An lnsur9ent Argument

In trying 10 prove that the
stalwarts are against Taft for
president. the Sioux Falls Press
uses the following - m argu-
ment:
The Roosevelt Taft club
il in fact Kittredge club
only. That this Is true was
demonstrated ut the meet
ing OF tie republican state
central com mittee at Huron
last week. At that com nit
tee meeting every stalwart
present, 10 in number. vot--
ed against q resolution 10
endorse Taft for president.
In making this statement the
insurgent papers Of the state
stop short Of tho whole facts OF
the matter, and q truth half told
Is as bid as q lie. The stalwar,
members Of the com mittee voted
against q resolution endorsi
not only Taft for president but
Crawford for senator. Of course
there isn't a stalwart in the
state that will endorse Crawford
for senator, as against kittredge
who President Roosevelt says is
one OF the few men in the United
States senate who can be de-
pended on to do things.
At the Getting of the republi-
can county ce ntral committee in
Wagner last week resolution
was passed endorsi ng Taft for
president. aud Kittredge for U.
S. senator, aud every insurgent
on the com mittee voted against
it. Therefore, following out the
reasoning as given In the Sioux
Falls Press, the insurgents Of
Charles Mix county are against
Taft for president, and their
slogan is Crawford only. We
have more grounds for saying
this, because until just lately
the insurgents have been again +
Taft, and every voter knows it,
which knowledge will be very
potent at the June primaries in
deciding FOR Kittredge for our
next senator.
The Charles Mix new era. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1???-1911, 1908-02-21

One insurgent paper makes
the statement that ''Kittredge s
attitude in the Smoot case does
not interest the people of South
Dakota. We are not pleased
to learn that . vote against law
breaking; against those who
make promises only to break
them; against violating the
American standards Of the
sanctity and purity OF our
homes; against polygamy in
general, are mot of interest to
the people of South Dakota. /"
But nevertheless, we do not
believe one word Of it.

IL few other isolated sections of
the state, the 1908 fruit crop in
Utah was above the normal.
and in the oldest fruit centers was
phenomcnally large and unsurpassed
in quality. while the returns from the
crop aggregated the largest in the his
tory of the industry.
Aside from local express shipments.
which amounted to hundreds OF car
loads in the aggregate there were
shipped out of the state up to the
close of the peach season about 1000
ears of fruit, worth between $500 and
5000 car. In addition there will he
some 200 or more cars Of apples shipped
this season. The commercial value
of the Utah fruit crop for 1908, is con
servatively estimated at $l,0OO,0oO. in
Guiding that supplied to the local mar
kets and cannercs.
The fruit industry this year shows n
phenomenal growtl, over former rec

But even under conditions which have
been somewhat adverse, the results
have been profitable and encouraging
to a high degree.
OF course the factories are not in
operation throughout the year. They
are busy only during the season when
products can be put up and shipped
and while some handle only tomatoes,
others put up all sorts of produce.
FARMERS WIDE AWAKE.
Farmers have taken advantage OF
golden opportunities and factories have
not suffered in the least for want Of
material to can and ship. and there has
been ready market for all that has
gone out of the state. The business
improves each year as mora stuff is
raised. handled with greater dispatch,
quickly canned and shipped
The year 1908 has been a successful
one as pertains to al! the products with
one exception. That is tomatoes. They
We're cut short because OF early and
heavy frost which came during the
beginning of the canning season on
this account there We're probably not
moro than 100000 cases of tomatoes
packed in this state and as a result
the price advanced because OF curtaiIe1
supply,
As to fruit there was an extra large
supply and the product was of general
superior quality. 1t is consevativcly
estimated that 10000 cases of fruit

the present year.
