STATE POLITICS
CONVENTIONS HELD TO ADOPT
PLATFORMS.

Sioux Falls, July 5.-A spirit of
patriotism prevailed in the republic
can state convention held here for
the adoption of a state platform, and
this found expression in the resolu-
ton which proclaimed the winning
of the war TO be the paramount issue
and pledged the national administra-
ton loyal and constant support in all
measures designated to bring victory
to the American army. The work OF
the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., knights
OF Columbus and other organizations
engaged in beneficial war work was
strongly approved and liberal sup
port pledged.
The resolution declared the right
of honest criticism when there was
willful waste in national affairs. and
asserted that delay in preparing for
war had greatly prolonged 1t and in
creased the loss of life.
The socialist party of the present
day as typlfied by the leaders of the
SO called farmers nonpartisan league
was denounced and charged with
spreading pro-German propaganda.
The arrest and prosecution OF all dis
loyal persons was demanded. Vice
President Marshal was denounced be-
cause he went into Wisconsin and
other states and made political ad-
dresses during the stress of a great
war when all partisan politics should
be eliminated.
The resolutions declared for ma
tional war time prohibition and also
urged the adoption by the voters OF
South Dakota at the election In No
vember OF the proposed amendment
to the state constitution granting
women the right to vote.
Profiteers were denounced and the
confiscation of their i'll gotten wealth
for use in prosecuting the war was
demanded.
The democrats of South Dakota al
a convention held here adopted a
platform on which the fall campaign
will be waged. The platform renews
allegiance to the national democratic
party and commends the work. OF
Woodrow Wilson as the great wal
president. The platform declares fol-
woman suffrage, for government
ownership of all public utilities. ia.
vors a change in the procedure of the
/ United States supreme court SO that
a law cannot be declared unconstitu-
tional except by a two-thirds vote oil
the members of that court, favors ar
amendment to the constitution of the
state providing for a smaller legisla'
tive body, favors free and uniform
school textbooks and calls upon this
United States senate for the imme,
date passing of the national woman
suffrage amendment.
The democrats declared themselves
in favor of the several of the pro.
posed amendments to the state con.
stitution which will be submitted to
the voters of South Dakota at the
election in November.
The convention was very patriotic
throughout and patriotism was the
keynote of all the addresses.

they are filled with soldiers goin,

So, as the Americans are gradually
coming to realize that somewhere bacl
home there has been wonderful speed
and efficiency in getting men acros the
Atlantic, the people of France are be
ginning to understand that Uncle Sam
has a vast army here already. How
much of 1t will participate in the great
battle which Is still going on, no one
can foretell. 1t Is known only that
American troops have been moving
about recently and that many troops
which were slated for three months
additional training behind the battle
lines were found to be in a state OF
such perfection that they were ready
to meet any emergency.
French Rejoice; Americans In Line.
Americans were sent to the big front
not long after the battle began. Off.
cial announcement to that effect was
made. Publication of the fact caused
a feeling of e%xultation to sweep over
France. Everywhere one could hear
the French saying:
"America is now in the linel
Americans had been In the front line
long before that, but not in the front
line of the biggest battle of the war.
The French newspapers commented
widely on the matter and later gave
great prominence to the statement of
General Pershing that anything Amer
lea has is at the disposal of France
for what use she wishes to make of 1t.
This was regarded by France as the
most generous and patriotic offer ever
made by one nation to another. The
people of France are overjoyed. They
never feared the result of the big bat.

ried sometimes about the capacity Of

required to give the Germans the lick

flushed with optimism and confidence,
and they are swelled with pride and Z
new love for America.

July 5.-General John j. Pershing has
rent his congratulations to the troops
operating in the Chateau Thierry Sec

my name, the officers and men who
