and Clarence B. Miller of Duluth Goes to
Congress From Eighth District.
Davis Horton and White, Republicans, Reelected
to the Legislature From the Forty-Fifth
District by Good Maorties

Taft has swept the country like a
whirlwind and it is believed that his
plurality will exceed that of Roosevelt
in 1904. It is impossible, however,
at this time to approximate the plu-
ralities of the presidential candidates
as there are many precincts through
out the country from which no reports
have been received. It is known,
however, that Taft has carried New
York by close to 100000 plurality,
Il, 900 more than Roosevelt polled in
the state in 1904. In Ohio his plur-
atty is estimated at $4,000. he has
carried West Virginia and Indiana,
which were claimed by Bryan, and
it is believed that he will come out
ahead in Colorado, Missouri and
Nevada, also considered solid for the
Nebraskan. Bryan carried Georgia.!
Hughes has won out in the New
York governorship race against
Chanler by a plurality estimated at
$1,000. Ohio has apparently elected
Harmon, democrat, as governor, while
Deneen, republican, has carried
Illinois and Utah has elected a repub-
lican governor.
In Minnesota John A. Johnson has
been reelected governor by a plu-
rality of perhaps 10000 over his OPP
ponent, Jacob F. Jacobson. John
sons victory is attributed to the fact
that he was the candidate of the SIN
terests, which enabled him to throw
barrels of money into the campaign,
while his opponent was a COMPARE
lively poor man. Yet withal, it was
not expected that he would obtain such
a signal victory, for the rural districts
gave Jacobson substantial support.
Mr.. Jacobson's own county of Lac
qui Parle stood by him sp]endidly,
giving him 1875 plurality, where it
gave johnson PSI four years ago.
Nicollet county. the home of Governor
Johnson, gave him a reduced plu-
rality. Pope county showed change
of about 1000 in favor of Mr.. Jacob
son, while Stevens, just adjoining,
ran about the same as before.
With the exception of governor all
other state officers elected we're re-
publicans.
Clarence B. Miller, republican, was
elected to congress from the Eighth
district by large majority over
Alexander Halliday, public ownership
candidate.
McCleary, republican, was defeated
by Hammond, democrat, in the Second
district by a majority of $500.
In the Forty-6fth legislative dis
trict, comprising the counties of Mile

Andrew Davis, Thos. 81. Horton and
Frank T. White. republicans, were re-
elected. Rufus P. Morton, the pro-
hibition candidate, made splendid
run and was only defeated by about
500 votes.
Mayor Haynes, democrat, was re-
elected in Minneapolis by plurality
of 267 over Charles K. HUM, the re-
publican nominee. Mr.. HUM does
not, however, concede defeat, and
has declared that he will contest the
election.

Gophers Delicious.

Experts of the department of agri-
culture have discovered that the
pocket gophers- depredations of
which cost the farmers and fruit
growers of the country $1,000, 900 an
nually-are good eating. The flesh
when properly prepared for the table
is said to be delicious, rivaling
quail in flavor. With the price of
beef and all food-stuffs ballooning in
value there is a fortune in store for
the man who converts the Americans
into nation of gopher eaters. The
opportunity is ripe and gopher steaks,
outlets and spare ribs-may yet solve
the housekeeping problem.-Fargo

WORKING FOR HIS BOSS

Aberdeen News: When the govern.
or was asked a few days ago why, as
a member OF the state board Of
equalization, he failed to tax forty
miles OF the Northwestern railroad
running east from Rapid City, he
made the excuse that he did not
know the road had been completed
and this in face Of the fact that
newspapers In the Hills had been
publishing the new time card OF the
road for some time. The people
remember That Crawford was once
the paid attorney Of the Northwest
ern and refuse to accept the explana-
tion. The latest Development in this
fragrant case OF Crawford favoritism
Is the action of the commissioners of
Pennington county, who have
adopted resolutions providing for the
taxation OF the forty miles of road
omitted from the tax rolls, and in
stead OF fixing the assessment at
$1,000 a mile 1t vas placed at 81, 500
a mile.
Thus the governor. again stands
indicted Of railroad favoritism and
he the great exponent of "reform."
IL is nc wonder the Crawford
machine dropped the word s'reform "
Its magic power long ago dwindled
away and revealed Its bogus quality.
The new word is ''progressive." but
like the former slogan. 1t also is
anonymous of deceit.

What has the governor accom-
pilst.ed on the stone issue? Nun a
solitary ching. Outside material

started to create the deception
among the people of tue state 1t
was we'll known that 1T would b.
impossible for South Dakota ma err
ial to enter into competition With
other states, and the money ~as not
at hand to permit of the I,rver
expenditure, consequently there was
no other our to pursue tn tue
enc. 1t was luerely a strong pl v
for sympathy that the governor vas
working, and it was on such decep.
tive practices that he was hojsted
into the office of governor. Even
there his insatiate greed for Office
was o satisfied, and he must needs
aspire to tie position of senator. Tie
whole campaign of reform has been
directed along the line of Coe /.
Crawfords elevatine himself to Tn
highest position within the gift Of
the state at a time when the same
position was being filled by Senator
Kittredge In such 4 manner as to
bring vast credit and high standing
to the commonwealth. If Coe l:
Crawford hasn't got his moneys
worth In the politics of this state
then there is not a man within IT'S
borders who has.
His record starts back as far as
1883, wien he was elected to roper
sent three counties on tile Missouri
river to the territorial legislature,
and he has been coming down the
line for twenty years with the desire
for Office still %permeating his breast.
He is crying out against the dtsrup-
tion of the republican party. Yet
be is the sole Individual who started
the disruption. II he had gained
his ascendancy to his present position
on an honest basis there would not
be tile least desire to say aught
against him and his aspirations. To-
day his whole political line of as
cendancy is laid bare and the inor-
dinate greed of the political office
hubter is being accepted as the real
motive for the alleged reforms which
are shattered along his pathway.
The people have been let down With
a dull sickening thud on the reforms
and tliey have seen where the COVER
nor has failed to make good on all his
assertions which we're promulsatE a

The situation In which Governor

to his long association with the
politics Of the state and the mer

ment for the state, but that 1t is
past and and he is entitled to the
benefit OF the doubt. Then again
he wanted to be a candidate for con.

made the race, but at that time the
wave OF populism swept over the
country and the republican party OF
South Dakota went down to defeat,
and 1t was defeated SO BADLY that 1t
took some years to again place the
repbulicans:.in power. Who accom-

tredge Is the man who stood at the
head OF the party in the years of
fierce campaigning that eventually
resulted IN the party again being
placed In power. Governor Crawford
