The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1908-04-17

Satisfied that they we're able to
cut down the very large majority
in the Huron convention that the
insurgents had in the Sioux Fails
convention two years ago. the stall
warts went home from Huron with q
much more happy air than one would
suppose they. :.could when they were
IGNORED and placed out beyond the
pale Of recognition In a republican
convention. The insurgents carried
things with a high hand for y body
Of nep who had but q real maJority
Of thirtv-nine. counting out the five
votes from SPHINX county. which
absolutely belonged to the stalwsrts.
The Sphinx county insurgents after
agreeing..to dividing up the deleva.
tion violated their word aud took the
entire delegation OF ten men. whom
they voted solid. The stalwarts left
the hall with q grim determination
to make the victory absolutely cons
plete In the June primaries. The
state will he organized as it was
never organized before and the pres
tige which the insurgents feel that
they secured with their bare II ajority
will be swept into a dismal failure

The insurgents have started out to
make capital OF the alleged fact that
at the Huron convention the stall
wart voted for the entire set Of rtso-
luton, which contained an endorse-
ment OF Governor Crawford's wise
and et1cient administration. The in
sulgents claim that with snrh an
endo,s ment the stalwarts have
reason for further opposing the can
di.lacy of the governor. We're the
statement true such might be the
situation. bit the fact Is, such Is
not the case. The insurgent news
papers published it for a fact that
the %stalwarts votei for all the
resolutions except the endorsement
OF C%rawford's candidacy for United
States senator, aud implying that
they voted for tile endorsement Of
his administration. 1t was stated in
the report o. tile Sioux CITY Journal,
and all other unbiased papers, that
the res buttons we're adopted section
by sectirn, and that when the
election relating to C%ra~fori's adj
ministrution was rea thu full vote
Of the st l.arts was recorded against
1t. while the insurgents voted for
1t. Pc haps the in gents figure
that they have secured something ON
tn" stalaa,,s by making snth a false
stat N MT aid permitting 1t to go
ont fan the mfusnce that it might
bring 10 bear on tn future situation.

The Aberdeen American has served
notice on the men who are at the
head of the state educational insti-
buttons that when they become
politically active in behalf of Senator
Kitt1edge or the staluart faction
that their heads are liable to drop
of through means of the official axe
In the hands of the governo.. The
American wants these gentlemen to
understand that they have been left
in their positions by reason of the
,kindliness of the governor and for
that reason they are not to be per-
mitted to do anything in the politi-
cal line. The superstition is that
the governor left these men in their
positions because of their eminent
fitness for the work in which they
are engaged and that better men
could not be found to do the work.
We DO not understand that tie
governor extracted any such IL
promise from these gentlemen that
they we're to take no part in the
political campaign, and it j., very
likely that would not, inasmurh as
they have plenty of work 10 do in
managing the state institutions But
the car proposes to foreslali any
! attempt on their part to render aid
to Senator Kittredge or any ne al er
OF the stalwart faction who is a
candidate for office. This trf edom
of political action is taken with
much seriousness on the part OF the
governor and he..stands with his axe
in hand ready to let 1t fall OH the
victim Who makes a move that is
not regarded as one favoring the
state administration.

There is a great prohibition senti
ment sw%eeoing'over the MIDI e wes-
tern states that is tar reaching. as
was demonstrated by the elections in
those states on Tuesday. In Illinois
i'm the extreme southern part, there
we're a dozen counties which went
against license. These counties have
for a population mostly miners and
a class that will drink as qnlck as
any one else, and it is something of
a marvellous change mat these
counties could be lined ny az .iust
license. Not only in Illinoii hut in
many OF the other states sulrs un 'iug
it was the same thing accotDpll: lied.

hen the republican national con-
vention meets in Chicago, the vote
of South Dakota will be cast for
Secretary Taft for the nomination of
president. The stalwarts hnned to
be able to send it's delegation TO
Chicago to perform that function but
so long as this state gives it's vote
for the secretary it is better than if
it was turned over to somebody else.
But the insurgent republicans who
are going to Chicago ale not the ones
who are responsible for South Dakota
sending its vote to Secretary TAFT.
When Senator Kittredge two years
ago this summer invited the secre-
tary to South Dakota 1T was amusing
to hear the comments of the insur-
gent press in their attacks ON the
secretary, simply because he was
a friend Of Senator Kittredge, and
also the press sought to work up some
very hard feelings over the manner
in which Governor Crawford and a
few other state officers we're treated
by the Sioux Falls committee. The
insurgents tried every way on earth
to stem the tide toward Secretary
Taft, but 1t was Of no avail. They
wanted to show that Senator Kit
tredge could not land this state for
his friend, Notwithstanding the fact
that the insurgents were urging
President RooseveIt's candidacy. and
the secretary had the endorsement
of the president. 1t has come to
light, however that the insurgents
commenced to see the handwriting
on the wall and almost at the last
moment they began to line up for
che secretary. Not, however, until
the stalwarts met in Mitchell late In
January and put their seal Of approx.
a! in an official way on the candidacy
of Secretary Taft. A day later the
state central committee, which Is
composed Of a majority of the insur'
gents in this state, met at HuroL
and they at once got busy and Gu
dorsed the candidacy Of the secre'
tary. Under all the circumstan .es
it does not appear that the insur'
gents are particularly violent In theil
support of Mr.. Taft, but they az.
tied up and will have to support lin
through the convention. And wht
was responsible for the state goinl
to Mr.. Taft? Senator Kittredge !.
entitled to that distinction, ant
hard as 1t may seem, the victory
belongs to Senator Kittredge, ant
when the insurgents say that tn,
stalwarts we're . mot victorious in th,
trst campaign they are losing sigh
OF the main issue. Senator Kittredg,
had his way and the state Of Soutt
Dakota is for Secretary Taft.

We wonder ho s..long the enthusi:s SIN
Of the democrats in this state " u
last? When they were in Mitche !
at the convention they nearly raised
the roof at the mention Of Their
presidential and glbernatorial canoi-
dates, while the same kind of a dem
unstration was manifested at the
mention OF Senator Pettrsrew's
name. For tile molnent and the
occasion, the democrats sho,ld a
great spirit OF work, but with the
usual republican majority staring
them in the face. the future does
not look so hopeful in the o sober
moments uf reflection.

The Vermillion Republican is a
generous newspaper toward the in
surgent faction. That faction has
no newspaper in Vermillion Which
espouses the cause of the state adj
ministration, and the Republican
has opened it's columns to the insur-
gents for the purpose Of rsfuIing
stalwart information concerning the
state administration. The Republic
can wants to be fair--intensely so.
That is drawing pretty Strong on
the patriotism Of a republican news
paper, but the Vermillion paper has
SO much generosity in its makeup
that it could not deny the request Of
its opponents.
