GAMBLE NOT AN ISSUE.

The Argus-Leader congratulates
itself upon having thrown boomshell
into the insurgent camp, to use its
own expression. 1t consisted of the
publication of three letters purport-
ing to be from Senator Gamble to
three supposed individuals at Pierre
(the Argus-Leader gives no names)
in which the senator declared against
the primary system. The AL. makes
the most of it, and arguring from the
false premises assumed it is hot
shot. But bless you, it has been
known all the time that Gamble was
not an advocate of primary law.
At the same time it has been known
that the entire congressional delega-
ton was against it. Didn't the Aber-
deem News, the most consistent and
prominent machine organ In the state
come out openly few months ago
and say that the congressional dele
CATION and the state officers were
against the primary system excepting
Attorney General Hall, who was on
record the other way. Further, even
the Argus Leader fails to show by the
letters purporting to have come from
Gamble that he (Gamble) was in
favor of refusing to submit the ques-
ton in accordance with the constitu-
ton. The AL. relies upon the noise
it makes to confuse its readers, and
from the general tone of the articles
to infer that Gamble opposed the
submission. 1t would create a false
impression without coming out with
the bare false statement.

the present time it claims to be re-
publican, but is supporting the enc
mics of the Roosevelt administration.
1t has been opposed to Roosevelt's
policies, such as railroad legislation.
At the present time it claims to sup
port those policies, but it is for the
same reason that Kittredge announces
his conversion at the eleventh hour
and 59th minute there is no hope
for the defeat of railroad legislation.
Two years ago it was opposed to the
submission of the primary to vote
of the people for adoption or rejection
and supported the Legislature in is
violation of the constitution. Now it
claims to before it, and it is for the
reason given before there is no hope
of its defeat During this campaign
it has tried to straddle the issues.
But this constant swinging about the
circle is no new thing for the Times.
1t is republican today, if you take its
word for it, and something else to-
morrow.
The fact is, the Times is political
tramp and can always be found where
it smells the dinner cooking. The
old woman who started to cross the
creek ON log said, '''God is good, and
the devil amt bad" That expresses
the policy of the Times. There was a
time when the Times was willing
to be classed as '"silverite, "a green
backer," or in favor of any party OPP
posed to some of the principles now
held by the republican party.
In 1894 the Times editor was a
populist, or peoples party man, and

The Independent has never been
a stright out republican paper, but il
thinks it has caught a popular cord
and would make people believe, if il
can, that all who are not members OF
the Roosevelt club whether permit
ted to become members or not are
against our fearless president. Times
The Times is driven to desperate
straits. 1t is afraid of the real issues
in this campaign, and fearful of the
result to the System" which it has
served. In casting about for some
thing to say it thinks it has landed on
a subject that will drive the INDEPEND-
ENT into hole. This writer has nc
apologies to make for having been
allied with the populist party for a
number of years, and it makes no ex.
causes for supporting the republican
party for the last three years. The
writer votes the republican ticket, and
the columns of the INDEPENDENT sup
port the republican administration
If that does not make this paper re-
publican, the Times may think and
say what it pleases.
But the Times is not true repub-
lican, and never has been at any time
during our acquaintance with it. Al

the county records show that he sign
ed the certificates of nomination OF
populist candidates as chairman of
the county convention. Also, the
records show that he acted as secre-
tary of populist convention held for
the purpose of nominating populist

Lake Preston district.

The machine has been counting up
on the solid delegation from the Black
Hills, and until about two weeks ago
the insurgents never questioned the
claim. But time changes all things.
The revolt against the corporation
machine is spreading like fire in the
Hills. Rapid City, Pen ing ton
county, is solid for Buell. for congress
the Lead Call and Spearish Enter
prise, two of Martins home county
papers are out in open revolt, and the
Sturgis Press, a former machine paper
of Meade county, has joined the fight
against the machine. Other papers
in the southern part Of the Hills are
also in the fight. 1t looks now as If
Martin would be able to do no more
than hand over half the Hills delega-
tion to the machine, and perhaps not
that much. AT any rate Martin, it is
said, will let the government run it,
self while he comes home to repair
his political fences.

But, Gamble is not the issue in this
campaign. The effort of the AL. is
to divert the attention of the voters
of the state. When the time comes
to elect senator, if the people want
Gamble, all well and good. If not
let Gamble stay at home. One thing
is certain Gamble can be no worse
now than when first elected by the
machine.

Finland Congress.

st. Petersburg, Oct 6.--The con-
gress meets today in Finland by per-
mission of the government, which has
become satisfied that the opposition
and repression it meted out to the
members has worked no good, and
accordingly it consented to the meet
ing of the congress, so long as it did
not meet in st. Petersburg The con-
.stitutional democrats have eloborat-
ed plans for the coming parliamentary
elections, and have held nightly ses-
sions for sometime. The committee
of the constitutionalists is highly sat
isfied with the new position of the
government, a member declaring that
the earlier prohibition has served the
purpose of 1consolit; ;lting Ithe party
and preventing a schism, which was
expected after the issuance of the Vo-
borg manifesto This manifesto will
probably be kept in the background
at the convention, the party leaders
now being convinced that its issuance
was technical mistake due to insist

the non-payment of taxes nor the re-
fusal Of military service, member

tical measure at present. The Oc-
toberists and the regenerationists
have been in conference on the
matter of corporation, and have sue
ceeded in reaching an agreement on

gramme, but are still divided as
were the conservative liberals in the
spring campaign on minor points.

Washington, Oct. 6.--Owing to the

Secretary Taft has been asked by
cable If, in his judgment, 1t is neces-
sary to send to the island more troops
than the 900 now on board the trans

and meanwhile the preparations will

present intention of departing from
the programme originally outlined for
the dispatch of troops for Cuba and

in addition to those originally ordered
to Cuba, will be sent will, 1t is de-
clared, depend upon Secretary Taft's
report on the conditions there.

Powers Of Mobile county. who is re-
turning from Birmingham with the
two Mobile negroes charged with rape.
The committee expected to meet the
sheriff and the prisoner about thirty
miles north of Mobile 1t was not
known what the programme was, but
the feeling here was that the priso-
ners would be taken from the sheriff
and lynched or burned outside of Mo-
bile.
Two thousand men met the Louis
vile & Nashville train this morning
but were disappointed at the non-ar-
rival of the sheriff and the prisoners,
who had gone by another route.
Sheriff Powers with prisoners ar
rived at Thomasville, Ala, ninety
seven miles north of Mobile. They

There was no militia aboard the train.
Much excitement prevailed in Mobile.
Two hundred masked men met Sher-
iff Powers with the two negroes,
charged with assault, at the Richard
son switch, three miles north of Mo-
bile ON the Southern railway, took his
prisoners from him and hanged them
on the spot.
No others were hurt The negroes
had been taken to Birmingham for safe
keeping and were being brought to
Mobile for trial.
Tremendous crowds surrounded the
railroad station during the morning.
When the report of the lynching of
the negroes was received the greatest
excitement prevailed. The crowd, APP
parently, was dissatisfied with the
manner of the lynching and the mob
departed for the scene of the lynching
for the purpose of burning the bodies.
