Is THERE A CONSPIRACY :?

w. w. Jermane correspondent tC
the Minneapolis Journal from Wash
ington, ID. c., last Saturday says: III
the opponents of the Roosevelt doc,
gram of trying to defeat the nomina-
ton of Secretary Taft by filling the
republican national convent ton with
contrasting delegations from the south
ern states 1t will be the biggest under
taking of the kind ever attempted.
Indeed, as a bid for the control of
government, 1t will be but one step
form open revolt with force and
arms"
Is there a conspiracy to steal the
South Dakota delegation to the nation
al Republican convention and give it
over to the interests" and corrupt
monopolists? This is a question that
is being considered at the present
time, not only by the friends of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, but also by many of
those who are friendly toward Sena-
tor Kittredge, but who would turn
from him in a moment If they could
be satisfied that the interests" were
taking hand in the present contest
in this state.
That there is something more than
mere personal pride which has caused
Senator Kittredge to leave his post
OF duty and come home is certain. 1t
cannot be that he fears the state will
when every Republican in the state
has declared in favor of Roosevelt
and Taft. If he were only interested
in the nomination of Secretary Taft
Mr.. Kittredge's co-workers would not
be spending money right and left and
riding night and day to secure dele
gates which can be moulded at the
will of the senator
No one will contradict the fact that
Mr.. Kittredge holds close communion
with the entire bunch of senator's at
Washington who are known to be
Corporation senator's The fact that
he can leave the senate and have
senator from New Jersey block every
particle Of legislation introduced by
Senator Gamble. through senatorial
courtesy" regardless of the impor-
lance to the state shows where Mr.
Kittredge gets his strength. Think
OF Senator from an eastern state
presuming to know what is needed In
South Dakota. But just because GAM
BILE is friend OF the president and
because both are against the ''sys-
TENS" certain senators, including Mr..
Kittredge. seem bound to down any,
one who Is against the combines.
We have .ll: that Senator Kilt
redge trains with the anti-Taft ele-
ment Ia the senate. Already the
scheme has been planned to contest

we are sure that if they do their
work will be as heartily received
as it was in Brookings.
During a brainstorm the astronomi-
cal editor last week let go of local
stating that there would be fifty-three
Sundays in this year. A whole lot of
people who object to going to church
SO many times or for some other rea-
son, have called us up and called us
down on the proposition. There will
be but fifty-two Sundays in 1908, and
the Register is again proven to be
a wonderful advertising medium.
Prof. r. B. McClenon wrote us as fol-
lows regarding the item: The above
item clipped from your last issue is
interesting but unfortunately is not
true. There will not be fifty-three
Sundays in this year, and there will
be in 1911 and in fact several times
during the next 10 years. There is
an extra day in every year and two
in leap years, SO whenever the year
begins on Sunday they will be fifty
three Sundays in that year. Your as

convention into the hands OF the anti
Taft faction. In ord.r 10 make II
doubly sure it is thought that this
scheme will be worked in northern
states or that the senators favorable
to the interests will. under the cloak
of being for Taft try to steal the dele
CATION and hand it over to the enemies
of the president at the proper time or
not have their vote recorded in any
manner.
The Aberdeen News recently tried
to cover up the fact that this might
be Mr. Kittredge's purpose by saying
that he would not dare 10 do so be-
cause he hoped 10 be reelected sena-
tor The state primaries which VIII
either declare in favor Of Mr.. Craw-
ford or Mr.. Kittredge come before the
national convention and the people
would then be powerless to punish
Mr.. Kittredge for influencing the
South Dakota vote in the national con
vention TO an action that might be
against the wishes OF the Republicans
of this state.
please, are fighting this year as they
have never fought before If they can
break the influence of President
Roosevelt if they can gain control of
national affairs and place Joe Cannon
or some other reactionary representa-
tive i'm the White House every particle
of that which the people have been
fighting for will have gone glimmer-
ing and the fight will have to be gone
all over. and il is doubtful if in this
generation another such an opportuni-
ty will be placed within the peoples
grasp.
1t, therefore, is TO the interest of
every voter who believes in the prin-
ciples of the Republican party, or in
the honor of President Roosevelt, to
seriously canvass the situation before
voting for delegates who. when they
get TO Huron will be at the beck and
call OF Senator Kittredge. This is not
a convention which is to decide who
shall be the next senator from South
Dakota-it is not convention, even,

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT

The Brookings Press has with NAL
ice aforethought deliberately pub
lished false statements relative TO the
taxation question. In the very first in
stance the comparative table it pub
lshed was so misleading that every
following statement should have been
looked upon with suspicion.
1t was unfair to compare the tax
of 1906 with 1907 when it has been
shown by conclusive evidence that the
property holders of this county in 1903
and 1905 paid larger amount of
money in state taxes and on a lower
assessed valuation than they are pay
ing this year on the assessment of
1907 Having been ousted on this
point they jump to the question of
railroad assessment and attempt again
by false statements to show that the
Northwestern has been favored by the
state board of equalization. Having
been guilty of falshood and misrepre-
sentation in the first instance it is
but fair to presume the same method
will continue and the Register propos-
ed to show this to be the case. The
Press says:
I'VE will give few cases where the
North Western assessment is higher in
the country outside than in the towns,
and will give the page of the state
report, where the figures may

Hall are at present so much inter.

Here in Brookings county they hope
to give Congressman Hall trouble and
make it appear that his home county
has gone against him. Senator Kit
redge is only too glad to furnish the
ammunition to do this because he
knows to have fair deal delegation
from BroOkings county at the state
convention would deprive him of at
least so many votes toward securing
the delegation to the national conven-
ton and that the national committee
man from South Dakota would be
such one as would not on his return

1t will be noted that every one of
these towns is a junction point where
the Northwestern has several branch
es uniting with the main line, and
the Press again attempts to deceive
voters by carefully emitting the val
uation of the main line in which is
included the buildings, side tracks.
coal sheds, etc, and only gives the
branch line from the city limits to
the switch where it connects with the
main line. The explanation Of the
Watertown valuation is practicable to
each town mentioned.

| brick" the voters of Brookings county
presented him with some twenty years
ago. Or that Charlie Allen will at
tempt to carry the primaries on an
other friendly to Philo Hall ticket.
During the last year OF the stall
wart administration 1906 I'm this
state the Chicago q Northwestern
nv. was assessed on a basis of S ,9Jl
per mile for every running mile in the
state. This year, under fair deal adj
ministration the same road is assess
ed on a basis of $6,891 per mile. Now
add to this the amount Of special as
sessments which is assessed against
the depot, warehouse, coal sheds, side
track, watertanks and other property
which has never before been taxed at
all and YOU will readily see why it is
that the railroads are quietly trying
to undermine the present state admin
istration For instance here in Brook
ings within the corporate limits the
North Western Railway is assessed
Especial and aside from the assess
ment on the rate outside the city
limits) on valuation of S34 0l6
Within the corporate limits of Aurora
the C. & NV is assessed on a basis
of $14,342 and at Volga $l0,011. The
amounts accruing from taxes on the
North Western in each of those towns
mentioned goes into the city or vii
liage funds and adds to the amount re-
ceived by those towns from taxation
of property. This applies TO every
town and county in the state and
makes the railroad property within all
town and cities subject TO the same
taxation as on other city or town pro-
perry. What more can the property
holders ask than the present admin
stration has given them? and is it
fair to decry their motives when they
have created the illwill of every rail
road in the state by taxing the cor
porations on the same basis as the
real estate or village property holder
is taxed?
