Republican State Convention

To the Republican electors of the
State of South Dakota:
The Republican State committee OF
South Dakota, In compliance with
statutory requirements. has called a
delegate convention of the republicans
of the state of South Dakota. TO meet
in the city Of Huron, s. D., on Tues
day the eth day of April, 1908. at -
O'Clock, noon, for the purpose of elect
ing eight delegates and eight alter
mates TO attend the republican nation
alal convention to be held in Chicago
June 10th. 1908, for the purpose of
nominating candidate for the Of
flee of president of the United States
and a candidate for the office of vice
president OF the United States. Also
for the purpose of formulating a ma.
tional platform for the republican
party
The ratio, as fixed by law, will be
as follows: Each county shall have
one delegate for each one hundred
votes. or MAJOR fraction thereof. cast
for Hon. Coe. l. Crawford. republican
candidate for governor, at the election
of 1906.
The representation TO which the
several counties will be entitled under
this call is as follows,

Now that the silent senator has
found his tongue there can be no
excuse for refusing to meet Governor
Crawford in joint debate. Every Re
publican in South Dakota, whether be
a friend of Mr.. Kitredge or friend
of Mr.. Crawford would like to have
those two candidates meet at stated
places over the state and discuss the
the situation. Everybody wants to
what they have 10 say and why the
two are running for office-would 1t
not be fair for them TO tell the voters
from the same platform on the same
evening why they are candidates?
II Mr.. Kittredge has been wronged
he can find no better way to regain
the confidence of his fellow citizens.

ALDRIcH FOR TAFT?

The Chicago Evening Post makes
the prediction that Senator Aldrich
will soon be posting bills for William
H. Taft in Rhode Island, where Aid
rich is the official political bill poster
The reason that impels the Post to
this belief is that the presidents re-
cent message, has convinced Senator
Aldrich that the choice of republicans
who are able to beat out the democrat
is narrowed down to either Roose-
welt himself or to candidate who is
recognized as square follower of
the presidents policies. Rather than
have Roosevelt himself, and rather
than stand for reactionary candidate
who would be bowled over by a demo

and supporters in South Dakota are
the Progressive Republicans who are
backing Governor Crawford for sen
ator.
1t had been charged that the pro

that Mr.. Taft himself recognizes who
are to be counted on to stand by Re
publican principles regardless of the
sorehead side-show that is now per
forming at Sioux Falls in opposition
to the regular Republican organiza
