To Deceive the People.

Dell Rapids Tribune: The stall
warts in South Dakota pretend to be
supporting Taft for the republican
nomination for president because she
is President Roosevelt's CHOICE yet
they continue their bushwhacking
tactics against the South Dakota
Roosevelt league, the main purpose of
which is to uphold Roosevelt's poll
cies. The name of Taft is a good one
for the stalwarts to conjure with, but
there is good ground for suspicion
that if they should succeed in control
ling the delegation from this state to
the national convention its vote
would go to Knox, Cannon or some
other anti Roosevelt man for the pre-
sidential nomination. The stalwarts
never have been sincere supporters of
Roosevelt or of his policies, and their
whole record is against their throw
ing their support to a candidate COM
mitted to the continuance of the
Roosevelt policies. They are pur-
suing their usual tactics by trying to
deceive the people by pretended sup
port of Taft, but it is doubtful if
they can again deceive the people of
South Dakota as they have so many
times in the past.

The Fish Jury.

Ole FL, Lier of Grant township, a
close neighbor to Lewis Larson, was
drawn as petit juror at the term of
court finished last week. Mr.. Lier
called at the LEADER office and be-
came new subscriber before going
home, and remarked that he was not
fond of fish scraps originating on the
Sioux. II was on the fish jury, as it
was called, and we fished for law with
hook and line and seine," said Mr..
Leir. "We discussed fishing from
the time Noah turned the whales
out of the ark down to the time
States Attorney Carlson and Henry
Hanson caught wagon load of carp
out in Grant township. 1t was a
learned jury. Every man had fshed
more or less during his idle hours as
boy and man but none of them, SO far
as known, had ever tried a seine on
the 500. The learned and honorable
lawyers, A. B. Carlson for the state
and Judge Kennedy for the fisher
men, gave us more fish law and river
metes and bounds than we supposed
could be found between Kampeska
and the Big Sioux bridge. The jury
was out long time and the discus

Died In The Trenches.

Mitchell Gazette: It was notice
able here last week that good sized
bunch of Republican politicians were
present at the Corn Palace. 1t is
quite clear to The Gazette that poll
ticians go to public entertainments
just like other people, and possibly
with the same motive-just to have
a good time taking in the sights.
1t is noticeable, however, that there
is some sort of magnetism which
draws them together in squads,
punches or factions apparently. For
instance, you don't see Gamble and
Kittredge pairing off, or Crawford
and Burke, or Thorson and Burns,
and so on down the line, but you will
see them getting together and discus
sing the available men for each side
to win with.
The stalwarts of this state figured
on getting Judge Campbell of Aber-
deem, to stand for governor but he had
not forgotten the drubbing he receiv-
ed a year ago and he fought shy Of
being anybody's candidate as he rath-
er broke down the last time trying to
be conservative. He fell between the
lines of battle and no one stopped to
draw his body Off the field. There
are several other Republican politi-
clans who stand about like Judge
Campbell-died in the trenches rath-
er than get up and take stand for
freedom or slavery.
The insurgents seem anxious to
have J. D. Elliott make the race for
governor but he has hardly got rested
from the last heat he trotted with
the stalwarts, and he don't feel like
running again unless it is unanimous
that he go alone. But the insurgents
feel they are not without timber for
governor, when they have such men
as Ringsrud of Union, Shober of Hyde
Vessey of Jerauld, Byrnes. of Faux,
McNullty of Roberts, CLANCY of Clay,
and Ustrud of Minnehaha.
During Thursday and Friday Of
last week it was noticed that an in
surgent conference was held at the
Widmann at which the following
gentlemen were present: Governor
Crawford, Senator Gamble, U. S. At
torney Wagner. A. o. Ringsrud, Thos
Thorson, w. S. Glass, Lieut.. Gov.
Shober, Senator Vessey, Senator
Byrnes, d. D. Wipf, W. G. Cook, Bob
Houston, G. Fl. Cassill, C. III. Dillon,
Col. Arthur Linn, G. N. McIlvaine,
H. q. Hopkins, w. B. Dwight, j. E.
Wells, H. Swindler, w. w. Davis,
At the same time the stalwarts had
state conference here which was at
tended by Senator A. B. Kittredge,
Judge John It. Kean, Col Dick Woods
Editor G. w. Downey, G. w. Adams,
T. G. Burns, Thos. Lane and Col. j.
NJ Greene. Another meeting will be
held this week in Sioux Falls to furth-
er consider available candidates under
the primary law.

sion of the case was free, eloquent,
and lengthy, during which interstate
commerce in fish was elaborated upon
and scaled down to the fins and gills.
1t was case full of fish, stumpS,
men and law and we reported our
finding to the Court, who treated us
very kindly when we came into the
hall of Justice. The court thanked
us for our labors and we were dis
charged"
Then the genial juryman smiled
like Grant township fisherman,
handed over his good money for the
LEADER and departed, remarking as
he went that nothing short OF a
whale could induce him to go fishing
i'm the Sioux.
Mr. Lier is Grant township pio-
neer and owns $40 acre farm out in
that country made famous by its
miniature canals.

Corporation Desperation.

The Sioux Falls Press in replying
to most bitter assault On the Presi-
dent by the New York Sun, the recog-
nized Wall street organ of corporate
greed says:
There seems to be no limit to the
lengths to which the advocates of un-
restrained corporate cupidity will go
In their efforts to down the president
and put an end to the reign of Roose-
veltism. Through long years of un-
disturbed depreciation they have prac-
tically held the reins of government,
have dictated the enactment Of law
and influenced ad administrations, until
they had come to consider themselves
the supreme power Of the land. The
first rude bar to their pleasant theo-
ries came with the administration of
Roosevelt, and the increased force and
frequency of the jars as the president
warmed to his work has made them
desperate.
1t is the same in all sections of the
country. AS far as presidential poll
tics go there are only two elements to
be considered, and these are the pro-
Roosevelt and the anti Roosevelt e1e-
ments The line of cleavage follows
no hitherto accepted party lines, but
is clear and sharp along the line
which divides the hordes of corporate
greed from the plain People-the peo-
pie who earn what they get honestly
and keep their hands out of other
peoples pockets,
1t is not to be wondered at that
corporation sympathiZers are fighting
Roosevelt, nor should any means
which they may employ to gain their
ends cause surprise. Any class of in
dividuals banded together for the
sole purpose of plunder is of necessity
without honor, and in fighting for
life, as the great illegal combines are
now doing, honorable methods are
not to be expected. ~ -
In this great battle between the
people and their plunderers the one
issue is "Rooseveltism." The contin-
uance of this can in no way be SO de-
fnitely assured as by the reelection
of Theodore Roosevelt to the presi
Dental chair in 1908. The corpora
tions know this, and are straining
every nerve to prevent it.
The people know it too; and they
are going to see that it is accomplish

The Next President.

Washington Post: The history of
American politics presents no parallel
to the situation that has developed
concerning the next presidency. One
man stands head and shoulder above
all others, and almost without regard
to party he is the choice of the peo-
pie for president. Theodore Roose-
vet enjoys greater popularity than
has ever been the fortune of any
American during his lifetime, with
the possible exception of George
Washington. The restless, eager, OPP
timistic nature of the man; his ag-
gressiveness in the cause of honesty
in public life; his enormous energy
and vitality, enabling him to face
difficulties with eagerness and dis
pose of them with effectiveness; his
courage in going ahead and doing
things, regardless of precedent or red
tape these qualities make him in
many respects the ideal American,
and arouse the most enthusiastic ad-
miration. He is man with iron in
his blood. He gets results. The peo-
pie see the fruits of his integrity and
energy, and they want him to remain
in the presidency.
There are other able and admirable
men who are worthy of the republi-
can nomination. All have their
friends, but all are supported with a
reservation. eff Roosevelt is not go
ing to be renominated, then l am
for Taft or Hughes, or Cannon, or
Fairbanks, or Cortelyou, or Foraker,
as the case may be. If Roosevelt
should announce his willingness to
serve, or if the movement to nomi-
nate him becomes irresistible, the
strength of other candidates will
melt and disappear. They have no
real strength so long as there is doubt
regarding Roosevelt.
The only declaration made by Mr..
Roosevelt concerning the next presi-
dency was made three years ago, on
the night he was elected president.
He has been elected but once. Many
of his admirers think he has no right
to assume that he is serving his
second term. The great majority pay
no attention whatever to the third
term tradition. They want Roose-
velt, and will get him If they can.
He is the only man who can prevent
his denomination. The declaration
made three years ago is dim in the
minds of many people. Others ig-
more it, holding that time and events
have made it null and void.
In view of the overwhelming popu.
larity of Mr.. Roosevelt and the well
nigh universal clamor for his re-elec-
1 tion, the Post believes that he will be
renominated Imagine the situation
that would arise If the next conven-
tion should respond to the popular
will and renominate Roosevelt and
adjourn. There would be no alter.
native for him. He would be com.
PEELED to run for the presidency
And if he should run it is the opinion
of the Post that he would be re-elec
ed by an unprecedented vote.
