SECRETARY AND HI. w.
WARD TREASURER.

At meeting held at the Redwood
Falls Commercial Club last Friday ev-
ening the first preliminary steps were
taken to organize Sound Govern
ment Association in this city. A re-
preventative from the state headquar-
ters was here and explained to the
men present the object and aim of the
movement, and that it was state wide
in character.
Officers were, elected as follows:
VIM. Smith, President; n. r. Ryer-
son, Secretary; and H. w. Ward, Trea-
surer. At this meeting the president
was authorized to appoint committees
on organization and membership,

the next meeting At Fridays meet
ing nearly all those present signed
up as members. Another meeting will
be held, Wednesday evening, May II,
at which time the Sound Government
movement will be discussed, and its
details perfected.
This organization has been started
in this state short time ago for the
purpose of combating the sinister in
fluence now at work to overthrow the
present form of government and to at
tempt to establish in its stead the
rule of radicalism, communism and
socialism. 1t intends to give to the
people all available facts and treat the
subject fairly and honestly and show
them just what such wild ideas are
going to lead to.

propose to nominate candidate of
their own choosing and who, if nomin-
.ated, they expect will be servile to
their interests.
my withdrawal from convention
consideration will give the delegates,

of the situation and, before it is too
late, to determine to place in nomina-
tion candidate for the high office of
Governor who will command the conf
dence of the electorate of this state.
81 can now only thank my friends
for the interest and support they
have taken in and given to my cam
didacy, and to express to them a
feeling that | am acting wisely and
by counsel of friends who believe
that the best interests of the people
will be subserved by this action"
