INSURGENTS ARE REJOICING
Assert They Have an Overwhelming
Majority in the state
Convention

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., May 22-(Specal
Telegram. )-Returns from the republican
county conventions hled throughout the
state today leave not the slightest ques-
ton about the reelection of Robert J.
Gamble to the United States senate. The
insurgent faction Of the republicans, Of
which he Is one of the leaders, asserts II
will have not less than 800 Of the 1859 dele
gates who will be entitled to seats in the
state convention, which will be held in
Sioux Falls on June 5.
The fight has been an animated one. The
leaders of the "stalwart" faction are Sena-
tor Kittredge and Congressman Martin and
Burke, the plan OF the stalwarts having
been to have Congressman Martin elected
as the successor of Senator Gamble. Sena-
tor Gamble tonight is receiving the con-
gratuations Of his friends throughout the
state. The result of the county conven-
tions. it is asserted. also insures the nomi-
nation Of Coe 1. Crawford, former attor-
ney general of South Dakota, to the ONCE

gressmen Martin and Burke and the sub

| gent" faction.

While on the face Of the returns from

have in the neighborhood Of not less thar
800 delegates, IT is confidently expected thai
this figure will be increased 100 or more
by the time the state convention meets, as
several counties which were carried by
the "stalwarts" are asserted to be prac'
tically certain to go to the ''insurgents'
for the protection OF their own interests.

WHAT SHOULD THE GOVERNOR sAY7

T. 1t is>rumored that when the gov
ernor opens his campaign he will de-
clare that there is mo better protec-
ZIONIST in Iowa" than he is. We hope
he will do nothing of the kind. We have
believed ne was sincere when advocat-
ing the immediate revision Of the Ding
ley law on the lines of lower schedules.
He is the republican candidate, and
this Dingley tariff newspaper is sup
porting him, but we don't want him to
trail his colors in order to please the
tariff men. We will not ours in order
to r,lease the revisionists If he de-
clares that he is a Dingley tariff law
supporter now he will lose more pro-
gressive votes than he will stalwarts
by sticking to his revision text.-Mar-
ion Register.
Yes, but If the governor heeds this
appeal to his sincerity, what is he go
ing to do with the August platform Of
1906, which pronounces uncompromis-
ingly in favor of the American system
OF protection, and condemns without
reserve" all assaults upon that sys-
tenn? And, if the governor remains
true to his former declarations, what
will he do with the republican cam
>
which declares that "protectionists are
content to let the present law stand
without change or amendment so long
as present conditions prevail?"
The above two forms of worriment
are common to those republicans who
met defeat in the recent state conven-
tion. One critic is man enough to sup-
port the nominee the other is not The
particular fear expressed by each is
common to other newspapers of their
kind, so let's consider IN seriousness
the questions they ask regardless of
what we may think of the motives back
of the questions themselves.
