20 the citizens of Brookings county.
His life is an open book. He is high

him for years. He is a Roosevelt
Taft-Eiall Republican, knows the needs
of the state and its institutions, is in
terested in the growth of the State
college, and We believe will serve the
people, If elected, with credit to all.
He is not the man who can be handled
by any clique, has a mind of his own
and will be found on the right side
of all propositions tending to aid the
whole people.

l.. V. Mccoy has been an employee
of the Northwestern Ry. for a number
of wears. His duties as bridge and
pump station ~repairer are such that
he cannot ordinarily find time to be
home once in two weeks. AT present
he is acting as chairman OF the Kit
redge machine in this county. His
finances are such that it is impossible
TO make anyone believe that he is
either taking his own time and money
m assist the Kittredge cause or do
ing the turn for nothing. Is it un-
reasonable to suppose that he has an
understanding with his employers and
with Kit as we'll? These develop
ments show louder than words that
the Northwestern is at least not an
tagonistical TO the Kittredge cause or
they would call down Len Mccoy In
the same manner he has on previous
occasions called fellow employees
who differed with him and his employ
ers on certain principles. II this
does not explode to atoms the false
statements made by the Brookings
Press that the Northwestern Ry. was
aiding Coe I. Crawford then pray what
evidence is necessary.

The Washington corr"sBDG lent TO
the Minneapolis Journal says the re
dictionaries are smiling because OF the
selection of Senator Burrows of Michi-
gan as temporary chairman OF the
national convention. Burrows is re-
cognized as one of the forewcst anti
Roosevelt senator's. This Wa, give
him a chance to select a commi,tec on
platform that will fasten the nor!inee
of the convention to a lot of staudyat
,planks which will from the outset
handicap the Progressive Republicans,
and endanger the party TO defeat, if
the threats of the reactionisto are nut
into effect. ~
1t is but natural for the pubic mind
to recall the strenuous effort made
by Senator Kittredge to secure con-
troll of the delegation from South Da-
kota. 1t is reasonable to believe that
he. hoped to have the vote of South
Dakota recorded with the reactionists
lin their attempt to stem the tide Of
public sentiment against senatorial
bossism. corporation favoritism and
trust trickery. 1t is more than likely
that the keynote speech Il delivered
by an enemy of Roosevelt policies,
will be There is going to be a return
to good. old fashioned republicanism'

egation in the hands of a known reac.

Taft Instructions
The republicans of South Dakota have
been and are infavor of the presidents
denomination However. in view of his
refusal to succeed himself, we favor the
nomination Of that great secretary, William
Howard Taft. He is a man of great ability,
OF broad experience and whose judicial and

chief executive of this great American
Republic. He is in full sympathy with
the presidents policies and we'll ftted to

The Administration's
Notable Executive Acts.

After considerable hesitation and the
tentative acceptance Of the lowest bid
made by W. J. Oliver, for the Panama
canal contract the president finally de
cided last March to keep the whole un
dertaklng In government hands and
appointed Major Goethals Of the army
engineer corps TO head the canal com.
mission and take entire charge, both
Shonts and Stevens having resigned.
The president checked the California
legislature In Its antl-Japanese course

sion OF Jap laborers by diplomatic
means and by congressional action.
Secretary Metcalf startled the coun-
try JULY by declaring that the en-
tire Atlantic fleet Of warships would
make the unprecedented mobilization
In Pacific waters, statement which
was backed by the president and which
has now been borne out by the fact
of the sailing Of the great armada un.
der the command Of Admiral Evans
from Norfolk Dec. 16
In March the president gave official
impetus to the river deepening move
ment by appointing waterways COM
mission. headed by Burton Of Ohio
and later In November made his great
popular journey down the Mississippi
with dozen state governors to attend
the waterways convention at Memphis.
A general shakeup In the Roosevelt
cabinet occurred In March, when Post.
master General Cortelyou was trans.
ferred to the treasury portfolio upon
the retirement OF Secretary Shaw,

terror department vacancy created by
