PIERRE sympathizers are trying to
influence voters in the towns contain
ing state institutions by the cry that
the removal OF the capital might start
removal oftany or all OF the state in
stitntions. Il never has been shown
that the state university would be any
better off at Huron than 1t is at Yer
million, or that the boys reform school
would serve the state better at Water
town than at Plankinton. In each Of
these cases there Is something TO re-
move which would entail a heavy ex-
pense on the state; at Pierre there is
nothing TO move, only ramshackle
old skating rink that would drop apart
before 1t was half way 10 Blunt up the
gumbo bluffs or around the dizzy curves
OF the Northwestern railway The
Presbyterians had college at Pierre
and several years ago thew moved 1t to
Huron where they could draw students
from more than one point OF the com
pass. Why should NOT the state emu
late their example?

The South Dakota democrats who
read the national platform of their
party and find no mention whatever of
free silver, the iasNn that has been the
slogan OF the party for the past eight
years, and is almost synonymous with
the name of Bryan, and then read the
state platform renewing allegiance to
that popular leader of true democracy,
William Jennings Bryan" find them
selves in the position of Paddy Walsh.
Paddy had been to town and as usual
had imbibed little too freely. About
night he started for home with his
yoke Of oxen and lumber wagon. After
going few miles the team stopped,
and Paddy being somewhat drowsy
and thinking he had reached home.
got out ard unhitched the oxen and
lay down to sleep. In the morning he
awoke, and seeing the wagon with no
team attached he began to soliloquize:
"Am / Paddy Walsh or ain't I Paddy
alWsh? II / am Paddy Walsh I've
lost team OF oxen. II / amt Paddy
Walsh I've found wagon" So the
South Dakota Democrats may well say:
'tAm ! democrat or amt a democratf
II am democrat I've lost a favorite
issue. II amt democrat I've found
new popular leader of true democ-
racy Scotland Citizen Republican.

CLOTHES AS AN ISSUE.

1t was al Armour paper that started
the great democratic issue Of clothing
the greatest yet brought out in this
campaign-by making sighting re-
marks regarding Sam Elrod's clothes.
Last week another Armour paper, the
Chronicle Tribune, trimmed out the 9th
er candidate for governor in the fol-
lowing manner:
L. N. Grill, the demopop candidate
for governor, spent Monday night in
the city. Like ourselves, ne was be-
hind the door when good looks were
served out, and like our Sam Elrod, he
Is not a dresser By any means, did not
wear collar just like our Sam-and
his clothes looked as though he was
weighed for them, they fit him like a
lshirt--that does not touch anywhere
That's the man they expect to elect for
governor In lieu of Sam Etrod. Oh no.

Olaf Eidem, nominated at Aberdeen
for attorney general on the d ,mocratic
ticket and born and brought up In this
county, joins the procession and de.
clines to stand as candidate. Follow
ing is his letter to the chairman OF the
state democratic committee, giving his
reasons for this action:
Brookings<S. d., Aug. 2, 1904.
John Nj. Martin, Chairman Demo-
cratic State Committee, Watertown, S
d. Dear Sir-Having been unofficially
notified of my nomination for the Office
OF attorney general, take this oppor-
tunity TO thank the delegates of the
convention, and TO convey TO them
through you my appreciation OF the
recognition as an attorney and citizen
which your convention gave me. Also
to express my highest regard for the
personnel OF the ticket which your
party nominated at the Aberdeen con-
ventiOn.
/ have for the past year, on numer
Gus occasions, expressed my conviction
that ''if a democrat of The Cleveland
stripe were nominated by the national
convention" I should not hesitate to
support Theodore Roosevelt, and I find
nothing in the platform or resolutions
passed by the national or state conven-
tion to change my opinion; and, there
for, cannot allow my name to remain
on the ticket OF convention that with
out reserve indorses the Parker and
Davis democracy
It is true that / supported William
j. Bryan in his campaigns for the rea-
son that he stood for the west and pro-
gress against the plutocrats OF the east.
Conditions, however, in my opinions
are reversed. Roosevelt, instead OF
Parker, stands for the west and against
Wall street and the money power OF
east.
Again thanking the delegates of the
convention for the honor which they
conferred upon me, and regretting that
conditions are such that / cannot con-
sistently allow my name to remain on
the ticket, l beg to remain
Yours respectfully,
OLAF EIDEM
