Murphy Had 10 DO Ii.

AS viewed by all sorts OF practical
politicians in Washington the Hon. c.
Francis Murphy had either to join the
Hearst movement in New York or sur
render his leadership Of Tammany. For
this reason the politicians in Washing
ton are not inclined to attribute either
to Hearst or Murphy the questionable
motives which the opposition in New
York Is ascribing to them. 1t is held
that an analysis of the vote east last
year in the mayor2lty contest shows that
Murphy was unable to control the rank
and fle of Tammany against Hearst
and that had he Joined Mayor Mcclellan
in the mayors Hght against the editor
he would have completely lost his infiu-
ence in Tammany. This would mean that
the leadership would be taken away
from him and given over 20 hostile hands
from whom he could never hope to re-
ceive consideration. Thus, whether Mr
Hearst wins or loses the goveTnorship.
Murphy viii be i'm an incomparabIy bet
ter position than he would have been
had he fought Hearst at the certain
peril Of losing his grip on Tammany
Should Dir. Hearst win, Murphy may be
put out Of business but if Hearst loses.
Murphy's hold on Tammany will be
strengthened. The two men very cor
daily despise each other, bat iD adver-
sity they make very good working
team.

PEOPLE OF NOTE.
Judge Iurton, of Tennessee.


There is pleasing gossip that Judge
Horace r. Lurton, Of Tennessee, now on
the Federal bench in the Sixth circuit.
will probably be appointed to the vacant
place left in the United States Supreme
Court by the retirement Of Justice Henry
B. Brown. Judge LuTton is recognized
by his profession and the public far and
wide as one Of the ablest jurists IL the
public service. He succeeded in the Sixth
circuit another distinguished Tonnes
seean, Howell 2. Jackson. who was APP
pointed to the Supreme bench by Presi-
dent Harrison. Justice Jackson was a
Confederate soldier and a Democrat. So
is Justice White. appointed from Louisi-
ana by President Cleveland. 50 is Judge
Lurton who may be appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Yet there is no doubt
that this appointment. as did the others,
will meet national appreciation. The eX-
allied qualifications of the men gained
them this just recognition.
1t has been suggested that an objection
to Judge Lurton IS his age which is
sixty-two. Four of the JUSTICES Of the
Supreme Court are above that age, two
Of them being over seventy. Judge Lur-
ton Is more vigorous than most men
years younger, and in the ordinary course
of such "a physical condition as his. il is
believed by his friends that he Is strong
for a long lease OF continued usefulness
on the bench. One of the great lawyers

Pettus, Of Alabama. was practicing law

Moses X, Armstrong, one of the
pioneer settlers OF Dakota terrific
ry, died at the home of his nephew
in Albert Lea, Mimi, last Thurs
day. He was prominent politi-
clan, and IN the early territorial
days held several important official
positions. He was the author of a
reminiscent history of the Dakotas
in which the strenuous character
of early day politics is graphically
described, one of the interesting
chapters being his experience cam
paisning with Gen. Cam pbell of
Scotland.

pecially if they could name the
candidates. AS a matter Of fact
we may state on the best of author
ity that neither J. NJ. Dunmire nor
Maj. Dollard will be a candidate
for the state senate at the next
convention. Mr.. Dunmire has
given excellent satisfaction as coun-
ty commissioner, and the people Of
this end Of the county will probably
urge him for reelection, though so
far as we know he has never ex.
pressed any desire for q renomina-
ton nor given any assurance that
he would accept it. AS for Maj.
Dollard there may be some posi-
bility that he will be a candidate
for the lower house of the legisIa-
ture, but if so his candidacy will
probably be announced from Scot
land.

The directors of the Inter State
Live Stock fair at Sioux City have
decided to hold their next fair dur
ing the week beginning Sept. 10th,
the same dates rs the South Dnkn-
ia state fair. A similar conhic, in
dates occurred )ast year, causing
some rivalry which in some quar-
ters engendered feelings Of bitter
ness. This year the rivalry will
undoubtedly be more spirited than
before, and may result in a partial
boycott of Sioux City wholesale
houses by South Dakota retail
dealers. It must be admitted that
the officers of the South Dakota
fair have manifested dictatorial
spirit, calculated rather to arouse
the antagonism of the Sioux City
people than cultivate a spirit of
harmony. In retaliation the Off
GERS of the Sioux City fair have
tried to belittle the South Dakota
fair and treat it with contempt,
which will be likely to touch the
pride of the South Dakota exhibit

The Blessings Of the Primary Law

The Blessings Of the Primary Law.
In order that our readers may
more fully understand the provis-
ions of the new caucus law we pub
lish the following summary of the
statute prepared by Maj. Dollard:
The agitation for the enactment
of a primary law by the last ]pgis-
lature gave US a political dose that
will hardly add to the popularity of
the pripary idea. In the place Of
the old time plan of holding eau
cuses and conventions, about which
we seldom heard complaint in this
part of the state, the legislature
gave US the following:
The chairman of the precinct
committee must post copy of the
call for each convention in at least
five of the most public places in bis
precinct ten days before the pri-
mary election, which takes the place
Of the caucus to elect delegates to
the county convention; a primary
election must be held in each pre-
cinct and be kept open from three
until half past eight O'Clock in the
afternoon the chairman of the
precinct for each of the parties re-
ceives a ball OF box therefor from
the county auditor into which the
ballots cast by the members of bis
party must be deposited, and an
other box into which waste ballots,
the ballots furnished him but which
were not voted, must be placed.
Booths for voting according to
the Australian plan must be fur
nished for each precinct, ,one to each
party, and each must have the
name of the party for which It is
intended, in plain letters thereon
The precinct chairman Of party
receives the ballot boxes, booths
andasbaliots for his party and has
charge thereof Each party has
it's own desk and booth separate
from any other party and the chair
man of each political party sup
plies the ballots to the members of
his party and they must be voted,
if voted at all, in the party booth.
The tickets furnished by the
county auditor must be equal in
number to fifty per cent more than
the total vote of the party for gov
ernor at the last election, and
which ballots must be uniform in
size and weight and be made of
flat writing paper and shall have
no printing, writing or other iden-
tifying marks on them. The color
of the ballots of all parties having
a state organization is to be fixed
by the secretary of state. All these
ballots are to be blank, but if any
person desires to present to the
electors of any precinct list OF
names to be voted on at primary
be may procure from the county
auditor sample ballots of the same
size, weight and color as the ballot
furnished the chairman of the par
ty he intends to vote with and ht
may prepare ballots similar to thu
sample furnished him and may
write or print the names of an,
qualified electors of the precinc
that he may. desire on such blanl
ballots and deliver the same to, the
