of the first state convention
or the progressive party in South Da-
kota. approximately sixty delegates
attended.
The preliminary session opened
with all the felicity of a sewing cir
Gle, but the reports of the resolu-
lions and the organization cimmit-
tees Jared the convention with a
storm that did not subside until the
final adjournment.
By the action of the convention
10 nominations will be made until a
later meeting, six weeks hence, at
Huron. An executive committee
vas named to guide the course of
the party for that period and a set
of resolutions adopted that declar-
ed for a clear cut progressive or
ganization and the approval of the
policies of the national party organ
ization.
Only by a sudden turn in the
trend of the affairs of the conven-
tion was the determination reached
not to name state or congressional
candidates. +. l.. Sem, of Dead
wood, the center of the fight in the
convention and leader of the opposi-
ton to the plans of the provisional
committee, demanded a roll call on
the question of making nominations,
and by credentials vote of all the ac-
credited delegates based on the re-
publican vote in 1912 won by the
margin of 10,017 to S.S71. With
this showing of strength by the Sem
delegates the meeting closed with
the vote to limit the tenure of Office
of the executive and central COM
mittees to the holding of the next
convention.
G.. G. Van Metre, of Murdo, was
named chairman of the party execu-
tive committee, and /. II. Jones, of
Huron, secretary. The other mem
bers are John Sutherland of Pierre,
Joseph Janousek of Yankton, NJ. G..
Carlisle of Brookings, w. f. Corri-
gan of Aberdeen, Oscar Olson OF

was prepared to give any assurance
hat he would accept the assign
men,. Some of the delegates want
ed to tender him the nomination
anyway and give him the privilege
of accepting or rejecting. Others
thought IL advisable to communicate
with him and learn whether he
would take the nomination. Still
others expressed the view that Sen

PUPILS OF CITY SCHOOLS PA
RADE THE STREETS IN THE
INTEREST OF BONDS.

Over seven hundred pupils of the
lIadison city schools in line paraded
the streets this afternoon. The
demonstration was in favor of vot-
ing bonds to the amount of $780,
600 for an addition to central
building for high school purposes, at
mex Tuesdays election. If the pu-
pills, those most interested in the
betterment of conditions, could vote,
the bond election would be assured,
and all over with-except the cheer
ing and school yells.
Really, Madison needs the i'm
provement for the benefit of the
children, the taxpayers can afford it
- and the city ought to have il.
The state has been generous
in providing the State Nor
NAL school for the city, and now
the people of Madison should be SUI
ficienliy generous and patriotic to at
least provide for themselves what is
necessary in the way of adequate
high school facilities. The present
building is wholly lacking in SUM-
cient room to accommodate the stu
dents, and it is mighty poor policy
to attempt to conduct a school or
any other business without keeping
up with the needs of the enterprise,
whatever it may be.
In this election, on this particular
question, the women of the city are
eligible to vote, and they should all
visit the polls next Tuesday and reg
lister their votes. If the men voters
should be so short-sighted, some of
them, as to attempt TO defeat the
bond issue, it would be an excellent
time for the women to teach them a
lesson. Come to think about it, the
success of the bonds is in the hands
of the women voters, and if they
lose out-why, of curse Wen
blame it upon the women!

So Years of Common Sense
in Clothes Making

It's the elimination of sixty-eight years

1t meant studying every little operation
from cutting the cloth to sewing on the

Here's another point: Cutting the cloth
for twenty suits at once not only means
doing it better, it also means saving time
and money.
That saving gives you better cloth,

his wife and children would be with

"Now you have paid 81 on account

will have been paid. II you fail to
make a payment you will be brought
