The recent contest between
the stalwart and insurgent fac
fions IN the state was so close
that in q number of instances it
has taken the official vote to
settle the nomination of the can.
didate, While Crawford, the in
surgent candidate for senator,
was elected with about 5000 ma
jority. Burke, one of the stalwatt
candidates for congress, has
been elected by about the same
majority, and the probable cleo
ton of Martin, the other stall.
wart candidate for congress
over Hall, the insurgent, is indi'
Gated, but the vote is so close
that it will need the official tally
from the last county to deter
mine the result conclusively.
The stalwarts also elect their
man for state treasurer, George
johnson beating the present
state treasurer for something
like 5000. The vote between
Wesley and Browne for governor
was very close, the former win
ming by probably less than 1000.
Or some of the other state OFF,
GERS the vote was so close that it
will require the official vote to
determine to q certainty who is
ahead.

The Milbank friends of the

Vile were startled to learn last
Monday, that the family had
been increased by addition OF
three little daughters. Once be-

Now that The senatorial con.
test is over the following tribute
to Senator Kittredge in q St.
Paul Pioneer Press editorial is
worthy of perusal as it can no,
be charged that it is electioneer.
ing thunder:
1.-THE returns Of the primary
election held 10 South Dakota in.
dictate that A. B. Kittredge is to
be succeeded in the senate by
Gov. C0e I. Crawford. The con.
test was q bitter one, and the
margin of the victor is not large,
but it seems to be sufficient.
The South Dakota republicans,o of
course, have q right to indulge
in their family jars in any way
that suits them, but they cannot
blsme their neighbors for becom-
ing interested when q seat in the
United htates senate is at stake.
Senator Kittredge comes from
South Dakota, but he is q United
States senator, and Minnesota,
with the other states, regrets
losing the services Of one go able.
"Without meaning any dispar.
agement to Gov. Crawford. it
seems too bad that South Da-
kota failed to return Senator
Kittredge. He is not spectacular
nor demagogic, but he possesses
the sound qualities Of stateman-
ship that win no. only for his
own state, but for the country.
He does not make much fuss nor
try to get into the limlight, but
he does things. He gets results.
Senator Kistredge has rendered
conspicuous service to the whole
country since he has been in
Washington. His breadth Of
view and clean-cut tactics have
secured for him many admirers.
He has demonstrated by his
work on the interoceanic canal
COMMITTEES and in connection with
other important assignment that
he 10 of the broed-gauge sort and
no mere politician. Senator Kilt.
redge not only has won the re-
spect Of the people Of the nation
and added to the prestige Of his
state. but he is . close personal
friend Of Secretary Taft, who
undoubtedly will be the next
chief executive. The senator
would have been IN the confiden.
&c Of the next president and one
Of the important factors in the
administration. councils. He
will be missed by the republican
leaders, and South Dakota can
hardly afford to miss the SER
vices of so able q representative.
"Seuator Kittreige has de.
monstrated his worth, and has
the added advantage of wide &C.
quaintauce and friendship among
public men, which should make
particularly effective-for it
always is an advantage to have
friends at court. Gov. Crawford
may prove the equal or superior
OF Senator Kittredge. If he
does, the rest of the country will
be sorry the laws are such that
there cannot be three senators

LAST RITES FOR CLINTON.

tomb not fifty feet from the spot on
which lie stood when he was fnaug-
urated as the first governor of New
York. the body Of George Clinton. one
OF the greatest OF the statesmen Of the
Republics early days. has been finally
laid to sleep. Removed from the grave
in the national capital, where the re-
mains have rested since Cltnton's
death in 1912. the body was accorded
second great civic and military
burial here. Kingston was the state
capital of New York when Clinton
assumed the reins OF government. and
1t was here that he began the brilliant
political career that ended while he
was OCCUPYING the vice presidential
chair.
Tolay's ceremonies also marked the
250th Anniversary of the founding OF
Kingston and attracted thousands OF
former residents from other ties and
states. A great civic parade speech
making and other features were In
clndet in the programme whereby
Kingston celebrated its natal day and
pnid honor to its most famous citizen.
While today's ceremonies were i'm
pressive. they were no more SO than
ut the first burial OF Clinton In Wash
lngton, IN account of which has been
secured from newspaper of that day.
The description of this first rite Is
rs follows:
1.-THE mortal remains Of the illustri-
Els Vice President, George Clinton.
were Inferred In the buryInG ground
near the Navy Yard. in the presence
of concnMrse greater than ever seen
In the Nations Capitol. Shops were

one condition. however, In which sre-
clal attention should be given. Clay
roads under persistent draggings FREE
Iqucntly become too high in the center.
This may be corrected by dragging
the earth towards the center of the,
ROAD twice. and away from it once.
THERE'S no question as to the econ
omy OF this road-making implement
either In first cost or In operation. In
six counties In Kansas. in 1906 the
cost OF maintaining ordinary earth
roads. without the aid OF the split
log drag, averaged s4o.5O "A mile.
These figures we're furnished by Pro-
fessor w. C. Hnad, OF the University
OF Kansas, who secured them from
official records OF the counties.

sent an agent to secure information

 The preliminary survey of the All American route has been completed as far as the desert, and it is under stood that the grades over this route compare favorable with those of the route which would take the railroad down through Q portion of Mexican territory, although the American route is two miles longer. The line through Mexico is undesirable for the reason that it would involve several cross ings of the border, with custom in spection at each crossing,

A half hundred or more of Fl Cen tro folk experienced a first class pan ic, Wednesday night, when films of a moving picture show being given in Eagles hall took fire and were com pleteIy destroyed.
 Earl Forester, an eleven-year old lad, is the only person who was in jured in the resultant panic, and this vas due to his startling feat of jump ing out of one of the upper front win dOWs to the cement pavement, four teen feet below.
 Directly beneath the window is an electric sign, and the boy evidently
 truck this, receiving a cut on his forehead, and breaking his fall to some extent He landed on his feet on the cement sidewalk, and had the bones of both ankles injured, besides sustaining severe bruises. He was taken to Dunaway's drug store for emergency treatment and later was sent to his home. One of the show men had his hands and face scOrched: by the burning films.
