sage for such an amendment would
be one of the worst things that could
be done by the people of the state,
as it would allow unscrupulous leg
islatures to burden the state with a
debt which the people would never
be able to unload. The provision
incorporated in the constitution pro-
viding that no levy should exceed
four mills was a wise one and it
should not be removed. This is an
insurgent move and like great
many other moves OF theirs is
prompted by a desire to get hold
of more of the states money to bols
ter up the insurgent organization
with.
The Sioux Falls Press, one of the
insurgent papers of the state in an
editorial relative to the prohibition
attack on the primary law intimates
that the prohibition state central
committees is merely tool for Kilt
redge in the fight. The Press goes
further and dares to threaten the
members of the supreme court rela-
tive to their decision in the case. 1t
asserts that all the members were
elected by the stalwarts and that
they cannot do otherwise than decide
against the question regardless of
the law in the case. For a news
paper man to make such an assertion
without facts to back his statements
is crime of gravest character and
the writer OF the attack made by the
Press is certainly open to fine and
Imprisonment on the charge Of con.
tempt of court. Several editors in
eastern states have felt the weight
Of the hand Of the law in similar
cases when the statements made were
much milder and it would not sur
prise us if the supreme bench of the
state of South Dakota should call
upon the editor of the Press to sub
stantiate his statements or suffer the
consequences. The desperate cause
of the insurgents is shown by their
being willing to allow an attack on
the supreme court of the state, such
as that made by the Sioux Falls
Press. A self respecting organiza-
ton would not permit anything OF
the kind and we believe this attempt
to intimidate the supreme judges
will prove a roorback in the Craw-
ford campaign. Marshall County

OFFICIALLY TOLD
OF NOMINATION
SOUNDS CONSERVATIVE NOTE
IN SPEECH OF AC-
CEPTANCE.

: Cincinnati, July 29.-OficiaIly nod-
fed yesterday of his nomination for
the presidency by the republican
party, William H. Taft at his broth
er's home in this, the city of his ma
tivity, formally accepted the honor,
pledged anew his allegiance to the
policies of President Roosevelt and
declared that the chief function OF
the next republican administration
will be to clinch what mas been al
ready accomplished by the present &C.
cupant Of the white house. In doing
this, however, Taft pointed out
in what is regarded as a conservative
note in his address that there will be
serious and difficult work to do,
principally to devise means by which
the high level of business integrity
and obedience to law which he
(ROOsevel) has established may be
maintained and departures from it re-
strained without undue interference
with legitimate business" Taft
attacked the democratic platform, as
sorting that most of its declarations
either are inconsistent or disingenu-
Gus. Bryan's policies were held up
as destructive. There were loud cries
of mo- no." when he said:
81 submit to those most interested,
wage earners, farmers, business men,
the introduction into power
Of the democratic party, with Bryan
at its head, and with the business de-
struction that it openly advocates as
a remedy for present evils, will bring
about the needed confidence for the
of prosperity"
Taft denounced the democratic anti
injunction plank as vague and am
Oiguous" in contrast to the repubIi-
can declaration which he said was
clear ana unequivocaI" Labor and
he rights of labor came in for ex-
ensive consideration.
Following the delivery of his
speech, Taft reviewed a parade of To-
al and visiting militia and political
marching clubs which occupied so
minutes in passing given point.
Practically half those in line were

sanized in this and neighboring
