KEEPING FAITH.

T. G.. DeJean of Plankinton, wei
known as a supporter of Senator Kit
redge for denomination, has sent out
this letter for publication:
As republican and as stalwart
| want to express my views on the
political situation in this state.
I'VE had a most bitter factiona
fight in our party at the primary elec
ton. A good many of us were disap
pointed in part as to the result Of that
contest.
at seems to me that the republicans
of the state are on trial now. Can the
republicans of South Dakota, forget
ting all past differences, show united
front and stand together for republi
can principles and policies?
"If we win in this election by the
old time majorities, it will show that
the republicans of this state are re-
publicans from principe and are not
sore heads because the candidate they
favored was not elected.
II believe that it is the duty and te
the interests of every republican ol
the stalwart faction to now show that
he is republican.
"At the coming election let US show
our faith in republican principles and
win an old time victory.
"The democrats are counting on the
dissatisfaction of stalwarts, and let us
show them that they don't begin to
understand the faith that true re-
publican has in the rinciples of his
party.
"Close up the ranks and pass the
word along Vote the straight ticket.
Here is man who can contemplate
with satisfaction what he has written
He is big enough and sincere enough
to keep faith with the party that adj
mitted him to its primary. He shows
that he has discrimination enough tc
know that when he took part in that
primary it was not with the thought
that he would leave the party if he
could not have his choice of candi,

quires good business ability, more
so now than ever before, and ex-
perience as legislator, or broad
knowledge of the law, is almost in
dispensible. In this respect the re-
publicans have great advantage over
the democrats. We are willing to
concede to the democratic candidate
a good business ability, which is only
fair on our part, but in this he has no
advantage over Senator Vessey, and
above this the democratic candidate
is entirely lacking in Legislative ex-
perience, or learning in the law.
Vessey will make an ideal governor,
and we think our readers will all agree
with us in this statement.

loans and discounts have increased
in proportion, making vastly more
work for the officials of the public
examiners Office and requiring a
larger force than during the wonder
full' administration of Gov. Lee
Then, too, examination of state
banks under Gov. Lee was more a
matter of form than anything else,
and it was nothing uncommon for
examiners to make an examination of
banks by smoking in back room
with the president Of the institution
being examined" The examinations
made in these modern days are ex.
aminations in every sense of the term,
being fully as thorough as those con-
Quoted by national bank examiners.
MIR. Lees figures in reference to
other departments of the present
state government are as far off az
those presented by him in reference
to the legal and bank examiners de-
partments, and are SO garbled and
distorted as to be absolutely worth
less. Voters will be fooled if they
place the slightest credence in them.

Huronite.
The above paragraph shows that
some are republicans only when they
can have their own way. The editor
of the Huronite has long been one OF
the leading machine men of the state,
but it seems that he is not republican
enough to abide by the result Of his
party nominations. The Huronite is
not entirely alone in this position, but
we doubt very much if there are
enough of them to influence the rank
and file of the stalwart vote. The
average man likes fair play. Some
stalwarts were nominated at the
primary and are receiving the support
of the progressives. This should ea-
title the progressive candidates To
every stalwart vote. 1t has been the

500, 900 is POPULATION.

Doane Robinson has been making
population estimates, and based his
figures upon the school census, using
the same ratio between school popula-
tion and total population as was shown
by the 1905 census of the state. On
that basis, with Indians considered 10
be just the same in number as they
were in 1905, the population of the
state is 100000. Stanley county leads
them all in increase, showing 2,6i9
population in 1905 and 20,29S at the
present time. The estimates show
that while the newer counties of the
northern and western portions of the
state have all increased the counties
of the southeastern portion of the
state generally show a loss.

dates. He has the vision to see that
if voters should act on that principle
there could be no primary or any
other method of selecting candidates
that would not destroy the party. He
is broad enough to say that independ-
ent voting is one thing aud vengeful
voting is an entirely different thing.
This man is not one of those to
whom harmony means making the
other fellow knuckle down when the,
win and, when they don't win, going
off in corner to pout
He is not of the kind that must be
fed before they can be good.
He does not propose to allow him
self to be worked by an opposing
party that makes practice of looking
for hurts that salt may be poured in
to them.
His ballot will represent his convic-
tions, not a confession, character, not
lack of it, honor, not treachery.
He is the best party man who re-
mains with his party for the sake of
principle at a time when it is not al
together agreeable to do SO. No party
can suit all its members. Sioux Falls

DEMOCRATIC FIGURES JUGGLERS

The republican press bureau sends
out the following in refutation of
some of the democratic claims of

some of their statements made for the
purpose of fooling the voters. The
article is so ''pat" that we publish it
