RULES ON
COUNTY COMMITTEES
Says They Are Made Up of Pre-
cinct Members Elected at
Primary In May. v

Pierre. S. D., Sept. 25.-Some uneer-
eainty over the state seems to exist as
to who are the legal members of the
county central committees, and also
who has the authority to call a meeting
of such committee. The attorney gem
eral has consequently made an official
ruling On the subject, and says in partI
I'm my opinion the precinct commit
teemen elected at the primary eiectio1
held in May, 1916, constitute the county
specifically cover this point, nor is IL
specifically stated in the statute what
constitutes the state central committee.
But the practice has always been for
the different political parties to have
a county committee composed OF n
committeeman from each equity. The
statute provides for the election or
these committeeman from the different
precincts and from the different coun-
ties, and seems to leave 1t to inference
that these committeeman so elected
make up the county and state commit
tees. Section IS of the primary law pro-
vides that the chairman OF the county.
central committee shall be selected by
the candidates, but that the treasurer
shall be selected by the committee. This
is a clear intimation that the candi-
dates are not a part Of the committee,
and in my opinion this Is the proper In
depreciation to be placed on the law"
There being no special provision In
the law as to who shall call the meet
ing, the attorney generals opinion Is
that the county chairman shall call the
meeting, when necessary.

TWO zEPS BAGGEO
BY BRITISH A|RMEN
Fleet of IL Hostile Craft Raids
London, and 10 Escape After
Taking Heavy Toll
of Life.

London. Sept. 26.-Of the IL big Yep
pelins which invaded the British Isles
Saturday night, to deal death and de-
struction from the skies, two today lay
stark and black masses Of steel and
aluminium.
One came down a flaming torch,
while the second, disabled by gunfire,
effected a landing, which v the
lives Of the crew, who were made pris-
oners. The crew of the first raid died
in the flames of their own ship.
The death and burning of the first
Zeppelin was witnessed by tens or
thousands Of London residents, but the
wounding and descent of the second
raider was q matter of doubt until the
official statement was given u Ihe
crew surrendered to special constables.
Many who saw the shrapnel bursting
like sky rockets about the invader,
which subsequently caught fire, think
there must have been several direct
hits. Many a~eroplanes were aloft and
attacked the Zeppelins from all sides.
The raiders took a heavy toll OF lives
before their destruction, % persons be-
ing killed and SO wounded, in the met
ropolitan district of London. Two per-
sons were killed, probably four; and
II were wounded in the provinces.
The property damage was largely
confined for the most part to small
suburban dwellings and shops, although
one railway station was damaged, some
empty cars being destroyed, and parts
Of the track torn up.
Danish fishermen observed four Yep
pelin airships yesterday travelling IN q
~southeasterly direction, says a dispatch
from Copenhagen TO the Exchange
Telegraph company. One of the Zep-
pelins was in a damaged condition and
was being accompanied by torpedo boat
destroyers.
