THAT BRISTOL LETTER

A number of republicans Of the
state have desired a copy of the now
famous Bristol letter" which senator
Kittredge reads in all of his speeches
to show that Bristol offered to sell out
his clients "for a lump sum" and was
willing to recommend to his clients
the purchase of land at a high price
this letter which defeated the on
firmation of Bristol because he was a
CRATER. 1t later developed that the
company decided to submit to II
"hold-up" of $500 so that Bristol
would not queer the deal. nat
Kittredge says that so long as he is
a member of the judiciary committee
no mar with a RECORD like BristoPs
can be confirmed to any federal office.
The senator has been particularly
villitied for the defeat of Bristol.
Eighteen articles as a serial editorial
story have been printed on the sub
iect in one Crawford paper alone and
others ave done about as we'll. Read
the Bristol letter, read between the
lines. and Their make up your mind
whether Senator Kittredge was right
or wrong. The letter follows

RRIAIP Raj THE PRIMARY
How the Insurgents Have DisoWDed
Their Own High Priced
Child

Two years ago the only thing talked
by the reform leaders in this state
was the primary. They condemned
the old system which had been in
vogue for years, and insisted that the
political millennium would never come
until a direct statewide primary law
was enacted.
The people hardened unto these
leaders, and believed what they said.
Henc a state wide primary law was
enacted, and the people supposed it
was to be compiled with.
Mcpherson county was the first to
violate the terms n letter and spirit
of the law. There twelve insur-
gents out of a total committee of for
ty-six named the entire delegation to
the state convention. In Stanley coun-
ty less than half the members of the
committee named the delegation. The
| same was true in Sully county. 1t was
| attempted by the reformers in Grant,
but the attempt was defeated, as it
was also in Faux. In Aurora county,
the central committee, which is con-
trolled by the insurgents, refused to
cal the together until after
it was too late to legally a a conven-
ton. The insurgents in Minnehaha
county, which is controlled by The
stalwarts, tried to induce the stalwarts
to violate the law, but the stalwarts
refused and called a convention il
the regular way. Later, after all the
committees had by unanimousvotede de-
cided that the primary was too expen,
sive, and hat the stalwarts had the
county anyway, it was decided te
abate the primary. In M%innehahs
county, the central committee stood
81 stalwart to II insurgent, which is
about the proportion of the vote il
the county.
1t may seem odd to some people
that the primary should be violated
by the very men who urged its adop
ton, but the people Of the state ar
rather getting used to odd things.

BUTTONS.

h Sioux Falls Kittredge club
which now has 1000 members, con-
fined exclusively to Sioux Falls. order
ed 5000 Kittredge buttons. They ar
rived about two weeks ago. and went
like hot cakes. An order for 10000
more was then placed and these are
now nearly gone though they reached
Sioux Falls only a few days ago. An
order for another 10000 has been
placed. In addition to this the trav-
cling men, with whom Senator Kilt
redge is very popular, nave ordered
and received some very fine Kittredge
buttons, which are to be seen on the
coats of the knights of the grip every
where. Every day makes it more GER
tain hat Senator Kittredge is a sur.,
winner in the fight. 1t is true, how
ever, that every vote counts in the
fight in June, and the stalwarts pro-
pose to work for each additional vote
as hard as if they thought it would
be the deciding vote. 1t is the desire
to make a clean sweep of the state
in June.

j. G. Damn, of Pierre, an employee
Of the state land department. made
such a good record in his position and
was of sue value to the incoming in
surgent commissioner, that he was al
lowed to retain the position for some
time. even though he was not an in
surgent. A strict adherence to the re-
form principle as eXemplif1ed in this
state, however, demanded that Mr..
Damn either become a shouting Craw-
ford enthusiast or lose his position.
This pleasant choice was duly placed
before him, and Mr.. Damn, as any
honest man would, stood pat. He re-
fused to desert his principles and his
friends, among whom were numbered
Congressman Burke. Consequently
Mr.. Damn is now out of a job and is
looking for work, and another victory
for the Crawford brand of reform is
recorded.

Mr.. Crawford said afterwards that
he changed his vote because he was

bered that Mr.. Crawford was solemnly
pledged by the convention of h

of the gross earnings tax law; let it
also be remembered that a man who

do the same thing in 1908 should he

StalWariS Only Need so More Votes
In Convention and Insurgents

StalWaris Show Gains in Many Coun-
tieS-..Will Cast the States Vote for
TAFT, the Roosevelt Candidate

Up to ten days ago the insurgent
leaders were loudly telling how they
were going to control the April con-
vention at Huron. and about how
important to the fight in June would
be the control of hat convention. AS
county after county has slipped
away from them, they nave become
thoroughly alarmed, and are now
hedging. They say that the control
CT the April convention doesn't
mount to much after all. Still, they
raped the primary in four counties
to get the vote from those counties
- a thing which they would hardly
have done if they had considered the
matter unimportant.
Of the delegates already selected,
the stalwarts ave 100 1-2. while the
insurgents have but Al L.. 1t has
been agreed to divide the vote of
Sphinx county which will make the
score stand: stalwarts 165 1-2; in

in the convention, and. it takes 245
to control. Thus the stalwarts have
to get so votes out OF the remainder
to control, while the insurgents mus
get 200. That the stalwarts will be
able to do this easily there is small
eason to doubt and the boast of SEN

HI EIfIfIRREEDDGGEE WILL WILL HEI ?
The United States May Purchase the
AmuDdSeD Vessel Which Made
the Northwest Passage

Since hearing the lecture of the
noted explorer, Captain ~Amundsen,
there has been aroused a good deal
of interest in his staunch little craft,
the Gjoa, with which he made the run
of the northwest passage. The GJoa
is the first and only vessel to pass
around the north coast of North
America, thus finding the Northwest
passage, for which search a been
made for the last four hundred years.
She now lies in Mare Island Navy
yard, and if the plan set on foot in
this city materializes, h will never
leave the custody of the United States
government.
Many Americans believe that the
boat which made such a gallant trip
through hitherto unexplored Ameri-
car waters, should forever remain in
this country and should be preserved
among THE valuable historical collec-
lions of this government. The plan
is to ave congress appropriate a sum
for the purchase of the vessel from
Captain Amundsen and when the Pan
anna canal is completed bring 1T
around to Washington to be preserved
and placed on exhibition as an inspir-
ing sight n an example of the in
trepid hardwood, that made the voy-
age of the little craft n her brave
commander and crew possible.
On his return to Washington it is
expected that nate Kittredge will
introduce g. bill in the senate for this
purpose and it is hoped that the plan
will be successful. Besides the inter-
est which all Americans must feel in
the Gjoa, the large number of Nor
wegians who nave been adopted into
the United States would be particular
ly gratified to have the vessel remain
here permanently.
