Dakota republicans nominate state officers at Huron
In 1885 at Huron the Republican convention adopts a pro division platform for South Dakota and nominates Col. Smedley for permanent chairman, Mellette for governor, Franks for lieutenant governor, and Beadle Dollard and Kanouse among other key officers. Delegates pledge support for statehood and division from the Dakota Territory with a focus on securing admission as a state under the 46 parallel plan.
