The people will probably send a legis-
ture favorable to his election, if the
politicians will let them alone. But
they do not want to be crowded, mani
pulated or managed into that or any
other political action. They want, if
the Tribune can understand their tenn
per in the least, to be left to choose
their own public servants.
If we know anything about the Re-
publicans of Minnesota, they are as
sick and tired OF manufactured enthu-
siasm and manipulated public meet
ings, cut and dried programs and star
chamber states, as they are of packed
caucuses and manipulated conventions
They are tired of having candidates
foisted upon them by cabals of self
seeking politicians. They are tired of
having platforms carted here from
Washington that do not represent the
sentiment of the people of Minnesota.
They are tired of voting for men
they do not want to put in Office and
for declarations of principles they do
not want to see realized in legislation.
They have grown so sore and sensitive
on these points that they are capable
or shying away from men and princi-
Piles otherwise acceptable to them on
the bare suspicion that somebody is
trying to dictate to or manipulate
them. In a word, the people do not
like those they have honored by max
ing them their servants to play the
master.

Neither do we uphold any close
party organization which resembles
bossism, either in state or county, or
among insurgents or stalwarts. Ii the
so-called machine" has made one
mistake more than another, it has
been in not broadening its ranks and
its ideas to suit the rapidly increasing
vote and gradually changing senti-
ments upon new proposition Lake
Preston Times.
This is a splendid endorsement ofthe
''i~nsurgent' movement in this state
coming as it does from one who is
thoroughly imbued with the idea that
to be against Republican "organiza-
ton" is to be ''ferninst the govern
ment." Bro. Bates slaps the machine
in the same n as would a sweet
tempered mother when chastising an
incorrigable child. "Now Albert you
know l love yoh but you have been
naughty and | must spank you, but
it won't hurt very much" Why don't
Bro. Bates say what he really means?
You know there is ''close corporation"
bossism. You know the boss brought
pressure on the Legislature to kill the
primary bill. You know he tempered
with the educational institutions to
assist him in defeating the wishes OF
his constituents. Then say so.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1906-02-22

The REGISTER wishes the Argus
Leader to understand that the question
is not whether or no the present caucus
law is constitutional. 1t is the ques-
ton of what right the legislature had
to kill the primary petition? We hold
that every legislator who voted against
submitting the primary bill to the
people, when it was presented as it was,
violated their oath Office and were sub
ject to impeachment. There was no
alternative but to submit the primary
bill, and the Legislature left alone would
have done so, there is no doubt. 1t
was the work Of corruptionists-the in
fuence of the boss who, through his
lieutenants, WIS bound to kill the bill
right or wrong. No honest man will
attempt such methods, and that is the
reason the masses today are opposed
to the machine"

Just now the machine" is making
more noise than q small boy with a
tin horn because Congressman Burke
and Martin voted in favor of the rate
regulation bill. 1t would have made
no difference which way they voted, the
bill was bound TO pass the house any
way and do you suppose those opposed
to the bill condemn those men because
they voted aye on the measure? 1t is
a test vote, a vote when one or two
men hold the balance of power, that
counts in any instance. OF course
they didn't vote against the bill but
they deserve no special praise for vot-
ing for it nor will it changeth opinion
Of voters regarding their attitude to-
ward the peoples interests in this
state. They have long since been re-
corded as against the measure and it
will take something more than 1--WE

Senator kittredge declares he has
been so busy that he has nottaken time
to look into the merits and dement's of
the rate regulation bill, and is there
fore unable to say what he will do
when he is called upon to vote. Here
is a representative of South Dakota
who finds time to look after his own
fences, dictate kilograms which are in
tended to boost him, engage attorneys
to write opinions in opposition to those
given by the attorney general in his
legal capacity for the state, look after
the legal interests Of the Milwaukee
railway, but who has no time to famil-
iarize himself with a measure which is
of the greatest importance now con-
fronting congress. Really the senator
ought to take a protracted vacation.

able to comply with the broad qualifi-
cations specified in the constitution.
Granting that the attorney generals
contention may be sustained by the
supreme court it does not follow that a
primary election law may not insist
that voters shall contine their primary
activity to the party with which they
shall at the time desire to affiliate.
The point is that the legislature can
not say a man who voted the democra-
tic ticket last election may not act
with the republican party in the pri-
maries this year. That would bar a
man who had changed his utilization
from acting with any party this year.
But the law can require that a mar
who desires to act with a certain party
this year shall declare or make oath
that his fealty is now given to party.
Under this Interpretation it will be
seen that on the day Of the primary a
voter cannot be denied access to the
party ticket which he may at the time
desire to vote. Accordingt to the South
Dakota opinion any law attempting to
deny a voter his right must be uncon-
stitutional.
The Crossley bill as originally drawn
contained the same fault now pointed
out in the South Dakota law. 1t tried
to restrict a voter at the primary to a
declaration of party allegiance made
at the previous general election. The
committee has wisely amended the
Crossley bill to eliminate this fault.
AS it now stands a voter may make a
new declaration of party fealty any
time prior to a month before the pri-
mary and in case Of change Of mind
before the primary date can swear in
his vote at the polls. The change
eliminate the constitutional cloud,
but, as Senator Crossley intimates, it
weakens the primary proposition by
leaving the door open for participation
by unscrupulous voters in the nomi-
nation of candidates by whichever
party they may at the last moment
select. Sioux City Journal.

a warm fight is on between the ma
chine and anti-machine Republican
forces in Moody county, j. G.. Halver,
a merchant of Flandreau, is announced
as a machine candidate for the nomin-
alton for state auditor, and State Sena-
tor Geo. Rice, also of Flandreau, is an
nounced as an anti-machine candidate
for the nomination for railroad COM
missioner. Thus the issue is clearly
drawn in Moody county between the
machine and anti-machine forces, each
side being led by a strong popular
candidate, which makes the fight an
ever one. AS the people of Moody
county might cheerfully support either
of the two candidates under ordinary
conditions, the fight is really for and
against the machine, and it will be in
teresting to see how the people OF our
neighbor county VIII line up on this
issue and the principles involved.
Whenever given q fair opportunity in
the past Moody county has stood for
the best in politics, and hence there is
reason to believe that it will be found
in the anti-machine column by a large
majority .-Dells Rapids Tribune.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1906-02-22

The Tribune reiterates the belief
that the only objection to this resolu-
ton was objection to the introduction
OF any personal note into a meeting
held solely to unite the party for the
work OF good government. The act
was probably done in the belief that it
would advance that very end. That
was an error of judgment, but it will
probably protect Republicans from
making similar errors in the future
