"But Mr. Nixon, the man behind the balloons and secret letters to special Wall Street interests, will not debate ard thinks he can fool the people with a nvultimillion dollar advertising campaign." Nixon said Tuesday the election of Humphrey would mean a further drift toward "anarchy, violence and bitterness."

The recommendation of this committee is then forwarded to the governor who will make an appointment to fill the vacancy." Charles Howard of Aberdeen, South Dakota Republican state chairman, in response to an inquiry from this paper stated that "In recent South Dakota political history there- have been several times when Republican nominees for the State Legislature have died after the ballots have been printed and before election. The voters of the county have then proceeded to cast their ballot for the deceased person.

After election the Governor of the State, acting upon the recommendations of the County Central Committee, has appointed a Republican to the Legislature to fill the vacancy caused by such death."

I am sure that D. O. Dillavou was on the threshold of even greater service to the people of our state. "The cause of good government in South Dakota has suffered greatly in his loss," Dr. Eubank concluded.

The Lawrence County courthouse will be closed from 9:30 a.m. to 11 :30 a.m. on Friday for the funeral of the former state's attorney, according to Mrs. Agnes Ayres, auditor, who said that the closing has been authorized by the board of commissioners. ncsday morning stated, "His tragic death is a stunning blow to not only every citizen of Lawrence County, but also to all the people of South Dakota."

Adjacent to but separate from the Fort Collins center will be-a commercial project called the Century Building. It will cost an additional $3.5 million.

It will include two seven-story office buildings and new quarters for the University National Bank of Fort Collins. Construction is underway now on the bank building. Construction at all eight locations, which Conway said were selected on the basis of their regional importance and growth potential, is scheduled for completion in 1970 or 1971.
