From anNexceptionally able article
upon Mr.. Martins candidacy we re-
prints the following excerpt from the
Edgemont Express:
"ln Mr. Martin the republican party
has a candidate for whomthey have no
apologies to make, no defensive work
to begin OH the start. A clean repnb-
lican, a splendid lawyer, a man who
has made his way in the world by his
brilliant talents, and one who is consist
ent in his every move, there is a pride
in him that makes this united express
sion of the republicans of the Black
Hills possible and strong. The re-
publican papers seem to be all in favor
of him and their expressions of conf
dence of Mr.. Martins ability are
strong and convincing.
eff Lawrence county can agree on a
senatorial candidate of clean record the
support of the Southern Hills can
easily be drawn to their candidate.
There is senatorial timber in the South
ern Hills, but it is generally conceded
that if the western part of South Oak
ota is to have a senator, Lawrence
county, if united, is allowed to make
the choice and with this in veiw there
are several reasons why the republicans
there a not make any mistake in Mr..
Martins candidacy. One of these is
that he is Il representative man from
several counties by reason of his pro-
perty holdings. In Fall River, Custer,
and Pennington counties he has
ranches, water rights, cattle and horses,
besides holding interests in various

Martin for U. S. senator. There is
probably no man in the Hills more
desirable for that worthy position, nor
any n more liable to command the
strength of this portion of the state
than MIR. Martin.
SIT is generally conceded that the
Black Hills is entitled to a U. S. sena-
tor to succeed Pettigrew, or to a Rep
.resentive in congress to succeed MI.
Gamble, should the latter decide to
offer himself as senator. We believe
that the Hills is entitled to the sena-
torship, and that united action is all
that is necessary to obtain that posi-
ton for us.
"1n order to secure such united
action it is necessary that an open can
vass be made, and that the claims and
merits of possible candidates should
be publicly discussed.
"a mar should be named who has
the qualifications for either the upper
or lower house; so that if the repre-
sentative should fallt US this year, he
could be elected with the understand
ing and expectation that he would sue
coed Senator Kyle at the expiration of
his term, two years hence.
ga number of good men have been
named in this connection; but the one
who, in judgement combines in
himself the elements of ability and
availability; the one who could unite
the party throughout the Hills; whose
strength lies not only in union, but in
his w individuality; whose integrity
is as unquestioned as his ability and
whose private life is as unspotted as
his public career is Hon. E. w. Martin
of this county.
"We most heartily second his NOM
ination to the position which shall fall
to the Hills, whether it be that of U. S.
representative or senator; feeling con-
tident that no better choice can be
made, whether viewed from the stand
point of party, local, state. or national
interest.
"Mr. Martin is young enough to be
progressive, and old enough to be con-
sentative. His long years of profess
ional and business life passed in our
midst, entitle him, not only to our full
est confidence, but the hearty support
Of the entire community and the state;
and we believe he will receive it.
