1t is telegraphed from Milwaukee
that Senator LaF0llette will issue an
address to the public next week In
which he will announce himself can
didate for the presidency of the Unit
ed States, subject TO the action OF the
republican national convention.
There can be no question that Mr..
LaFollette, In theI presidential place.
would carry out the policies inaugu-
rated by Mr.. Roosevelt and the radical
element Of the party could nominate
him with full assurance Of . continu-
alton Of war upon vested interests.
Notwithstanding this assurance, Mr.
Roosevelt is opposed TO Mr.. LaF0llette
in every particular. and would throw
the weight OF the I'D ministration infu-
ence against him.
In the state Of South Dakota Mr.
LaF0liette Is certain III strong fol

The uselessness of all talk about hal

The uselessness of all talk about har
mony between the two factions of the
republican party in this state is illus
trated and enforced by the announce
ment in the Sioux Falls Press, when
that organ recently changed hands.
that it's policy would not be materially
changed. For years the Press has
been universally recognized as the lead
ing democratic organ OF the state, and
now when the Press comes under the
control of the chairman of the repnb-
|lican state central committee, the an
|nouncement that its past policy will be
continued Ia the future is instructive,
to say the least A policy that has
been eminently satisfactory to the
democrats Of the state for series of
years can hardly be expected to be sat
|isfsctory to true and loyal republicans.
The lines are becoming more and more
sharply defined in this state, and be-
fore the close Of next years campaign
this latest development of ld-time
populism, free silver and Peltig grewism
will have shown up to completion its
true inwardness.

ACCEPT GAGE OF BATTLE

The insurgents of this state have
commenced their campaign to control
the state for the nexi biennial period.
They propose to do 1t under the cloak
OF our great president, Theodore Roose-
velt. Notwithstanding the president i
oft repeated assertion that under no
circumstances would he accept another
nomination, as far AS the insurgents
influence goes they propose to elect q
delegation that will be- for Roosevelt
and no one else. Stalwarts differ from
the insurgents in this: They are for
Roosevelt and believe in him and for a
continuation of his policies, but they
do not impugn the integrity of Roose-
velt and class him as q schemer for the
great office which he has held with so
much honor. The stalwarts believe
that If President Roosevelt wished a
denomination he would say so. They
believe that If he would accept re-
nomiuation that he would say so. Hence
they take the president at his word and
stand first for Roosevelt and the man
whom he is backing for his successor
The president is for Taft. He is not
himself, but is lending his
influence 10 behalf of his close friend
and great secretarv. The stalwarts
will go before the people on this issue,
subterfuge or deceit and leave
TO them the determination of the COM
plexion OF this states delegation to the
next national convention -Huronite.

are very anxious that this county be

county should not be behind. We hava
as good or better corn than any Of
them, and 1t is for the farmers 10 see
that samples Of 1t are in Chicago to en-
ter into competition for the very lib-
eral premiums offered. All the expe nse
there is to the matter is the pre. paw
ment Of the.express on the corn to Chi

The Farmer Seed Co., Box 40, Far
bault, MINI, offers q hardy winter
wheat. which they have grown for
years here in Minnesota. This wheat
yielded As bushels per acre with the
Minnesota Experiment Station and
with the Iowa Experiment Station the
yield was even SIS bushels per acre,
which is about again az much as the
best varities OF spring wheat produce.
A great many farmers could grew
winter wheat 70 good advantage and
obtain Just as good results as our ex-
pertinent stations. We would advice
them to give the aforementioned
wheat at least trial and write to the
Farmer Seed Co. for circular and
