Nd that 1t was his object to visit

The insurgents are shown. a
disposition to be exceedingly good,
after they have been brought TO
account by the stalwart faction.
Long after attention had been called
TO the action OF the state treasurer
in taking the interest money on the
state funds, which amounted to
about $40, 900 per year, MIR. Cassill
and the Sioux Falls Press saw the
error they had committed, and the
treasurer acknowledged the wrong
doing when the Press stated that
hereafter Mr.. Cassill II elected to his
old position would turn the interest
on the state funds back into the
treasury. Caught with the goods on
them 1t was a mighty poor showing
for the reform administration to
have to yield to the demands OF the
stalwarts. How far into the admin
%istration this same graft extends has
not been fully discovered, but it is
coming out day by day, and now the
state superintendent OF public in
struction has Offered another oppor-
tunity for the reform to be carried
on by the purchase Of an automobile
with the money belonging to the
taxpayers of South Dakota. Mr..
Ustrud has about as much need for a
automobile as he has for a lack
rabbit, but he ha6 the surplus in the
educational fund to be used as he
saw Mt ana SO he thought he would
buy an automobile. 1t Is an extra
want use to which the money of the
taxpayers is put. With themselves
in power the insurgents seem to he
running wildly about in their efforts
to get at the money of the state
in some shape or sother, and they
seem to be able to fnd the avenues
for spending the cash or putting 1t
away In their socks. All Of this is
what the republican party Of South
Dakota has brought on themselves to
satisfy the ambition of Mr.. Lra~f ford
to become the governor and then
attempt to step into the shoes of a
man like Senator KittredQe. 1t
seems absurd that the republicans
would give the question any serious
consideration. There are those who
decline to see thirgs Just as they are.
and it does not require any great
amount of demonstrating to show
the absolute truth of the charges
made against the insurgent IA, tion.

by Governor Crawford to deprive
Senator Kittredge of his seat in the
senate of the United States. Much
of the same methods have been
adopted In both states, and we are
Inclined to the opinion that the
result in Iowa will have a beneficial
influence on the question at the
South Dakota primary :lext Tuesday.
The people Of Iowa said that they
preferred to keep an experienced mar
In the senate, rather than to indulge
IN an experiment by sending Cover
nor Cummins. So 1t is in South
Dakota. Senator Kittredge has had
six years Of experience In the
senate, has a high standing among
the men who do things in the upper
branch of congress and is in a posi-
tion to do things for the state and
country at large that Crawford could
not possibly attain in twice as many
years. Senator Kittredge's real
worth is now a settled fact among
the people Of this state and at the
primary next Tuesday he will receive
an endorsement for senator that will
be sufficiently strong as 10 retain
him in the service Of the public as
United State senator.

tredxe is opposed to the cheapeniug
OF railroad passenger rates. Here is
bis statement, and 1t far surpasses
anything accomplished by Mr.. Craw-
ford and his legislature:
"Under the existing conditions to-
day. a man who has fifty dollars may
buy a two thousand mileage book,
and when the covers are empty he
may secure a return of g. 50. Iknow
no reason why a man who cannot
afford to put up with the railroad
company fifty dollars, or even ten
dollars for q five hundred mileage
book. is not entitled to ride as
cheaply as the ma who can afford
to buy a two thousand mileage
book. Every citizen should be
allowed to ride upon the railroad
trains at exactly the same price.
