the limit is increased to per cent. The

takes exceptions to the acts of the DEM

The outrageous apportlonment, made
by the committee, deserves only the Sc
verest condemnation. 1t was SO manip-
ulated as to return the gang to power
against the will and wishes of the party.
The apportionment was made in the
interest of the northern allies of the

TRUE LOYALTY.
| A Dakota Democratic Newspaper
Which Prefers Patriotism to Partis-


nnship.
Dakota Free Trade Democrat, July If.
We have all the reason in the world
for statehood that any community ever
had, and more than most of them, We
are taxed millions of dollars annually to
support the United States government.
Are we not paying internal revenue
day? Are we not bearing our portion
of tariff taxation. Have we any voice
in the levying of these taxes or in the
disbursement of these revenpes2 Is
there any difference practically, between
the condition OF Dakota now and that
of the colonies at the time Of the rev.
olution?
lit would be useless to attempt, in the
space OF newspaper editorial, to give
or even to name all the reasons for and
benefits to be derived from statehood.
We believe the territorial condition Is
demoralizlng and that we, as American
citizens, do not fully appreciate the inn
portauce of the struggle before ns--a
struggle that involves the fundamental
principles and even the right of self
government. When Vest stated, in the
senate of the United States, that that
body had the power to maintain the
territorial form of government forever,
and when Mr.. Butler, OF
South Carolina, supported him in
his position, and when Senator
Harrison tells the friends of statehood
that they have no right to go ahead
with the present state government, then
they, one and all, support q doctrine,
that il sustained may actually hold us
in our present condition for the next
forty years, if not forever.
Such doctrine is not democratic, is
not constitutional is wrong, is mon
strous, and, even if democratic, we
would not sustain IT, or for an instant
give it oountenance. Democracy. we
believe, represents the best principles of
constitutional government, and because
it is such, we are democratic. Will it
avail us, as a party, to now go back on
those life long p,irciples of democracy
for mere Temporary par'isan advantage
most decidedly we say no.
