Iroquois Chief: An enthusiastic

liberal batch Of insurance stateme.ls

second Abraham Lincoln. Well,
hardly. Imagine Abraham Lincoln
going into Mlnnehaha country during
a campaign and for the purpose of
securing votes publicly proclaimine
that the old capitol commissioners
decision not to use South Dakota
stone was az 'outrags' and pledging
the people that If he and his associ-
ates were elected that South Dakota
stone should be used; and after being
elected going back on his public
pledge completely. The comparison
is an unfortunate one. A. Lincoln

he is representing tie people In this
campaign. That is a mistake. The
governor is simply representing Coe
1. Crawford, and his ambition to be-
come a United States senator. The
governor knows as we'll as anybody
can know that there is no absolute
reason or oisplacing Senator Kit
tredge other than a personal ambition
of himself and his political LEADERS,.
Senator Kittreage's work at Wash
ington stands out too prominently
for it to be regarded lightly, and we
doubt very much the possibility OF
the people Of South Dakota making
a change in such an important
position to CRAFTY the personal
ambition of an individual.

The American Society OF Equity,
which Is more generally known as
the farmers union, with headquart-
ers in Indianapolis, has just gone
through with a serious condition of
things, which threatened to disrupt
the whole business, but it was kept
intact after all. Three huEdred
farmers assembled there for the
annual meeting and it was to find
that trouble was brewing over the
actions OF the gentleman who was
the president Of the society, ]. A.
Everett. Charges had been preferred
against him that pointed to the fact
that he was using the society for
personal gain. He vas asked to be
present to refute the charges. but he
failed to attend, and as a result he
vas deposed from bis position and
another farm paper selected rs the
official organ of the society. Everett
came out In a long statement in his
farm paper to show that he had been
treated in a very shabby manner by
the society and that it was violating
a contract with him when it selected
another paper as its official organ.
The question now is will the new
officers have the interests of the
society at heart and not prove re-
creant to the confidence imposed in
them.

In concluding a commendatory
article concerning the announcement
of the candidacy Of Governor Craw-
ford for a place 10 the United States
senate, the Pierre Dakotan makes
the following amusing statement:
With the election of Governor
Crawford to a seat in the United
States Senate, South Dakota will at
once begin to move in leaps and
bounds forwards. and will occupy an
honored position In the front rank
of the Union.
that in Washington South Dakota
has had no standing in the past
eight years? Does the Dakotan
want to really Try and deceive the
people into believing that South
Dakota has not occupied an honorable
position among the state of the union
at Washington? No doubt 1t is pro-
per that the Dakotan should feel
that 1t ought to say something that
will reflect cnpleasantly on the GENTLE
men who have represented the state
in the house Of representatives and
In the senate. but when it attempts
to convey the idea that with the
election Of Governor Crawford the
state will assume a position it never
before has had it makes the Dakotan
appear more or less silly. With
Senator K%ittredge practically the
chairman of the Panama canal and
Messrs. Martin and Burke on very
important committees In the house,
we would like to know II that is not
placing the state In an honored posi-
ton and If its sufficient recognition
Of a state that has been in the union
as short a time as South Dakota.
We presume, according to the
Dakotan's idea that the stalwart
In Washington has done
nothing to advance the state in the
least degree. II. such is the idea then
the Dakotan has a very limited
of what has been going
on down there for years. Should 1T
be possible for the governor to win
out In the senatorial fight. we'll
gamble 1t will take twice as long for
him to rise to the eminence In the

There Is a pretty strong supsicion
that Governor Crawford is not SIN.
cere when he lays out the charges
against Senator Kittredge as mis-
basis for his campaign to succeed the
junior senator. The governor is an
acknowledged reformer; it is his
business to see that everything is
carried forward. In a thoroughly
honest and conscientious manner;
that he will always fight against a
man whose principles are iDimical to
hts party. The i%nsincerity of the
governors attitude is shown in Que
Of his statements, wherein he says
that II the people Of the state prefer
Senator Kittredge then he is willing
to submit to the Will of the people.
That Is not the duty or the ambition
Of q genuine refortner; II he Is de-
feated he renews the attack until
the reform is accomplished. The
governor CHARGES Senator Kittredge
with divers rhtuRs political. of being
against the common people. against
the president and not working or the
best interests Of the state-and yet
should Senator KittredRe defeat the
governor. the latter is going to thus
acknowledge that his estimate OF
Senator Kittredve is all wrong that
he was making charges which he
c puld not sustain; that all OF these
charges were trumped up by til,
governor In the hope that he could
make the people believe them AMI

And so Governor Crawford has
announced himself az a candidate to
succeed United States Senator
Kittrsdge. It takes the governor
thres Or four columns Of space to set
forth his candidacy. ::the greater pro.
portion Of which is consumed by
Allowing what he has accomplished.
and what Senator Kitredge has failed
to according to TIE ideas Of the
governor-and the supposition is not
strained a particle when it Is SUP
posed that the governor would take
most any grounds as reasonable GO
supplant Senator Kittredge in the
affections OF the people Of South
Dakota. In coming out as a candt-
date the governor is responding to
the demands "of thousands OF people,,
over the state, and Of course with
ouch:a call resounding In his ears the
governor very naturally yielded.
The governor proposes to state the
Issue Of bhe campaign on which he
viii make his light during the cam
paiRn With Senator Kittredge. He
has gone over the senator's record
and picked out The features on which
he proposes to show to the people of
tho state that the senator is a danger
Gus man and should not be allowed to
represent the people In the United
States senate. That Is the governors
idea. but 1t Is possible that the
people Will not be satisfied to accept
the governors statement on those
things. There are just a few things
about the career OF this reform
governor. something a. to his politi-
cal associations In the past, that will
bear Investigation to a degree Of
unpleasantness, and there Is no
question but what 10 the course Of
time the past will be laid bare.
About the long address which the
