Richards and the Primary

| uS Viz
Boss Richards, who is endeavoring tc
relieve the 'reformers" of thc arduous
duty of selecting candidates at the June
primaries, appears to have got his wires
crossed in selecting the reform cam
didates for congress. After sizing up
the available timber Richards came to
conclusion that Thos. Thorson of Can
ton was the man the insurgent machine
must support for congress, and when
he announced this decision a howl of
protest went up from the reform"
politicians who were attempting to
shove other ''favorite sons into ire
limelight as congressional candidates.
As a result the reform" faction is
once more torn by internal dissensions.
1t is rumored that McNulty of Brown
county and Dillon of Yankton county
will be congressional candidates, the
decision of Boss Richards to the con-
trary notwithstanding. The reform"
leaders, the office-holders, the plum
hunters, and the majority of the insur-
gent newspapers are, of course, lined
up with the boss and will support such
candidates as he dictates, but there is
an element in the faction that resents
Richards dictatorial policy, and they
refuse to cringe when he swings the
organization lash.
1t will be remembered that four years
ago Richards was one of the states
most insistent advocates for the passage
of primary law. He flooded the state
with circular letters telling the voters
that the primary would eliminate boss
ism. And now, with the primary law
in force, we find Richards the acknow-
lodged boss of the reform" machine
despotic, egotistical boss whose will
is law with the reform" heelers, and
who names the factions candidates i'm
utter defiance of the primary law.
What a spectacle for South Dakota
to present! Never before in the his
tory of the state has any one man pos
sessed such power and authority as
Boss Richards is now welding over the
reform" machine, and that such boss
ism is more than than the rank and file
of the insurgent element can stand is
evidenced by the manner in which they
are repudiating Richards. vessey and
the rest of South Dakota's alleged
"reformers.

Editor Bronson is greatly exercised
over the statement made by this paper
to the effect that the reform" ma
chine is allied with the railroad inter
ests and denies that there is any con-
nections between the "reformers" and
the wicked corporations. If this is true
we would like to have Bronson explain
why Crawford, Gamble and Vessey find
it necessary to have Johnson, Hunter
and Way, the representatives of the
three railroads doing business in South
Dakota, attend their star chamber
meetings. And while Bronson is per-
forming his explanation stunt he might
also explain why the "refermers" did
not keep their platform pledges in re-
gard to railroad legislation. We will
admit that their legislature passed
plenty of bills along that line but they
were so peculiarly constructed that
none of them have stood the test of the
courts, and we are still paying the same
old passenger and freight rates, and
express rates have been boosted nearly
100 percent. Was it by accident or
design that those bills were so con-
structed that the courts declared them
worthless? If it was by accident, it
brands our "reformers" as ignorant
and incompetent lawmakers; and if
is was by design, then our Performers"
are the most depraved bunch of politi-
cal shysters that ever conducted the
affairs of a state.
If Editor Bronson can explain these
discriminating facts we would be pleased
to hear from him, but we believe it will
take a larger whitewash brush than he
can WELD to cover up the dirty spots
on the record of our reform" admin
istrations.

State Auditor Hirning is the only one
of our reform" state officials who has
rushed into print in an endeavor to
explain why the present administration
is so extravagant. His rush was of
short duration, however. 1t required
only about fifteen minutes for Ex-State
Auditor Halliday to shoot him so full
of figures that Mr.. Hirning was glad to
retire from the limelight of publicity
and cover up the many rents made in
his record.

The insurgent warcry during THEN
1906 campaign was the extravaganza OF
the stalwarts. Yet since they have
taken the reins of government the rec
ords show an increase of about 60 per-
cent in the cost of conducting the state
government. Why is such an increase
necessary? That is question which
the "reformers" have thus far failed
to answer.

ally wiped out. Thousands. of voters
were duped by the siren song of these
reform" spell-binders, and as a result
the state taxes have been increased to
the limit and the state has been forced
into debt nearly a million dollars in
order to pay for the extravaganza, mis-
management and incompetence. of our
reform" officials.
Every statement and prediction made
by the stalwarts two years ago has
been proven true, whereas it has been
proven that the statements and prophe-
cies of the reform" leaders were
either willfull falsehoods or they were
densely ignorant of what they were
talking about.
In this campaign they are employing
the same tactics. Their only reply to
stalwart charges of extravaganza, mis-
management and incompetence is to
state that the stalwarts are knockers, 4"
but they promise, however, that if the
voters will retain them in power they
will cut down the expenditures, taxes
and the state debt. In addition to fur
nishing these hot-air promises they are
trying to work their "Cannonism" bug
bear over time, but their efforts in this
line have thus far been an utter failure.
The ''reformers" are strictly up
against it for an excuse for their exist
ence as political organization. They
have made an utter failure of their
administration of the states affairs;
their campaign statements have been
proven false; their platform pledges
remain unfulfilled, and they come before
the voters in this campaign with slate
prepared by Crawford, Gamble, Wesley
and three railroad lobbyists and brazenly
ask the South Dakota voters to once
more vote for reform. Do you
think, Mr.. Voter that you want any
more of this Crawford Vessey-railroad-
lobby-million- dollar-per-year brand of
''reform?"

Iy stated and they are therefore

In the annual registration reports

found details in regard to the reported

DIR. Wilbur states that it is perhaps
desirable that similar details of ages
should be given in all registration re-
ports. or at least that the statement
of ages should enable the number of
decedants aged 100 years and over to
be known. Ii verified statements of
age can be secured, the evidence of
longevity should be given. Physicians
and registration officials should take
pains to ascertain the truth about
such cases. because they are of ex-
IRENE interest to the public, and many
foolish and sensational statements
pass current. 1t should be possible,

methods of obtaining vital statistics,
to determine, from the vast number of
deaths registered, the maximum span
