that paper was either misinformed or
was willfully biased in it's opinion,
were disposed to condemn the publ
cation: Last Monday however, the
Journal changed its views and now
says the insurgents have won the
victory and believes they will have
S61 votes in the state convention.
Coming as this does from an outside
source bears evidence that the anti
machine has a strong lead that can
not be met by the machine element.
The Aberdeen News, a p~ostoffice ma
chine organ says: 1.-THE latest instan-
ce Of outside Misrepresentation is con-
tanned in the Sioux City Journal,
which, in an editorial, insists that
the insurgents won at the Republican
caucuses and will control the state
convention. During the campaign
the Journal rather leaned toward the
stalwart cause, and its sudden change
of attitude would be startling were it
not so characteristic OF that paper"
What would lead the Journal to
change its base? Is this not evidence
enough that the Journal has found its
position u~nwarranted and had
changed its opinions to conform with
the facts.

Crane Admits Defeat

Chairman Frank Crane, OF the
"Machine''-We are beaten. There is
no use in longer denying it. The
insurgents will have a good clear
majority in the state convention.
Reports are to the effect that they
have in the neighborhood Of 500 dele
gates and / guess they are very nearly
correct. We acknowledge defeat with
good grace and from now on we in
South Dakota are all just plain Re-
publicans without any qualifications.
The stalwarts will turn in and help
the insurgents elect their state ticket
Just as graciously as the insurgents
turned in and helped us two years
ago.

Advices from Washington lead
some to believe that Senator Kittredge
has been attempting to block the
canal proposition. All winter the
senator has been laboring to have the
sea level plan adopted and it has been
limited that he was working in the
interest Of the railroads because the
sea level canal would take longer to
complete. 1t is known that he was
not working in harmony with the
house, nor with President Roosevelt
who tavors the lock system. Yester-
days dispatches stated that-"The
going home of Senator kittredge
threatens to upset the status quo in
the senate Of the canal question. He
has devoted the winter to laboring for
a canal at sea level, and just as he
seemed to have won his fight he is
called away by the political situation
in South Dakota, and may not return
to Washington until the canal matter
has been definitely settled. His
going away will leave the senate
committee by a close vote in favor of
a lock canal, thus placing that COM
mittee in line with the president, the
canal committee and the house of
representatives."

An Insurgent Victory

Although the stalwarts were still
claiming victory for their state can
didates yesterday, the returns indi-
cate that the insurgents will have a
good working majority in the South
Dakota Republican convention to be
held at Sioux Falls on June 5. This
will mean the return of Senator Gam
BILE to his present seat in the United
States senate and the nomination OF
the "insurgent" slate for state officers,
headed by Coe l. Crawford, of Huron.
The contest which was brought to a
show down in the caucuses last Tues.
day was as pretty a piece Of political

During the entire campaign the
Sioux City Journal, which has always
been and still is very conservative,
did everything it could to assist the
machine organization in this state.
Any report sent to that paper by the
insurgents was 'cut" and pruned
until it was of no value to anyone
while the machine was given full
sway. Not only this but the clippings
taken from South Dakota newspapers

Has Another Guess Coming

Mcleod in his Aberdeen Daily
News, the last issue before the eau.
cuses, says "After a careful survey Of
the situation rel the state, the News
presents the following summary-the
stalwarts having 84S delegates abso-
lutely, the insurgents 223, with 2S7
doubtful" The day following the
caucuses Macs figures ran thuswise-
stalwarts 723, insurgents 5S7, doubt
full SO. The latter, Potter, Sphinx and
Sully counties with its 50 votes all
feel into the insurgent column and
'.then some"-we think Mac was
figuring for the insurgents and his
compositor changed copy on him.

fighting as South Dakota has ever
seen. An illustration OF the narrow
margin by which the victory was
scored is found in the close vote in
Minnehaha county, including the
state metropolis Of Sioux Falls. This
county with its eighty-six delegates
really decided the fight. In Sioux
Falls the stalwarts got ffty-one dele
gates to the county convention and
the insurgents f~orty-eight. OF the
total vote the stalwarts. had S95 and
the insurgents 1913. OF the 253 dele
gates in the county convention the
insurgents got 1S9 and the stalwarts
ia. The changing OF a very few votes
in several Sioux Falls wards would
have changed the outcome in the
state.
The present outcome is the sequel
Of the vigorous fight Mr.. Crawford
waged for the g~overnorship two years
ago. The result then was an over
whelming stalwart victory, although
Mr.. Crawford laid the foundation of
the effective organization with which
he entered the campaign this year.
His stock of campaign material also
was increased by the refusal of the
last legislature to submit to the popu-
lar vote a primary law for which a
referendum petition had been circu-
lated. The legislature, controlled by
the old organization, alleged that the
petition had not been properly cir
culated, and instead Of submitting a
primary law passed the honest caucus
law which had its first trial last Tues
day. There is little doubt that the
statewide primary would have been
defeated if submitted to the popular
vote. The Legislature made a strate-
gic error in not submitting it after
the referendum requirements had
been met in form at least.
The Crawford movement also re-
ceived an impetus from the effort to
retire Senator Gamble and give one
of the senatorships to the Black Hills.
Senator Gamble had made a good
record in the senate. He was popular
throughout the state. He had always
been identified with the old organiza-
ton, and there was complaint among
his friends that the organization wa
ungrateful in withdrawing its support
in favor of Representative Martin.
The Black Hills casts only about one
ninth of the Republican vote of the
state, and there was free use of the
argument that the Hills had been
given its full share in Of the two
representatives. Although Mr.. Gam
BILE had not previously been in SYM
pathy with the Crawford movement,
the withdrawal of organization sup
port forced him into an alliance with
the Huron candidate, and the on
bination proved to be a winning one.
In the light of the returns it is exceed
ingly doubtful if the Crawford slate
could have without the strength
it gained from the alliance with Sena-
tor Gamble. Senator Gamble has
every reason to feel gratified over the
outcome. Sioux City Journal.

WILL THEY DARE

It is not to be wondered at that the
machine element of the Republican
party was dumfounded at the result OF
the caucuses. They had claimed so
much and had given the rank and
file element so little to hope for that
naturally the reverses took away the
machines wind and they began catch
ing at straws by which to save them
from utter humiliation. At first
Frank Crane honestly reported the
counties as they had gone, but when
he discovered that overwhelming
defeat for the machine was the result
he changed his tactics and began
claiming counties which he at first
admitted were in the insurgent
column. The ~postoffice newspapers
were at once posted to repeat these
claims in face of the fact that private
reports, received from all the counties
claimed by the machine, were con-
Trajectory and in every instance
positively denied that there was any
truth in the statements which were
being made by the machine. AS a
sample of these denials of the ma
chimes claims We publish a letter
received from Hon. S. w. Clark OF
Sphinx county, who is a candidate for
attorney general. Mr.. Clark says:
Redfeld, S. D. May 10, 1906.
Messrs butcher & Breed.
Bookings, S. D.
Dear Sirs and Friends:-
Some conflicting reports have been
sent out from Sphinx county concern
ing my attitude in this campaign.
In view OF this l desire to say to my
friends and to the public that my
fight in Sphinx county has been based
on a clear and explicit ~antimachine
platform. Every public utterance by
me and every interview with the voters
of this county has been emphatic on
this point. There is no misunder-
standing as to my position here. l
hope there may be none in the state.
l have maintained the position that
legitimate organization and machin-
ism are absolutely foreign to each
other.
While | can not state what the
results Of our County Convention
may be, yet | do know that the senti-
ment of our county is absolutely
antimachine. / carried the county
on this basis by a majority OF over
three to one.
Sincerely Yours,
S. w. Clark.
There is no doubt about the state
and the only way the machine can
hope to control the state convention is
by absolutely stealing it away from
the people who have by their votes
denounced bossism in the strongest
terms. The insurgents have given
the machine every point legitimately
belonging to them and even more
and we believe that the boss element
will not have to exceed 400 votes in
the state convention unless they carry

This leaves for the machine, outsidey
OF the Hills, only 421 votes.

called to the fact that they are claim.
ing Roberts county and preparing to
contest the same.
In this county there are SO precincts,
entitled to a total of ISL delegates. In
II precincts, representing so delegates,
no ticket was put up by the machine.
Out OF all the precincts in which there
were tickets put up, only II delegates
were elected for the machine, to 1854 in
all elected for the insurgents.
There is not a particle OF ground
upon which to base a contest, and to
attempt it will be to attempt an out
rage unequalled in political history.
To attempt to contest this or other
counties in which safe maiorities have
been registered against the machine,
will be but to make those who attempt
it commit premeditated fraud.
In reference to the claims of the Ar
gus-Leader, that two sets of caucuses
were held throughout Roberts county,
the representatives from that county
declare the statement unqualifedly
false. The caucuses were all held un-
der the officers OF the several precincts
as appointed by the machine organi-
zation.

At a meeting held at Sioux Falls on
Thursday, at which sixty-two strong
representative insurgents were present,
a specific and authentic report vas
made from all the counties east of the
Missouri river, and counties west OF it
excepting only the six Black Hills
counties, and such reports were based
on personal and precinct returns. It
was the conviction Of every man present
that the insurgents have carried the
state and will have a majority OF over
142 delegates in the next state conven-
ton.
The meeting wal enthusiastic in the
extreme and the gentlemen present
were all in dead earnest and propose
that the will of the people as expressed
at the caucuses on May 10Th shall not
be defeated by and methods Of fraud.

Immiuraiion Restriction.

The pending immigration bill In Con-
gress is sectional, because 1t is an as
sault upon the growth and develop
ment of the south. The cities and sec
lions and interests that are gorged
with immigrants propose to suit them
selves regardless of the south, which
sorely needs white labor, and particu-
larly white farmers.
Just when the south is In way to
get what it wants a proposition is
made to exclude immigrants by apply
ing at the ports an educational quail
fication and headship tax of five dol
lars. Both are blows aimed at the
south. Both were devised by men hos
tile to the south.
The educational test will keep out
many Italians and other south-of-Eu-
rope immigrants, and it is particularly
unwise. They desire to come here in
order to hctter their condition, and
lust as soon as they can do that they
will give their children educational
advantages.
The long and short of the matter is,
the congested north proposes to rob
the south of the opportunities 1t had
had to the full limit of its capacity
The entire southern vote should be
lined up against the bill. 1t means
that white south is to be rendered
impossible. 1t means that five-dollar
head tax is more than the develop
ment of the cotton industry. 1t is ex.
clusion, which is unwise. 1t does not
refer to the undesirable at all, for de
sirabls immigrants from the south OF
Europe often cannot read and write
and many of them cannot pay five
dollar head tax. When we invite
man to come here to grow up with the
