The Sioux Falls constitutional con
vention is oil that now stands between
the desires Of a large majority OF the
people of Dakota and tho passage OF
an enabling act for the admission OF
the whole of Dakota as one state, an en-
actment which would prove repugnan1
to at least three-quarters of the people
of ell of Dakota. The manipulat,one
of designing men, dictated and directed
by the money and influence of the
Northern Pacific corporation, are shap.
ing public sentiment in the states for
this browning act OF in.
Justice to our long imposed
upon people. Under the law 1t is the
votes of the representatives of the states
which shape our destiny. AS individuals
or rs collective mass we can do moth
ing but petition, memorabilia. implore
entreat. The small minority which seeks
to fasten upon Dakota for all time to
come an undesirable condition is insid
uously at work among the men who ate
to pass judgment upon our case, and q,
the same time shrewdly agitatiug its
project throughout Dakota sufficiently
to give color of plausibillty to It's as
se1tion that the inhabitants of our terri.
tory desire its admission into the union
as one state. It can be
readily seen that this in.
huence is moulding sen ntlment an
tagonistic to the interests of the two
Dakotas and in opposition to the cher
isbed desires of the large majority which
has so long contended for separate state
organizations.
This convention of the accredited
representatives of the people of south
Dakota comes at the most opportune
time. It possesses the power to repre-
sent to congress the real desires of those
who are most affected by congressional
acts and to present the views OF tn.
people with the force Of legal and duly
authorized body behind them. The con
vention should say emphatically in its
preamble to congress that under nc
consideration will south Dakota consent
to admission as whole, and that il
tstatehood is denied US we ask tor diyis.
ion alone, preferring to bide our time fol
the final act of justice. The aati-divis
lonists comprehend the effect of such G
declaration from the constitutional con
vention of south Dakota and are un-
ceasing in their efforts to SOW discorc
among it's members and to belittle it,
proposed accomplishments abroad. l
no constitutional convention had beer
called the success of the one state work
ers would now be assured, 30 far as con-
gress is concerned. But the convention
extends its protection 70 the INTEREST,"
of Dakota and if it acts wisely it can ye
defeat the selfish schemes OF small but
powerful minority.

It has been customary for congress to
make territories into states as rapidly as
their increase ia population, wealth and
capacity for self-government justified
such promotion. Thus far in the history
of the country there has prevailed an
impression that the union has been
made stronger by diminishing its unor.
ganized areas and increasing the number
of it's states. There has also existed
feeling that to refuse admission to a
| territory solely because its people were
likely to elect senators and representa-
tives of political opinions at variance
with those held by he majority party in
| congress-, was anisRnjustitable act, no
! matter how substantially backed by
precedents. Equally true is it that in.
telligent men, OF all shades of political
opinion, have regretted the form.
ing of puny state out of an undeserv.
ing territory merely to preserve party
equilibrium, threatened with disturb.
ance by the admission Of large and
| tlourishing territory.
The territory of Dakota is by wealth,
population and ability to govern itself
entitled to statehood, andslts admission
will make the union stronger. There
fore, for the democrats to refuse its ad-
mission merely because it is q republi-
can community, or for them to attempt
to admit puny aud undeserving terri
tory of democratic proclivities as a par
tisan Offset to it, will be to act counter
to enlightened public opinion. The re-
cent arguments to the effect that the ter
ritory is too small, too sparsely settled,
or too uncertain in it's prosperity to be
made state, are untenable. AS terri
tory Dakota may fairly be called an
overgrown infant. As state it would
to, day rank in population above Colora
do, Delaware, Florida, Nevada, New
Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island and
Vermont; while ten years from now, il
its population increases at anything like
1.-THE rate it has maintained in the past
decade, there would be at least q third
of the states in the union inferior to it il
the number of voters. To say that b ter
ritory which contains $4,000 farms is ir
danger of dwindlisg into q second Ne
vada is manifestly absurd Such state
ment betraya either ignorance or de
termination to ignore the facts. Th.
democrats in the next congress mus
vote to admit Dakota or lay themselve!
open to condemnation for unfairness.
Realizing this, it is stated that the,
are quite likely to ADOPT the alternative
method of defense in such circumstances
. and try to pick out democratic terri
ltory to admit with Dakota. To this n,
