The reports coming from the state
fair at Huron are to the effect that
immense crowds OF people were
present on every day that the fair
was a gigantic success and the
grounds we're practically filed with
people from the central and northern
part Of tile state; that Huron people
had all they could do to take care Of
the crowds which thronged the city
ever day. 1t such is the case, and
there is no reason to Doubt it, it will
save a good deal OF trouble next year
between Sioux City and Huron's fair
dates. and the papers will not be
called upon TO raise their protest
against Sioux City holding its fair
on the same dates, as it is evident
there are enough people in tho terri
tory of each fair to 20 around and

All last winter Judge A. E. Cham
berlain, the superintendent of farm
ers' Institutes, preached the absolute
necessity of planting seed corn that
was known to be pure and have the
terminating qualities. Past expert
|ence had taught him what South Da-
kota farmers had lost by planting
poor seed and he thought to W.
them some money this year by ad-
|vocating pure seed for planting.
There were some who listened to his
advice and secured pure seed, and
Mr.. Chamberlain has kept tab on
those portions of the state where
pure seed was not used. He now
makes the statement that as a re-
suit of noh-germinating seed being
used that the farmers of the state
have lost $1,312,500 simply by not
paying attention to the selection of
seed for planting. This indicates
that Mr.. Chamberlain knew what he
was talking about when he urged the
farmers to be more careful of their
seed. At all of the institutes held
during the winter the superintendent
and his assistants laid particular
stress on the pure seed proposition
and many needed it, but hundreds Of
others failed to go to the meetings
and did not learn of the benefits that
would accrue by the use of pure seed.
1t is going to take years to get this
idea popularized among the farmers,
but it will eventually find its way
to every farm.

A week or so ago, The Republican
made a short comment on what the
Pierre Dakotan said with reference
to the statement made by a railroad
official in the Rapid City Journal
who said that there were to be six
leading towns in the state. In re-
ferring to the original article the
Pierre Dakotan mentioned but five:
Aberdeen, Brooklngs, Rapid City,
Sioux Falls and Pierre. Whe1eat
the Dakotan gave Watertown and
Huron a sly dig on their being
left out. We have received the
original clipping from the Rapid
City Journal which includes the six
towns. and behold Mitchell was the
second on the list OF the six towns.
Just why the Pierre Dakotan omitted
the name Of MITCHELL FROM the list
we are at a loss 10 know. Perhaps
Brer. Billinghurst will explain.

William j. Bryan is something Of
a postponer himself, when he comes
to applying the term to Secretary
Taft. In 1896 Mr.. Bryan postponed
becoming president of the United
States, and likewise In 1900, and he
may postpone it again in 1908. Mr..
Bryan has also postponed the silver
issue and he has also postponed the
subject Of government ownership of
railroads. the latter being dropped
like a hot potato after he had once
enunciated his ideas and finding that
they were not appreciated to any
great extent. Mr.. Bryan ought to
let his mind travel back a bit before
finding fault with what he believes
to exist in the makeup Of other peo-
pie.

The Sioux Falls Press insists that
there is a mistaken idea abroad that
Chairman Cook of the state repub-
lican committee bought a half inter-
est in the paper with the idea of
supporting the insurgent wing of the
party. 1t states that Mr.. Cook has
for several years wanted to get hold
of a newspaper property in the state
and that he selected the Press as
one which met with his ideas. All
of which may be true, but the fact
that the Press is hereafter aswwell
as heretofore, is to be the recognized
organ of the insurgent party, it looks
as If it was more of a political deal
than one of business. With this
change of management in the Press
there will be less scoffing on the
part of the Press toward the Argus
Leader in the matter of political sup
port, for the Press has claimed,
since Bowen was interested in it,
that it was a purely Independent pa
per. Now it is merely a political
organ with an axe to grind.

In commenting on the mention 0

In commenting on the mention of
j. L. Browne, of Aberdeen, as the
stalwart's candidate for governor,
the Sioux Falls Press at once jumps
to the conclusion that the stalwarts
have already fixed up a slate, and
that Mr.. Browne heads the list for
state officials. The Press says: "The
time has gone by when a cotorie of
politicians can command the voting
force Of the state to place its seal
of approval upon a star chamber Sc
lection for an Office" This brings
to mind the little secret session which
our insurgent friends held I'VE at
Huron during the state fair, after
the convention was held in the even
ing, which session, it is reported.
LASTED long into the morning hours.
1t is presumed that the Press would
throw up its hands in amazement at
the suggestion of a possible fixing up
of a slate or arranging for the party
campaign when those leaders were
assembled together during the long
hours of the night. But If some such
program was not carried out, what
were the leaders hanging together
for at that late hour of the night?
1t was not for the enjoyment of the
personal society of each other. that's
sure. Hence, it must have been for
the same purpose which the Press
accuse the stalwarts of doing. The
Press should be willing to admit that
all the purity and wholesomeness is
not confined to the insurgent wing of
the party-which it may find out to
its sorrow some day.

cording to a statement that has just

The Watertown Public Opinion Of
fers a pretty good suggestion to the
insurgent wing of the republican
party with reference to its support of
a presidential candidate. The Public
Opinion says that the insurgents are
using the Roosevelt third term idea
in such a n as to indicate that
they are playing it for the control
of the political situation in the state
and that behind it all they are play
ing for the candidacy of Senator La
Toilette. Public Opinion thinks
that the insurgents have no right to
the efforts they are now making to
secure a state delegation instructed
for Roosevelt and then have it used
for any and all kinds of purposes
after they get the convention. This
is where the insurgents are doubt
lessly going to f1imflam the voters
of the state-in trying to secure the
delegation instructed for Roosevelt
when they know absolutely that he
will not accept a third term-he has
said so repeatedly and emphatically
yes the insurgents will not AXE no
for an answer and simply to get the
delegation for trading stock they
are going to try and carry the farce
to an inglorious end. 1t will not be
instructed delegations which will
nominate President ROOSEVELT he
is nominated. With four or five
candidates in the field for the nomin-
alton there will doubtless be a long
drawn out fight for the successful
candidate, and it appears that if the
president is to receive the nominal
ton it will come after the ballots
have been cast a number of times
without a nomination and undoubt-
eddy at the psychological moment
some delegate will jump into the
heat of the nomination period and
spring the name of the president.
Amidst the enthusiasm the whole
convention will turn to the peerless
leader, and he may be drawn into
accepting the nomination under
some such circumstances. We do not
believe that the president can be
quietly drawn into the campaign nor
be induced in anyway after making
the positive declaration that he has
in the past. His closest friends do
not offer the slightest intimation that
he can be moved from his position,
and when such seems to be the case,
the sincerity of the insurgent leaders
can better be determined If they will
} cast their support for a man who is
known to be in sympathy with the
policies of the president-for it is
really the policies Of President
Roosevelt that count more than the
individual. But that the delegation
will be used against the presidents
wishes there is not now the least
reason for doubling.

Secretary Taft sailed Thursday on
his trip to the Philippines and he
will be away for several months on
his long jaunt abroad. Before leav-
ing the secretary made a grand trip
across the country, speaking at many
places and leaving the impress of his
personality on the people, who will
not soon forget the principles for
which he stands in his candidacy for
the nomination for president.

of view. That has been the opinion
OF The Republican all the time. The
towns were so far apart that people

state would natur go to ally Sioux

would naturally go to Huron No
body is nurt and there is no reason
why next year the same thing cannot

President Cook, of the Spearfish
normal school, is setting a new pace
for the moral condition Of the young
men who may desire to attend that
institution for the coming year.
President Cook has recently issued
a ruling which will shut out any
who is a user of tobacco in any form,
and he informs the parents of pros
pective students that they will not
be received at that school. He de-
clares that his business and that of
the faculty is to enrich the mind,
and that they cannot do it in the
case of a young man who uses to-
bacco. He wants the parents to CO.
operate with him in this rule and
try to stamp out the evil among the
young men. He says emphatically
that no user of tobacco shall enter
the school even if the attendance is
|cut down to ten scholars. Down at
Ames, Iowa, the president of the
agricultural college has issued a rul-
ing similar, but not quite so drastic.
President Storms has put the ban on
smoking on the campus, but he is
met with the statement from the
students that they shouldn't be dis
Terminated against in this direction
when the members of the faculty
have the privilege Of smoking there.
Now the president is trying to re-
form his faculty.

The statement made by the Fair
fax Republican a short time ago .rela-
tive to Herman Ellerman supporting
Senator Kittredge was questioned
by some people as unauthoritative.
Last year, Mr.. Ellerman, who is the
internal evenu collector, was as
ISOLATED with the insurgents, and
naturally they felt some interest in
the departure of Mr.. Ellerman. The
Fairfax paper has the following to
say concerning the truth Of its state
ment:
I'm our editorial columns a few
weeks ago we stated that Hon. Her.
man Ellerman of Yankton, father of
Representative j. N. Ellerman of
this city, and several other prominent
insurgent leaders had announced
that they would support A. B. Kilt
|redge, in the next campaign, in his
race with Coe 1. Crawford for a
seat in the United States senate.
Since the publication Of this an
announcement in the Republican, many
have asked us where we got u in.
formation; and many Of them seem
ed to think it unreliable and that we
used it merely for thunder. We wish
to inform our readers that we got
our information straight, and that il
lis now known throughout the state
that Revenue Collector Ellerman is
on the Kit band-wagon and that il
the coming campaign he will sup
port him for a seat in the U. S
senate. Mr.. Ellerman seems to have
lost faith in the fake reform NOV
which he so %ardently supported las
fall, and in order to again get RICH
with the people he decided to maxi
his flop early in the game and lie
the world know that he no longe
is associated with the %insurgent wins
of the republican party in this state.

the popularity Of Mr.. Browne. They
finally commenced talking OF Isaac
Lincoln as their possible candidate
to succeed Governor Crawford. The
two gentlemen are both very popular
in Brown county and they would
make a very warm canvass for the
delegation from that county. But it
isn't time to tear your shirts as yet,
for neither man has been selected.

THEY DECLARE FOR ROOSEVELT

state met at Huron Wednesday and
there had it out concerning the en-
d0rsement of a Roosevelt delegation
from South Dakota to the national
convention to be held next year The
addresses of the evening were made
By Governor Crawford, Congressman
Hall and Parker, Candidate Glass
md Senator Gamble, the tenor Of
whose talk was adherence to the
Roosevelt administration and denun-
citation Of the corporation machine"
whom these gentlemen assert are
trying to sidetrack the Roosevelt is
eae. That is what they are trying to
make the people believe. According
10 the statement of these speakers
they seemed to have been in closer
touch with President Roosevelt than
anybody else, for they assumed to
speak on their own authority that
the president had never declined to
accept the nomination, and Glass
went SO far as to state that he had
received private information that the
president had indicated his willing
ness to accept the nomination IL it
was rendered him. All the country
knows that the president can have
the nomination and the election If
he would just say the word-we
would all be for him-but it is idle
to say that the president is in a
receptive mood for the nomination
when at the same time he is doing
everything possible to secure the
nomination of Secretary Taft-and
the insurgent republicans in. this
state are doing everything in their
power to prevent the wishes of the
president being carried out, when he
would be grati1ed to know that every
state that is friendly to him would
send a delegation to the national
convention favorable to the nomina-
ton Of Secretary Taft. The depth Of
the friendship of the Roosevelt league
Is shown by the fact that after an
endorsement for the president they
will not have anything to do with the
presidents candidate. An effort was
made by Attorney General Clark to
have the delegation cast its vote for
q candidate who nearest represented
the principles of the president, but
the resolution was tabled.
The chairman of the meeting was
instructed to appoint a campaign
committee of one from each judicial
district. the appointment of which.
however, was held up until the lead.
ers were closer together. After the
meeting was adjourned to the public
the leaders went into an executive
session which continued long into the
hours of the night. 1t is the gen
eraI belief that a slate was fixed I'll
for the campaignaof next year, which
in time will be handed forth for tn,
faithful to follow up and endorse a
the primaries. The s%upposition i
that at the primaries the voters ar
to have an opportunity to expires
their individual and personal choic
for a candidate, but this early it ap
pears that the leaders of the insur
gents have not the faith in their con
%stituency to leave it to their judg
ment.
