NO ELECTION
No Nj .RITY OF ALL VOTES
ANOTHER ELECTION NEXT
TUESDAY BY LAW.

Returns of yesterdays election for
a commissioner to fill the uneXpired
term caused by the resignation of j.
A. Johnson from the board resulted
in a fizzle. The total vote cast mum
bered 562. Mr.. Walden received
the greatest number with PA. which
is SIS less than enough for a choice.
This results in no choice for a com
missioner, and makes another cleo
tion necessary.
The election is provided for, Au-
ditor VIM. Rae said this morning, and
according to the law in such case
made and provided it will automat.
ically take place next Tuesday. July
II. The commissioners meet tomor.
row night to wi the vote of yes.
terday. but they have nothing TO dc
in arranging or calling for another
election. The state law makes the
provision.
On the election next Tuesday thf
two receiving the greatest number o
votes yesterday will automatically b.
the candidates, and none others MAJ
enter. This places the contest be
tween N. +. Walden and A. G
Schmidt, and eliminates A. j. Bald

DAYS ELECTION.

In the three cornered city commits

fill vacancy. A. G.. Schmidt made q
run which is pleasing TO his friends.
This is especially the case when il is
taken into account that Mr.. Schmidt
nor his friends made no canvass in
his interest either publicly or pri-
vately. In fact during the past sew
eral weeks Mr.. Schmidt has been en-
gagged in public road work, gratui-
tously, under the auspices Of the
Merchants and Commercial clubs OF
the city, and did not neglect this pub
lie duty until finished.
AS yesterdays election, with three
candidates in the field, was one OF
elimination. a second election will be
held next Tuesday for the purpose Of
making a final choice of commission
er. Mr.. Schmidt will stand as a can
didate at this election.

ings.
After a course of training in ele-
mentary knowledge of flying ma
chimes, officially designated as
ground work" because no actual
flying is done, the South Dakota boys
will be sent to one of the flying
schools of the government. either at
lRantoul, III, or Mt. Clemens, Mich,
where the finishing touches will be
applied to their studies. AT their fly
ing schools air" work is given 10

ing machines and take periodical
flights. Upon demonstrating their eff
~ficiency to handle the fragile ma
chines of the air the men will be reg.

arrival. He stated also that there
were $4,000 American troops i'm La
Belle, France, now. The astonishing
information was also given that they
would not be expected to hold a sec
tor Of the fighting line against the
German armies, but were being taken
along the whole western front to
convince the French armies that
America was really with them. He
also states that it is the intention of
the government to transport the new
American army of 100000 men
across the ocean at periods between
the dates of Thanksgiving and Christ
mas. The reason for this is the fact
that at that period the ocean is
rougher, and therefore safer from at
tack by submarine.
