A Good Commissioner

Faulkton Advocate: ID. H. Smith
of Miller, is candidate for renom-
ination for the position of railroad
commissioner. His announcement
appears in this paper. There are
three candidates who have filed their
nominating petition-two stalwarts
and one insurgent candidate. Mr.
Robinson is a deep-died-in-the. wool
democrat but is not out of place on
the insurgent ticket. Hans O..
Wickre. of Day county and d. H.
Smith of Hand county, the present
incumbent are the stalwart candi-
dates. 1t is unfortunate that the
stalwarts should split their vote on
these two candidates which in all
probability will rsult in the nomina-
ton of a democrat on the republican
ticket. We are not acquainted with
any of the candidates except Mr.
Smith. He has made good rail-
road commissioner and we know him
personally to be a man of moral
worth and strict integrity"

Central South Dakota republicans
should certainly record d heavy vote
for Charles H. Burke for congress
next Tuesday. He is a friend to
this locality; he made good in Con-
gress before. and will do so again.
He is located right for this section
of the state, and if he is not nomin-
ated, the great central part of the
state will have no representative in
Congress.

PARTY PRIMARIES
NEXT TUESDAY
First Trial of New Law in Nomin.
ating Candidates

Next Tuesday. June 9th, the vari-
Gus parties of South Dakota will
vote by individual ballot for prefer
ences for party candidates, under
the new primary law, and it should
be the duty of every voter to go to
his polling place and record mis-
choice of his party's candidates to be
placed upon his ticket for election
next fall.
In the state the republican party
has two sets of candidates. put up
by leaders of the two factions seek
ing control of the part. One is
called the stalwart faction led by
Senator Kittredge. who seeks re-
election. The other is called pro-
gressives and is headed by Governor
Crawford, who seeks to succeed
Senator Kittredge.
The leaders and their friends are
having very acrimonious discus
sion over the relative merits of the
two factions, and have become quite
bitter.
The great masses of the party,
however, have declined to take up
this bitterness between the oppon-
ents. and will probably go to the
polls and vote for individuals as they
please.
This condition, so manifest to any
one but the extreme partisans, leads
to the very general belief that some
men from both factions will be nom-
mated. And why not? What's the
use of choice if the voter must
blindly follow the dictum of a few
leaders on either side? One may
have very decided choice and vote
it without calling the other fellow a
horse thief. After June 9th repub-
licans and not factionists will be
needed for success.
In Hand County's primaries re-
publican ticket will be nominated
that will receive the party's support
at the polls, because there has been
no bitter strife here.
Carefully examine the names of
candidates offered, and vote for one
whom you think is the best man for
the office named, regardless of fac
ton.
Consider the candidates standing
in his community. his ability to fill
the office. his knowledge and his ex-
perience.
Perhaps it would be only fair to
also give any man credit for party
work that he has done.
Last, but not least, it behooves re-
publicans to select their strongest
men, those who will make a good
strong race at the polls, because the
opposition will most assuredly take
advantage of any weak nomination
on the republican ticket.

The second breaking" might be
an appropriate title for condition
now manifest everywhere in Central
South Dakota.
More new ground is being plowed
up in Hand county this year than
for over twenty years. This condi-

east of the Missouri river. 1t is
the beginning of development work

ment. According to all past history
the development of this section of
the state will be more rapid during
the next ten wears than during any
other like period of its settlsment.

The PRESS sees no reason why all
republicans of Hand county cannot
cast vote for Dick Smith as the
party's nominee for railroad COM
missioner. Dick is not particularly
in line with either faction. In fact
he might be called "a republican.
He has acceptably served one term.
and under the unwritten law of fair
ness in politics it has been common
custom to extend a second term in
such cases. An x in front of d. H.
Smiths name would be proper for
every Hand county republican voter
