One OF the oldest titles in the British

recently has been inherited by Viscount
Althorp formerly known as the Rt. Hon.
c. r. Spencer. and a half-brother TO
the late earl, whom he succeeded, and
who left no issue

DIVIDING GREA T
ENGLISH ESTATES

The vast feudal estates OF the Duke OF
Bedford, IN consequence Of recent legis-
lation in Parliament. are 10 be parceled
out into small properties to be rented
according 10 the new law All this is one
of the results of the liberal campaign
against the House OF Lords. The argu-
ment used against the landed gentry Is
the same as the one against the old land
owners In this country, especially in
large cities like New York and Phiadel-
phia, namely. that they stand in the way
OF development and Improvement OF the
property: that they viii not tear down
tumble-down tenements nor parcel out
their farms for higher cultivation.
This outcry In England, so the land
owners claim. has resulted in laws which
render the ownership OF land on a large
scale impracticable. Hence. great estates
are being broken up. Since the estates
OF the Duke OF Bedford have been sold,
rents OF cottages have been raised on
strictly commercial conditions. In some
instances II is said the rent Is dou-
bic or even treble now what IL was
under the feudal system when the duke
was proprietor. And whether the coun-
try has gained by the transfer of owner
ship is a matter about which there is
great difference OF opinion.
The Duke OF Bedford, It is claimed, Is
investing in foreign securities the money
derived from the sale Of the lands, be-
cause the income from American bonds
is two or three times as much as that
from the immortal estates. More than
sixty OF the large estates have been
thrown on the market recently, some Of
them dating back 10 the days OF Eliza
beth. and even to the days OF the Nor
man conquest.

congress a progressive congress, hos
tile to the special interests, and stand
ing for all that Roosevelt stands for
in the fight against predatory wealth.
If Cannon, Hale and Aldrich are
ordered by the special interests which
have controlled congress, to step down
and out because their works and their
very names have become odiou5 to the
common people of the United States,
then the people are confronted with
the opportunity of their lives to pre-
vent these special interests from rear
ing up other leaders to work over and
over ag in the iniquities of the past.
The people of South Dakota have it
to tLeir power to send at least two
members to congress who vii stand
as a rock against this scheme of the
special interests. Their opportunity
comes in the June primaries this year.
The people of South Dakota are not
fools. They have been deceived too
long. The promise to retire Aldrich,
Cannon and Hale will not deceive
them now. They will not send back
to congress men who were responsible
for the system which made possible
the leadership of those three. They
will send to congress Thomas Thorson
and John F. Schrader, men who are
u~nalterably opposed to the control Of
congress by any gang of corporation
controlled politicians, Sioux Falls

A MIGHTY ISSUE

As the Press predicted certain stall
wart newspapers are now claiming
that because Aldrich, Hale and Can,
non are likely to retire the progress
sives are deprived of an issue. Accord,
ing to this theory, when a political
movement is started to Dust a gang
of Especial interest leaders from the
party, and forces the retirement OF
two or three Of them, the movement
is thereafter left ia a hole and with
out an issue in campaigns which are
to determine largely who shall succeed
these men as leaders of the party.
There you have it, voters. You are
asked to support the stand pat can
didates for congress, the men who
are responsible for the leadership of
Aldrich and Cannon, and because the
~progressives have succeeded in driv.
ing these representatives of the spe.
cial interests into prospective retire
ment. You are asked to put in these
men SO they car select other leaders
who will stand for everything that
Aldrich and Cannon have stood for.
And then your are told that there is
''no issue" in all this. The proposed
retirement of these stand pat leaders
raises the mightiest issue that has
ever come up in the fight of the peo-
pie against the corporate interests.
Shall the republican party of the
f~urture be dominated by the same
class of men who have dominated it
!: .Is Ppas. EEherc is an issue on
which the people of South Dakota
must decide. The Press believes
that the republican party of South
Dakota is progressive and that on
this all-important issue the voters
will decide that South Dakota's rep
resentatives in congress shall be pro-
gressiye.
Will you vote TO send men to con-
gress who will see hal Aldrichism
and Cannonism continue 10 control
the republican party, or will you send
to congress progressives who will do
: their share toward making the next

EFFUSIONS OF PARMLEY

EFFUSI0NS OF PARMLEY
The Stalwsrt candidate for Lieut..
Governor, Mr.. Parmley, comes back
with a second letter in criticism Of
Governor Vessey for the appointment
OF Engineer Lea as superintendent OF
construction of the new state capitol
building. In this the old adage that
Republics are u~ngrateful" is again
illustrated.
Judge Bouck, through whose inhu.
ence a leading stalwart of Grant coun-
ty, was appointed by Governor Vessey
is, through his paper at Milbank about
as abusive of Vessey as one well could
be. Again, the Deadwood Pioneer
Times, whose editors used influence
to secur a stalwart appointee as mine
inspector, now u~ngratefully and mali
c%iously attacks the Governor without
rhyme or reason.
Now comes the Hon. Joe Parmley
in an attempt at a grand bounce of
the Governor by acrediting to him
Vessey) The appointment OF Lea, as
Superintendent of the Capitol build.
ing, when, in fact, he had nothing to
do with the appointment.
To go back a little in the record,
which our friend, $40" evidently does
not study, Cor, if he does study it, for
gets it as soon as possible,) it is dis
covered that Mr.. Lea is the only polit-
ical inheritance from the old Elrod
administration. The office was created
by the Elrod Legislature in 1905, pre-
sumably to make a place for an add,
tional appOintee, at any rate many are
unable 10 discover any other particular
purpose for the office. However, it
gave Governor Elrod an opportunity
to appoint his friend Lea. A beauti-
full feature of the law, creating this
Office, evidently so made from a fear
that the Stalwarts might lose out, is
the fact that the appointment holds
for six years, the full first term of
which has not yet expired.
Mr.. Lea was appointed Superintend
ent of construction in the early sun
mer of 1907, nearly two years before
Vessey became governor. Work on
the capitol at the time Vessey became
governor had progressed to quite an
extent, in fact the building was about
half completed, and it is high credit
to the business judgement of Cover
nor Vessey that he did not change
superintendent at that time.
The parties responsible for the APP
pointment ofLea were Governor raw-
ford, Auditor Hirning, Secretary Wipf
and Commissioners Dokken, and if Mr..
Parmley would be the hero of the
play and fight the real Williams he
should tackle those men.
Wesley, with the peculiar independ-
ence which characterizes him, defend
ed the whole proceedings and con
clusively showed that the state saved
money and that the appointment was
made for that purpose. At the same
time there was saved for that i'm
portant position one of the bestqualif.
ed engineers in the United States. If
Mr.. Parmley doubts this he is respect
fully referred to Elk, Governor Elrod.
