FACTIONAL FIGHT IN DAKOTA

RECORD BREAKING CAMPAIGN
One of Hardest Fought Battles since
Territorial Days I'm Northern
State-DeIeEatcs All
for Taft.

HURON S. D., Aprli 6.-Interest in the
republican state convention to be held
in this city Tuesday, April Z. to select
delegates to the national convention at
Chicago, becomes more intense each day,
The campaign thus far has been dis
tinctively on legal issues-a tenacious con-
test for supremacy between Governor Coe
l. Crawford and United States Senator
Kittredge, followers of the former being
classed as progressive republicans and the
Kittredge rank as stalwarts.
The campaign has been one OF the most
energetic in the history of South Dakota
and was one of the most hard fought
political battles since territorial days.
A peculiaI- feature of the contest is that
both factions adhere to the same political
principles and are supporters of the same
national party leaders and all are wide
apart as to the management of political
affairs in, this state.
A prominent republican defines the mat
ter thus: THE real issue was a question
of state policy. rather than national, and
under the efforts of their respective sup
porters TO erect a Kittredge or Crawford
band wagon lay the greater question OF
whether the people shall continue to
govern the state. or control of affairs re-
vert to the public service corporations as
in the former era Of stalwart rule"

That both factions have expended much
energy and no small amount of money in
placing their claims before the public is
conceded. Up TO the day OF the March
primaries neither side dared to assert with
more than meager emphasis that its side
had won, AS the returns came in, how
ever. II was found that the progressives
would have a working majority of not less
than forty in the state convention. In
short, the fece of the returns indicated
that 20 progressive delegates had been
elected out Of a total OF 4S9 constituting the
convention. Later, however It transpired
that some errors had been made and later
returns increased the victory for the pro-
gressives. That the republicans Of South
Dakota are strongly in favor of President
Roosevelt and his policies there is no ques-
ton. and he is first choice for president,
and the delegation TO be sent 70 the ma

upon his majesty's generosity to re-
ceive him."
There was a long pause before the
answer came. and Strong, at an eleva-
ton OF 1900 feet. sat wondering what
the outcome of his message might be.
He regarded it as highly improbable
that the king would receive him. On
the other hand, he was sufficiently con-
fident of his majesty's far-seeing policy
and courtesy to believe that he would.
And the latter supposition was cor
rect. For. after half an hour or so,

lows:

grounds opposite the long walk in III

Strong licked BE pleased to In
form his majesty that | am profoundly

He waited some seven minutes be-
fore putting the Victor under way
again. Then he made across the cas-
tie, and 30 to the long stretch Of green
sward that runs down 10 Frogmore be
side the long walk.
Without qualm, without even a
suspicion OF any sort in the back OF
his mind. he put the Victor down on
the grass.
And then, just as the Victor was
brought to a standstill. he saw his
majesty walking quite alone down the
gravel path.
For the first time In his life Strong
was conscious OF some slight nervous
ness. Though he had set out to be
the man who stole the earth. he recog'
nixed that, in spite of that, he stood for
the first time In the presence OF his
king.
His majesty came strolling gently
down the path, and as Strong stepped
out TO meet him he smiled at him in
a kindly and tolerant way.
This alone was sufficient to discon-
cert Strong. because up TO then he had
met with nothing but the most bitter

because, as he and the king stood face

left the opening TO him.

days. | must even suppose that your

said, Il presume this should be regard
