DEMOCRATS TO MEET
GATHERING AT MITCHELL TO
NAME DELEGATES TO THE
NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Washington, ID. c.. Feb. "a call
for a mass meeting of South Dakota
democrats to convene in Mitchell at
2 o'clock p. m, Thursday. February
"a. is recommended by Senator +. S.
Johnson and Congressman Harry
Candy. in a statement issued today.
The text of the statement is as fol-
lows:
To the Democrats of South Da-
kota: AS no legal party state com
mittee exists in South Dakota by rea-
son of the decision of the supreme
court annulling the Richards primary
law, and the opinion of the attorney
general thereon, a method should be
devised TO ascertain the wishes of
democrats as to who shall represent
them as delegates to the national
convention.
We have been im%portuned by dem
ocrats all over the state to suggest
names for such delegates. This we
have steadily refused to do, believing
that the only fair way is for the dem
ocrats of the state in mass meeting
assembled to take such action as will
best promote the interests of the
party, to which all democrats are in
vited. We therefore recommend and
call such a meeting and suggest that
it be held at Mitchell on Thursday,
February "a, 1916, at 2 o'clock p. m,
to discuss party matters and to select
candidates for delegates and alter
mates. to be voted for at the regular
primary, if thought advisable. We
are confident hat only earnest, sin
cere friends of our great president
who have been loyal to the party and
its candidates in the past. and active
party workers, would be put forward
as such candidates. We hope this
call will meet general approval, and
that there will be a full representa-
ton from all sections of the state.
Ed S. Johnson,
Harry l.. Candy.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS As
COMPILED by THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Feb. Especial: EN-
cept on the front in France and Bel
GUM. little fighting has been report
ed in the war zones. Paris tells of
the bombardment of the German po-
sitions near the Sas and Steenstrete
in Belgium, the destruction of a Ger
man blockade between the Disc and
the Aisne and of effective work by
French batteries in the Artois and
Champagne regions. French shells
on the former sector caused powerful
explosions northeast of Arras and a
great fire in the Champagne near
Challerange. The Germans have been
busy with their artillery against the
British around Loos, while the Brit
ish, in return, have bombarded Ger
man trenches near the Ypres-Roulers
railway.
The Vienna war office reports the
situation unchanged on all fronts
where Austrian troops are fighting
Nothing new has come through
concerning the reported coneentra-
ton of troops of the Teutonic allies
in the region of the Greek border.
A Copenhagen dispatch indicates
that authorities at Kiel are fearful
of an allied air raid there. The pop
ulace has been notified that a steam
er siren will give advance notice OF
a raid and hat in case raiders come
the people should not unduly expose
themselves.
The semiofficial Overseas News
agency, of Berlin. says there are now
"1,429,171 prisoners of war in Ger

does not include prisoners the Ger
mans left in Austria-Hungary.
A London newspaper is authority
for the statement that Earl Kitchener
British secretary for war, probably
will leave the war office to undertake
work of a more important character
elsewhere. If Earl Kitchener should
leave, the newspaper adds, Secretary
William Robertson, chief of staff,
will actively direct the war and a
civilian will become secretary for
war.
For the second time during the

son of Emperor William, has been

STATE NEWS.

Yankton-A formal announcement
of his candidacy on the republican
ticket for the nomination of %lieuten-
ant governor of the state was made
here by w. III. McMasters, of Yank-
ton. Mr.. McMasters has served in
both houses of the legislature for
several terms. and his name will
come before the primaries, according
to his announcement.
Pierre-A statewide movement has
been started by the Pierre Woman's
club TO secure a library for the state
tubercular ~sanitarium at Custer.
They cannot be provided with a tray
cling library, as books once in the in
stitution are not allowed TO be again
circulated. The object Of the present
movement is TO secure books which
will be donated to the institution,
which are available for the use of
those who have gone to that institu-
ton for its advantages as a health re-
sort.
Virgil-Friends here have been ad-
yised that one of the sons OF Thomas
Metcalf, who was serving with the
Canadian troops in the European war
has been killed. Mr.. Metcalf .and his
family for many years were residents
of the Virgil territory. They moved
to the British northwest a few years
ago, and when Canada was called up
on to contribute troops TO the Euro
pean war the son enlisted. He was a
very popular young man, and was
known TO many in Virgil and vicinity.
Alpena-The voters of this city
are taking great interest in the result
of a special election, to be held Tues
day, February Is, at which the prop
osition of issuing bonds in the sum Of
$4,000 for the construction of a new
public school building will be submit
ted to the voters. The proposed
bonds will draw 6 per cen interest
and will be payable in five, ten and
fifteen year periods.
Aberdeen-On the grounds that
the decision of the state supreme
court which reversed the lower court
in the case of State VS.. Alfred j.
Ward, was conclusive and final,
States Attorney f. G.. Huntington
has moved Judge Bouck that the
cases against Ward and Jack Inger-
soil, charged with contributory delin-
quency, be dismissed on the grounds
that If the complaints were faulty and
did not set forth facts sufficient to
constitute a public ~offense, nothing
more could be done by the state.
These cases stirred up considerable
feeling here when tried because of
the age of the girl in question, who
was several years below her majority.
Pierre-The reports of the deposits
of state and national banks combined
doing business in South Dakota, show
that there was an increase of prac-
tically $4,000, 600 between the calls
Of September and November of last

posts to the amoun of $110,99

carrying $63, ~297,226.89. The Sep
TENDER call showed deposits of $l01,-

BYRNE SUGGESTS DATE
FOURTH TUESDAY IN MAY AD-
NANCED AS CONVENIENT
TIME FOR PRIMARY.

Pierre, Feb. 9.-Two main propo-
sitions seem fairly well established,
following the first session of the spe-
cial legislative assembly yesterday.
One is that a majority of the legis-
lators will sit on the lid and prevent
consideration of any other business
than that of amending the primary
law. The second important prospect
is that the amended primary date will
be the fourth Tuesday in May.
Gov. Byrne's message, at the open
ing of the session, dwelt very point
eddy upon the necessity of giving cit
liens the fun and free expression of
their primary rights. He stated that
neither the republicans nor demo-
Gratis could make legal compliance
with the primary provisions at the
primary heretofore assigned for June
6, and that the situation plainly call
ed for the alternative April primary.
On account of technical defects con-
nected with the April primary in ad-
dition to considerations of economy,
he said the extra legislature session
was called to provide an earlier date
for regular primary. thus eliminating
the necessity for two primaries.
The governor admitted that he
does not have the right to limit aetiv-
tiles at this special session, but ex-
pressed the opinion that the only
matters properly before the legisla-
ture is the adjustment of the primary
election law and the payment of ex-
4 nangnc for tho a n This ufnW uya .
very generally approved in express
sions made during the noon intermis-
sion.
Some efforts have been in progress
to form a trouble coalition of demo
Gratis and standpatters. but the idea
has not secured very extensive back
ing thus far. These would be dis
turbers realize they will have to bear
the odium of any departure from Sc
date business lines in the proceedings
of this session.
The governors message made a
specific recommendation for the
fourth Tuesday in May as the new
primary date, and the suggestion has
been received with such general ia
vor that its adoption seems assured.
The fourth Tuesday in May. it will
be observed, could not be later than
May IS, nor earlier than May 22. In
application to the 1916 situation, IL
would advance the primary date two
weeks, giving opportunity for legal
count and canvass of votes in advance
of the republican and democratic ma
tional conventions. A compilation
made for the governor, covering a
pediod of forty years shows that dur
ing that period the democratic and
republican national conventions e
err have been held earlier than June
s, and never as early as June except
upon one occasion for each party.
For the convenience of farmers the
fourth Tuesday of May will prove
very satisfactory, as the bulk of the
corn planting should be out of the
way at that time.
