Sioux Falls, S. d., June 6.-The re-
suit OF the republican state convention
means an entirely new deal in the state
administration and state politics ana
Coe /. Crawford and his associates, AFT
err more than two years Of
and persistent efforts, will after jan
nary l next find themselves IN aOso-
Lutte control of South Dakota. Should
they also succeed in capturing the leg
islature they will enac the laws Tor
which they have stood throughout their
campaign. One of these is a state prl-
mary. and if they succeed in putting
this through, as it is generally expected
they will, the convention Just con-
Guided will be the last political con-
Vention to be held in South Dakota Tor
some years at least m perhaps M
definitely.
Praise for Crawford.
Even the political enemies of Coo L.
Crawford concede hi he will give the
state a good administration. AT this
time It may not be out of place TO state
that Governor Elrod, who was defeated
for a denomination by the surprising
strength of the insurgents, can be
proud of the personal record he mas
made during the period he has been
governor of this young and progressive
state. He has won a reputation Tor
honesty and up~rightness which no de-
feat can tarnish.
II is q notable fact that his admin
istration has been of so clean a charac-
ter that during the hot campaign De-
tween the insurgents n the COVER
nor's stalwart friends not one OF the
present state officials, elective or APP
pointive, has been charged with even
the slightest violation of the oath or
his office. The record made by them
has been an unusually clean one, or
which all of them have reason to be
proud.
The platform pays a glowing tribute
TO President Roosevelt and pledges re-
newed adherence to the republican
principles of protection, though de-
handing free lumber in the interest of
American home builders.
The convention was called to order
at 1908 by Chairman Crane, of the
state central committee. The invoca-
ton was by Rev. G.. @. Notson, of
Pierre. The official call for the con-
vention was then read by Secretary
Warner of the state central committee.
j. u. Elliott. Of Bon Homme county,
presented the name of Hon. E. G. Eric
son, of Elk Point. for temporary chair
man. The stalwarts presented the name
of C. II. Dillon, of Yankton, who, how
ever, withdrew his name.
e.. c.. Ericsson was declared elected to
the position OF temporary chairman,
and was warmly greeted when he as
sumed the chair. He was escorted to
the platform by J. ID. Elliott and w.
II. Roddle. In his address to the con-
vention ne made many telling hits,
his remarks. being frequently inter-
rupted by cheers. He paid a warm
tribute to the pioneer settlers of South
Dakota and spoke at some length of
the development or the state.
Jenkins. OF Brookings, moved that the
chair appoint a temporary secretary.
1T was seconded, and j. w. Cone, of
Minnehaha, was appointed to the posi-
tion. On motion Chairman Ericsson
