ENTHUSIASTIC
Hundreds Come From All Parts O
the State to Attend the Roose.
velt-Taft Meeting.

Mitchell was filed Wednesday with
the most enthusiastic lot of stalwart
republicans that have ever assembled
liz the state. and the enthusiasm
went to the highest when Senator
Kittredee reached the city last even
ing from Washington, and he was at
once besieged bv hundreds of good
republicans who we're earnest in
their efforts and desire to assure the
senator that he had their warmest
support. The biggest delegation to
come from any II locality was from
the Black Hills country, when sixty
men anne in from every county, of
the hills. Many of the olatimers
were in the party, headed py ex-Con-
gresham Martin, Captain Seth
Bullock, Kirk 6. Phillips and others.
Aberdeen sent in a delegation of
twelve, WATERFOWL has rs manv.
Sioux Falls came in this morning
with a delegation OF $50 in ii special
train ove the Omaha road. ann
with the arrival Of other trains
during the day an immense gAtA.er-
ing of stalwarts-was noticeable.
The coming Of the Sioux rails
del cation and those who were taken
on between Mitchell and Sioux Fall ,
added to tue already large crowd in
the city. The Sioux Falls people
came in On a special train over The
Omaha road, and they were met at
thu train by many Of the delegates
alraa''y in the City. With the Uni-
versity band at the head of the pro-
cession they marched down through
Mdln stsec5 at TIE noon hour aud
the parade was over three blocks
long. 1t was Il splendid delegation
from Sioux Falls and the surround
ing towns. 1t is estimated that fully
1000 stalwart supporters have reached
the CITY to attend the big meeting of
the Roosevelt Taft club. Z
There will be no effort made to
take official action on tie selection of
candidates for the stale ticket Of the
s%talwarts. Ii had been gwen out
that this vas TO be done at this
meeting, but it was not called for any
such purpose and Senator Kittre tge
at once put his stamp of disapprovul
for anything Of that character to be
done at the Roosevelt-Taft assem-
blage. The candidates on the stall
wart ticket will announce themselves
in due time without embarrassing
the object of the meeting in Mitchell.
After his Mitchell speech Senator
Kittredge will cover many roints in
the slate, and il he fills all the appli.
cations which have been filed with
him since his arrival in the city be
will speak every night until the
middle Of the summer. In his
speeches in the state, taking his
Mitchell speech as a criterion, he
will not make a very strong criticism
Of bis opponents in the state, but
will adhere to strong facts with a
clear presentation Of bis connection
with the railroads and trusts and cor.
porations, exploding the theories of
his opponents completely.

CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES.

Democratic Party Cannot Claim Un-
sullied Virtue as to Source Of Its
Revenues.
(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
Speech.)
"Mr. Bryan also has much to say
with regard to corrupt practices and
campaign expenditures. But he omits
to give due credit to the Republican
party for what it has accomplished
with regard to these important reforms,
an accomplishment the more notswor-
thy in the light of Mr.. Bryan's reiter-
ated criticisms of contributions to Re
publican campaign funds. In the State
OF New York a Republican Legislature
In 1906 passed statute prohibiting
corporations from making any political
contributions directly or indirectly, and
providing that officers, directors or
stockholders participating in or con-
senting to the violation OF the law
should be guilty OF criminal offense.
And knew OF no more drastic statute
In this country with regard TO the pub
licity of campaign contributions and
for the prevention OF corrupt practices
than that passed in New York under
Republican auspices. These were not
promises of an opposition party seek
ing power but enactments by party
In power securing genuine reforms.
Proper recognition must, OF course. be
given to the patriotic Democrats who
supported these reforms, but they were
enacted by Republican administra-
ton. Congress has also legislated
against political contributions by cor
porations. Purity of elections and free
opportunity for the interrupted express
sion Of the popular will lie at the foun-
dation OF every reform and cannot be
too carefully safeguarded. And 'there
should be federal legislation securing
proper publicity of and accounting for
campaign contributions In connection
with federal elections. But it must
fairly be recognized that the skirts OF
neither party have been clean. II we
search Mr.. Bryan's following we shall
find not a few who have slnned. and
also those who, II we may judge frsm
their local activities. are still unrepent-
ant The Democratic party cannot
claim unsulIied virtue either with re-
gard TO the source Of its revenues o.
its readiness to receive thsm.'

PARTY OF prlroRMAcI.
Republican Organization Fosters All
Policies Tending to Make the
Country Great and
prosnerouR
Prosperous.

IIOnltAOub
The Republican is a party or action.
Ii rests upon what IL has done, and
not upon what il possibly may do in
the future. 1t has fostered everything
that has tended to make the country
great and prosperous. 1t has moved
with the people. 1t has kept abreast
Of the times. II has ever stood ready
to modify an old policy or to adopt n
new one when the business interests OF
the country have needed the modifica-
ton or the change. 1t has protected
American industries. II has protected
American labor by stringent immigra-
ton laws. 1t protected the credit and
business stability Of the country by
prompt declaring in favor Of gold
standard, and writing il In the stat
utes. When the time came Ii prompt
ly seized upon the time and the OPP
portunity to begin the speedy construc-
tlon of the great isthmian canal. 1t
has never hesitated TO assume a re-
bponsibility. When the cruelties In
Cuba threatened the interests Of Amer
lea the Republican party resolved to
put an end TO those cruelties. When
trusts sprang up II enacted 9 law to
curb and control those trusts. When
commerce was at the mercy Of the
railroads. IL provided for commission
to regulate them. When shippers were
oppressed by transportation companies
it promptly enacted rate law. 1t has
met every emergency in war or peace,
met II in a wise, prudent and states
manlike manner. 1t is progressive when
progressiveness means upbullding. 1t
Is conservative when conservatism
means the maintenance OF peace, order
and prosperity. 1t has been prompt
without undue haste. Peace and pros
perlty at home-honor and prospect
abroad has been, is now, and always
will be its motto.-Republican National
Platform.
