The Same Kind of Cat

AS Clate Tinan publishes "the only
strictly moral newspaper in South
Dakota" we may be pardoned for
republishing the following from his
Kimball Graphic:
The repeated assurance on the part
OF the stalwarts that 1--WE are all repub-
licans now" and that they would all
work for Crawford and others nomi-
mated on the machine slate at Sioux
Falls reminds the graphic Of the story
of the little girl and the neighbours
cat that had scratched her. Seeing the
cat across the yard a few days later
she looked after the retreating feline
with distinct disapproval, remarking
the while: "There goes that damned
cat OF the Browns" Her grandfather
standing within hearing distance was
thunderstruck and the small girl was
reprimanded and told that ladies
never used such words and a lot more
talk along the same lines. G%randaugh-
ter appeared greatly impressed and
grandfather concluded that he had
done a great act. The next evening,
as the little girl stood by the window,
again the cat went by. The memory
Of those scratches still fingered, so did
the memory of last evenings lecture.
For a moment she hesitated, then she
turned to her grandfather with deter
mination:: in her eye: Grandpa" she
exclaimed, there goes that-there
goes that-that same kind of a cat of
the Browns 1t was yesterday"

placed in the latter position. This
gave the machine delegates a chance
to easily confer with their friends and
to stampede the convention-several
attempts being madeto do SO. 1t was
apparent that the machine forces
wanted to keep their organization in
tact and to send their delegates home
feeling that theyshad no part in the
nomination OF the ticket. By SO do
ing the bosses would be in good form
to 60 forward during the coming leg
i~slative campaign and endeavor to Sc
cure control OF the legislature by Sc
Letting men who would oppose meas
ures which are in harmony with the
platform adopted by the convention
and at the same time try and defeat
Senator Gamble. There can be no
other plausible cause for such action
and unless there was some reason for
SO doing their persistency in putting
up nominees only to have them de-
feated, would have been foolish to say
the least. II the machine fellows had
acted in true spirit-had gone in and
made the nominations unanimous
there would be no reason for the sus-
picion that every effort will be made by

Firemen's Tournament

The twenty-third annual State Fire
mems tournament will take place in
Sioux Falls next week commencing
Tuesday and closing Friday. This
tournament is to be made one equal
to the old time tournaments when the
greatest of enthusiasm was displayed
in the numerous contests. $500 in
cash prizes has been hung up for hose
races, hook and ladder races and
coupling contests, etc., and besides
there will be band contests every day
for large cash prizes.
This will be a gala week in Sioux
Falls in every respect and that city
has made great preparations for enter
tanning the people and giving them
one OF the best times they ever enjoyed
any place. Besides the tournament
there will be a street festival put on,
by the Great Parker Amusement COM
pany. AThis company carries all the
great entertaining features of q
Worlds fair. They have a wonderful
animal show, Beautiful Switzerland,
the Katzenjammer castle, the Erup-
ton OF Mount Vesuvius, the beautiful
c~arry-us-all, penny arcade and many
others. Not one show obiectional in
any way. They carry three great free
attractions.
Halt fare has been given on all
railroads.. and hotel rates will be
found right.

Victory in South Dakota

Washington Times: There is more
evidence that this is going to be a bad
season for the political boss and his
little machine. The tendency of the
people to keep awake when it is long
past time for them once more to doze
off and lose interest, may we'll concern
the politicians. Last year was a very
bad one for what in polite terms is
called the organization in politics,
which means the monopoly OF politi-
cal power, pull and perquisites. This
spring opens with indications OF
equally forbidding conditions.
One of the symptoms was displayed
out in the little state OF South Dakota
on Tuesday. That state has had for
years a perfection Of machine rule
hardly surpassed anywhere. Marcus
A. Hanna founded the machine there,
being inspired to especial interest in
the affairs of that modest community
because it had produced Richard
franklin Pettigrew, his pet aversion.
Determined to have the political scalp
OF P%ettigrew, Hanna organized for a
fight on him, personally invaded the
state in 1900, and accomplished his
enemy's rout. The organization per-
fected for that fight has been perpe-
tuated in full powerful this week.
With that famous incapacity, char
acteristic of machines, to understand
what the outside public is thinking
about, this South Dakota machine
issued an edict that Senator Gamble
would not edo" He wasn't a good
enough organization man. He didn't
take orders with proper grace, nor did
he always follow them. So he was
read out, and the organization made
Congressman Martin its candidate for
the senate. All the powers of politics
lined up against Gamble, headed by
the railroads, Senator Kittredge, and
the congressman from the state. 1t
was Gamble against everybody.
Except the people. The people raj
lied to the man whom the bosses had
rejected. The fight has been on for
nearly a year, and on Tuesday, in
the primaries, which were held SIM
ultaneously all over the state, defeated
the bosses, and overwhelming declared
for Gamble. He and his friends will
control the state convention. AS they
had the opposition of the entire Off
ciary Of the state, their victory means
that everybody will be turned out and
a complete ticket Of new men named
congressman, governor, and minor
state officers. 1t is probably the most
complete revolution that has been

Some of the recent machine news
papers would seemingly like to have
it appear that the success Of the
Republican state convention, in NOM
mating the entite ''insurgent' ticket,
was due to the work Of a certain few
individuals at the convention. Doubt
less this is done for the purpose Of
making the rank and file feel that they
had no part in the result and we take
issue with the newspapers which adj
vance this idea. The Republicans by
their votes at the primaries and at the
county conventions made plain what
they wanted the delegates, present at
the state convention, to do. The work
of the state delegates was cut out
for them except in two or three minor
instances and each delegate felt that
he had a duty to perform which did
away with the necessity of having a
"~guiding hand" to cline up" the dele
cations. The insurgent Republicans
every member OF each delegation
felt that they had a part in the bust
ness before the convention. There was

Republicans are persistent in asking
the question why it was that the
machine faction offered the names OF
their candidates for consideration be-
fore the Republican state convention
when they knew there was not a ghost
of a show to nominate them. This
may seem strange when we remember
that the machine said the fight had
been gwen up before the convention
was held and at the close OF the county
conventions, but those present at
Sioux Falls feel pretty certain that
they a see through the scheme Of
the machine. In the first place the
machine delegates were given the
seats Of honor in the convention.
They were placed we'll up in front and
punched whilet the s~o-called insurgents
were scattered around the outer edge
and to the extreme rear Of the audito-

Will Bear Watching

The evidences transporting at and
since the Sioux Falls convention leave
no room to doubt the intention Of the
stalwart faction, or corporate machine
faction, to dominate the next senate il
possible. Every other interest will be
subverted to securing the nomination
and election of men to the state senate
in sympathy with them, in order that
the laws desired shall be defeated in
that body. With the senate in control
of the old corporation managers it will
be impossible to pass any of the inn
portant measures for which the insur-
gents or progressive republicans have
contended. There may be no factions
since the convention, all being repub-
licans, but let it be remembered that
the price OF success is eternal vigilance
and that the contest has just begun.
The progressives won a signal and
overwhelming victory in the campaign
leading up to the state convention,
upon issues which are expected to be
made law next winter. The stalwart
minority are commended for ANNOUNCE
ing their allegiance to the ticket, but
in doing SO they must also support
the platform. There can be no har-
mony except upon this basis. Only
men OF absolute reliability who hon.
estly represent the ideas expressed in
the platform should be selected for
either house Of the legislature. Let
them be groomed early in the interest
OF a wide and full understanding

A strong sentiment prevailed at
Sioux Falls last week among the dele
gates attending the republican state
convention that an attempt would be
made to capture the legislature in the
interest of Senator Martin and to pre-
vent passage Of legislation which has
been demanded by the rank and file Of
the Republican party as expressed
during the recent pre-convention cam
paign. While on the surface the de-
feated faction may appear to be mac
tive and while they have agreed to
support the state ticket it would be
we'll to see that a strong legislative
ticket, composed of known friends and
supporters Of the Republican nominees
be selected in every county. This
method would avoid any possible chance
for a mistake being made which
might undo all the work already done
in the interest of honest government.

That Senator Kittredge is not in
harmony with President Roosevelt
and his friends on the canal question
is too apparent to permit denial. The
senator wants a sea level canal. The
president says it must be a lock canal.
An expert giving his reasons for
advocating lock canal says: "To
construct the canal on the sea level
would require twenty years work, and
even then the soil is such that the
banks would continually cave off and
wash in causing any amount Of
trouble to ships which might wish to
pass through the waterway" We are
still Of the opinion that the railroads
are interested in advocating the adop-
ton Of the sea level plan in order to
put the operating as far distant as
possible. Then if the canal proves a
failure they will certainly be gamers.

That the insurgents made a wise
choice in their selection of a nominee
for commissioner of school and public
lands is sustained by the following
kind words from the Clear Lake
deuel. Co.. Courier which supported
the machine faction Of the Republican
party during the recent campaign:
so. G. Dokken has been honored
many times by the voters Of this
county and in nc spot or place has he
eve betrayed the confidence of the
people. He is a man of level head,
cool and vigorous, a worker and
accomplishes things. His peculiar
life work has been a special training
for him for the Office to which he has
now been nominated. He has made
a success OF everything he has under
taken, and while the Office OF COM
missioner OF school and public lands
is an exalted one, and one too that
calls for qualifications OF the highest
order, we confidently believe that

1t is gratifying to see how one by
one the newspapers, which so jealous
ly stood pat with the old organization,
are coming out in support of the
nominees of the Sioux Falls conven-
ton. 1t tasted very bitter for some and
many had to swallow two or three
times, but now that the dose is down
and it makes them feel so much better,
really some of us, who stood the
brunt of the battle and were finally
victorious, scarcely know whether the
opponents to Gamble, Crawford and
Hall swere in earnest or were just
funning.

to make a special effort to push his

the position, nor one whose character
