That what this paper has said, relat-
ing to the attempt that is being made
by the kittredge crowd to get control
OF the coming legis lature, is true in
every particular is born out by a
correspondent from Mitchell where the
machine" element is strong. This
correspondent says; "a prominent
kittredge man dropped the remark a
few days ago that: we expect the
insurgents to control the lower house
at Pierre next winter, but We will have
enough men in the senate to prevent
the passage OF the primary and few
other populistic measures that the
Crawford men want" II this is not
enough to spur every citizen OF Brook
ings county to see that delegates
elected to represent the people at the
coming county convention are OF the
same mind they were in the recent
campaign then what is necessary to
awaken their interest in political
affairs?

Two weeks ago the Elkton Record
stated that Elkton would have one
candidate before the Republican con.
vention this fall, and that Fred w.
Cuckow, for states attorney would be
Elkton's candidate. The last issue
OF the Record contained an editorial
taking this all back and stating that
Elkton would have five candidates. A.
w. Dressed, who is holding the office
OF county treasurer and first termer,
is from Elkton, and it seems rather
strange that the Record should en-
deavor to disown him as an Elkton
man and claim that he is Bookings
candidate simply because his official
duties compel him to reside at the
county eat.-Volga Tribune.
