Crawford UnhOrses Kittredge.

Minneapolis Journal: The South
Dakota republican primary appears to
have gone against Senator <ittrcdge
and in favor of Crawford and the in
surgent state ticket. The results on
congressman are In doubt, with the
chances favoring tie stalwart candi-
dates, Burke and Martin. The result
was fOrshadOwed in the earlier pri-
mary for national delegates, where the
stalwartS lost the battle, just as Cum
Minis preliminary defeat made proba-
BILE the success of Allison in the later
senatorial contest in Iowa.
The South Dakota primary was a
square fight between the reactionary
and progressive sections of the repub-
lican party in the state. If the success
of Crawford means anything, it means
that he will go to the senate as a rep
! resentative of the RooSe velt policies,
plus tariff reform and progressive leg
iSlation.
Kittredge will have to charge his de-
feat largely to his habit Of failing to
take the public into his confidence. He
has been a good deal Of boss in
South Dakota politics for good many
years. He has dominated the party
and controlled it's affairs without al
ways pausing to ascertain whether
what he advised was fully approved by
the rank and file. The rank and file
seem to have got tired of that way of
doing things at last. At any rate,
Crawford has pursued a different pol
icy, and his game, so to speak. has
been to play his cards face up. Wheth-
er he will succeed in serving the pub
lie more satisfactorily than the leader
of the opposition, remains to be seen.
He is not without ardent critics, who
will refuse to give him credit for any
improvement over the present regime
until he demonstrates their mistake.

Alter The Battle.

Yankton Press and Dakotan: The
people of South Dakota took a long
step in the right direction when they
defeated the reactionary faction of the
republican party at the polls yesterday.
The victory gained in 1906, though in
|dispensable to ultimate success, was
not complete and needed to be supple
mented by this latest triumph to yield
it's best results. The outcome proves
again that Lincoln's estimate of the
capacity of the people for self-govern-
ment was correct-it has been plainly
demonstrated in this contest. They
have discerned the vital points of the
arguments, and their intelligent com
mon sense guided them to a correct
decision.
This triumph we believe will be OF
benefit to the state in more ways than
simply as political victory. 1t will
unite the people in matters of great
public interest that will have a potent
influence upon the prosperity and de-
velopment of the material interests OF
the state. The intelligence of this vic.
tory will be welcomed at the White
House as an endorsement of the ad
ministration, and wherever in the un
ion the Roosevelt policies are sus
tanned, the intelligence of this South
Dakota triumph will be welcomed with
sincere rejoicing. To measure what
has been gained by this triumph, imag
inc if you can what would have beer
lost by defeat.
