REP PUBLICAN
INSURGENTS
Are in Favor of the
Roosevelt Policies
of Taft

Huron, S. d, Feb 25.-After q bat
tie Of four hours. peace settled over
the conference of the progressive wing
OF the Republican party OF South Da-
kota at midnight
R, o. Richards Of Huron was made
chairman of the campaign committee
and Governor Veasoy will be the Re-
publican party leader on a platform
which is the embodiment Of the ideas
of the leaders of both the Richards
faction and the faction led by E. l..
Sem, which opposed Richards.
The platform says in part:
I'VE commend President Taft for
his reiterated declarations of loyalty
to tse Roosevelt policies Of progress
sive Republicanism. and pledge his
administration tho support OF the pro-
gressive Republicans in his efforts to
obtain the enactment of legislation
embodying those principles.
'"The dominating issue in the COM
Ing campaign is the wrestling of con-
troll OF national legislation from spe-
cial interests intrcnched behind Speak
er Cannon OF the house and Leader
Aldricn OF the senate and their sup
porters. 1t is not sufficient that
Speaker Cannon be retired It is es-
sential that a successor be elected who
is committed to and is supporter of
progressive principles The progress
sive Republicans OF South Dakota will
not support a candidate for the prl-
mary who does not stand unequivo-
cally on this platform.

yet exist which should be remedied,

Investigations OF the tariff commits
sion,
Eve denounce the practice OF col
locting moneys for political campaign
purposes from persons who hold, or
are aspiring. to appointive government

thereof by amendment OF the corrupt

I'VE favor the elimination Of the
personal spirit system by amend
mcnts to the primary law to provide
how party nominations to all appoint
i've government positions shall be de-
termined.
I'VE favor the nomination OF post
masters for presidential postoffices by
popular party elections who are resi-
dent patrons OF the Office.
I'VE favor an amendment of the
present corrupt practice act so as TO
eliminate therefrom the legality of
paying for men and teams TO haul the
voters to the polls
