AS TO CITIZENSHIP

Senator Sterling has had several in
quiries relative to the status of resi-
dents of South Dakota who, in terri
torial days, had filed their declara-
ton of intention to become citizens of
the United States, and who had voted
and we're residents of the Territory
of Dakota at the time when South
Dakota became a state. 1t has been
generally understood that such per-
sons were citizens even though they
did not take out their final naturali-
cation papers. but in order to set at
rest all doubts about the matter, Sem
ator Sterling submitted the question
to government officials concerned with
naturalization matters. He has been
informed by them that those who,
prior to the admission of South Da-
kota as a state of the union, had filed,
under oath, the required declaration
of intention under the naturalization
laws of the United States to become
citizens Of the United States, and had
taken an oath to support the consti-
tuition of the United States, and were
legally entitled to vote for represen,
tatives to the Dakota Territorial as
sembly at the time when South Dako-
ia was admitted as a state of the
union, and were residing there at that
time. were then adopted as American
citizens and it is not necessary for
them to take out final naturalization
papers.

STATE CANDIDATES

Newspaper comments Of the pOllt
ical situation in the state are numer
Gus and from our exchanges we cul
the following pertinent items:
The popularity even among demo
Gratis of Peter Norbeck, governor o.
South Dakota, who has no republican
opposition in his candidacy for renom
ination at the May primary election
is shown in a reference made by the
Beresford Republic to the circulation
in Beresford and hat vicinity of the
governors nominating petitions. The
Beresford newspaper says:
Governor Norbeck's nominating pc
tition was circulated in Bercsiord this
week, and it disclosed the fact that
he is not only normally popular here,
but it requires an effort TO keep the
democrats and all from signing it.
This. of course, could not be allowed,
but they got consolation on Of the
fact that they can vote Tor him in the
fall"
During the week a large number Of
republican newspapers came out in
support of N0rbeck for denomination,
and they will support him unanimous
~, as viii the republican voters Of
South Dakota.
n. T.. Knight, state commissioners
of school and public lands, has no OPP
position for denomination on the repub-
lican ticket. He is serving his first
term. has made a good record and
probably Will be renominated by unan-
imous vote. Knight is particularly
strong with the farmers of the state,
having extensive stock raising and
farming interests. to which he gave
his exclusive attention prior 10 being
elected to the Office he now holds.
Gus IL. Helgerson, state treasurer,
now serving his first term, also has
no republican opponent. Since as
Stunning the duties Of state treasurer
he has resided at Pierre, and has Civ
en- the duties Of the office his personal
attention. 1t is said few state treas
urers have made n better record.
Prior to assuming the office of state
treasurer he was engaged in the hard
ware business at Mt. Vernon.
The fact that petitions are being
circulated throughout the First con
g%ressional district in behalf of c. A.
Christopherson of Sioux Falls, form
er speaker of the lower house of the
state legislature, indicates that he will
make an aggressive fight for the re-
publican nomination to congress at the
primary election in May. Mr.. Chris
topherson was a candidate against
Congressman Dillon two years ago and
lacked only a little more than 900
votes to give him the nomination over
Dillon. This year there are several
favorable features which did not ex
list two years ago and which Mr.. Chris
topherson's friends believe will enable
him to win the nomination.

BEN n. ALTON WRITES

The following letter from Major
Ben II. Alton, who by the way holds
the highest rank IF any Brookings
boy now in the service. has been re-
ceiyed by his brothers in this city and
We are privileged to publish it for the
benefit Of u readers:
Dear Leo and Harry: First Of all
/ must thank you boys for your
Christmas greetings. You can rest as
sured that they were very welcome
as all things are from home. 1t was
nice of you to send them.
OF course you have read all my let
tors that | have sent home SO that
you have some sort of an idea what
/ ann doing from time to time.
There are many interesting things
going on oven here that you would
like to see, and Leo may have a
chance to see them yet. whether you
care to or not. This war must be won
even if it comes to sacrificing the one
that are most dear to us. Remember
that all the men that are giving their
lives today are dear TO some one
You would enjoy seeing the thouS-
ands of soldiers training. The armies
on the march; the Scotch in their
kits are wonderful sights and they
are likewise wonderful soldiers and
fighters; the roar Of the suns and
their flashes which light UP the sky
continuously. You would also enjoy
the air fights, and see the planes
caught in the search lights at night
and to see the anti-aircraft shells
bursting all around them. There are
many things that are interesting to
look back on, but very uninteresting
to pass through.
| will never forget the day we were
shelled out of a casualty clearing sta
ton while up the line. 1t "a nc
joke to have the long range guns
dropping shells on all sides of us. The
Smelling continued all day. Huge
holes were blown in the ground and
earth, brick and wood would be
hurled high into the air. One can
not hear the shells coming until they
are right on one. Then they whistle
and explode. They are called whiz-
bangs by the Tommies.
| have had many happy days but
don't believe l was ever SO happy as
when I was leaving that place that
night, when patients, nurses and Off
GERS were removed to another C. c. S.
| gathered a fair amount of wal
trophies, but l don't know whether
l will be able to get them home when
l come. / will try and bring some.
No doubt you boys are beginning
to think about spring athletics. We
are not awfully busy at the present
time so that we play a little hockey
for exercise. We have a good com
bination and win most of our matches

courts are being put into shape.
No doubt We will be very busy sOor
for we are expecting the much talked
of German offensive to begin soon
Then there will be plenty of work.
