Knut e. jacobson.

At a meeting Of progressive repub-
licans held in this city, with repre-.
sentation from nearly every precinct
In the county, Knut @. Jacobson of
Norway township, was the unani-
nous choice for member of the state
central committee, and in making
the nomination, Hon. A. r. Brown
paid Mr.. Jacobson a high compli-
ment. MI. Brown expressed the
opinion of the meeting when he said
that MI. jacobson represented the
younger element of progressive re-
~publicanism in our state, and that as
a native of Lincoln county, he repre-
sented the best element of u moral
and intellectual manhood. His nom.
ination is a splendid tribute to the
younger element of the party in this
country and in the state, because the
younger men must take up the battle
and carry forward the contest for re.
form under the leadership of Presi.
dent Roosevelt and Governor Craw,
ford. The LEADER congratulates
Mr.. jacobson over his entry into
state polotics and we believe he will
become one of the most poplar leaders
in the party. Canton is just as proud
of Mr.. jacobson as Norway township,
where he was born and where he lives
and Norway township will give him
a unanimous vote at the June pri
mary.

Gov. Crawtord's Popularity.

Madison Outlook: There is every
evidence the progressive republican
cause is growing in strength and favor
all over the state. There is a reason
for this. The present administration
made some pledges to the people when
it asked for their confidence, and 1t
kept those pledges. Voters know
that it took years to rid the state OF
the deplorable conditions that existed
under ring rule, and it is hardly to be
expected that the voters will turn
the government Of the state right
back into the same hands again. 1t
will take more than v~illifcation and
unsupported assertions to convince
the people that they ought to take a
step backward. On the other hand,
they, are going to take another step in
advance and place the representation
of the state in the senate in the hands
of a man whose heart is with the PEG.
pie instead of with the corporate in.
terests.

The well known Grand Island Bust
ness & Normal College Of Grand Is
land, Nebraska, has just announced
that $50 more young men and 250
more young women will be admitted
to the College this year and that no
payment whatever will be required
for school until the pupils
have time to graduate. They will
then be placed in positions in banks
and business offices and allowed to
pay the College a small amount
monthly until the bill is settled.
This certainly is a grand opportunity
and those who are interested should
write for their circulars. This college
has been established twenty years and

stantial schools of it's class in the
United States.

The primary election in South
Dakota on Tuesday last was the
climax to a hotly contested poll
tical battle. Two years ago the
insurgents carried things gener-
ally-our sister state has always
been somewhat erratic political
ly and prone to follow after
false gods and SO the stalwart
element had to do something
this time to retrieve their losses.
This they did splendidly On
Tuesday last, sweeping the sta te
IS to practically every candidate.
The fate of Senator kittredge
alone stands III the balance and
remains undecided, SO far IS
available information goes, a, d
both parties claim the victory.
Whether it be kittredge Craw-
ford, however, this much is now
certain, the victor's majority
will be very small.
