Corn Growers Convention.

At the solicitation OF numerous corn
growers In different parts OF the state,
| have concluded to call a meeting at
Mitchell, S. D., on September 2Sth, at
4 o'clock p. NJ, for the purpose of
organizing an annual corn show and
corn growers convention for the State
OF South Dakota. All growers of corn
are cordially invited to be present aud
assist in the organization of an associa.
tion, which, believe, will do more
good to the state than any other organ
ization that could be formed at this
time. The details of the organization
and the corn show will be worked out
by those present.
The Commercial Club OF Mitchell
has agreed to put no, in cups and cash, !,
$500 90 annually for three years, to be-
competed for at the show to be held by
the association. In addition TO this
we expect to be able to procure large
number OF premiums in the way OF corn
Dc
present a premium list, which list is
not excelled by any othe" state in the
Union,
There is no doubt but what South
Dakota Is father behind her possibilities
in the production of corn than along
any other line and we hope by the or
ganization of this association to create
more interest in this line OF South
Dakota farming.
The date selected for the meeting is
during the Corn Palace week, when
there will be very cheap excursion
rates from ali points and special trains
from a large portion OF territory trlbu.
tary to Mitchell.
We hope for large attendance at
this time.
respectfully.

James Gray, the ''funny man" of the
Minneapolis Journal, recently published
the following sketch of "the candidate, -
both the successful and the defeated
variety. 1t is SO appropriate TO the

REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN TEXTBOOK.

A departure has been made in the
Republican Campaign Text Book just
issued, in that its contents are wholly
devoted to live issues, and these are
treated in the briefest possible way,
yet comprehsnslvely enough to include
all necessary facts and figures.
First, there is a general statement OF
the issues of 1906, followed by a brief
review of Republican Legislation in
general and the work of the Fifty
ninth Congress in particular. The
Free Alcohol Law, Employers
Liability Law and the Meat Inspection
portion of the Agricultural Appropria-
tiOn Law are given in iull, as is Chair
man Tawney's clear explanation of the
appropriations.
The Labor question is next fully pre-
sented, followed by Representative
Watson's exposition of Antitrust pro-
ceedings. About one hundred pages
are given to the Tariff, Agriculture
and Manufactures, and the tables show
ing the various phases of industrial
activity. Among other subjects treat
ed under the tariff are:
Protection and Free Trade;
Customs Revenue;
Foreign Commerce.;
Home Market and Internal Trade;
Wages and Prices;
Export Discounts;
Reciprocity;
Free Hides;
Revision, etc., etc., etc.
Some half hundred tables give
official and authoritative figures down
to the latest possible date. The work
OF the President and administration is
then briefly presented, the condition
and status of the Philippines, the
Panama Canal, the Navy, Postal Ser
vice, Irrigation, etc, etc
The Presidents letter to Represen nta-
tive Watson concludes the work, which
has copious index of over a dozen
pages.
Scattered throughout the book are
quotations from President Roosevelt
and other Republican leaders. Among
these is The extract from Senator
Hanna's speech where he used the
''stand pat" expression, it being the
only instance in the Text Book where
the words stand pat" are used. A
page is given to Mr.. Bryan and his
views, with the comments of the New
York World a so-called prosperity
Postscript is added, giving treasury
conditions, trade reports, ETC., down tC
| August j.
For the first time In a political cam.
paign, the Text. Book will have gen.
eral circulation, as, together with other
literature, it will be sent on receipt OF
one dollar by John c. Eversman, Assist
ant Treasurer, 1913 Broadway, New
York.

THE Sioux Falls Forum takes this
view of the result in Minnehaha
county last week, at the same time ex-
pressing its opinion of the course of
the Press and of Eek SENATOR Pettigrew:
'"rhere can be little doubt, either.
that constant harping on Kittredge
and praise of Pettlgrew on the part of
the insurgent organ, contributed not
little to the result. This attitude, of
course, was altogether outside of the
views or wishes OF the insurgents. but
they had to pay for the company they
kept. The present attitude OF the
Press, seemingly an attempt to en-
courage bolt Of the insurgents and
consequent election of the democratic
ticket, is not meeting with favor. One
OF the leaders among the insurgents
said yesterday, rather bitterly:
"Pettigrew. What chance has he
got of ever landing anything? There
will be no bolt Of the insurgents, and
even if there we're, that would not
elect Pettigrew dog catcher"

The primary Ca .us has comparative
ly few friends Ia this county after the
trial of Tuesday. In voting simply
for delegates to the county convention,
Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1906-09-20

the voter has no actual choice in the
nominations for the county ticket
and especially is this true II there is q
large number of candidates In the field.
A few designing politicians may pack
the primaries and elect delegates oppos-
ed to the candidates who would other
wise he the choice of a majority of the
voters. Then by combinations in the
convention the individual delegates
may be unable to vote either their own
preferences or in accordance with the
will OF their constituency. 1t it not fair
to the voter, neither is it fair to the
candidate. The old caucus system
gave less opportunity for sculduggery
and bribery. If the primary system
of nominating is used at all it should be
the direct primary where the voter ex-
presses his preferences on every candi'
date and the primary caucus law should
be repealed-M tdiS0n DAILY S5RtIRel

yesterday that Kupa knocked out Jack
McFadden in ten rounds on Friday
night. He is said to have broken the

The fight was to have occurred last
night but is said to have been held

rounds in Honolulu about year ago,
McFadden having all the best of the
argument.

Because many of the records made
by the college boys in their track meet
