In Brookings county was waged one
of the hottest contests ever exper-
fenced since the early years. Both
factions of the Republican party had
complete tickets in the field and their
friends fought every inch of ground.
L. V Mccoy chairman of the Kilt
redge forces made strong claims for
his ticket but failed to carry ever
his own ward, the third, in Brookings.
Coe L. Crawford has a majority of
250 to 800 in the county.
Congressman Hall received a splen-
did endorsement and Glass kept close
to the remainder of the ticket.
The entire Progressive legislative
ticket was a winner.
The Progressives came very near
nominating. every man on the county
ticket, only losing clerk of courts and
register of deeds. States attorney
Eden On whom was made a strong
fight because of his aggreSsiveness
against extravagant expenditure of
county funds in the payment Of Off
Gals, won out by a good margin.
We hope to give complete returns
next week.

a line on the congressional ticket, but
1t seems that the interest centered
around the senatorial contest has
overshadowed everything else. Glass

to be perhaps the weakest seem 10
be running very close to Hall and

CRAWFORD
A WINNER
After Hard Fought Battle Receives
Endorsement of HIS
Policies
BOSS K|TTREDGE
RESTS HIS FEET
Congressional Ticket IS Running
Close Though Returns Are
Very MedUre

In spite Of the attempt to destroy
not only his political standing among
the rank and file of his party, but by
the most malicious TRADE of personal
abuse to degrade his character, Coe
!. Crawford today stands the uccess
full champion of the people against
close corporation bossism. For the
fourth time during the past two years
the vote Of the South Dakota has
piled up a monument of approval Of
Progressive Republican policies. Four
years ago Senator A. B. Kittredge was
warned by his best and truest friends
that he wal pursuing methods which
would ultimately lead to, retaliation
and his defeat. Once he had started
on the decline, however, every act
OF his and his followers has seeming
ly been toward self destruction and
their final resort to defamation of the
character of good citizenship only
fastened the rebuke which the Repub-
lican voters of South Dakota admins
tered to them last Tuesday. The
Minneapolis Journal in an editorial
yesterday afternoon says:
"Kittredge will have to charge his
defeat largely to his habit of failing
to take the public into his confidence
He has been good deal of a boss in
South Dakota politics for a good many
years. He has dominated the party
and controlled its affairs without al
ways pausing to ascertain whether
what he advised was fully approved
by the rank and file. The rank and
file seem to have go tired of that
way of doing things at last. At any
rate, Crawford has pursued a differ
ent policy, and his game, so to speak,
has been to play his cards face up.
Whether he will succeed in serving
the public more satisfactorily than the
leader of the opposition, remains to
be seen. He Is not without ardent
critics, who will refuse to give him
credit for any improvement over the
present regime until he demonstrates
their mistake.

TWO CASES NOT PARALLEL

The Hon. Harvey Ingham, our high
ly esteemed friend who is editor of the
Register and Leader has frequently
used the retirement of bishops by the
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church to illustrate his
argument in favor of Senator Allison
on account of age. We make refer
ence to this to say that the two cases
are not parallel. When a senator is
retired he is down and out having
neither influence, official position nor
salary. When bishop is retired he
remains bishop, has large influence
in the church, and receives half the
salary paid to him while in active SER
vice. At the conference held in Cleve-
land in 1896, the writer had the pleas
ure of casting a vote to retire Bishops
Bowman and Foster and thus relieve
them of the laborious work connected
with the duties of that important
office. But in doing so we did not re-
move them from the dignified and con-
secrated office to which they had been
chosen for life. When the latter re-
sponded to the vote which announced
his retirement he said in the most
kindly spirit, you can relieve me of
my work but thank God You cannot
take from me my Episcopacy. That,
will carry with me to the grave" On
the first page of the Epworth Herald
on May 2, was given picture of all
the twenty-four bishops; and the one
occupying first place is that of the ven-
cradle bishop Bowman, now over
ninety years of age. He is still Bishop
Bowman, highly honored as we'll as
provided for by the church, though re-
tired from its onerous service twelve
years ago. Moreover the positions
of bishop and senator are not to be
compared in the amount and kind of
labor. Senator Allison can live at
home, ride in carriage to the Capitol
oversee the work of his committee, die.
tate what he wants and have it done
by his secretary and the other men,
bers OF his committee. A bishop must
travel far and wide. His field includ-
es large part of the world. He
breaches, lectures, dedicates churches
holds annual conferences and APP
points the ministers to their charges.
His work is of the most laborious
kind. He must always be at his best,
because to him much has been given
and OF him much will be expected
His work is done very largely with
new people and different audiences
every week of the year. The wonder
is they do not wear out much earlier
in life. So we contend that the two
cases are by no means parallel for the
reasons we have given.

HAS A FINE RECORD

From long acquaintance with Hon.
b. +. Carroll we are of tho opinion
that no candidate for Office before the
Primary has better record both pub
lie and private. He possesses the char
sacter, ability and experience to take
high rank as governor of Iowa, if he
receives the nomin alton. After serv-
ing in the Senate he served three terms
as Auditor of State and a member OF
the Executive Council which has given
him a large experience in connection
with the state administration. We
believe with The Burlington Hawkey
"That no public official in Iowa has
made a better record than Carroll.
ais position of state auditor has been
one of exacting duties, and necessitat-
Jug rare gift of judgment and execu-
tive ability. He has had to deal with
two great and difficult questions of the
business world, banking and insurance
and the fact that there is no complaint
or criticism from any source OF his
handling of these two phases of his
work is proof positive that he has
made splendid success with them. In
all other departments of his official
work he has shown the same capabili-
ty and the affairs of his Office have
never been better administered.

DON'T BE FOOLED

Last week we had an item with the
above heading. We now quote the
following from The Sentinel of
Shenandoah:
do not let any republican be fool
ed by the candidacy of Hamilton for
Governor. He has been an ardent sup
porter of Cummins and now at a late
date he comes out as a candidate on a
prohibition woman suffrage platform
to draw votes away from Carroll and
thus insure the nomination of Garst,
the right hand man of Mr.. Cummins.
The plan is for Garst, il he is elected
governor and Mr.. Allison should die
to appoint Cummins senator. 1t begins
to look as If Carroll had a sure thing
for the nomination and the only way
to prevent it was to draw votes away
from him, and Hamiltonis the catspaw
to do it with. / like Hamilton's plat
form and If | thought he was in earn.
est and had a show to get the nomina-
ton l would support him but it is as
plain as the nose on ones face that he
Is running in the interest of Garst.
Every Allison republican who under
stands the game that Garst and Ham.
llton are putting up will vote for Mr..
Carroll.

ALLISON OUT OF DATE

In one of our exchanges from north
ern Iowa, whose editor we esteem very
highly both for his ability and char
acter, we find the following statement:
1t is not the part of wisdom for a
public man to be always ready to eX-
press an opinion of a measure before
he has given it considerate attention,
and has had time to form a mature
Judgment; but Senator Allison is too
much of that sort of man. He was a
conservative as a young man, and that
quality always increases with age;
while the needs of the country have
been going in the other direction and
makes him entirely out of harmony
with the demands of the present times.
He IS NOW OUT OF DATE. The state
demands doer of things like Cum
Minis"
just think of it! Allison out of date!
Here is man who has been confden-
tial advisor of all Republican presi-
dents from Lincoln to Roosevelt, in
elusive. For many years he has been
the leader of the senate and still main
tains his position because of his eXpe-
rience and ability Yet he is said to
be out of date by a young man who
wasn't born when Allison entered Con-
gress. Yet forthe purpose of boosting
their candidate they declare that he is
very feeble and out of date.

HON. BERNARD MURPHY

Over at Vinton, Iowa, getting out a
good newspaper twice week, lives b,
Murphy man of wide experience in
politics in Iowa yet never seeker for
elective Office until the present. BY his
friends in the newspaper profession he
is referred to as Pat - as kind of a
term of endearment for he has certain
ly won unique place for himself
among newspaper men of the whole
state. Mr.. Murphy is one of those men
who are not only good fighters but
also good losers; he knows when he
has been whipped and will acknowl-
edge it and turn around and help the
majority to do the best it can under
the circumstances. Mr.. Murphy has
been hard worker, keen observer
a man of independence of action, mi
tiative and force, but he has never put
himself in the position of being an un-
reasonable or implacable foe to any
one. At the last state convention Mr..
Murphy did much to prevent split of
the delegates over the platform and
report of the credentials committee.
He has worked himself up from the
case to the Office of State Printer which
he held for three terms. He is now
for Lieutenant Governor
and is sure to out distance all his com
petitors in the race.

THE AUDUBON CHAUTAUQUA
Those Who Attend Will BE Entertained
BY Six Big Musical Programs

These Six Musical Programs will
include Thirty-Two Splendid Musici-
ans, Soloists, Combinations in Voice
and Instrumentation. Ruthven Melon
aid, the Greatest Baritone, of Canada,
brings his grand solo voice, assisted
by his company; The Ohio Male Quar-
tette, new to the west, and grand
attraction; The Stelze Qnartettc, voice
and instruments, is feature worthy
TO receive special notice. 1t contains
future world famous pianist, a great
violin soloist and ballad singer
whose grand contralto voice ranges
three octaves; The Barnard Family
Orchestra, Seven Splendid Musicians,
plays the common music, superbly;
The Hungarians and The Sterling
Jubilee Singers come back by special
request They are the best of their
kind to be had, Morning programs
have been arranged under the personal
supervision of Doctor Vincent, the
parent and promoter Of the First Chau-
tauqua. They will consist of lectures
by corps selected by Father Vincent
along Sociological, Historical and
Biblical lines. Other attractions for |
the fol enoon will be The Pueblos, who |
camp on the grounds and show the |
home life of the Cliff Dwellers, weave,
make pottery and so forth; and The
Redpath System Indian Tribes. These |
latter Indians are good Indians with
out being Dead ones" The tribes
are formed from the school children OF
Audubon; Indian names and laws |
adopted for the purpose of conducting |
Seaton Indian Work under trained /
teachers supplied by the Redpath Sys-
tenn. Wigwams and Teepees will be
furnished, the children will learn much |
of value in nature study, legend and |
history, and parents will find the camp |
an excellent place for children during
vacation time. The Redpath System
Indian will be modelled on the noble
Red man of Longfellow and Cooper,
just, courteous and of high
character. 1t is to be great Chau-
tauqua. Not Cedar Rapids, Burling-
ton, Dubuque, Lacrosse or Winona,
which have turned over their Chau-
tauquas to the Redpath System, will
hold greater one than Audubon.
