The strongest argument for re-
tanning the republican county officers
in their positions and of electing re-
publicans to the positions to be "a
Gated is the fact that these men have
given service to the public that has
been first class in every particular.
They are men who, in the main,
have lived in Dawson county for a
great many years, and they have
come to be known for their moral
worth and their honesty. From the
top of the ticket down to the bottom
there is not a candidate but who is
entitled to the full support of every
republican in the county, and be it
understood that there is not a demo-
crat who can be elected without the
aid of republican votes. This is not
the year for attempting ito draw
away from party lines. Some may
have a tendency to do SO, but it is
an Injustice to the candidates on the
ticket who are working for the
united vote of the party. If there

Over in Michigan the publicity
campaign is worked on a different
basis. Mr.. bryan lays great stress
on the fact that every dollar con
tributed to his campaign will be CIV
en- full publicity before the election.
The chairman Of the committee in
Michigan states in a cirsular letter
that money contributed for the am
paign in that state will be given
publicity except when otherwise
stipulated" Evidently there is a
string on this publicity business of
NIT. Bryan's. A trust magnate in
a4lch.gan can turn over a large sum
of money to Mr.. Bryan's campaign
fund, and give the word that, his
name must not be published. That's
about as much sincerity as is shown
by the democratic candidate.

The press correspondents who
Travelled with Judge Taft through
South Dakota each took a snot at
the political conditions as exist in
the republican party. While pass
ing through the state they were sur
rounded by an atmosphere that
must have given them the right
kind of a bunch as to the way things
stand, but many of the co%rrespon-
dents spoke of the relations being
strained to a considerable degree.
They agreed that the republicans
Of the state would stand by Judge
Taft all right but when it comes to
the state and county tickets they
admitted that knives would be un-
sheathed and the fignL Of the prim-
airy would be continued. We are
inclined to tie belief that the cor
respondents did not use their hunch
to the best advantage, that they
jumped at a conclusion that the
breach could not possibly be healed
between the factions. The senti-
ment over the state, we believe,
dos not tend in that direction.

Washington information is to the
effect that there is a possibility that
President Roosevelt will go on the
stump during the present month for
the purpose of making Judge Taft's
campaign a dead sure thing. 1t is
not so much to elect Taft to the pres
idency as it is a desire of the presi-
dent to e that his administration
policies are upheld by the people.
lhe election of Bryan would mean
that the people did not support the
president in doing what has been
demanded of a president ALI these
years. A decision as to the presi-
dents intentions will be announced
in a few days.

In his speeches throughout

In his speeches throughout the
country Judge Taft is making q
strong impression by his logic and
his comparisons concerning the pos
sibilities Of a change in the admin
istration of affairs. When he spoke
in Mitchell this week, he took up
this idea Of wanting a change, and
referred to Mr.. Bryan's rapidity of
curing the ills of the country. Judge
1aft said that when a person was
sick with typhoid fever that it gen.
orally took a good physician from
two to three weeks to break up the
run of the fever, but according to
the ideas of Mr.. Bryan he would
promise to cure the patent over
night. Mr.. Taft did not think thai
the democratic gentleman could ac-
complish such a rapid cure, and he
thought that the patient would want
to change doctors pretty quick. 1t
is this quick change Of ideas that
Mr.. Bryan has adopted that has
caused a questioning of the people
if he is really the right sort of a
man to occupy the presidential chair
There is no denying the fact that for
the past ten years there has been
good times throughout the coun.
try. The business man has prosper.
eo and so has tho laboring man.
! Under those conditions there does
not seem to be any reason apparent
why Mr.. Bryan should be made pres.
ident. The question has arisen as
to the possibilities of democratic sue.
cess and what the democrats would
do according to their past record
Judge Taft outlined to a large ex.
tent the condition of the country un.
der democratic rule when the Cor.
man-Wilson tariff law was in effect
and for which Mr.. Bryan stood spon.
sor. Farmers were getting SO cents
a bushel for wheat, 21 cents a bushel
for corn; oats, barley and rye were
proportionately low, and the judge
naivelY asked if the farmers of this
country wanted to go back to the
same basis once more. That seems
to be the condition to which Mr.
bryan invites the farmers of the
country to return. In view of the
past it is not a very encouraging
prospect to ak the farmers of the
country to come to the support OF
the democratic candidate, and there
is small probability that they will &C
so. They actually cannot afford tt
take the chance. they have person:
ally met Judge Taft; have heard hin
express his ideas on matters relating
to the success of the farmer and the
laborer. and they can feel assured
and doubly so. that they will he vel

ton, N. j., just before entering New
York, he paved the way for smooth
sailing through that state by making
another declaration on the govern
ment ownership of railroads by say
ing: Il do not desire government
ownership. l hope that the railways
will permit regulation and thus make
ownership unnecessary" There is
an absolute and complete withdrawal
of Mr.. Bryan's attitude on the prop
osition which he claimed he has Civ
en- fourteen years of study upon.
That is the way In which he is stand
ing on his record as a public man.
The fact is he has no record
upon which to stand as a presi-
dental candidate. He has burr
ed his bridges behind him b7
dropping the silver question, by hav-
ing nothing more to do with imper-
ialism, etc, and he has done all this
for the sole purpose of once more
aspiring to the presidency, and he
has had the effrontery to ask the
people to forget all the things of the
past and take him to their hearts
once more. He is resorting to trad
ing upon the feelings and passions
of the populace to make them be-
lieye that he is the only Moses that
can lead his people out into the sun
shine that is created by the Bryan
democratic party-for that is what
it is this year and nothing more. The
whole party was made subservient
to the will of Mr.. Bryan at Denver,
with a few concessions on his part
which would appear to be too dis
turbing to the business of the coun-
try.
The question naturally arises in
the minds of the people, "for what
does Mr.. Bryan stand?" The main
thing in his speeches today do not
indicate that he is standing for any
thing in particular other than to
make attacks upon the republican
candidate, without advancing to any
great degree what the democratic
party is standing for. If he can
befog the minds of the people by
throwing up a cloud of dust in front
of the advancing host of Taft sup
borters, Mr.. Bryan thinks that half
his campaign is won. This dust is
clearing away as the day approaches
for the casting of the ballots, and we
are strongly inclined to the belief
that again and for the third and de-
cisive time he will be in the minor
ity. The democratic leaders place
South Dakota in the doubtful states,
that there is a strong possibility
that Bryan will carry 1t. 1t is a re-
Election on the intelligence of the
people of this state to say that South
Dakota will cast its vote for Bryan
1t will not do 1t. The doubtful ter
ritory is fast falling from the Bryan
camp into the Taft headquarters.
That a 10000 majority for Judge
Taft is a sure thing is the expression
Of the leaders Of the republican
party Of the state.

STANDING ON HIS RECORD,

William Jennings Bryan says that
he is standing on his record. The
republican speakers insist that the
gentleman is running away from his
record and the words which fall
from the mouth of the democratic
leader abundantly prove the conten-
ton OF the republican speakers.
In the fall Of 1906 Mr.. Bryan re-
turned from a trip over the foreign
countries. and the presumption was
that he had acquired an immense
amount Of information and was
ready now to step into the presi-
Dental chair. It was said that he
had returned home possessed of
ideas that YER fitting for a presi-
dental leader. and In the words Of
Judge Taft during his speech in Nit
chell. ut was acknowledged that
NJ. Bryan had come home safe and
sane. and that the gentleman at once
commenced to demonstrate that he
was not" In two short years Mr..
Bryan has absolutely turned on his
own words and completely refuted
his position on q question that is
Of vital importance to this country.
On Aug, so. 1906, Mr.. Bryan de-
liyered himself Of a noteworthy
speech In Madison Square, New York,
and the presumption was that the
speech would be the keynote to his
future suces He tackled the ques-
ton of government ownership OF
railroads, and this is what he said:
81 do not know whether a majority
Of the members Of the party to which
u belong believe in the government
ownership OF railroads., but my
theory is that no man can call a
mass meeting to decide what he him
self shall think. l have reached the
conclusion that there will be no per-
ceptible relief on the railroad ques-
ton from discrimination between in
dividuals and between places, and
from extortionate rates, until the
railroads are the property of the
government, and operated by the
government in the interest of the
people"
That sounded all very we'll and
Mr. Bryan thought that it would
catch the sentiment of the country.
Instead It fell In the democratic
camp like q bomb in the midst OF
Russian royalty. It did. not create
the applause that he expected. After
the first wave swept over the coun-
try when he had made his wonderful
declaration, Bryan commenced to
falter In his belief and tried to hedge
but he was held up to the rack and
forced to either acknowledge that
he was right or he was wrong. II
seems that he commenced to find
loop holes through which to return
from that position when the tempe,
Of the people, and particularly the
leaders Of the democratic party be
gan to be revealed in strong opposi.
ton to his attitude of government
ownership of railroads.
Mr.. Bryan had his eye on a third
nomination. and he knew that he
must trim his sails to popular eprro
val, and consequently when he re
turned I the enemy's country on {
political mission he swept away tho
sSfSrrfers that he had raised when he
lied to demonstrate that he was safe
