a ROOSEVELT. LEAGUE.

.rrhe argus Leddey's Huron corre-
spondeut tells OF the formation at HUI
ron OF the Stale Roosevelt Republican
League. Steps were taken to organize
the league in every county in the state.
Our correspondent says that the mem
bership is made up wholly -of what
are termed insurgents, and the init
nation is given out that no stalwart
nsed apply for membership.
In other words, the announcement Is
that, though South Dakota gave Roose-
velt 5000 majority in the astelection,
and though there is not an anti-Roose-
velt republican 10 the state, the Craw-
ford faction hopes TO be able to monopo-
lie the presidents popularity, and use
1t 10 help them control the ii xt state
convention. Stated in this form, the
proposition seems bald and Grass
enough, but this is exactly what it
psels down to.
The keynote of the new league Is q
campaign for statewide primary.
That is the oaly real issae. Just Why
President Roosevelt should be quoted
in favor OF a state wide primary we do
not know. He has never uttered one
word in It's favor, and his record as a
conservative public man can hardly be
constructed In favor OF such a plan.
Aside from the primary, every re-
publican in the state could well belong
to the new league, for there is perhaps
not republican voter In the state who
Is not heart and soul believer in the
president.

As trade-pnller IL is an open ques-
tion whether or not 1t was success.
Some OF our merchants, especially our

others saw little difference. The peo-

not to trade; they certainly had u
pleasant time and at Elk Points ex-

early life he determined to be an artist.
His father undertook to teach Ra-
phaeI but he soon found that his son
was better artist than himself, SO he
sent him to Perugino, a well known art
ist. His teacher however, discovered
that he was not competent to teach
young Sanzio. Raphael painted many
sacred pictures, among which are @The
Holy Family and "The Transfigura-
tlon OF Christ
In 1908 he was directed By the pope,
Julius IT,, to paint upon the walls OF
ST. Peters, which he did very cleverly.
He died of fever in 1920, and the world
lost one Of its greatests painters.
