B2 Saturday, March 19, 1988 the Rapid City Journal Myrtle Sever State Democrats meeting to apportion delegates Today's obituaries: Robert F. Robertson Harold 'Red' Clark Myrtle Sever Margaret Marshall Reba Sanders Norman H. Wynia Democrats who attend the statewide caucus to responsibly follow the election results. "The wishes of the South Dakota voters in their own party ought to be honored, and they should follow through on the plan," he said. If the primary results are followed at the caucus, only Gephardt and Dukakis would qualify for any delegates.

Based on primary results, Gephardt would receive six delegates to the Democratic National Convention and Dukakis would receive four, Hauffe said. Hauffe said 41 people had signed up to become Gephardt delegates and 35 had signed up to be Dukakis delegates. "All South Dakota Democrats are invited and encouraged to participate," Hauffe said. On April 23, the Democratic State Central Committee will select five more pledged delegates. If primary election results serve as the guideline, Gephardt would receive three of the delegates and Dukakis would receive two.

The four top party leaders will be the only unpledged members of the state Democratic delegation, which will total 19 members. Joe Kafka PIERRE (AP) Democrats from across South Dakota meet In Pierre Saturday to apportion 10 of the state's national convention delegates. Missouri Rep. Richard Gephardt won the state's Democratic primary on Feb. 23, but national party rules do not permit the election to have any directly binding effect on the national convention delegates.

The statewide caucus is to decide whether to allocate the delegates among the presidential candidates in proportion to the primary results. Under party rules, the caucus Is free to use the primary results or reject them entirely, basing the allocation instead on the presidential preferences of those attending the caucus. "I don't see the realistic chances of people wanting to do anything other than honor the wishes of the South Dakota Democratic voters and uphold the Integrity of that election," Rick Hauffe, acting director of the state Democratic Party, said Friday. There have been rumors about packing the caucus with supporters of one or more candidates in an attempt to skew the guidelines set by voters, Hauffe said. But he dismissed them as only rumors.

"The rumor mill In politics blows like the South Dakota wind relentlessly," Hauffe said. "What's at stake here Is 10 delegates," Hauffe said. "It would be highly unproductive for the candidate himself If the group affiliated with that candidate would be responsible for overturning the caucus and stealing the election away from the voters of South Dakota. "You have to be a pretty straight shooter on the convention floor," Hauffe said. "You can't have a situation where your integrity has been damaged in any state because that will come back to haunt you." Massachusetts Gov.

Michael Dukakis, who was second in the state Democratic primary, has written a letter to the state party that said his campaign would honor the results of the primary election, said Kip Scott of Sioux Falls, Dukakis' campaign manager in South Dakota. "I believe all of the candidates wrote a letter and signed off on that," Scott said. Dukakis has so far gained the most delegates in caucuses and elections held in several states.
