THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

A Protest from One of its Members
Against Deception Practiecd by
Bosses.
De Smet, Dakota, Sept. %, lSS6-To
the Press and Dakotaian-Our territorial
republican central committee published
notice for months in nearly oil the news
papers of Dakota that a vote would be
taken by the convention at Yankton
Sept. I'D upon the proposition to per-
NIT the delegates from each legislative
and each judicial district to choose q
member of the central committee. In
other words the republicans OF Dakota
were to be permitted to manage their
own affairs. 1t seems to have been
really believed by the committee that
the people no longer needed to be under
the guardianship of political bosses. At
the midnight ~oonoiave Of some of these
bosses on Sept. 2lst, it was agreed by
them that the old system should be re-
tanned; the bargain was made but kept
concealed from the mass of the delegate {
until the convention had adjourned,
that north Dakota should contro!
the committee. The report which
was circulated Sept. I'D before the
convention adjourned was that the
north was to control thirteen and have
the chairman and the south control
seventeen of the committee, giving the
south, where the power really iE, the
control. The delegates were deliberate
ly deceived until after adjournment,
and though they we're of course well
aware that any bargain or the subject
binding, there was q disposition to let it
go and rstify the arrangement. In other
words the modification Of the state
motto of south Dakota was temporarily
accepted-"Under God, the gang rule"
1t is purely a matter Of good nature on
the part of the great majority of the
delegates. Had they known that there
was in fact a fraud to be perpetrated
upon them by that trade, whereby the
control of the central committee was TO
BIZ passed over to the minority it could
not have been accomplished. 1t may as
we'll be understood that the
game of trading of the central
committee has been played for the last
time. Conversation with delegates and
citizens indicates that there will be o
vote next time (if all delegates from
Dakota again meet IN O republican con
yention) upon the proposition that the
committee be chosen by districts 81 that
the people shall be represented. Ii any
OF our distinguished men suppose
they can defeat q proposition to permit
the people TO select their own represen.
tatives, it is to be hoped they will pre-
pare an address upon the subject anG
take the floor against the people wheH
the motion comes up. The men of Da
kota evidently do not intend hereafter
to be traded off like cattle.
