FEW MAY CHOOSE AGAIN

Alexandria Herald: In the sena
torlal fight of two years hence, it
would be refreshing indeed If neither
faction of the republican party would
organize and indorse any one man
for the position. If the spirit of the
primary law is obeyed, no half dozen
men would meet in some hotel and
lay out plan Of campaign for the
voters to follow. If the voters were
half wise they would pay no atten-
ton to any plans formulated by the
organization and for once would
60 to the polls an vote for the man
they consider the best qualified for
the position.

1T WAS TAME.

Sioux Falls, July .5.-The republi
can state convention seemed to be
helplessly lost at 2:i5 in the move
ment to establish harmony between
the two factions.
Richards and Harrison of Mime.
haha had a clash early in the evening
over Richards trying to get an amend
ment to the resolutions adopted
which referred to the appointments
of officer and spoils system.
Richards amendment was defeated
by large vote.
The sentiment is that his ideas
were too much in line with the pro-
gressive platform made at Huron.
Later Dillon presented another
amendment along the same lines and
this is now being argued. The reso-
luton as reported from the commit
tee endorses Taft insofar as he has
carried out the Roosevelt policies
laud Vessey, but fails to mention
either Crawford, Martin, Burke OF
Gamble.
d. w. Dwight of Sioux Falls was
elected temporary chairman and after
appointment committees adjourned.
Chairman Wilmarth reported that
no proxies would be allowed, that
resolutions be referred to commit
tees without debate after they had
been read.
Dillon made strcng plea against
this.
Chairman Wilmarth defended the
resolutions, but the amended motion
was passed by a large vote.
Dillon talked for a long time on
progressiveism, his keynote was
''that the day is passed when a man
will stake a principle and vote for it
because party leader says so.'
w. G. Cook was elected new per-
manent chairman by large vote.
The platforms as finally adop ted
declares renewed allegiance to the
Roosevelt policies, commends the
president insofar as he has been loyal
to these policies, and declares the
new tariff law should be revised i'm
mediately. The Payne tariff law is
declared step in the right dire ection,
but should have made many reduc-
tions. 1t declares for the national
physical valuation of railroads, for
a graduated income tax, for federal
system for regulating corporation 8 !,
and for conservation of natural re-
sources. The new rules of the ma
tional house of representatives are
commended and still further modif-
cations are favored to curb the power
of the speaker.
Various state reform measures are
declared for. including the recall.

STATE CONSERVATION

Omaha Bee: The deliberation and
result of South Dakota's state con.
servation congress will arouse more
than ordinary interest,as the congress
represents the cosmopolitan citizen
ship and the varid industries of the
state and contemplates a broad scope
of activity. 1t is the purpose to ask
federal government that the coal, !,
timber and water Of the state be re-
moved from federal to state control
and that the arid land heretofore
subject to government reclamation
be turned over to the state to compen
safe for the railway and swamp land
grants given to other states.
These demands will no doubt meet
with objection, especially from those
who look askance at the general
principle of states rights, but it
need not necessarily come in conflict
with that fundamental doctrine
Until the plan of natural consevera.
tion has had time for practical opera.
ton there will, of course, be some
obstacles in its way Of state initia
tive, but it would seem that the state
could accomplish much good by CO
operating with the national govern
ment in safeguarding it's natura
resources, as each state ought to bt
intimately acquainted with it's OWL
resources, to be able to develop OF
conserve them intelligently. The
plan might also eventually have the
! very desirable effect of Tightening
the expense of the general conserva
tion movement upon the government
and, if so, then leave more money foI
carrying on of enterprises distinctly
| federal in character.

conversation congress and othel
states are liable to follow the eXampl,
| but owing to the particular situation
South Dakota's project will no doub
have vital bearing upon the action
of other states.
