The insurgents in setting forth
whe e they expect to secure possible
victories, according to the estimate of
a political writer, states that Dav,-
son county has grown to be one Of
the doubtful counties. and that there
is a strong probability that the in
surgents will carry IL at the June
primary. Even as guessing goes that
is = mighty poor guess. At the
March primary Dawson county was
carried by the stalwarts ty practi-
cally a 200 majority and that, too,
with the county organization being
in the hands of the insurgents. II
the insurgents are basing their claim
to success OF such a weak foundation
as hoping TO carry Daviscn county
they have but very little chance of
carrying anything else.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1908-05-15
the insurgept faction is entitled to
be defeated at the June primaries,
and that it will be accomplished is
the belief that is pretty well
grounded into the voters CT today.

The insurgent press is harping on
the subject that the stalwarts are
making ar attack on the state organ.
ization and that 1t should let up.
Ibis is rather poor advice coming
from an insurxent standpoint, when the
situation OF four years ago Is taken
into consideration. at that time
Mr.. Crawford and his followers
started out with the full intention Of
breaking up Of the state orpaniza-
ton, which had accomplished so
much for the republican party of the
state. They failed at that time, but
they did not lay down by any means.
They started their campaign again
and kept everlastingly at it until
they were successful two. years ago
in the nomination of Mr.. Crawford
at the state convention. We cannot
quite understand why the insurgents
should demand that the stalwdrts
yield now when the fight was precip-
itated over four Years ago and they
have never let up to the present
| time. II it was a matter OF principle
with the insurgents the excuse might
not he so, bad, but their only am
bition has been to get into the
offices OF the state and nation. What
possible reason can Governor Sraw-
ford offer for his opposition to Sena-
tor Kittredve, whose record in the
senate of the United States stands
out Respondent for the big things
that he has accomplished. Does he
figure that he can do more for the
state or ma ion? Is that the reason
that his ambition lies in that di1ec-
ton and that he is moving heaven
ara EARTH to attain it? The governor
is simply possessed of the desire To
get into the Senate and it cuts no
figure with him how much he re-
tards the interests of the state by
trying to usurp the place that Is SO
! well and so capably filled by another.

L ON LAST E g

There is not much left of the COM
bine which has beeu--workine against
the nomination of Secretary Taft.
At times it has risen to seemingly
great heights hut it has been slowly
receding until at the present time
there is little formidable effort being
made against Mr.. Taft and be will

all candidates. Oscar King Davis.
the Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger comments as
follows on the decline of the anti
Taft combine:
Last rites are practically all that
remain for the Cannon
Foraker Knox presidential combine
tion. This sorry state of the alliance
was disclosed today Sunday, when
a rumor was permitted to slip from
he Fairbanks camp that the vice
president vas being approached by
Taft managers to get him to rrn
again in second place. The Taft press
agents paused long enough In their
lat ors SUNDAY night to insist that
they didn't know anything about it.
TIE allies for zone weeks have been
allies in name only. The breach in
the combination developed immed-
lately after the Florida convention.
1t was charged then that Hughes
had been instrumental In sending
Peabody WetmOfe, a negro lawyer Of
New York City, to that convention
to block instructions for Foraker,
Hughes, though not an active mem.
Der of the combination, was regarded
as In sympathy with Its, objects.
When this evidence OF interference
was discovered Senator Dick, For

Hemenway. managers for Cannon,
Knox and Fairbanks, respectively, In

s 1t is said that In the towns where
state institutions of an educational
nature are located that Governor
Crawford gives the people to under
stand that he is responsible for
whatever there was given the insti-
tuition in the way Of an appropria-
uion and that the representative
from the county had nothing what
ever to do with 1T. This is one way
the governor has of drawing votes
unto himself, and cutting off the
real credit to the county member in
the legislature. Some people would
call that egotism. The word is to
easy. Gall Is more Appropriate.

Grating does not appear to be at
all . bad thing FROM the insurgent
point Of view, judging from the
endorsements 1T has received in the
past year. There does not seem to
be any room for douoting the prop
osition that Senator Gamble is up
against the charge OF 1t In the case
of his son drawing money from the
United States government without
giving value In return to the money.
The senator made sort Of a half
hearted response to the charge but
there was not an insurgept who
Thought that 1t was any answer
whatever to the charges made. In
the face of 1t however, the senator
was reelected to the position. Then
comes tue governor with his strong
faroritism Of the Chicago & North
Western railroad, which, through
the governors instuluentality, Las
been let down with a very small
assessed valuation in all portions Of
the state, and one portion Of the
road on the extension west of the
river was not assessed one dollar
because, as the governor says, he
did not know that portion Of the road
was In operation. At the same
time he pleaded ignorance on the
matter 1t was published throughout
the press of the state that the trains
were running on the line on a regular
schedule and that freight was being
carried. The governor took very
small interest In trying to find out
something that would add to the
taxable property of the state. 1t Is
very plain why he did not know as
to the trains being run on that
portion of the road, for 1t would
mean an increased expense to the
company. 1t Is not charged that
the governor benefited in the least
by the action but his favoritism for
the road is 30 apparent that his cry
OF purity 10 railroad connections has
little weight with the people. Thea
the third individual who has been
getting some benefit from q quarter
In which he has 10 right whatever
to get any assistance is Treasurer
Cassill. It Is undertood that the
gentleman Is receiving from the
interest on the state funds something
like go, 600 per year. It was never
designed that the state treasurer
should Lave any such graft in taking
the money that actually belongs to
the state. Mr.. Cass!ll does not
show the least inclination to let
go Of the graft, and evidently pro-
poses to hold on to it Just as
long as he Is permitted. It is up TO
the people OF South Dakota to say
whether they will contribute 500, 600
per year to an i%nsurgent state officer
when another gentleman, George J.
johnson, says that he will perform
! the duties of the position Just for
the salary that state pays that
officer and no more. There ought to
be no hesitancy OH the part OF the
people in showing their preference
for the stalwaru candidate. The
sane idea should prevail all down
THE line OF the stalwaIt ticket.
Graft ard increased expenses mark
The pathway OF the iEsnrgent fac.,on
ami they have no just claim rn the

and have failed In practically any
thing essential to the we. faie of tie

William f. Quinby leaves a record
OF singular achievements. BY execu'
tive ability as well as natural literary
talent he made the paper which he
controlled a force not only in his own
city but generally through the Eng
disappearing world for many years.
His literary bent may be called an in
heritance. as his father Daniel Frank
lin Quinby. had been a publisher.
Mr.. Quinby was born In 1885 in
Brewer. Maine. His father came to
Detroit in 1850. and. in conjunction
with J. X. Wellman started publica-
ton known as Wellman's Literary
Miscellany. The son worked In the
Office OF this paper until his father
sold II and then he took a literary
course at Ann Arbor. graduating In
1858.
Taking up the study Of law. he was
admitted TO the bar the following
year, but pursued that profession only
two years. Wilbur F. Storey. then
publisher OF the Free Press. offered
him q position on the staff OF that
paper In 1861. and in the same year.
Mr.. Quinby was made managing ed

Henry N Walker had become the
owner of the paper in the meantime,
and in 1863. Mr.. Quinby purchased
a quarter interest. which he increased
to a half interest nine years later.

der his management, men OF talent
and genius were brought to the paper
and in those days IL had reputation
such as but few papers in the codutry

In 1893 he was appointed by Presi

Netherlands retaining his post over
four years.
over two years ago, Mr.. Quihby

John Is. Howarth, chairman OF the

morning that he will call a meeting OF

in the case OF Police Commissioner
Smith, who has not taken advantage
OF the two weeks grace allowed by
the committee In which 10 enforce
the liquor laws.

self squarely In the way of law en-
forcement. has left us no alternative
but 10 lay the matter before the gov
ernor," said Jasper c. Gates, attorney
for the committee, land | shall so
advise the committee. Ii has been
two months since any complaints
against saloon men were made in the
police court, while liquor cases are

had no orders to that effect. The

that Commissioner Smith does not In

up the saloons after the legal hours
and on Sunday and has all the evil
dence IL desires as to violations OF
the law.
Mayor Ducks Again.
There Is just one topic on which
Mayor Thompson refuses 10 talk or
give an opinion. That Is the ques
ton of saloon restriction.

Il have nothing to do with 1t In any

IF Commissioner Smith is removed
and you have the appointment of his
successor. will you appoint man

Il will cross that bridge when

that the matter will ever be put up TO

In discussing the matter further the
mayor referred to a former remark OF
his that there will be only two tickets
in the field next fall-the Democratic
and the Prohibitionist.
The Royal Arch. an organization ot
saloonkeepers, is talking OF askin.,
the mayor TO intercede. The officers
or that organization favor a popular
vote on the saloon question and want
