In support of our assertion that the
adverse comments on the result of the
recent republican senatorial election
are inspired by the disappointed ambi-
tion of Mr.. Loucks. we quote the fol-
lowing, printed over his own signature
in recent number of the Ruralist:
The whole power, prestige and pat
ronage of the state and federal govern
ments were brought to bear. Gov.
Mellette, who was to leave on special
at 2 p. m., held it until the foul con-
spiracy had succeeded. Every Moody
Pettigrew striker shouted "Edgerton is
out of the race and goes on the
bench!" His workers were called off,
the band wagon brigade veered to the
monopoly side and Pettigrew and
Moody won. We do not like to speak
harshly of one who has so long been
held in high esteem as has Judge Ed
gerton. We pinned our faith 10 him
and have been decei: ed. Through his
actions we have lost the fight after
victory had oeen assured. Should he
receive and accept the appointment of
United States district judge then we
can come to no other conclusion than
that was the price was for the betrayal
of his friends.

votes cast on this question was "For the

scribed in the act, resubmitted to the
people of South Dakota, with proper
changes and amendments, and has been
adopted and ratified by majority of the
qualified voters of said proposed state, in
accordance with the conditions prescribed
in said act; and
Whereas, 1t is also certified to me by
the said governor that at the same time
that the body of said constitution was
submitted to vote of the people, two
additional articles We're submitted sepa-
rately, to-wit: An article numbered
twenty-four, entitled Prohibition, -
which received majority of all the
votes cast for and against said article, as
well as majority of all the votes cast
for and against the constitution, and was
adopted; and an article numbered twen-
ty-fve, entitled "NIinority Representa-
ton" which did not receive majority
of the votes cast thereon, nor upon the
constitution, and was rejected; and
Whereas, a duly authenticated copy of
said constitution, additional articles, Or
dinances and propositions as required by
said act, has been received by me:
Now. therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison,

the fact that the conditions imposed by
congress on the state of South Dakota. to
entitle that state to admission to the

state, led by the Bismarck Tribune,
are adduciDg strong facts to show that
ii the incoming legislators live up to
the limit of their privileges they will
bankrupt the state at the very outset.
The situation is not quite so bad down
here, but it calls for the most judicious
economy; and right here the REPuB-
L1CAN must differ with the Alexandria
Herald, which argues in favor of a
long session. Barring the legislation
for the absolutely necessary approprla-
tions and the enactment of those laws
which the changed conditions make
imperative, there is no crying need of
lawmaklng. The present code as a
whole will certainly serve the purpose
for a year or two, by which time the
state can afford its complete overhaul
ing and during the interval the discus
sion of proposed new legislation will
insure results which cannot possibly be
attained now,

The editor of the Dell Rapids Times,
which is one Of the cleanest and best
papers that comes to our desk, goes
down into the depths of his own ex-
perience and brings up the following
gem of good, hard sense, the sentiment
of which every newspaper man can
subscribe to:
The Times rather admires man
who comes straight to the editor if he
has a grievance. butit has nothing but
contempt for one who is all right to
our face and when he is in a congenial
place threatens to punch our head. :.
