In The Prince Chap" that she was not
allowed 10 90 to London 10 play the
past at Sir Charles Wyndham's CTiter-

retained for the American tour.
Little Helen, who was then but seven
years OF age, wrote letter 20 George
schaeffer, the stage manager, Who was
sent from New York to produce the
piece iE London. It expressed with sin
certify her feelings on the subject. The
letter was mailed 20 Mr.. Schaeffer at
the Criterion Theater. London. aHG is
es follows:

nsurgent authority and we hope our
nsurgent readers will soak it in:
with the defeat of Pettigrewism
and the restoration Of the republican
party to supremacy in this state the
writer has come, perhaps errone-
ously-he is not infalible-to iden-
tify Senator Kittredge as leader.
If Senator Kittredge is to be slaugh-
tired there should be some reason
g zen besides the political ambitions
Of another. Kittredge is practically
serving his first term and the loyal
republicans OF this state should rec
ognize that be is the man who stood
by them in the storm, even at the
very storm center "
As proof that the leaders of the
lnsurgent cause in Day county real
i've at this time that they are fight
ing losing game is evidenced by
the fact that last week they tried by
all manner of persuasion to induce
the chairman of the prohibition com
mittee to sell out his party in the
interest of their cause, according to
the chairman of the prohibition cen
trail committee who resides at Pier
pont, while at Webster last week he
was taken to insurgent headquarters
where he met the Representatives of
the people y and for hours lis
tened to promises, entreaties and
pledges and, to use his own words
"eloquence that was worthy of five
thousand audience. BE it said to
the credit of the aforesaid chairman
these promises and arguments fell
on deaf ears and no thought of lay
ing down principle and party was
for moment entertained by him, to
assist in factional fight of an
opposing party. The prohibition
party of Day county in the Novem-
Der 1905 election cast 295 votes for
governor and it was this vote the
insurgent leaders at Webster sought
to gam, or part of it by inducing
the prohibition committee to refuse
to place ticket in the field and
institute campaign IN the interests
of faction in the republican ranks.
The disappointment over the sesult
was said to be intence, and so sure
were they that their scheme could
be carried out that some who were
not informed in time were circulat-
ing the report that the prohibition
lists, through their committee had
made deal to assist the insurgents;
and that's the way the scheme leaked
out. A large per cent of the voters
of the prohibition party are located
in this corner of the county and if
you wish to stir up small hornets
nest just ask them what they think
of an insurgent deal to "sell out"

Prohibitionist View.

Quincy Lee Morrow, the secretary
of the state prohibition committee,
and the lecturer in the state in
behalf OF prohibition who spoke here
several times, takes very small stock
in Coe /. Crawford and the insurg-
ents who are trying in true political
style to line up the prohibition vote
in behalf of Crawford for Senator.
Mr.. Morrow is an old time populist,
and he has no part in the factional
fight in South Dakota. In a recent
interview he said:
ut is apparent that the insurgents
are attempting to work the same old
game that has been so successful in
the past-putting up good tenn
perance man to give character to a
ticket and at the same time giving
the liquor men all the assurance they
need. Senator Messy, of Messing
tom Springs, is the character or the
insurgent ticket, and his name is
depended upon to line up the tenn
perance element. On the other end
is Geo. w. Egan, of Sioux Falls, who
gained notoriety in the prosecution
OF Mrs. Kaufman, and who has
been campaigning the state for the
insurgents. heard him at Aber.
deem last week. He holds up the
liquor end; and judging from what
read in the payers, Colonel Parker is
holding the center of tho stage"
The insurgents had full control
OF the legislature, yet the only vital
measure for the advancement Of the
temperance and prohibition cause
was defeated. Coo I. Crawford was
attorney general Of this state when
we had state prohibition. BY his
failure to enforse the law as he had
authority to do and as he was
appealed to time and again by the
temperance people to do, but with.
out result, state prohibition IN South
Dakota was overthrow"
