Sioux Fails, S. D.. June 6.--.Thc re-
suit of the republican state convention
means an entirely new deal in the state
administration and state politics and
Coe /. Crawford and his associates, aft
er more than two years of strenuous
and persistent efforts. Will after jan
uary l next find themselves in abso-
lutte control of South Dakota. Should
they also succeed in capturing the les
islature they will enact the laws for
which they have stood throughout their
campaign. One of these is a state pri-
mary, and If they succeed in putting
this through, as 1t is generally expected
they will, the convention just con-
cluded will be the last political con-
vention to be held in South Dakota for
some years at least and perhaps in
definitely.
Praise for Crawford.
Even the political enemies of Coe L.
Crawford concede that he will give the
state q good administration. At this
time it may not be out of place TO state
that Governor Elrod. who was defeated
i for q denomination by the surprising
strength of the insurgents, can be
proud of the personal record he has
made during the period he has been
governor of this young and progressive
state. He has won a reputation for
honesty and uprightness which no de-
feat can tarnish.
1t is notable fact that his admin
filtration has been of SO clean a chnrac-
ter that during the hot campaign pc
Tween the insurgents and the COVER
| nor's stalwart friends not one of the
present state officials, elective or APP
pointive, has been charged with even
the slightest violation of the oath of
| his office. The record made by them
4
l which all of them have reason to be
proud.
The platform pays a glowing tribute
to President Roosevelt and pledges re-
newed adherence to the republican
principles Of protection, though de-
manding free lumber in the interest of
American home builders.

4 state central committee. The invoca-
ton was by Rev. G. g. Notson, Of
