PEITICREW EWDOESNTDENYALL

Has Lost sight Entirely of
the various Reform
Parties.

"Ah, they don't know what they are
talking about. l haven't told anybody
to announce me as a candidate for gov
ernor. They are just talking"
This is the humorous manner in which
r. F. Pettigrew, former senator from
South Dakota, met the question yester-
day, ''Is 1t true you are going to run
for governor of South Dakota on the re-
publican ticket?"
In that inimitable way of his, the for
mer companion of Charley TOwne and
other silver republican leaders and erst-
while populists smiled and said
II am not I'm politics." when asked If
he had returned TO his first love, the re-
publican party.
II is an open secret that ever since
that blue Monday some five years ago
when. through a quiet tip from his good
friend James ]. HILL Mr.. Pettigrew was
able to clean UP $3.50 900 in the Burlington
Northern Pacific tug-of-war, he has been
able to see less need for the services OF
the populist, silver republican demo-
cratic parties
But, senator. they do say you are going
to- be a candidate on the republican ticket
for the gubernatorial nomination." was
suggested.

Il can't help what they say. can IT,
rejoined the whilom statesman, smiling
another of those knowing smiles native TO
South Dakota But I'll tell you one
thing" he added, "the republicans know
who to be afraid Of" and then he winked
one eye. There's one thing sure; have
been elected to Office when 1 wanted to be. "
This is an age Of the literature OF
exposure and the magazines are doing
some good work" said the senator, by way
Of variety. 1T is the entering wedge that
will sooner or later destroy hide-bound
partisanship. Governor LaFollette of Wis
consin, Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia and
Governor Folk of Missouri are types of o
new era in our political economy that bode
well for the political future of the country
Ida NJ. Tarbell and Lincoln Steffens are
both doing a good work, but true reform
must come from within ourselves. The
system of graft must be destroyed, root
and branch, and It is incumbent upon us
to uphold the men who are brave enough
to fight the dragon of graft in its owr
lair. I think this wave of warfare OF
graft and corruption in high places 1,
destined to grow with resistless force unit
official corruption will become so intol
erable that we may yet hope for honesty
and see the punishment of violators Of
public trusts"
Mr.. Pettigrew was accompanied by Mrs
Pettigrew. They left for Salt Lake Thurs
day evening, where Senator Pettigrew goei
to look after his mining interests in tha
vicinity, which are quite extensive.
