That F. w. Baldwin of Barton is
gaining strength as candidate for a
place on the delegate ticket to the
national convention is seen by the fol-
lowing from the Rutland Herald:
A frequently repeated "slate" for
delegates-at-large to the Chicago
convention includes the names OF SEN
ator Dillingham; and Col. J. Gray Estey
of Brattleboro from the second district
and Frank L. Greene of ST. Adams and
o. M. Barber of Bennington from the
first, while R. w. Hulburd OF Hyde
Park and R. w. McCuen of Vergenness
as district delegates from the first ana
w. H. H. Slack of Springfield and r.
G. Butterfeld of Derby or +. W..
Baldwin of Barton are strong men
from the second district. The 18th OF
April. however, is likely to see most
iof these ambitions settled.

The Monitor stated the fact last
week that Governor Proctor would not
be a candidate for the United States
senate. but owing to the fact that the
statement was not given out till Mon
day afternoon within short time OF
our going to press, and we received
the news by telephone, no detail was
given. The statement made by the
governor was as follows:
Il deeply appreciate the desire of
some that | should represent the state
in the United States senate. Many
whose advice and wishes alike deserve
great weight urge me to be a candl-
date now. | have however. been
reluctant to leave the business with
which | have been so long and happily
associated and have grave doubts
whether | ought at this time to do so.
Aside from my private interest | have
a peculiar duty and responsibility for
its success. 1t touches and affects so
many that its interests are in fact
more than private. | have also felt
a great aversion to entering any poll
Jical contest while governor of the
state or permitting my friends to do
so for me. 1t is my present ambition
to complete my term Of Office as govern
or untrammeled by any other considera-
lions than those of the public good. The
weight of these reasons has not leSsened
during the past few weeks but rath-
er strengthened in my mind and
have decided not to be candidate at
this time.
FLETCHER D. PROCTOR"
This stand was predicted by the
Monitor two weeks ago and puts tt
fight all "doubting Williams who
thought Proctor would run, justifyine
their belief blythe fact that the governor
appointed Stewart instead of an avowec
candidate. This leaves the field tt
two candidates, G. S. Page Of Hyde
Park and D. J. Foster of Burlington.
Mr.. Page is now conceded to be the
leading candidate and even should
other candidates enter the field, as il
has been suggested 0. M. Barber O.
Bennington might do, it is doubtful i
any serious inroad into Mr.. Page
lead could be made.

Last week the Monitor printed the
announcement of Frank Plumley's can
didacy for Congress and also stated
that Kittredge Haskins would seek "a
denomination. The Monitor would re-
peat that Mr.. Plumley is an able man
and a most excellent gentleman, highly
respected and honored by all who know
him and would make an able and lnfiu-
entail congressman. However the
Monitor fails to see why Mr.. Haskins
should lose his head to crafty the
ambition of Mr.. Plumley or any other
man. so long as he represents Vermont
honestly, ably and discreetly, all OF
which Mr.. Haskins has done. For
want of better campaign material the
Plumley men have shouted that he,
Plumley, did not enter the last race be-
cause he understood Mr.. Haskins would
not again seek the nomination. This
"bogy" is scattered to the four winds
in an article from the BrattlebOrc
Phoenix reprinted elsewhere, ano
shows that Mr.. Plumley's announce
ment was misleading and unfair to Mr..
Haskins. Thus far no Plumley man
has undertaken to answer the Phoenix
article, and it stands unchallenged.
This alone is good proof that Mr.. Plum
ley's understanding" was unwarrant-
ed and that Mr.. Haskins' "pleadings'
were not heard outside of the Plumley
camp.

government for arms and ordnance
stores furnished the state militia. Col.
Haskins then engineered to it's final
passage the bill which put into the
treasury of Vermont over $15O,OOO
besides wiping out all claims which the
government was alleged to have
against the state.
Col. Haskins also guided to enact
ment the oleomargarine bill, the live
stock gu arantine bill which was of in
terest to Vermont, numerous invalid
and dependent pension bills, the extern
sion of the free delivery, and various
other measures affecting Vermont in
tereSts.
Col. Haskins has not employed press
agent methods to extol his services,
and if the Mortified News would do
little investigating on its own account
in Washington it would find thatshis
services have been something more
than of average character" and that
the rank which he has attained is ex-
ceptional for a man who entered the
service in 1901.
! The plain fact is that Representa-
tive Haskins has reached a place of
assured influence and usefulness i. in
| Washington, place which many repre-
sentatives never attain, and which can
be attained only as the result of faith
full and conscientious work, marked
ability and extended experience with
congressional procedure.
To change from man in the height
of his power and influence in Congress
to another wholly lacking in expert
ence in national legislation would be
the height of folly. Such a charge
certainly should not be made simply to
crafty one mans ambition. -Brattle-
boro Phoenix.

Two years ago the Legislature Of
South Dakota was REFORM" prin-
.ipally only a few of the old ''ma-
.hine' elected. Thus a majority Of
the legislature was elected to ire
form" the state laws in the inter-
ests of the common people; they
were pledged to do certain things.
4 law was passed called the "Dou-
BILE Damage Law and was aimed
ut the railroads. So far as it goes
it is good measure. An anti
cigarette law was passed. A pure
food bill was passed. Other mcri-
torious measures passed the legis-
latnre.
But this same legislature failed
TO make good in all their pledges,
some of which were much more i'm
portant than those enacted. A bill
was introduced lowering passenger
rates--and failed to carry. If all
the reforners IN the legislature had
roted for this bill Il would hare
passed by an overwhelming major
ity. Some of these Legislators were
honest in their convictions, and
worked hard TO have this bill made
law-they failed because the fel-
'ows rho secured the rictory for the
reform element did not wanf any
such idm. "The railroads will not
build any more road if it is pass
ed" etc.
Freight rates are just as high
now AZ they were two years ago,
and they are most certainly ruin.
ously high. If you don't think 80,
pay few freight bills and find out
for yourself.
These and other measures which
would have been of lasting benefit
to the people of the state were
thrown out-defeated. And the
reformsrs were In the majority.

Senatorial Beauty

The Groton Herald seems to
have been offended with Senator
kittredge's want of personal beau
ty. Well, the senator may not be
built along lines which would make
an artists model for picture Of
Adonis-but he looks good to his
frien nds. II is impossible to dig up
a single instance in his public ca
eer in which he has been untrue
to the best interests Of the common
wealth, or in which he has double
crossed those who reposed in him
the confidence of friendship. We
do not boast of his beauty. In fact,
he would never do at all as our
pink-tea favorite at Washington.
Nor is South Dakota suffering in
the beauty line. No man who ever
graced the senate halls looked the
part better than Robert j. Gamble.
From his white crest to patent
feathers he looks the ideal senator
on dress parade. In tho other
branch of congress we also have a
surplus Of beauty. Philo with his
boyish face and convivisl habits
does the role of the bon vivant su.
perbly. Then when it comes to get
ting into familiar personal touch

The Charles Mix new era. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1???-1911, 1908-03-27

The influx of new settlers into
South Dakota this spring is great
er than for several years, and it
commenced much earlier this sea-
son than usual, owing, doubtless,
to the fact that the weather has
warm and springlike for
the greater portion of the past few
weeks.
While it is impossible to pro-
cure the exact figures, it is con-
servatively estimated that during
the course of the past few weeks
between 1,500 and 1000 carloads
of stock, farm machinery and
household goods belonging to new
settlers have been hauled into
South Dakota. The new settlers
are pouring into the new region
west of the Missouri river in con-
stantly increasing stream. Hun
dreds Of carloads Of settlers effects
have crossed the Missouri river at
Pierre and Mobridge, and at
Chamberlain fully as many are
crossing, to find new homes in the
territory tributary to the railroad
Extensions from the Missouri river
to the Black Hills.
The movement of immigrant
cars from the east to the western
part of South Dakota rapidly is
assuming gigantic proptroins. Dur
ing period of only eight days y
total Of 81 carloads Of new settlers
effects crossed the Missouri at
Chamberlin. At present the num-
Der is about 20 per day and a big
increase is certain as spring ad-
vances. Special trains are neces-
sary to accommodate the large
number of new settlers from east
ern states who are finding homes on
the comparatively cheap lands east
of the Missouri river. Practically
every county in eastern South Da-
kota is receiving its share of the
new settlers. -
The new settlers are experienced
farmers from Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Mis-
souri, and other states, and they
come prepared TO carry on farming
operations on scientific and pro
gressive principles.
Many of the newcomers are
men who rented farms in the states
mentioned, and who had accumu.
lated sufficient to purchase outright
farms in South Dakota at the com
paratively low prices at which they
are held OtheTs aH mm who hssx
