are all interested and should join in

success.
One of the principal requisites is
the number and quality of exhibits

Through the instrumentality OF

Through the instrumentality of
the republican newspapers of the
country there does not seem to be
any chance for william Jennings
Bryan to retire to private life. 1t is
Al fact without question that after
the second defeat of Mr.. Bryan he
would have dropped out of national
prominence and the republican pa
pers of the country had let him alone.
Mr.. Bryan, however. has the faculty
of talking for the press. and even
a defeated presidential candidate
who has a disposition to talk will be
listened to by the newspaper writer's.
Four years ago when Judge Parker
was defeated for the presidency that
was practically the end Of him. He
went into retirement of his own Volt
ton. He did not, after the elect
ion. attempt to explain the cause Of
his defeat and commence to lay
plans for another nomination.. He
has been heard of in distinguished
law cases, perhaps, but in a national
political sense Judge Parker has
been very quiet. Not so with Mr..
Bryan. however. After the defeat
in one campaign he commences to
lay the foundation for another. and

In another month the state legis-
lature will meet for the passage of
laws, and doing something for the
benefit of the people of this state.
The republicans will have absolute
control of the legislature and what
is done, good or bad, the will have
to stand responsible for. There is
a pretty thorough understanding as
to what party measures will be pre-
sented in the line of reform, and it
is estimated that the railroads and
other corporations of the state will
be taken in hand for some legisla-
ton looking toward a reduction in
their charges to the general public.

them the people we're not slow to re-
cognixe the honesty OF Mr.. Vessey's
statements. In commenting on this
feature Of the campaign and what is
to be expected OF Governor-Elect
Wesley in the matter Of handling the
states business, the Sioux Falls Ar
gus-Leader has the following timely
article:
Everybody must admire the man
" poeition taken BY Senator Vessey
n his campaign for the governor
ship. In I'll Of his speeches during
thu campaign. Senator yessey ad-
United that the cost Of State govern
ment has Increased. he pointed out
very clearly the reason for it, and
10 frankly told the voters that he
.could make no honest promise of re-
ducsd taxes. He told the people that
while promises Of the sort might be
made. It would not be possible to
redeem those promises without Grip
ping the state educational and penal
and charitable institutions Of South
Dakota, and that II this was to be
done, he did not care to be the gov
ernor while It was being done.
In this Senator Vessey was Who'll
~ right. The natural cost OF main
tanning the State institutions is In
creasing from year to year. New
buildings must be constructed, new
expenditures must BIZ met and the
people must pay the cost. and the
hne majority secured by Senator Yes
sey, under the very peculiar condi-
lions under which he made the race.
must be accepted as an endorsement
BY the people Of the position he took.
Thus Senator vessey goes into the
governors chair absolutely foot
loose IN this respect. He has made no
pledges Of economy. except the
pledge that every dollar appropriated
should be honestly spent. It will be
q long time before another campaign
II made on the governorship on the
theory Of q tight policy because
the tax payers Of South Dakota are
not OF that sort, and because all they
ask Is that good business judgment
and honesty shall be used in the ex.
penditure Of the public funds.
Senator Wesley has another good
chance ahead Of him. 1t is generally
expected OF him that he will be Gov.
ernor, and will not be under the die.
tation Of the factional bosses who
assisted In his nomination. Thi,
means that az governor he will re.
cognixe all republicans. no matter
what their factional alignments be

he will do this or not remains to bt
