THE Kentucky Senatorship.'

Springfield Republican.
The outcome Of the Kentucky sen
atorSllip contest furnishes another
telling argument for the election Of
united States senators directly by
the people. The legislature was De-
mocratic on joint ballot by eight vot-
es. and, according to the ordinary
rules Of the political game, the Demo
cratic party was entitled to the sena-
torship. -Four Democratic members,
however, refused to be bound by the
verdict Of the Democratic primaries
OF the State in favor Of Former Gov.
Bcckham, and thus a deadlock was
created.
The final election Of Il Republican,
Nlr. Bradley, was brought about I'M
der circumstances that do not reflect
favorMhlv upon the present system.
Two Democratic members fell i'll and
were absent without pairs, while an
other had died. The four Democratic
boilers then voted for The Republic
ram candidate, although, When their

from Il party point of view II" DOUBT,
p"l;tiral trca|'cry Of n. exceptional
nature.
y" such action was evcr takrn IN
Drlamarc by the Republican oppon-
rnts of AdIickS cvcl, in lie wears of
his m~alodorous struggle for a place

there were many occasions when a

rratS were willing 20 den,;vc their

MILBANK MILITIA MUMBLINGS
0 A 3D." S. D. N. G..
BY A PRIVATE

The khaki uniforms arrived last
week and were assigned to the men
today.
Last week the belts and bayon9ts
were assigned to the men, and bayonet
exercise was at once taken up.
Since the mastering in Arthur
Burns and Reatie Mcpherson, two
very good men, were appointed cor
porals.
A part OF the furocious warriors
stationed at Twin Brooks were here
Saturday getting their fighting appar-
Gtus.
With the warm weather approach
ing hereafter we will drill outside the
armory, and take up several new and
interesting maneuvers.
Company D will have a camp Of its
Own at Big Stone Lake this summer.
A cement target will soon be con-
structed there for rifle practice.
Drill has been ordered for once a
week as an inducement for stronger
attendance, but it is expected that an
extra drill will be allowed for those
desiring to drill that often.
1t is regrettable that so many are
not able to attend drill every time, as
the inexperienced ones keep the whole
line in disorder. We hope to have q
good attendance at the out door drill
next Tuesday.
Tuesday the company was drilled
out doors q little for the first time.
There was not over half ohe men there
and though big crowds stared and
gaped and rubbered, the boys be-
haved like veterans returning from a
grand Indian hunt.
Orders ere received from head
quarters to the effect that ali uniforms
Of Company D should not be taken
out of the armory. Quartermaster
Pawson knows his business thoroly,
and practically nothing has been lost.
Those who not present should
take notice, and turn in their armor
at once.
Tho the company has been enlisted
but q short time, they have been MAX
ing rapid progress under the able
management OF Capt. Fuller. There
are two squads at Twin Brooks under
Lieut.. Kelsey, and they are also re-
porte to be getting along nicely.
There are 56 men in the company and
two mere squads are wanted. All
those interested see Sergeant Thorn
dixie.
We r going to try to tell what
little we know every week, SO hereaf-
ter keep ynur mouth shut and your
eyes open and watch this column.
