Wonder If Col. Arthur Linn of the
Canton Leader has found out yet that
the Hon. E. w. Martin is candidate
for the United States senate? We
have no doubt about 1t down this way
in spite OF the ColOnel's inside inform
alton. ELK POINT COURIER.
Yes, Brother Bruce, we have found
out that Congressman E. w. Martin is
candidate for the senate, but he
comes before the people under such
peculiar conditions that we cannot
support him. He was brought out by
Congressman Burke and others inter
ested in the slaughter OF Senator Gam
BILE. Mr.. Martin won distinction and
honor In the house and would have
been satisfied with that had the politi.
cal bosses let him alone. He attended
q meeting at Aberdeen last June when
q few men OF the Tammany order ol
politics decreed that Mr.. Martin must
come out to down Mr.. Gamble Some
Ut the men invited to that conference
stood by Senator Gamble but there
were enough bosses present to over
ride wisdom and good politics and
Gamble must be slaughtered to please
Mr.. Burke who was the leading ad
vocate OF slaughter and the worsr
political blunder ever committed In ths
state.
Governor Herreid stood manfulll
for Senator CANDLES right to SECOND
term, but bulldozer Burke said Gambl,
must be killed Off and the edict wen
forth.
When the smoke of the June con
sention clears away you will find Mr.
Burke outside Of the breastworks cues

CONGRESSMAN II BURKE announces
himself a candidate for reelection, bas-
ing his claim entirely upon his record
while in congress. His announcement
is most definite and unequivocal
statement OF entire harmony with the
president on the rate revision matter.
backed up BY his record as member
OF the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce and his vote and
speech in favor of the Esch Townsend
bill. This ought to gut to rest the
persistent Misrepresentation of Mr..
Burke's position which the insurgents
have kept up until very recently. II
is difficult TO see what more any ar
dent friend of the president could ask
than this straightforward and en-
phatic announcement OF Mr.. Burke.
He will be renominated and reelected
rs he should be.

stalwart and successful in naming the
ticket"

THE Sioux Falls Press, chief mis-
chief maker for republican politics,
represents in purported Elk Point
special that the Union county political
pot is seething and sputtering with
pent up energies and that an explosion
Is imminent At any moment, with the
democratic donkey hungrily waiting TO
feed upon the mutilated fragments
An attempt is made to set the north
end" aud the s'south end" at each
others ears. Prof. Kephart is rep
resented rs having "done more for the
organization than any other man In the
county" and Mr.. Ringsrud as always
fighting him for some unknown reason.
Editorially the Press says Mr.. Rings
rud is an insurgent; in the news
columns it is stated that he is still with
the machine-you pays your money and
takes your choice. Mr.. Ericsson Is said
to be actively planning for the nomina-
tion for governor on the iEsurgeut
ticket and Prot. French is likely to be
appointed DIR. Dropper's successor as
president OF the state university in the
event of machine" success. It is cur
rently reported that ''yellowismn has
recently been cast out of one Sioux
Falls journal. II this be true, then
evidently the yellow swine of Martin.
daleism has taken unto itself seven
other yellow devils and the last state
OF Sioux Falls yellow journalism is
worse than the fret.

and Mr.. Martin will be denouncing the
trickery Of Burke for getting him into
such nasty muss and out of congress.
Yes, Brother Bruce, we have found
out that Mr. M,rtin is a candidate and
in our judgment it is the worst politi-
cal move he ever made, because ma

silence has fallen on the Dell Rapids

Is the time to speak or else remain
silent forever afterwards.
