GOVERNOR N0RBEGk
HEARD AT PARKST0N
Dealt With State and Interna.
tional Affairs-Fleascd
With Reception.

Parkston. s. D.. Feb if.-lsoy-
ernor Peter Norbock spoke to a crowd
ed house here Tuesday night. me.
meeting was held in the city hall, ana
it was packed to its utmost capacity
standing room being at u premium. me
band was out for the occasion and gave
the governor a royal Sendotf. NE.
Norbeck was introduced to the audi
ence by States Attorney Glynn ana ne
commanded the closest attention OF ms
hearers for a talk of an hour d
half's duration.
The address was entirely free from
any suspicion of partisan politics., ana
the larger portion of the evening was
occupied in giving a history of the en-
a%ctlnents of state wide importance that
had been put into law by the various
legislatures of South Dakota, and call
ing attention to the various amend.
ments to the constitution to be Noted
upon in the coming election.
Governor Norbeck also took occasion
to give his views on the present world
wide conflict in which the United
States is engaged. and expressed the
opinion that while the exact time on
which strife would end was very much
in doubt, that the real outcome was
not for a moment to be considered as
resulting in anything less than crush
ing defeat for the kaiser and his poll
cieS.
Those who went to the meeting Wltn
the expectation of hearing a speech
filled with N~ituperation were badly ols-
appointed, as the governor was courte-
Gus, logical and convincing in all that
he had to say. He came here with the
idea that he would not have very much
of q crowd. taking int consideration all
that has been heard on the outside or
the sentiment in Hutchinson county,
and he stated frankly that nowhere IN
the state had he received more courte-
Gus treatment or given a more re-
spectful hearing. He was very much
pleased with the result of his trip into
this county, the meeting he addressed
at Dimock on Saturday afternoon also
being a large one. From here the gov
nrnOr went to Mitchell.
