The reform element in this state
seems TO be having g hard time to
make the two U. S. senators stay
hitched. The republican state plat.
form on which the campaign was
conducted was strong for tariff re.
duction. On this point it says:
'sIn making such revision we favor
the removal of the tariff from coal,
iron, lumber and wood pulp as
we'll as from all articles, the price
or product of which is controlled
by a trust or monopoly" In the
votes recently taken on the various
schedules by the senate our sena-
tors nearly always lined up with
the Aldrich followers who are oharg-
ed with favoring the trusts. Among
the schedules favored was tariff
of 81 per ton on wood pulp; a tar
if on sugar, a trust product; on
farm machinery /; cotton and wool
en- goods. The surrender was SO
complete that the attempt of their
friends to defend their record has
almost been abandoned and many
of their former supporters are crit
icizing them. We confess that we
never sanctioned all of the charges
of iniquity made against the pro
tective tariff principle either in the
South Dakota platform or pro-
claimed by reformers on the stump
but after making their campaign
on such pledges, the votes of the
senators now, prove that they Ell
ther didn't know what they were
talking about when they made the
pledges, or they were talking to de-
ceive the people and make votes.

Congressman Martin has had
his nephew appointed to congress

say about Sen. Gamble some few
months ago can now get busy with
a matter pretty close to home.

Yes, the fellows" will get just
as busy with this matter" as they
did with Sen. Gamble if this neph-
ew goes off 100 miles from Wash
ington and attends school, paying
no attention to his clerkship except
on pay day as did Sen. CANDLES
son. And in that case there won't
be any legislative white-wash ap-
piled either, for those fellows"
don't uphold graft. But if this
nephew attends to his clerical du-
ties faithfully and puts IN his time
out of Office hours attending night
school, they will commend both
him and Mr.. Martin, just as they
would have commended both Sen.-
Gamble and his son under the
same conditions.

Sixty-seven national banks in
