Taft, also without Richards knowl-
edge, and asking for a diplomatic po-
sition for him, to get him out of the
country. 1t is just as consistent to
charge Richards with seeking to prof
1t financially without his knowledge
as it is to charge him with seeking
office with his knowledge, in the face
of the fact that he never sought pub
lie Office in his life.
"An attempt by the Sioux Falls
Press to switch the discussion of
principles to n OF personal abuse
Will not be tolerated by the rank and
file of the republican party, be they
progressives or ~stalwarts.
ut is not my purpose to del~e into
a personal discussion; but in justice
to fair play, the above facts may be
of interest.

Huron, S. u.
1t is reported to be likely hat Mr..
Richards will not at this time make
any answer to the mean attacks
which have been made upon him.
That he will not do so before the next
primary campaign, is stated on au-
thority. Mr.. Richards spent $4,000
of his own money in Mr.. Crawford's
behalf. Now Mr.. Crawford says that
MI. Richards is not taken serious
ly." The little machine tried to get
Mr.. Richards out of the state be-
cause Crawford and Cook and Gam
Bile knew he was disguised. The
trouble with Mr.. Richards is that he
is sincere and that he is dealing with
men who are simply playing the
game. The worst feature of the
whole situation is that the machine
would accept everything from Mr..
Richards which he could deliver, and
would then turn and rend him the
very minute that it could not make
further use of him. That Mr.. Gam
bic is a dead one for reelection is
the dominant opinion in South Da-
kota, and that Mr.. Crawford will
likewise follow Mr.. Gamble into the
waste basket when his term has eX-
pired Is getting to be equally clear.
The vicious and untruthful attacks
being made upon Mr.. Crawford's
campaign manager do not appeal to
the people of this state as a far deal.

THE DECISION ON LICENSE.

The majority of the voters at the
Tuesday election gave expression to
the sentiment that the licensed sa-
loon should be permitted to return
to Mitchell. The question was fought
out for three weeks, and both sides
put forth their best efforts to win the
victory. The license side won by a
majority Of 48-not sufficiently large
as to make it anything of an over
whelming nature.
The majority has spoken, however,
and to that decree the anti-license
people will submit.
With the election and the policy
determined for another year the diff
%ferences of opinion on the license
question should be laid aside and
unite on the proposition of further
ing the interests of Mitchell. That
is the one idea that should be the
paramount feature for the next year.
And in this work The Republican
will be found working hand in hand
with the business interests as for
the past twenty-five years. Simply be-
cause The Republican had a different
opinion as to what the best thing
was for Mitchell on the license ques-
ton does not NEAR that this paper
will set back and decline to try and
advance the growth and prosperity
of the town. We believe today, as
always, that Mitchell has a splendid
future before it along commercial
and educational lines, and with the
practical unanimity of it's people there
is no reaso why it's progress should
not be continued.
There has been more or less dis
cusssion with reference to the num-
Der of saloons that should be permit
ted to operate in Mitchell. There
seems to be a general sentiment that
the number should not be so large as
previous, when there we're ten doing
business. Many are inclined to the
opinion that five or six would be
sufficient for this town, and with thai
number the law could be enforced
1t will be up to the city council te
determine the matter of the number
Of saloons that shall have license!
and who shall have them.
AS to the enforcement Of the Ii
cense law the sentiment prevails tina
the present administration will Sc.
that the law is enforced to the lette,
and that is what we believe is thu
general opinion Of the citizens of thu
city-that the letter and not the
spirit of the law shall be obeyed.
Let's all lay aside our difference
of opinion on the question that ha
been paramount for the past montl
and get together and keep Mitchell ii
the forefront of the cities of the state
Unity of purpose will accomplish it
A division of the house will de
feat 1t.

Farman appeared almost overcome
by the long strain he had undergone.
He smiled family as he shook hands
with those about him, but his face was
white and his hands cold. He almost
tainted as he was helped out of his
seat. Then score of persons brought
him in triumph on their shoulders to
the presidential tribune, where NJ. Mil
lerand, minister of public works, was
waiting to receive him.
When the roar of the cheering had
ceased, NJ Millerand. in the name OF

Farman.
Il do so,'' said the minister, mot only
for the wonderful achievement you
have accomplished, but as a brave man
and for the example you have set for
others"
