BURKE THE RACE AGAIN
South Dakota Congressman
AnnouIfces His Candidacy.

Congressman Burke has issued
the following:
Responding to my friends through
out the state, who have expressed
the hope that again become a can
didate for congress, will say that |
have decided to do so, subject to the
primary election to be held in June
of next year, standing as republi
can and relying for success upon
the record made in the eight years
that | had the honor of serving in
the lower house Of congress. In
due time / will issue a statement or
declaration setting forth specifically
my attitude upon different public
questions, but at present will define
my stand upon the presidential and
senatorial situations.
For president, stand today, as
expressed in published interview
several months ago, for the renomi.
nation of President Roosevelt, il he
will accept, and if not, then for the
nomination of Secretary Taft.
In my opinion, the delegates
from this state to the national con-
vention should be chosen from
among republicans known to be in
favor of President Roosevelt and his
policies, and known to be at heart
in favor of his denomination, and
they should be required to pledge
themselves in advance of their cleo
ton to stand for his denomination.
In view, however, of the doubt that
exists that he will not accept
denomination, | believe our dele
gates should also be required, before
they are elected, to declare them
selves for a second choice, that the
people may know where they will
stand in the event that President
Roosevelt eliminates himself by
refusing to allow the use of his
name in the national convention.
For United States senator, / favor
and will advocate the reelection Of
Hon. A. B. Kittredge, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
Because he has brought credit
and honor to the state, in having
made a record that places him
among the leaders of the senate;
Because he is republican, loyal
to his party, always faithful to his
official duties and true to the best
interests of his state and the nation.
Because, with his great prestige,
if continued in the senate, he can
accomplish much more for the state
than could an inexperienced man,
and finally because of his superior
ability for the position, his high
character, and his clean record, both
as public official and a private
citizen.
Respectfully,
Chas. III. Burke.

CHAPTER II.
Old ellis Girl.

Guided by the unerring instinct OF
an Old Indian fighter. ellis, during
that first mad retreat, had discovered
temporary shelter behind one of the
largest powders. 1t was a trifle In
advance of those later rolled into posi-
ton by the soldiers, but was of a size
and shape which should have afforded
ample protection for two, and doubt
less would have done so had IT not
been for the firing from the cliff op-
posite. Even then it was a detected
bullet, giancing from off the polished
surface of the rock, which found lodg
ment in the sturdy old fighters brain.
The girl had caught him as he fell, had
wasted all her treasured store of wa
ter in vain effort to cleanse the blood
from his features, and now sat there,
pillowing his head upon her knee. al
though the old man was stone dead
with the first touch OF the ball. That
had occurred fully an hour before, but
she continued in the same posture, a
grave, pathetic figure, her face sobered
and careworn beyond her years, her
grasping unconsciously the old mans
useless rife. She would scarcely have
been esteemed attractive even under
much happier circumstances and as,
sisted by dress, yet there was some
thing in the Independent poise Of her
head, the steady fixedness of her pos
ture, which served to interest Hamp
ton as he now watched her curiously.
Fighting blood" he muttered ad
miringly to himself. Might fail tc
develop into very much of a society
bell, but likely to prove valuable out
here"
She was rather a slender slip Of a
thing, a trifie too tall for her years
perhaps, yet with no lack of develop
ment apparent in the slim, rounded
figure. Her coarse homemade dress
of dark calico fitted her sadly, while
her rumpled hair, from which the
broad-brimmed hat had fallen, pos
sessed a reddish copper tinge where
It was touched by the sun. Mr.. Hamp

wailing cry of agony from out the
thick darkness told the fate of their
first messenger, while Casey, of the
"XL." crept slowly, painfully back,
with an Indian bullet embedded deep
in his shoulder. Just before the com

ing word, calmly turned up the collar
of his tightly buttoned coat, so as
better to conceal the white collar he
wore, gripped his revolver between his
teeth, and crept like some wriggling
snake among the black rocks and
through the dense underbrush in
search after water. BY some miracle
of divine mercy he was permitted to
pass unscathed, and came crawling
back, a dozen hastily filed canteens
dangling across his shoulders. 1t was
like nectar to those parched, feverish
threats; but of food barely a mouth
full a piece remained in the haver-
sacks.
The second day dragged onward, its
hours bringing no change for the bet

From dawn to dark there came no

ANARCHY.

What constitutes a state of
anarchy? If definitions are not
misleading we are permitting the
reptile of red flag birth to bask
in the sunshine of this country,
later to fasten its venomous
fangs upon the life and liberty
of our people. Our social, in
dustrial and political life is al
ready menaced.
Last Monday in Chicago, par
AIDED 3700 men, women and
children. The object of the par
ade was to create sympathy for
the notorious trio, Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone, alleged ac-
cessories in the murder of Gov
ernor Steunenberg, of Idaho. The
demonstration is one Of rank
anarchy and what the authorities
are thinking of that such things
are permitted is beyond our ken.
1t cannot be expected that such
a parade, by such a people,
bowling, Kissing ard jeering,
and carrying, banners of anar-
chistic motto, will prove an ex-
ample worthy of emulation by
the youth Of the land.
Surely there is such a thing
as too much liberty when a vic
ious mob can carry red flags
through the streets of Chicago.
ITO hi with the constitution"
was a sign which was carried
and displayed to the gaze of the
public. Many such notices were
in evidence in the parade. All
right-minded men and women
will lose their sympathy for la
Dor when it approves of such a
demonstration as that in Chicago
few days ago.
