Crawford withdrew the Pierre Soldiers home bill in the council and the Hot Springs bill passed last Monday. It became clear the Pierre bill could not pass now, and continuing the fight would kill the Hot Springs bill, which the people did not want. Pierre offered the home if fair, but would not prevent another location. The people believe the institution is needed and should be located without delay, so they withdrew their offer to allow the location to be chosen.
