In Sioux Falls last Friday a Convention of Republicans aimed at rebuilding the state party and healing divisions drew about 400 members, with no statewide officeholders present outside Minnehaha County. Supporters credit Dick Richards with influence, while factions across counties and Governor Byrne’s camp complicate the scene ahead of primary elections. The piece notes interparty strife and the role of local newspapers in reaching buyers.
The piece argues manufacturers overadvertise in national outlets while neglecting local agents. It urges local merchants to unite and press firms to fund targeted local advertising, which would lower overall costs and raise demand for the merchants' and manufacturers' brands in their communities.

The piece argues three breweries at wholesale continue to push illicit sales, causing jail time and county expenses for families. It urges taxpayers to push for legalized controlled operation as voters once favored.
