Mr.. Branson has always stood for
straight republicanism and it is a
rank injustice to place him where he
does not belong. Republic
can.
Does the Republican desire to 60 on
record al saying that because q Re-
publican refuses to wear the brass
collar of one man bossism OF denounces
the methods of the machine politicians
who have warped legislation and de-
graded public institutions he or they
are to be read out Of the party? If that
is the intention of the "machine'' then
pity the party. This blindness has on
two occasions caused the Republican
party to create the distrust OF the peo-
pie OF this commonwealth. So far as
the REGISTER is concerned it is pleased
to know that atthis time the disapproval
of corrupt methods comes direct from
within the party lines at a time when
there can be a housekeeping and not
place the party in d%isrepute. The Re-
publican party is all right, but as Re-
publicans and because they to
have the power it is no sign a small
handful of the self-imposed leaders
held in the grasp of one self-constituted
boss should be allowed to drag the
thousands ofloyalR Republicans through
the mire OF dirty political practices.
We insist that Senator Branson or any
other Republican cal be a Republican
still, though he may not be able to
endorse the machine methods" en-
ployed by those whom the Mitchell ex-
change would call the "all holy" If
Mr.. Branson should be found in the
"insurgent camp he will be in COM
pany with the best friends the Repub-
lican party eve had-men who have
always been loyal-men who are to-
day more loyal thar the self-styled
bosses-loyal because they realize that
unless something is done to check
corrupt methods the party will GER
tainly sooner or later meet with disas-
ter. Nh. Branson need not be asham-
ed OF his company, even 1.-The is classed
as an ''insurgent."

friendly assistance to that colleague to
aid in his election to his high office,
then to find that he had been systematic
cally deceived and deluded, to find that
the party organization had become
veritibly a machine" absolutely in
the control OF that colleague, and its
power set in motion to retire him un-
tremendously from the public service
not especially because Of any act he
had done or had not done, but because
he was a menace to the fullest success
and perpetuation of that machine.
Under these circumstances what would
the Argus-Leader do? Where would
it look for vindication and support?
Would it close the door in the face q
any N who came to it to volunteer
encouragement and support?
The "machine' certainly did not
expect Senator Gamble to sit in a
corner and suck his thumb. He isn't
that kind of a man. While in favor
OF rational organization, he is not nor
never has been a machine man. He
has ever stood out plainly before the
people, and more than any other repre-
sentative the state has ever had at
Washington, represents the confidence
and choice OF the people of the state.
If the present cold-blooded manipu-
lation and attempt to strangle him
and perpetrate the machine grip on
the state, forces him and his friends
to be branded as insurgents, then let
it be with a big 81"

The position of the frank and file
is ably presented in these columns by
Hon Carl G. Sherwood, one OF the pio'
neer citizens of Clark county and fol
whose opinions we have always enter
tanned the most profound respect. Mr.
Sherwood is an able lawyer and stands
at the head Of his profession. In years
gone by he has taken a very active
part in the politics of his county and
the state. He wa Clark county's first
state senator and one of the trainers o.
the constitution of South Dakota. A
personal acquaintance of twenty-one
years standing has only served tc
heighten the respect we hold for the
gentleman, for honor and fair dealing
in politics have been q predominant
feature in his career often to the sacri.
flee of personal ambition. His article
in this issue of the REGISTER has the
right ring and we should have been
much disappointed had he taken any
other position than what his article
would seems to i~ndicate-a plea for
fair play.

Is Arousing Enthusiasm

The compliments and expressions
OF satisfaction over the candidacy OF
Philo Hall for Congress are certainly
gratifying to his friends, and go tc
show that a man may be bigger than
petty jealousy, and capable of holding
respect and arousing enthusiasm, even
though he does not try to agree in
every particular with all who try tc
hold the reins of authority. Mr.. Hall
is a man whose record is too mastery
to be clouded or dissolved in the pres.
ent petty selfish chickering's over the
distribution OF state patronage, which
is the active agent in much Of the
present political ebullition in South
Dakota. Mr.. Hall is a nan whom the
people admire, and they will stand by
him and see him elected if they can
have a voice in the matter, and it is
our opinion that they will have it

the South Dakota delegation in con
gress. This is not surprising, even fl
it is not true, as many people charge
and believe, that Senator Kittredge
furnished much of the wherewith for
the recent Improvements and addition
to the Argus-Leader's plant, and the
buying of Tomlinson's interest. 1t
would be strange, indeed, if it did not
give its support to the Sioux Falls
senator under all the circumstances.
But whether it is wise in going to such
extremes as it does to belittle and
misrepresent and discredit Senator
Gamble, is a question which anyone
is privileged to debate.
1t devoted considerable editorial
space to enlarge upon the fact that
Coe L. Crawford and Hon. Philo Hall
met and conferred with Senator Gam
BILE at Yankton. 1t seeks to show that
Senator Gamble is not a good republic
can because of some of the people who
called on him. 1t reminds it's readers
that Senator Gamble claimed he
should stand independent, and upon
his record Of service, and not as a
Crawford sympathizer," and con-
tends that now Senator Gamble is not
showing good faith, that he has or is
standing with the insurgent element
of the party. Hence we are moved to
ask the Argus-Leader what it would do
were it placed in Senator CANDLES
shoes. Being the senior senator, and
having served but one term in the
senate, and justly entitled to a second
term by every consistent rule of politi-
cal practice, unless that service has
been unsatisfactory to the people,
having a colleague appointed whose To-
cation and aspirations seemed inimical
to his future, but for the best interests
of the party and the united service for
their constituents accepting the pro-
testations of friendship, rendering

Chairman Crane is reported as say

a bank, an ambition and a smile"
But he did not say which offense was
the one which relegated him to the
rear. 1t surely could not have been
his smile as that is the politicians
principle stock in trade; neither could
it have been his ambition as we all of
us have ambitions; the bank could not
have been the stumbling block as
Branson's barrel would have come in
mighty handy; could the offense then
have been Mr.. Branson's Norwegian
p%arentage? We have always consider

Of Minnehaha county will be a candi-
date, before the coming Republican
state convention, for the position of

uInfuencen Short Lived

That the boosted Influence" of the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader will be very
short lived is plain to any fair minded
reader. The A.-G. seems to think,
because a large portion of the Repub-
lican party is not satisfied with one
man bossism, that they are against
the party and that paper is now so
biased in its opinions that before the
campaign is over it will disgust its
readers. It's quotations Of absolute
falsehoods from articles written by
publishers who have no respect for the
truth can only serve to create distrust
in what it has to say on any subject.

Beautiful in Theory

There have been various editorial
squibs in the papers over the state,
outlining the duties and noting the
shortcomings of the Board of Regents
in the recent mixup. How about
something on the duty of the people
in submitting to the action of the
board who is delegated to investigate
conditions and knows better than any
one else the existing conditions
Beresford Republic.
The above is beautiful in theory and
does honor to the tender heart of the
editor Of the Republic. But we have
the opinion that if Brother Sturgis
had a printer in his office who had
managed to pi as much matter and
blacksmith Is much type for sixteen
years as the present system of regency
has done for the educational institu-
tions in this state, he would begin to
think about hiring another sort OF a
man. This "duty-of-the-people-in-
submitting" business and Servants
obey-your-master" theory is all right
in Sunday school talk, but it some
times fails to work out in actual
practice. Arlington Sun.

retaliation is openly threatened not
only by pressing railroad rate legisla-
ton but by elimination from the next
postofice appropriation bill of the
millions OF dollars paid to railroads in
the form of subsidies in addition to

The above is a clipping from a Wash

the holding up of passes, usually issu.

lation question has been settled. Is
there any need of further evidence

not necessary that aregent shall, when
he is appointed to the position, be a
resident of the city in which the insti-

permanent citizen of that place and to
remain so during his term OF Office.

contest, not a division. and the on
test is for the party nominations Tor

Dakota has a surplus Of splendid TIM
Der for official purposes. Naturally,
where such a condition exists, all
members of the party will not find
themselves in agreement upon all the
candidates for honors at their hands.

disintegration, as the opposition news
papers so fondly hope. On the con-
trary, it is the best possible indication
of a healthy condition of affairs in the

are numerous loyal Republicans
in this state who are weary OF the
one man bossism which has taken
hold of the affairs of the party and has
not only manipulated legislation, but
has dragged the educational institu-
tons into the filth of low grade politi-
cal %chicanery. There is an element
among the Republican voters who be-
lieve in fairness and the same ele-
ment does not propose to allow the
aspirations of one man to have a para
mount position over the will of the
people nor to have the public institu-
tons kept in a continued uproar be-
cause of low political practices.
