The Machine is Desperate

The leaders of the machine are
growing more desperate from day to
day as they watch the growing politi-
tical tornado that will sweep them
from power. They stand in the midst
of gang of men who support them
for pelf and favUrs, but are powerless
to Stay the grand army that is gather
ing from the towns and the farms to
take possession Of the state govern
ment now plundered for the benefit
or the corporal ions.
In evidence of the desperation of
the gang, it has just been learned
that the machine manipulatOrs
through their subServient tools made
an effort to connect the name Of Hon.
COe |. Crawford with some land fill
ingS, but the game was too rotten for
even ordinary machine men to coun-
tenance. But the damnable purpose
was none the less hatched and put in
motion by the gang who are watch
ing the uprising of the people with
alarm: Anything would answer, from
perjury down, to blacken the name
and fame Of the peoples champion,
Hon. COe |. Crawford.
Every act of Mr.. Crawford's public
and private life has been searched in
vain for something on which the des-
perate gang could put their muck
rakeS into, but in the face of all this
machine infamy, Mr.. Crawford stands
out before the people of the state
spotlesS, beyond the reach Of men
who drove Chief Justice Kellam from
the state, and betrayed Secretary of
State Berg, and sent Ex-Governor
Sheldon to an early grave.
The history Of the conspiracy to ruin
Chief Justice KelIam was related to
the writer by Ex-Governor Sheldon,
with tears in his eyes, as he told of
The Infamous combination. to destroy
4 Judge who was beyond the reach of
the bosses.
At the time Of the Kellam cOnspir-
acy. Sheldon was governor, but he
never dreamed at the time that men
could lie as they did to him in order
to ruin Kellam. Such is the history
of machine bosses in every state.
They hesitate at nothing to accom-
pliSh their ends.
The people Of South Dakota must
answer this infamy at the state con-
yention and by the election of men to
the legislature who will put the af-

Busting Kits Machines.

The Sioux Falls Journal, a radical
Rurnside organ. considers 1.-The big
gest land slide the city has seen IN
many years. an insurgent victory.
The battle was against the Kittredge
machine, and the machine was
smashed. Call the victory what you
NAV, it was. nevertheless, a victory
over the old machine and it means
that Hans Ustrud will have the dele
.pation in the state convention FOR
himself, Gamble and Crawford.
The Progressive or anti-machlne
republicans won victory at Madison,
at, Mitchell. at Canton, at Brookings,
aft Yankton, at Rapid City, at Lead
and at Deadwood. and the Deadwood
victory was a sumner. The battle
was Martin and anti-Martin and the
anti Martin men won after one OF the
hottest campaigns in the history OF
that city.

Scientific Corn Breeding.

The following communication has
been received from one of our sub
scibers, Mr. o. Paulson, of Turner
county, S. D.:
/ would like to ask if it would be
advisable to plant two rows of corn
side by side, the seed Of each being
teaken from the same ear, the object
being to detassel one of these rows
at the proper time. When should
corn be detasseled? / have heard
that silks also should be taken out at
the proper time. If this is SO, what
time should the work be done?
We can see no special advantage
in the practice of planting two rows
of corn side by side with seed taken
from the same ear. In fact, we think
that there is considerable disadvant-
age in this plan, unless the matter
is in the hands of a askilled corn breed
er. We say this because this plan
would mean inbreeding, and the
amateur has little excuse for meddl-
ing in this field, whether he be hand

fairs of the state on a business basis
and clean out every ringster and cor
poration tool who is now living OF
the people and working for the ma
chine.
To accomplish this act Of puritica-
tion the people must turn out and
elect Crawford delegates who will in
turn nominate reform ticket at the
state convention, after which Il legiS-
lature must be elected that will give
the people primary law, an anti-pass
law, law to regulate the assessment
Of all property, and provide for the
construction of the state capital
building out of South Dakota mater
ial, as good as any in the world.
The nomination Of Mr.. Crawford
for governor is the first step in the
program for clean honest government,
and the election of men to the legis-
lature must be in harmony with the
demands OF the people.
In view of the desperation of the
machine gang TO ruin Crawford, the
Leader warns the people to be on
their guard everywhere, because the
machine will hesitate at nothing to
win out at the caucuses. The people
hold the remedy for good government
in their own hands, because the ma
chine is powerless if the people are
alert and do their plain duty.
The sentiment among the people in
every county in the state is two to
one for an abrupt termination OF ma
chine power, and it remains to be
seen whether the farmers and busi-
peSs men are going to neglect the
most important duty they have ever
been called upon to perform since
statehood.
The attempted assault upon the
fair name and character of Mr.. Craw
ford should be ample warming that
the machine will hesitate at nothing
to keep the corporations in power in
this state.
Every republican voter in the state
who loves justice and a square deal
and desires that the taX-robbing SyS-
tenn shall cease, should attend the eau
cuses on May l5, and help elect men
to the county convention who will in
turn elect men to the state conven-
tiOn who are favorable to Mr.. Craw-
ford for governor Do this and the
voter will have performed one of the
most, meritOriOuS actSi0f his citizen
ship.

ling plants or animals. We would
much prefer to use seed from entirely
different ears to plant in adjacent
rows.
AS to the time of detasseling 1t may
be said that the work must be done
just as the tassel begins to show. In
the right kind of weather it some
times happens that pollen is shed al
most on the same day that the tassels
come out, hence the necessity Of do
ing the work promptly upon it's first
appearance. 1t is always necessary to
go through the crop several times. be-
cause all the tassels in a given row do
not came out on the same day. TaS-s
sells should never be cut off, but pull
ed out with quick jerk. We cannot
imagine a case where any good can
come from the practice OF removing

Machine Going to Pieces.

Wagner Leader: At the city cleo
tion held in Sioux Falls last Tuesday
the candidate for mayor on the indie
pendent ticket was quietly elected
by an overwhelming majority over
the machine candidate, supported by
the Kitredge crowd and the state
machine. That organization is going
to pieces and it will be completely an
initiated in the convention on June
5, at Sioux Falls. The people are
aware that their interests and that of
the railroads are not Identical. They
are going to support candidates who
represent their interests.

TRUE BLUE REPUBLICANS.
Are the Men Who Stand by the
President and Labor For the
Welfare of the People.

Egan Express: The arguments put
forth by one of our neighboring con-
temporaries are SO inane, senseless,
and void of any bearing upon the real
issues of the campaign, that our vo-
cabulary falls to command words that
fully express our estimation of their
worth. He exploits the idea, and
tries to impress upon the minds of
the voters of Moody county, that
only those who are in line with the
machine organization are true blue
rep,a hlieans. He boasts of the records
of the men of which the machine is
composed, asserting that their records
are open to. the Severesu test. What
about the books which were burned,
to cover up the disposition made of
the last campaign fund? He insinu-
ates that the followers of Coe /. Craw-
ford are nothing but d band of dis
sappointed and disgruntled Office seek
,ers, democrats and populists, and
that the anti-machine organization is
opposed to the Republican party. Such
absurdity; viewed by anyone with in
telligence, statements Of this kind
would be considered narrow. We
would ask, is Hon. Geo. Rice a dis
gruntled or disappointed Office seek
er? Are Robert j. Gamble, Senator
Cassill, Philo-Hall, Hans Ustrud, dis
appointed office seekers? Are they
men who have ever advocated prin-
ciples other than those imbedded in
the republican platform? Are they
of whom the voter i'm the counties in
which they live are ashamed? No,
they are men loved, honored and
respected by the citizens in the COM
munity in which they live. Altho
vilified and reviled, and ruthleSSly as
persed by unnumbered papers
throughout our state, these assaults
heaped upon them, only serve to
strengthen their hold upon the public
heart. After calumny's ammunition
has all been exploded. the powder has
all been burned, and its force spent,
the names of these men will glitter
and shine with that brightness which
is imperishable. The wave of en-
iightment which is spreading over
our fair state, will sweep from power
those who are the dominating infu-
ence in enacting laws which benefit
the trusts and corporations and such
men as Crawford, Gamble, Hall, Rice
and others of the same company will
be standing on the highest eminence
of human distinction among the re-
publicans of our state. Why do not
the machine papers touch upon the
main issues? Do we hear them say
anything about the denying of 5000
voters the right of petition and the
utter disregard for the laws of the
state or the constitution? No. Do we
hear them say anything about rate
legislation, the all important question
before the people of the United States
at the present time2 No. Do we
hear them say anything about prim-
ary election law? No Then we say
to the voters, don't be deceived by
the delusive methods used by the ma
chine organization to get your sup
port, but vote for the Roosevelt Re-
publicans, the men who believe in
good government, and square deal
for all -
