has been made by a few bosses OF
such league, who are evidently not
working for true American political
principles. but with a view nY pro-
noting their own selfish interests,
for political advancement and
pecuniary profit. We differ M U
political opinions, and in our
religious views, and so VIZ differ in
our political choice OF candidates for
office, and any attempt of any So
called LEAGUE to round us up in
q grand body and vote US as a
herd, as followers of a few captain
bosses. is nefarious, and un-Ameri-
can, and we rebel against any such
political maneuvering. and such
action will be by the undersigned
Scanuinavians Iebuked by our
votes"
You will find this same indepen-
dence Of thought among Scandina-
vians all over the state and there is
no question but what other ~cu,lnties
will take the same lead that the
Union county men have stated.

That Governor Crawford is playing
to both sides of the house IN this
campaign is pretty we'll demonstrated
in two speeches that he recently
made-one at Pierre and the other
at Brookings. at Pierre Charles
Burke is a candidate for the nomin-
alton OF congressman, and in the
course of his speech at Pierre, the
governor made the folio wing state
ment concerning .tbe candidacy Of
Mr.. Burk with reference to endorsing
him at the March primary:
"Mr Bu1ke's candidacy for con-
greSs is In no affected by the
MARCH, primaries. His friends here
ate trying to secure the delegation
from Hughes county on the theory
that il he loses his home county In
March he can't expect to be non,in-
ated In June, but I say to you 1T
makes no difference whatever. Mr..
Burke's candidacy for congress is not
IL any manner connected with the
March primaries"
Up In Brookings county Governor
Crawford has "a different idea as to
do the Importance Of the March
primary. In Brookings Philo Hall
is q candidate for denomination on
the insurRent ticket and this is the
way In which the governor reverses
himself on this point in referring to
the candidacy Of Congressman Halls.
sit Is important that you do not
let this county send a stalwart dele
cation to the Huron convention.
Your congresman, Mr.. Hall, Is
vitality concerned 10 the March pri-
maries; II be fails to carry Brookinps
county 1t will be beralded ablo4d
that Hall has lost his own county
and 1t will have a bad effect OH his
candidacy for renomination.n
The governor, 1t seems, can change
his opinions to fit the situation
wherever he goes, but it does o
represent a very dignified phase in a
mans character who is aspiring 10 "a
