NOTICE OF REPUBLICAN MEETING

Believing that it is contrary to re-
publican principles for 9 select few,
aotusted by selfish motives, to secretly
choose the delegates to the National
Convention, and believing that there
should be general conference, to
which all republicans be invited, for
the purpose of proposing candidates
for delegates to be submitted to the
voters at the primary election, and
furthermore believing that there
should be some opportunity for an ex-
preston as to whether the delegates to
be elected, be committed to .he oandi-
dacy OF only one candidate, or whether
the delegates should be given latitude
to support aud vote for the strongest
aud most logical candidate for presi.
dent, and with view to the general
welfare of the party. conference is
hereby called at Mitchell, South De-
kots. on Friday, April Z, 1916, at IL
O'Clock q. IN. which all republicans in
the state, favoring party harmony and
the elimination of individual rule, are
invited to attend. Dated Pierre, South

commercial club in the persons of A
Q. Forney and John Davidson. and

Chapman. A. O. johnson and A.
Shreckengaust, attended this meeting
and from their report We hardly blame
them for wanting change of som.
kind as they are pretty much in the
same boat as Edgemont.
After being burdened by the last two
sets OF county commissioners it is only
reasonable that something should be
none. The general opinion prevails
that the charge could not be worse for
any one concerned, as things are about
at the limit now and the change might
be for the best. In any event Mr..
Schilllng, who is circulating the peti.
tlop, is meeting with very good success
IN obtaining names and the matter will
without doubt go thru with flying col.
ors. 1t is mandatory upon the board
that they shall re-district the county
within twenty days after suoh petition
with the required number OF sieners is
presented to them. The county Judge
and the county auditor under the law
act with the board when the redistriot-
ing is done.

ON TUESDAY

Governor Frank M. Byrne, of Pierre,
was an arrival in the city Tuesday
evening for two days visit at the
State Home as guest Of Col T. g.
Orr and also ss a guest of the local
Commercial Club.
The Governor arrived Monday even
ing at Hoo p. m. from Rapid City
where he spent the day and was met
at the depot by a committee Of Com
mercial Club members and by Col. Orr
who took him to the State Home for
the evening. He was accompanied by
Attorney Chas. Howe, of Sturgis, II. s.
Redrick, Of Cham mberlain, and j. l.
WinRdeld, the state bank examiner, of
Mitchell.
Tuesday morning was spent at the
Home and at noon dinner at which
he was the guest of honor was given at
the Evans by the Commercial Club.
About fifty of the business men of the
city as we'll as several out of town rep
resentatives from Edgemont, Oelrichs
and Smithwick we're present. Follow
ing the meal E. B. Adams acting as
toast master called upon the Governor
for short talk to which he responded
in very neat little speech, expressing
his pleasure at being preGent and at
meeting &c, nany Of the Hot Syringe
people.
j. L. Wingaeld was next called upon
and responded in like manner as did
Attorney Chas. Howe, Of Sturgis. All
three of the gentlemen touched upon
our irrigation situation and expressed
belief that we we're bound to get 1t
eventually. Mr.. Howe, who lives ad-
jacent to the Belle Fourche project,
told Of some of the benefits to be de-
rived from project of this kind
Immediately after the dinner E. r.

of the large irrigation dam at the

a diner for the benefit of The Casper
people. The diner is attached at Ere.
mont at $50 p M. and remains with
the train until it gets to Oakdale at
9:l5 p. m.
It is said that the Northwestern ex-
plains that this is an experiment and is
to be tried because this is the train
that has the heaviest traffic. They say
that in the fall they are forced to put
on two sleepers on this train 40 the
travel is heavy enough to warrant it.
Local comment against this action of
the road was heard in several places
yesterday. The Black Hills people
feel that after all the effort they made
to show the railroad officials what they
thought would help both the road and
the travellers in the Hills the road
should have done something to test
the matter out. When the plan was
put up to the officials of the North
western and some of these men paid
the city visit, as we'll as the other
cities of the Hills, they stated that they
were afraid the Casper people would
demand diner service if they give the
Black Hills folks that service. It now
seems that Casper, and the other towns
along that line, are to get that service
without any effort from the road but
the section Of the country that made
the biggest effort to get it failed abso-
lutely to benefit by their efforts.
1t looks as though. the local people
who are complaining say, that he who
asks shall not receive"
