Sioux Falls, S. d., June G.--The re-
suit of the republican state convention
means an entirely new deal in the state
administration and state politics and
Coo j. Crawford and his associates. aft
er more than two years of strenuous
and persistent efforts. will after Jam
uary l next find themselves in abso-
they also succeed in capturing the leg
islature they will enact the laws for
which they have stood throughout their
campaign. One of these is a state pr1-
mary. and if they succeed in putting
this through. as it 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 tho political enemies of Coe L.
Crawford concede that he will give the
state good administration. AT this
time it may not be out of place to state
that Governor Elrod. who was defeated
for denomination by the surprising
strength of the insurgents, can be
proud of the personal record he has
governor of this young and progressive
state. He has won Il reputation for
honesty and uprightness which no de-
feat can tarniSh.
1t is a notable fact that his admin
istration has been of SO clean ch.rac
ter that during the hot campaign be-
tween the insurgents and the COVER
nor's stalwart friends not one of the
present state officials, elective or APP
pointivc. has beer charged with even
the slightest Violation of the oath of
his office. The record made by them
has been an unusually clean one. OF
which all of them have reason to be
proud. ~
The platform pays a glowing tribute
to President Roosevelt and pledges re-
principles of protection. though de-
manding free lumber in the interest of
American home builders.
