IT is reported that an action will be
commenced against Secretary OF State
Policy to prevent him from putting
the law making two congressional
districts of this state on the ballot
under the referendum law. The action
will be taken in time to secure de-
cision from the supreme court before
the primaries. IF the district law is
allowed to stand it practically means
the defeat of Burke in this district
and the election of Martin in the
northern district. As matter of
fact, the law cannot be justly referred
to vote of the people as it is only a
tardy compliance with federal require
ments. The same law should have
been enacted at the first session OF
the legislature under statehood.

SOME of the packers are advocating
the control of cold storage plants by
the federal government. The packers
are themselves interested largely in
the cold storage business and they feel
that to have federal control or regula-
tion of the cold storage business will
be protection to them. The idea is
good one. 1t has been charged that
high prices of some food articles are
due to the cold storage monopoly, and
it looks reasonable, too.

RESULTS AT HURON.

The outcome of the conference OF
progressive republicans at Huron is
more gratifying to followers of this
state and nation wide movement for
good government. The spirit of toll
erance displayed and the real prin-
ciple back of the men who attended
the conference is shown by the good
feeling which prevailed among all the
delegates after the meeting was over,
Notwithstanding there was a lively
tilt during the day and evening over
conflicting views as to plan of cam
paign,
The discussions were not bitter and
those who favored a differens plan
from what was finally adopted. ex-
pressed their willingness and deter
minarion to work for the election of
progressive candidates, and the ir con-
fidence that the progressive ticket
would win.
Governor Vessey was accorded a re-
ception at the conference which'shows
the high esteem in which he is held
Stalwart papers in reporting the pro-
ceedings said that the welcome which
the governor received showed that be
stood we'll in the estimation Of the
people. 1t is not often given to a
political party or faction to go into a
campaign with as clean and popular a
leader as the man who will head the
list of progressive candidates for state
offices. ......-.
The declaration of principles are
broad and progressive as BELTS a
movement for good government. The
progressives recognize the efforts of
President Taft to induce congress to
pass legislation in line with the Roose-
velt principles They favor reductions
in the tariff schedules in line with the
party platform, and look to the com
mission provided for by the Payne bill
to formulate proper basis for such
reduction. The declaration on the
paramount issue in the campaign is
cleal and decisive. The control of
Legislation by special interests through
the power of few men to dominate
the national Legislative body is con-
demned in strong terms, and both
Cannon and Aldrich, and the undue
influence they exercise over congress
are denounced. The platform has
much to say about purity in politics
This is taking advanced ground, and
shows that the progressive republicans
of South Dakota stand for all that is
best and purest in the administration
of the business of the people who con.
stitute the real governing power. Al
together it is a declaration of prin
ciple to which any man who has the
best interests of the state at heart
can heartily subscribe.-Sioux Falls

STATE Treasurer Johnson is said to
have turned into the state treasury
all the interest received on state funds
deposited in banks. He has also
turned into the state treasury all the
tax money received from the different
counties. For this he is highly com
mended by the stalwarts. We also
commend him for both acts. But,
really, we don't see how he could help
it; the law compels him to do both.

NEW YORK HERALD
SAYS IT Is DIX


NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-One OF the
strongest and most influential "regu-
lar" Republican papers in the coun-
try, the New York Herald, came out
this morning In a declaration that
John a. Dix, the Democratic candi-
date for gubernatorial honors In the
Empire State, would win out with u
plurality of 10000.
The declaration is accompanied with
the results of an investigation made
by the Herald through straw votes and
other means to arrive at the temper
of the electorate. The Herald is one
of the bitterest opponents which cx-
President Roosevelt has in the coun-
try, and the latters statewide denun-
citation of Dix is believed to have been
the inspiring motive Of the Herald's
prediction.
Going further, the Herald comedies
Ohio to Harmon, the Democratic Gov
ernor out for denomination, allowing
him plurality of 10000 votes, A
third Democratic victor named by the
Herald Is DR.. Woodrow Wilson, the
former university president who is
running for the Governorship of New
