Scriven Nominated for State Auditor Conditioned by GOP Convention
The Capital announces John H. Scriven of this city as a Republican state auditor candidate, pending convention action on August 24. Scriven has long been tied to the party, serving as secretary of the state central committee, with many feeling he deserves the nomination. Separately, Governor Lee denies claims by Rev. Clevinger about remarks on the cowboy regiment, while public sentiment leans toward the preacher’s version. News from other states notes soldier pay boosts in New York and Vermont, and New Haven considers monthly allowances for soldiers’ wives and children. The South Dakota state fair at Yankton plans evening entertainments and enhanced premiums to promote dairy exhibits and overall state resources.
