TWIN STATE TALK.

The Republican party at their con-
ventiOn last week made more Demo-
cratic votes in placing that iron-bound.
steel-pOinted prohibition plank in their
platform than have been made by the
entire efforts of the Democratic party
since its organization. 1t is amusing to
see how some of the hide-bOund party
organs squirm and wriggle in trying to
swallow the nauSeating dOSe.-AleX-
andria Journal.
The result of the Huron convention
showed that prOhi'S were largely in the
majority. This causes more express
siOns of opinion among the people gen
orally than all the addresses which
have been delivered throughout the
state the last six mOnthS.-Clark Re-
publican.
The ticket nominated by the Repub-
lican state convention last week at
Huron fails to arouse the slightest en-
thuSiaSm within the ranks of the 2. o. p.
Not only does it fail to arc u e any en-
thuSiaSm, but it positively rails with a
sickening thud. Not a solitary faction
of the party is thoroughly satisfied. The
license wing is ripping mad over the
caSt-irOn, dOuble-barrel ed prohibition
plank.-Grant Review.
Contrary to the expectations of a
great many the Republican state con
ventiOn inserted i'll its declaration of
principles an out and out prohibition
plank, and all danger of third party
in the present campaign is thus re-
moved. Republicans and Prohibi-
tionists are in the same boat in the first
state campaign for South Dakota, and
as the former are largely in the major
ity the probability is that the Prohi-
bitioniStS will land Safely.-Marshall
Sentinel.
Our Democratic convention put up
ticket that every Democrat, business
man and independent voter can vote for
For ability and as a clean-cut ticket it
has never been matched by a party
ticket put before the people in the ter
ritory. The Democracy has started out
right in their party work in the political
formation of this new state of South
Dakota. Now, let every Democrat
within the borders of this new state be
alive to their duty in support of the
ticket, and there will be some surprises
in store for the amalgamated ticket put
up at Huron by the Republican, Pro-
hibitiOnist and Farmers alliance, mis-
named a Republican ticket.-Aberdeen
Republican.
Itmeans that the Republicans of South
Dakota, representing a tremendous
majority, have passed under the control
OF the Prohibition idea, and can never
retrace its steps until This thing is
fought to successful issue. No man
who does not favor radical measures for
prohibition in South Dakota can be
termed Republican in the broadcast
sense of the word. Prohibition means
Republican, in South Dakota to-day.
-Groton Independent.
Whether the Republican party can
stand it to be thus swallowed up at
one gulp by the prOhibitionists remains
to be seen. While there is and will
continue to be a great deal of vigorous
kicking, yet the chances are that the
most of the rank and lille will support
the ticket nominated.-Da Herald.
The Huron convention acquitted
itself nobly. 1t placed in nomination
strong ticket of representative Demo-
Gratis, men who are known throughout
the state for their integrity, their ability
and their fidelity to the great funda-
mental principles Of human rights.
Every one of them is a citizen of whom
Dakota is proud, and the enthusiastic
unanimity with which the delegates
named them yesterday is but the har-
binger of the majority by which in Oc-
tober they will be swept on to victory.
