THE CANTON lEAOE R
ARTHUR LINN,
Editor and Proprietor.
mat Huron Meeting.

Some Of the standpat editors are
working overtime trying to convince
themselves the Huron meeting of
progressive republicans was illtimed
and dangerous to party harmony, and
that n such meeting should have
been called. Such complaints come
from men who thrive politically
through midnight meetings in secret
places. No honest, well meaning re-
publican can question the motives
that led to open and general discus
sion OF party policy when Cannoism
and Aldrichism is given the people as
a sample Of the republican policy
promised In the platform and on the
stump. There are two sides to this
queston-one represents trust robbery
and the other the rights Of the peo-
ple-the dollar against the man.
No subterfuge or harmony howl
from standpat supporters Of Cannon
ism can Influence the people against
a through discussion of progressive
policies in state affairs. The issue in
this state Is not men.
Party policy and the welfare Of the
masses must eve hold first place in
public discussion and no set OF men
"a switch the issue or prevent the
people from looking after matters
that concern their welfare so closely.
Bosses no longer rule in this state
as the Huron meeting demonstrated.
Men may fuss and froJh and kick but
the people will go right on holding
public meetings and discussing public
measures without regard to political
combinations or personal interests.
The progressive fight must go on;
there is no halfway mark in the con
test. South Dakota must be pro-
gressive on the square deal principle
or return to the arms of the corpora
tiOns and trusts agents, and thus
surrender their rights to be represent
ed only as the policy Of Aldrich and
Cannon sdoled out under the coward
ly surrender of congress. II South
Dakota preferes to be represented by
men who support the interests such a
Ourse Is open under the standpat
program, but it is the opinion Of the
LEADER that South Dakota will
never take a backward step and those
who advocate such a move are
enemies Of popular government.
The Huron meeting served notice
that a bastard harmony is worse than
defeat.

According to President Taft's
Winona speech q congressman or
senator must vote for a measure
whether they like 1t or not, in order
TO maintain party solidarity" but who
makes 1t possible for the party ''soli-

real downward revision of the tariff?
II the tariff experts are not all liars
the people got little or nothing out of
the trust made measure.

sTANnING oF THE CLUES.


Perryyille at Elk Mills; Rising Sun at
Ellxton.
The game on the home grounds with
the team from Elkton proved close one,
with a spectacular finish in the tenth in
ming, when Caldwell hit home run drive
TO right field and won the contest for
Rising Sun. m
Both pitchers were in fine form and
kept the hits down, the visitors securing
but four off Efing, and the home team
six off Clay. The errors made were
costly, resulting in runs for both teams.
England carried off the fielding honors,
getting four drives that were sent to right,
two Of them being particularly hard
chances. Potts backed up his pitcher in
good style, as did the entire visiting team
in fact. Caldwell's batting was feature,
his three hits figuring in all the home
teams runs.
Elkton tied the score in the sixth inning,
but got but one run over the plate, de-
spite some ragged work on the part of
the home team. No more scoring was
done until the last half Of the tenth, when
Caldwell, the first man up for the home
team caught the first ball pitched on the
end of his bat and lifted it over right field
fence for home run, the hit being the
longest one made on the grounds this
year. The score:
