is not an honest, conscientious and
able official. He has made a good gov.

Kit off the track.

thing it would be to have Crawford
run for governor again and then run
Kit for the senate. We want harmony

Cell For State Meeting OF the Roose

A mass meeting OF the members o!
the Roosevelt Republican State League
is hereby called to assemble at Huron
on Wednesday, Sept. l1th, 1907, at :
p. m, for the purpose OF periecting an
organization to secure the election OF
q Roosevelt delegation TO the Nationsl
Republican convention in 1905.
All friends OF the principles for which
President Roosevelt stands and those
who are in favor OF his nomination for
a second term, are cordially invited 10
attend this meeting.
The enemies Of a government by and
for the people are secretly working for
the retirement OF President Roosevelt
in order that his great work shall not
be completed. therefore il becomes the
duty Of every progressive republican
in the state to take up this work to the
end that a cold Roosevelt delegation
shall represent South Dakota in the
next National Convention.

Kittredge and Crawford 10 their pres
ent positions, and il IS inferred by
these papers that the suggestion had
its inception in the conviction that
stalwart defeat is inevitable unless a
compromise is reached. The News is
not informed sufficiently upon present
condition of the public mind TO have
a conclusive judgement upon the rela-
tive strength OF the factions, but il
does know that the politics are mighty
uncertain and that the fellow who
thinks he has a mortal cinch upon
the situation is most likely TO find
himself sprawling in the mire at the

absolute control of his dirigible

The kind of harmony desired by the
News reminds us of Judge Bookings
in his great harmony campaign of
1872. He preached harmony every
where while determined TO rule or
ruin the party, and because he could
not have the kind of harmony he
wanted he did his best TO wreck the
party.
The harmony desired by the News
means the return of a corporation
man to the United States Senate and
a surrender of every principle the
Roosevelt element of the party stands
for.
Harmony on such a basis would be
cowardly and d~isgraceful and would
stamp the progressive element OF the
party as mere traders and tricksters
unworthy the confidence of intelligent
freemen.
