resignation as pastor of the First Pres
byterian church last Sunday morning

dispose of it at the morning service

during that time he showed himself a

with the true missionary spirit. These
qualities impressed the congregation
and friends of the church SO favorably,
and the church has enjoyed such a
growth, materially and spiritually, that

If the spirit of the new primary law
is carried out in South Dakota next
spring a special primary will be held
on Tuesday, April 4, to select delegates
to the national conventions. The regu-
lar primary date fixed in the new law
is the first Tuesday in June-June 6
next year-and this Is only one day in
advance of the date fixed for the re-
publican national convention. It Is
plain that this republican convention
forces the alternative condition, an
early primary for national delegates
but the law is not clear on whom the
authority is imposed to say whethe,
such an emergency exists.
