a CHANGE

Without doubt one of the most
peculiar changes in the antagonism
to Mr.. Bryan is that which occurred
down in Illinois. -Four years ago
Roger Sullivan was the national COM
mitteeman from Illinois on the
democratic comm ittee, and at that
time he vas most bitterly opposed by
Mr.. Bryan for reelection. Today
Nj. Sullivan Is found supporting the
Nebraksa gentleman and Illinois will
support Byran In the Denver con-
vention. MI. Bryan has appeared as
one of these high minded gentlemen
who stand for principle and clean and
pure politics. Those two things he
could not find in Mr.. Sullivan and
he gave the democracy of Illinois to
understand that Mr.. Sullivan should
be deposed from his high place on
the land wagon. Witness the letter
that Mr.. Bryan wrote concerning
Mr.. Sullivan July II, 1905:
"The fact, however, that he holds
his office BY a fraud and against the
EXPRESS wishes of the majority of the
delegates to the state convention,
makes it Impossible for honest demo-
Gratis to associate with him as a
do not retain the right of a majority
to control party policy and select the
party's representatives. for what can
We contend? II he will at cnce send
his resignation to the chairman OF
The national committee, and make
Tho matter public, he will show his
desire to help the party and will do
much to restore himself In the opin-
ion OF those who felt outraged by the
last state convention.
You will notice by democratic
literature In Illinois that Mr.. Sui
livan Is still the national committee
man, and that he is this year advo-
eating the nomination OF MI. bryan.
Who has changed his mind concern
Ing the Sullivan who was regarded
. q CRATER and q blot on the demo.
cratic party Of Illinois? Bryan
evidently does not hold to his high
principles when the delegation Of a
state Is In doubt and he happens to be
. candidate for president. And the
man Mr.. Bryan sparned four years
aao Is considered something OF a
gain so long as he can do something
Tor Bryan. The perennial candidate
can put his principles, etc., to sleep
foe the time that ne Is enjoying the
fruits OF Mr.. SullIvan's labor with
democracy In Illinois.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1908-05-08

Governor Crawford has stated In
bis speeches that If he is defeated at
the primary election In June that
he will support the nominee for SEN
ator. That Is a generous proposition
on the part Of the governor. but at
the same time he is placed in u very
peculiar attitude In his statement bv
reason of the fact that he Is using
every means possible to discredit
Senator K%ittredge; is endeavoring
to show to the people Of South
Dakota that Senator Kittredge is
not a fit man to represent South
Dakota in the senate; that he is not
q friend Of the people; that he has
nothing IN common with them /; that
he will support the railroads. the
trusts, the combines ana everything
that is opposite to the welfare of the
Of the state. This is the
picture that the governor draws of
Senator KittredRe. and on this basis
he Is urging the voter of the state
to cast their ballots against him and
for the governor. The inconsistent
part Of the whole affair is the fact
that the governor, II he is defeated.
Is going to support the candidacy of
the senator to return TO the senate.
II Senator Kittredge is all that the
governor has painted him he Is not
entitled to the support Of the gov
ernor or any other voter, and the
governor would be stultifyinR himself
and going contrary to his ALLEGED
great principles for the people were
he to support the senator. Tie weak
part Of the governors contention Is
in this. that he knows fully that he
is not stating facts when lie makes
all these charges against Senator
Kittredve: that Is doing 1t for no
other a than to try and pref
JUDGE the minds OF the people
against the senator hoping that he
will thereby increase hts own oppor-
tunity to secure their votes. The
governor does not say that it is q
quesli IN Of ability between the men,
for he would. be seriously Inandi-
capped, but 1T is the simple desire to
GUST the senator, from a position in
the senate where he has brought
great credit to the state and to him
self. We confidently believe that tie
people Of South Dakota will not

take years to gain the same positi n.
The June primary will tell the s ory
OF Senator Kittredge's success.

foregoing measures became laws,
and many of them are of vital and
far reaching importance.

Besides these he assisted in OBJ
tanning liberal annual appropriations
for improvement institutions Of the
state; the Indian schools, the Indian
asylum at Canton. the Military Post
at Forte Meade, and the fish hatch
cry at Spearfish, and secured an ap-
preparation for locating agricultural
experimental stations in Fall River
and Butte counties, but the former
for some reason since he has not
been in Washington to look after
them, has been permitted to sleep.
"Mr. Martins most important un-
finished work is the legislation for
the control and regulation of corpo-
rations engaging in interstate COM
merce, and that is likely to be one
of the foremost national policies for
the next decade. He has given the
subject much thought and study and
few men are better equipped than
he to push forward this important
legislation in the interest of the peo-
pie.
aside from the magnificent re-
cord which Mr.. Martin made In con-
gress, proof for which may be found
in the Congressional Record, he is
a man in whom the people have con-
fidence and admire in every way. He
is true to the interests of the people;
a man of high ideals and lofty pur-
poses; a man of most exemplary
character; alert in mind and active
in body; whose highest ambition is
to %honorably and faithfully serve
the people when he is called to pub
lie duty.
South Dakota can do itself no
greater honor than by again return
ing Mr.. Martin to congress-, and no
man could be chosen from within
the state better equipped than he to
render valuable service-siN years

able to a man of Mr.. Martins type,

BANKS MUST PAY
Board of Supervisors Decides to Take
Advantage Of Iowa Law, and Hero
after Banks Will Pay County We
Per Cent on All County Funds.

An important action was taken by
the board Of supervisors Thursday aft
ernoon calling upon the banks of the
county handling county funds, to pay
interest on all county deposits, begin.
ming Jan. l. Thereafter the banks will
pay to the county interest at the rate
Of l " per cent per year on the average
daily balances held in the fourteen diff
ferent repositories.
The action Of the board is justified by
the state law, which makes it optional
with the board Of supervisors of any
county to collect interest on county
deposits. Heretofore the money has
been given into the keeping of the
banks as repositories. In the case OF
the country banks the county has been
aided materially in the collection of
taxes. The new law also gives to the
supervisors the right to loan county
funds to any bank within the state.
Marshall county's average deposit
with the different banks of the county
is about $4,000. At ~ per cent this
amount will turn a revenue into the
county treasury Of S1,125 annually.
