The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1891-07-31
THAT EDITORIAL CONFERENCE.

Parkston Advance: The Republican
papers OF the state. or rather a few OF
Them talk about having meeting to
form Republican press association. and

lhls Is all foolishness. There is no need

and If those who propose it will simply
stand up for the party, and stay there.
it will not be necessary for some one
else to tell them what to do, but they
Will do the proper thing anyway.
Vermillion Republican,: The MITCH
ELL REPUBLICAN deserves credit for
the interest aroused in favor OF Re-
publican editors conference. Good re-
suits would certainly be achieved by
harmonious efforts on the part of Repub-
lican editors. The MITCHELL REP11R.
L1cAN's home would be good place for
the conference.
Howard Press: The disposition of the
publishers OF Republican papers in the
state, to ''get together" seems to be
general. The Press is in favor of it and
its editor is on record in personal cor
respondence with Senator Cory, of Red
field, dated before such proposition
found publicity. By all means let the
Republican editors get together and
compare notes. Why not have such a
meeting at Madison during the editor
ial outing?
Centreville Journal: The Yankton
Press opposes such move; says Repub-
lican editors are doing we'll enough if
adhering to Republican principles. The
Press further says that Republicanism
means an honest ballot and fair count,
majority rule and not terrorism or boss
ism: it means to foster educational insti-
tutlons, and thriyes only in the intelli-
gence and education of the people; it is
the farmers party and studies the pros
perity OF the farmer as the foundation
OF all prosperity. All this is true, but
there has not been strict and united
adherence to these principles by news
papers claiming to be Republican.
What is needed is unity, and no object
ion should be raised when unity is
sought. Let the editors meet. Let
them do anything necessary, that the
solid rock of true Republicanism may
become the foundation of their political
action.
Huronite: The Huronite shares the
view of the Republican, and has nothing
to say on the location beyond assuring
the editors in question that they would
be very heartily welcomed at Huron.
We could, in addition to all that Mitch
ell could do for them, show them the
Risdon we'll, the city artesian water
works, the greatest artesian farm in the
Jim Valley, and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
en-! Now go where you please, boys. and
the Huronite is with you.
Redfield Journal: The MITCHELL
REPUBLICAN wants the Republican edi-
tors to get together. A capital idea.
Aberdeen News: The report that a
meeting of the Republican editors of
South Dakota will be held at Mitchell,
in September, as telegraphed to the
Sioux City Journal, is undoubtedly pre-
mature, for there will be an opportunity
for consultation at Madison, during the
editorial convention which assemblies on
August l3.
