In casting about for an excuse for
the sacrifice of Senator Gamble, the
machine suddenly discovered that the
Black Hills section OF the state is en-
titled to Il United States Senator. To
show what a tlimsy pretext 1t Is, it
might be well to remember that the
Black Hills contains but One-tenth of
the valuation, but one-eleventh Of the
vote, less than one-ninth of the vote OF
the state convention. The taxes paid
by the Hills district is Il small part of
the states revenue, and the %apprOprla-
tons for that section by the last legis-
lature amounted TO about $40, 600. 90
more thar the taxes that will be paid:
taking it on a basis similar to last
year. This One-tenth of the state now
has Il congressman, railroad commits
SiOner and a supreme Judge. How
can it reasonably ask for more?-De
Smet Independent.
Wherein Congressman Martin made
his mistake was in allowing. himself
to be used as a catspaw by the person
who is solely interested in defeating
Senator Gamble. Mr.. Gamble should,
in all fairness, receive the unanimous
support of the Republican party for
reelection and would have been en-
dorsed by the machine if A. B. Kilt
redge had not feared that with Gamble
in the senate Mr.. Kittredge would have
a laborious task to, himself, secure
the endorsement Of the Republicans OF
of South Dakota. He had a pretty
close call the last time he was before
the state convention even though
he apparently had no opposition. In
order to perpetuate himself in Office he
deemed it necessary to kill off Mr..
Gamble, and thus open up a plausible
way to have his personal ambitions
materialize.

There seems to be some who CUES
ton the a~dvisability Of introducing
railway rate legislation because they
fear the west will suffer. This idea
seems to have been born and nurtured
through and by the articles sen out
from the Chicago railway bureau Of
anti-rate regulation. AS we under
stand rate regulation it means that
the private shipper shall be able 70 Sc
cure the same rate that a corporation
or trust secures; that the interstate
commerce commission shall have
power to prosecute railroads for giving
rebates to preferred shippers, that states
shall not be Disseminated against.
For instance shippers have stated to
US that it costs as much to ship cattle
from Pierre to the state line as it costs
to ship the same cattle from the state
line to Chicago. If this be true then
there is unjust discrimination against
this state. 1t is certain that railroads
have in the past exacted higher
freight rates for goods shipped into
this state than they did from a dis
lance up to the South Dakota state
line. We remember a fight n. c.
Nash, the late lamented editor of the
Canton News, once made against the
Milwaukee R'y on that very score; we
also remember how Mr.. Nash vas
compelled to pay his way on the rail-
way because he conducted that fight.
Again let US say we do not blame the
railways for getting all they can for
hauling freight, but We do blame the
people for allowing the railroads to
rob them of the profits on their farm
produce and stocks of merchandise.
1t looks to us as though it was time
South Dakota Joined Iowa and Wis
Aconsin in their fight against the ex-
Norbitant demands of the railroads.
Let a trial at least he made to correct
this injustice by electing men who de-
clare themselves in favor Of the people.

The Brookings Register is quite
sure that Philo Hall is right in his
opinion about the honest caucus law.
He may be-: but will the Register
kindly tell us how long it will be be-
fore the republican voters of South
Dakota can be induced to pass a di-
rect Statewide primary law, open to
the suffrages of anybody?-Argus-
Leader.
"Open to the suffrages of anybody"
The Argus-Leader knows it is unfair
in its representations of the case. 1t
knows it is disappearing for the
purpose of creating a misgiving in the
minds of the voters who do not take
occasion to think for themselves. No
one wants a law open to everybody: if
there was such u law it would afford
the editor of the Argus-Leader to too
many privileges. Neither do We want
a law that would make our brother
editor an eternal political outcast be-
cause he at one time supported the
democratic ticket.

Governor Cummirs' Views

In a recent address before a farmers
institute in Iowa, Governor Cummins,
who is campaigning against the corpo-
rations and in favor of the passage OF
a primary election and an anti-pass
law made a strong plea for the people.
We take the liberty of publishing the
following extracts from his address
which appeared in the Sioux City
Journal, February 8:
II say the corporations shall keep
out of politics. I want the railway
men to come to the caucuses and pri-
maries as men, but not as employees
come crowned with the kingship of
American honor and manhood.
81 want the railroads of Iowa to stop
corrupting the morals of our people by
issuing free transportation. 1t will
not be long before it will be criminal
in this state for a railroad to issue free
transportation or for a man to accept

Public Opinion is in favor OF cstab-
fishing Il qualification for voting at
primary elections. 1t does not think,
however, that the existing caucus law
provides the proper restrictions. This
feature of the law establishes as a
standard that party ticket which an
elector voted at the last general cleo
ton. If, for instance, he voted the
democratic ticket, or for a majority Of
the democratic nominees, he is barred
from participating in the nomination
of a republican ticket until after he
shall have voted at least once the
republican ticket. In effect, the eau
Gus law bars from participating in the
primaries the man who may have
changed his political views since the
last general election, whether he
changes from democracy to republic
anism, or vice versa. Public Opinion,
however. believes hat it is proper to
establish a reasonable qualification.
1t believes that no republican. for in
stance, has a moral right, and should
be denied the legal right, to assist in
framing a democratic ticket: and dem
ocrats should not be permitted to have
a voice in making a republican ticket.
u NloC, Nv Vi .
publican who may care little or moth
ing concerning his personal honor
would seek to make the opposition
ticket as weak as possible. The man
who seeks to assist In nominating a
republican ticket, or a democratic
ticket, should be required, if chal-
lenged, to affirm that he sustains the
general principles of the party whose
ticket he offers to vote at the primary
election or that he intends to support,
in the main, the nominees OF that
party. Right is right. To say that
there should be nc qualification es-
tablished-no party distinction made
for voting at a primary election
would be equivalent to saying that
primary elections shall be but a farce,
SO far as drawing the lines between
parties are Observation-Disclosures
Public Opinion.
The REGISTER agrees with the P.-O.
in this matter. Make the law as
strong as it can be made in order to
prevent fraud, but do not attempt to
bar a voter Of his rights. Any man
has q right to change his opinion and
when he has taken an oath, ii chal-
lenged, to support the principles and
the nominees OF the party, with which
he expresses a desire to vote, It would
be gag rule to deny him the privilege
of voting, 10 matter what his past
affiliations might have been.

standing the fact that at the time Of
Offering his vote each n may in good
faith be a supporter of the principles
OF the party at whose caucus he offers
his vote, and possesses all the quali-
tications of an elector under the con-
stitution. Such ~perversion of our
electoral system would be in%tolerable.
To require a voter offering to particle
pate in a caucus to declare with what
party he is then affiliated or even to
require OF him a promise to support
the nominees OF that party would per-
haps be to require OF him nothing
nor than he implicitly represents and
promises by participating in a caucus
OF any particular party, but if any adj
ditional qualifications could lawfully
be added by the legislature this would
he far different from imposing as a
condition to his participation in the
caucus the manner in which he may
have voted in the past as required by
this act.

Will the Argus-Leader please apprise
an anxious public wherein the voters
who comprised the Peoples party are
any worse than they were when the
Argus-Leader was supporting that
party? Did the Argus-Leader soak in
all the good there was in the Peoples
party and then walk out of camp? One
would think by reading Days editor
ials that the Argus-Leader ought to
forever be DISTINGUISHED and that its
editor should be branded a political
outcast for having on several occa.
sions, when the republicans really need.
ed help, cried out against ''ring rule''
and bossism.

If a mar shall affirm that he up
holds the republican principles, and

at the next election, he is a republican

he voted the republican ticket at the
last general election or whether he
did not.-Watertown Public Opinion.
If Bro. Cory will read the following
extract from the Attorney Generals
opinion he will find that Mr.. Hall and
Mr.. Cory agree very nicely in their
conclusions, so that if the supreme
court ''turns down" Mr.. Hall it will
also have to ''turn down" Mr.. Cory.
Just read what the Attorney General
thinks and see if he does not plainly
set forth this conclusions:
Section "A presupposes as its basis
that a person who supported the plat
form of a particular party when he last
voted has M right to participate in the
deliberations of any other party today.
The principle vice of this section is
that it does not refer to the affiliations
and beliefs of the voter at the time he
offers his vote but refers to his past
affiliations and belief whenever he vot-
ed last, whether it be two or four or ten
years ago, and imposes the penalty of
disfranchisement upon him-hrst if he
has since changed his political views;
or, second, if the party with which he
last voted has changed its platform so
that it does not represent his views; or
third, if the party has ceased to exist;
or, fourth, new principles of which he
is an advocate are represented by a diff
ferent party than the one he voted with
last; or fifth, il for personal reasons he
Scratched" his ticket at the last
election at which he voted or failed to
vote for a majority OF the ticket at all.

were enforced, hundreds and perhaps
thousands OF persons in the state would
be disfranchised at caucuses notwith-

Will the Argus-Leader please correct
its statement relating to Attorney
General Halls opinion on the primary
petition. You said he did not render
an opinion relating to its legality.
Please say that he did pass upon its
legality or the Secretary of State
would not have presented the petition
to the Legislature. You might ease
your conscience also by telling your,
readers that the machine Immediately
cancelled Mr.. Hall from their calling
list because he had the honesty and
fairness not to render an opinion that
would have killed the petition. The
machine didn't want the bill to shONI
up in the Legislature because they
knew it would put the machine in a
position that would defeat them.
