Huron, S. D., Aug 14.-A stock COM
pany headed by Alva Taylor, the law
partner Of Coe I. Crawford, the repub-
ican candidate for governor of So1th
Dakota, and composed of other close
friends Of the next executive, has been
organized and practically completed the
purchase of the Huron World-Herald,
a weekly newspaper which has for some
time been the personal organ of G. A.
Kelley, states attorney Of Beadle
county.
The newspaper situation in this coun-
ty, the home Of Crawford, has not been
to his liking for some time. The Huron
ite, the only daily in the city, is owned
and edited by John Longstaff, a federal
office holder by the grace of Senator
Kittredge, and one of the most rabid
machine'' supporters in the state.
Longstaff hates the insurgents and their
movement as he does death, and of late
Kelley has been at outs with the radi-
cal Crawford following in this city and
county.
Under the new management the
of the Crawford administration and viii
| take up any gauntlet which Mr.. Long
staff may see fit to throw down. A
| daily issue will not be printed for the
present and may not be for some time
| to come, unless the exigencies Of the
| factiona1 fight in the state seem to de-
mand it. .-.
Machine men have spread the theory
that Crawford was candidate for the
United States senate so industriously
that it has made some impression ant
won the belief in some quarters thai
The would use his late great victory FOL
stepping stone to commanding po
sition at Washington. This theory is a.
radical variance with the facts. Mr.
Crawford s first ambition is to be gov
ernor, not only for first term, but E
second one as well. He prefers to be
governor for the next four years thar
to hold, any other position in the gift

Mr.. Gamble will be elected to succeed
himself and there will be ample tin'
to take up the Kittredge succession {
