Lead His Soldiers in the
Fighting
MARTIAL LAW In THE
CITY OF BARCELONA

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
MADRID via HendRye, France, Oct
13.-Ferrer Day found Spain an
armed camp with every soldier iu the
empire under arms. Alfonso, confident
in the loyalty Of his army, was pre-
pared TO crush any attempted insur-
rection with an iron hand.
Under direction of Premier Canale-
jas. every reservist had been sum-
moned to the colors and every large
city in Spain was occupied by I'M
mense numbers of soldiers.
Barcelona, the hot-bed of sedition
and the spot where Dr. Ferrer was
shot by the troops on October 13 last
year. Is under martial law.
King Alfonso has announced that in
the event of an uprising he is conf
dent he can count upon the army to
support him. He viii take personal
command of the situation and lead his
soldiers in any fighting that may be
necessary. The Kings reckless per-
sonal courage during the Barcelona
outbreak last year had much to do
with ouelling the outbreak.
Leaves Of absence to officers and
privates have been suspended for
seven days, and all troops not on duty
arc being kept in barracks, so that
they may be rushed to the point OF
any trouble at a moments notice.
Ferrer Regarded as = Martyr.
Francisco Ferrer, now regarded as
a martyr TO the cause of republicanism
and socialism was shot to death year
ago to-day in the barcelona fortress
by firing squad Of Spanish soldiers.
He had been convicted by court mar
tial on the charge Of being the ring
leader in the bloody Barcelona upris-
ing during the summer of 1909.

teachings toward republicanism were
regarded as anarchistic by the Spanish
government He fed after the upris-
ing and was arrested in his home at
Mongat. where he was living in cave
under his dwelling. He was rushed to
Barcelona and despite threats on the
part of the Republicans, was court
martialed and shot.
Ferrer began life as railroad
iaborer bur In some unknown way be
came wealthy. He was arrested foi

nate King. Alfonso by bombs on hii

The Day county reform" machine
failed to deliver the goods. They
relied upon their perfect organization
to make them invincible, and were so
confident of the infallibility of their
organization that they promised plur-
atty of at least 200 for Vessey in this
county. But when the votes were
counted they discovered that they
lacked PAL of making good their prom
Use. Taken altogether, the result of
the primaries in this county is not such
as would create joy among the politi-
clans who are directing the destinies of
the reform" machine. Their attempt
to override the desires of the rank and
file of the faction and perpetuate them
selves in power as the bosses of the
county was the primary cause of their
defeat at the primaries. They had the
organization and everything that was
necessary to insure them a sweeping
victory in the county, but they defeated
themselves by display of bossism and
peanut politics at time when they
should have kept quiet and allowed
candidates to come out as the primary
law intends.

The republicans of Iowa blighted the
political hopes Of Senators Dolliver
and Cummins and at the same time
showed that senatorial bossism would
not be accepted in that state, by nom
mating Carol for governor. Senator
Cummins made it point to come clear
from Washington and stumped the
state telling the republicans of Iowa
how to vote. Had Mr.. Cummins re-
Trained from mixing in" the progress
sive candidate would doubtless have
secured the nomination, but the repub-
lican voters resented the Cummin's in
reference, and their objection to SEN
atorial bossism was fully demonstrated
at the primaries.

more than fulfilled. The manner in
which the long-haired wonder from

haha and adjoining counties was aston
ishing. Three to one was what George

heavy vote he received there combined
with the scattering vote received in all
other parts of the state, was nearly
sufficient to put him at the head of the

Martin and Burke Win

The magnificent majorities rendered
Congressman Martin and Burke by the
republican voters of the state show
that the people of South Dakota are
not unappreciative of the work our
congressman have done in the interests
of the state. The only thing their
opponents could bring to bear against
them was the fact that they are sup
porters of the policies of the admins
tration. Not word of criticism could
be uttered in regard to their efforts in
behalf of their constituency. They
were denounced by their opponents be-
cause they remained true to the poll
cies and precepts of the republican par
ty instead of following some wild-eyed
''reformer," but the republican voters
of South Dakota have shown conclusive
ly that they prefer to be represented
by men who accomplish things rather
than by blatant politicians who play to
the galleries and act as obstructionsts
to the plans and policies of the admin
istration.
The nomination of Martin and Burke
is an endorsement Of the Taft admins
tration an endorsement of the safe,
conservative policy pursued by the adj
ministration leaders in national legisla-
ton. Their nomination also goes to
show that the populistic brand of rep
ublicanism, which is now menacing the
party in most of the middle western
states, has not gained much of foot
hold in South Dakota.

Though Dick Richards did succeed in
nominating his candidate for governor,
the stalwarts have every reason to
feel good over the result of the prim-
aries. They not only succeeded in re-
nominating Congressman Martin and

but they also took out of the progress
sive camp the offices of State Auditor,
Railroad Commissioner, Land Commits
sioner and State Superintendent.

The big vote received by George w.
Egan has inflated the heads of some of
his admirers to such an extent that
they are now considering the advisable
ity of entering him in the race for the
United States senatorship to succeed
Senator Gamble. Mr.. Egan might pos
sibly win the governorship, but the
people of South Dakota want a far
different type of man to represent
them in the United States senate.
