MEET
TODAY GIVEN UP
COMMITTEE WHICH ISSUED CALI
DECIDES THAT ATTORNEY
GENERALS RULING BE-
CALMED SITUATION.

With the state primary less than
two weeks away, the Roosevelt COM
mittee decided this morning that the
conference scheduled for this after
noon would be futile and the plan
was abandoned to swing the Repuh-
lican convention to T. r.. No meet
ing was held and the leaders return
ed TO their homes this afternoon.
The consensus of opinion was that
the ruling OF Attorney General C. c.
Caldwell. declaring that no names of
presidential candidates could be
written upon the primary ballot, had
served to becalm the political waters
OF the state and that other means
might have to be adopted. 1t is not
believed that the supreme court will
be appealed to in the matter.
There was some talk that m&nda-
mus proceedings might be started for
the purpose OF compelling the print
ing of the ballots in order that names
of candidates might be written in for
their presidential preference, but it
was believed by the hackers of Col.
Roosevelt that it would be hard to
organize the state sufficiently in the
remaining length OF time to accom-
plish any definite good.

story of the heroism of a 16-year-old
Italian volunteer in the Russian

sode earned one OF the two ST.

pressing wish that some one
would silence or capture a gun
which was stationed at troublesome
proximity to the Russian trenches.

ed on his stomach for hundred
yards, located the position Of the
gun, returned from the danger zone,
and conferred with his trench fellows

WESLEYAN, ELECTED SEC
RETARY, S. ID. WING OF
AMERICAN SOCIETY.

Vermillion, S. D.-A permanent
organization of a South Dakota sec
tion of the American Chemical So
.ciety was effected at a recent meet
ing of the chemists of the state at
the University of South Dakota. DR..
A. N. Cook of the University of South
Dakota was elected president.
The other officers of the new So
ciety are vice-president, Professor A.
b. Dunbar of State college; secretary
Professor II. I. Jones of Dakota Wes-
leyan; treasurer, DR.. Harry Hadley
of the state food and drug depart
ment; councillor of the national So
.ciety, DR.. Oliver Overman, of Huron
college.
Vermillion, in accordance with the
recent decision of the national coun-
Gil at the meeting in Illinois, will be
the headquarters of the South Da-
kota section. 1t is probable that Wa
tertown will be the next place of
meeting in the fall in conjunction
with the meeting of the South Da-
kota Scientific society.
There were present at the meeting
about twenty chemists. The following
papers were read: "The Nitro-Phenyl
Ethers," Fl !. Jones; chemical Re

ROOD DISCLAIMS
RESPONSIBILITY
SECRETARF OF STATE SAYS
THAT COUNTY AUDITORS,
AND NOT HE, ARRANGE
CANDIDATES. NAMES.

Frank M. Rood, secretary of state
and candidate for reelection on the
Republican ticket, was in Mitchell
yesterday on anti-primary trip over
the state. He took occasion to deny
that he was responsible for placing
the names of certain candidates on
the state ticket in the order in which
they appear, as it is a matter entirely
each county.
Certain candidates." said Mr..
Rood, care expressing dissatisfaction
privately and through the newspa-
pers concerning the position of their
names on the primary ballot. Very
naturally each candidate desired his
name to be placed first, and had I
any authority in the matter, would
be glad, if possible, 70 accommodate
everyone in this connection. Unfor-
tunately only one name can be first.
elm fact the law seems to be that
II have not the slightest jurisdiction
over the arrangement of the primary
ballot. 1t is the opinion of the At
torney Generals office that the whole
matter is in the hands of the various
county auditors who attend to the
printing of the ballots. AS secretary
of state | certify the list Of state
candidates to the county auditors,
but they have full authority to ar
range the names, and have certainly
never suggested the contrary.
off candidates desire particular
position on the ballot they should
appeal to the county auditors. They
are the proper officials to determine
whether a candidate whose name
commences with "E'' for example,
is on that account entitled to advant-
age of position throughout the state.
may say that if this rule is to be
adopted it might be well that future
candidates arrange to be born with
names we'll up toward the head OF
the alphabet, but it is for the coun-
ty auditors to determine upon the
advisability as we'll as the possible
consequence of adopting such a rule.

VETS CLAIM THE
FALL ELECTION
SAY A MAJORITY OF VOTERS
LAST MONTH WE'RE AGAINST
PROHIBITION, DESPITE.
ADDED DRY TOWNS

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Political matt.
ematicians who have been compiling
data since the recent city elections in
South Dakota, to discover from ad-
vance figures the drift of public sem
timent and the chances for and
against South Dakota remaining in
the anti-prohibition column at the
general election in November. now
have completed their task.
The figures as compiled from oni-
led, they declare indicate that It by
no means is certain that South Dako-
ia will enter the dry column in Mo-
|vember, as has been assumed by
some after superficial survey Of the
returns from the annual municipal
elections. This assumption was bas-
ed on the fact that the "drys" gained
a dozen or more towns at the April
elections.
The compilers of the figures now
have secured the total vote cast in
104 of the cities and towns which
voted on license at the April elec-
tions. According to the census. re-
turns the 1O4 cities and towns which
have an aggregate population of 142,-
902. From this total the "wets'' Sc
cured a majority of 1,45O votes.
Basing the forecast on this major
ity and the aggregate population of
the 104 cities and towns as compar-
ed with the total population of South
Dakota, the compilers of the figures
say this indicates that notwithstand-
ing claims to the contrary. South
Dakota will, unless there is a phe-
nomenal change between this time
and the time of the November cleo
tion, be captured by the anti-prohibi-
tion forces at the November election
by majority ranging anywhere from
5000 to 10000.
They also point out that the gains
of the vets at the March elections,
which were held in the smaller
towns in the townships of the state,
indicate that the country precincts
and the farming communities, where
prohibition sentiment was supposed
to be almost unanimous, are by no
means in favor of statewide prohibi-
tion. .a a !ss s,5;s.sss
The figures are interesting at this
stage of the campaign, when the pro-
hibition and anti-prohibition forces
of South Dakota are about to open
the last lap of the fight for and
against a dry" Dakota.

vERNlmLIoN RIFLE CLUB.
