friendly With him il he was working
against his interests? Yet this is
just the attitude of Senator Kit
tredge and congressman Martin and
Burke in the instance Of which the
Register refers to. So far as the
affairs Of state are concerned the
Register cannot point with definite
ness to anything in the past six
years that would lead any sane man
to believe that corruption or any
thing Of a dishonorable nature has
tranSpired to bring the state organi-
zation into disrepute. IL the insur-
gent press has nothing better to offer
than what the Register has to say
it ought to revise its campaign
methods and start out on a different
line. The record OF the organization
will not suffer in the least in being
compared along with that of the lead
ers Of the insurgents.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1906-03-09

The insurgents are and have been
doing quite a good deal of political
work among the outlying counties to
secure them against the organization,
and with d or two OF these as an
nucleus they have been spreading the
information of what they have ac-
complished, leaving the inference
that the counties are falling over one
another to line up for the Crawford
element. Later disclosures indicate
that there is plenty of for a re-
vision of the figures of the insurgents
as to what they possess. Gregory
county. one OF those OUTLYING counties
which the insurgents had taken unto
themselves, is repudiating the claim
that it has gone back on the organi-
cation. OF the nine or ten republican
newspapers in Gregory county only
Lwo are supporting Crawford, and
the proportion of stalwarts is proper
t%ion:tely as great. Gregory county
belongs to the Black Hills section,
being on the west side of the river,
and that with the other counties
ACROSS the river will not retire from
the front Of the battle in the support
of Congressman Martin for the
senate.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1906-03-09

Quite in harmony with the tactics
OF the Insurgents is the move that is
reported to be in progress ia the
Black Hills country in trying TO get
some one over there to come out as
a candidate for congress, just for
the purpose OF trying to divide the
solid sentiment Of the Black Hills
for Congressman Martin. 1t is a
proposition that has very little. if
any, support In the western part OF
the state. When Congressman Mar
tin came out as a candidate for SEN
ator it was with the assurance OF the
support OF the Hills country, and
we believe that his backing is
sufficiently strong as to carry with it
every county west Of the river. In
the defeat Of Mr.. Martin for the
sennatorship the Hills country would
be without representation in con-
gress and it was never so INTENDED
that such an important part of South
Dakota should be left out OF the
cnoice OF a congressman or senator.
The insurgents. We believe, will tind
very little support in trying to break
into the ranks of the sttlwart re-
publicans on the other side.

MR.. HALL AND HIS MILEAGE

Watertown Participation: The
people of the state in 1904 voted down
a proposition to increase the salary of
the attorney general, and 1T was
stated that Mr.. Hall for a time con-
templated a refusal to accept the
Office. He finally concluded, how
ever, after much elaboration, to ac-
ccpt the trust imposed upon him by
the people of the state for the second
time, but, as it was announced at
the time by his friends, at a trrmen-
deus personal sacrifice. The state
ment has recently teen made, and
not contradicted, so far as we have
been able to ascertain, that during
the three years which Mr.. Hall has
filled the office of attorney general he
has drawn from tie state treasury in
the way of mileage the sum of eight
Hundred and %fo1ty-one dollars and
tifty-hve cents. Public Opinios con-
fesses to some degree OF ignoulnce
concerning what this "nileaue'
charge is for-rhat is. what it COW
ers. lnasmuch as all state officials
are presumed to use railroad passes
within the state, it not OUTSIDE, an
explanation Of what this change for
mileage includes might satisfy pub
lie curiosity. 1t is understood that

have agreed to support Mr.. Hall for
congress. and that il the insurgents

The Sioux Falls Press admits, in
response to a query Ivy the Aberdeen
News, that it will support the can
didates of the %insurgent republicans
if they win out in the state conven-
tion in June, claiming that the insur-
gents stand for the anne principles
that the Press believes in. That is
refreshing and candid on the part of
the Press. Its admission more than
ever confirms the belief that eX-Sena-
tor Pettigrew is very strong on the
promotion OF the insurgent cause.
The Press is the mouthpiece OF Mr..
Pettigrew and assumes to speak for
him on all occasions. So when the
Press says it will support the candi-
dates of the insurgents it also means
that Mr.. Pettigrew has already made
up his mind to the same thing.
Many of the leaders among the in
surgentS will remember the be trayal
of Mr.. Pettlgrew at the st. Louis
convention and how severely they
condemned him at the time, vet to-
day they find the ex-senator seeming
ly very agreeable company to aid
them in trying to break the SPLEEN
did republican majority in this state.
If they are successful the time will
come again when they will feel the
oppressive heel of Mr.. Pettiglew on
their necks and they will further
lind that they are a mighty small
portion of the new machine that is
being created. Before the state con-
vention is held, however, we believe
that the greater proportion of the
Insurgents will find their bearings
and decline to again be dominated by
the ex-senator.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
FOR RAILROAD LEGISLATION

The insurgent press has been max
ing the most OF the situation with
reference to their Interpretation of
Senator Kittredge's attitude on the
question Of the regulation of railroad
rates, and has accused him of being
against the president and against
the interests of South Dakota in not
fayoring the passage OF the bill. as
the senator stated some few weeks
ago that up Ito the present time he
had no opportunity to Investigate the
various bills that have been promul-
gated and therefore had expressed no
opinion on what might be presented
to the senate. a correspondent of
the Sioux Fallo ArgUs-Leader in
Washington interviewed Senator Kit.
trdege on Wednesday as to his atti-
tude OF the railroad rate bill and he
declared that he would vote for the
measure. The senator outlined his
views with reference to the bill,
and mentioned two amendments
which he will offer. The following
is the statement of Senator Kit
tredge and it will doubtless have the
effect OF silencing his carping crit
les:
II shall vote for the HOUSE rate
bill. Today | shall introduce in the
senate amendments to the bill ex-
tending its provisions to apply to pri-
vate a lines and sleeping car COM
panies. An examination OF the house
bill reported to the senate Monday
has convinced me that such cOmpan-
les are not affected by the proposed
measure and that it should include
such companies, and in my opinion,
admits OF no argument. My amend
ments, II adopted, will accomplish
this and they will be urged to the
limit of my ability. 1t is notorious
that rebate and Determinations of
the most f1agranb sort by means OF
private q lines have thrived under
the existing law and they should
be placed under the control OF the
interstate commerce commission pre-
cIsely as are railway companies and
other carriers. Other amendments

careful consideration and it they
strengthen the bill, will receive my
vote, otherwise they will not. These
conclusions have been reached after

dents message, the evidence present.

.CRESWELL ANXIOUS

Could Leave Police Board
RESIGNATION STILL IN

The withdrawal of Harry I, Creswell
from the Police Commission would not
be wholly surprise to the public IL 1t
should occur in the near future. 1t
will be remembered that Creswell
placed his resignation in the hands OF
the Mayor at the time of the strike of
the carmen. While 1t was not accept
ed, the resignation is still in the pos
session of the administration.
Creswell has intimated that he is still
anxious to leave the board. He said
last night: The sooner the adminis-
tration accepts my resignation the bet
ter it will please me-.
In case the Heney investigation bears
down on the police to the discomfort of
Ruef it would be possible to accept
CreswelIs resignation and thus leave
the way open to Ruef to name man
who could be depended on to take or
ders and aid in covering evidence of a
damaging nature. At the same time
Creswell would still be free to appear
before the Grand Jury and give it what
testimony he may have in relation to
the granting of liquor Licenses since the
fire.

EMPORIUM WALLS
To COME DOWN

At yesterdays meeting of the Board
of Works City Engineer woodward re-
ported that the walls of the old En-
porium building on Market street are in
a dangerous condition and liable to fall
at any time Woodward recommended
that the front wall be taken down to
the third story but the< board post
poned action until next Wednesday to
give the Parrott estate an opportunity
to comply with notice to tear down
the wall. In the event that the order
is not complied with in that time the
board will tear the wall down on It's
own account.
Woodward also recommended that
more municipal bonds be sold in order
to build q main sewer along Islais
Creek, between Mission street and the
county line, at a cost of 100000. Vari-
GUS Improvement clubs petitioned for
the Improvement, but the board decided
to await the outcome of the invitation
for bids for 100000 of street and
sewer bonds before making any recon-
mendation to the Supervisors in this
case.
The board decided to make personal
investigation of the complaint of the
Abner Doble Company against the
maintenance of gasoline engine in
front of the old shot tower at Howard
and First streets.
The board took under advisement the
passing of the demand of the Otis Ele-
vator Company in the sum OF $500
