SOUTH DAKOTA PRIMARY
ELECTION FIGHT BITTER
Warm Conflict Between Mnsurg-
ents" and Regulars" in
6. O. P. Ranks
INSURGENTS AFTER CANNON

Sioux Falls, S. d. June THE cam
paign for the republican nominations
for state officers and members of con-
gress closed last night and today the
primary is being held throughout the
state. The campaign has been one OF
the most partisan in the political his
tory of South Dakota and has attract
ed wide attention because OF the ex-
treme bitterness of the fight between
the "insurgent' and the "stalwart"
factions.
| Nominations are to be made for gov
ernor, lieutenant governor, secretary of
state, auditor. treasurer, commissioners
of school and public lands, attorney
general, superintendent of public in
struction, railroad commissioner and
two representatives in congress-
Both factions of the republican party
have complete state tickets i'm the field.
Governor r. S. Vessey heads the in
surgent" ticket as a candidate for re-
nomination. Former Governor $. II.
, Elrod is the "stalwart" candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination. The sit
uation i'm regards to the governorship
is further complicated by the candi-
dacy of George w. Egan of this city
who is running as an independnt I'm
the hope-of obtaining votes of many
republicans who are dissatisfied over
the bitter warfare between the two
factions.
Eben w. Martin and Charles II.
Burke. the present representatives in
congress, are seeking reelection on
the "stalwart' ticket. The progress
sive" candidates for congress are Thos.
Thorson for the eastern district and
John F. Shrader for the Black Hills
district
Alleged extravaganza on the part of
the present progressive" republican
administration is the principal SLOGAN
of the "stalwartsr in the battle for su-
premacy, while anti -Cannonism is the
main issue upon which the ''progres-
sives'' are waging their fight for con-
tinued control. The Platform adopted
by the progressive" republicans COM
mends President Taft for his reiterat-
ed declarations of loyalty to the Roose-
welt principles of progressive republi-
canism." and adds:
"The dominating issue i'm the cam
paign is the wrestling of control of ma
tional legislation from special interests
entrenched behind Speaker Cannon
of the house and leader Aldrich of the
senate. and their supporters. 1t is not
sufficient that Speaker Cannon be re-
tired. 1t is essential that a successor
be elected who is committed to and is
a supporter of progressive principles
Moth factions today express conf
dence of victory in the primaries. The
"progressives' fully believe they will
be able TO retain the offices they now
hold and capture one or two others
which are held by "stalwarts". The
"stalwarts" on the other hand, profess
confidence in their ability to rout the
"progressives'' all along the line.

Formal Charges are Laid Before
That Body Today by CuIlom
of illinois
STATE TO TRY BROWNE CASE
Judge ScanIon Docideo Against Con-
tention OF Legislator That State
Has No Observation-Disclosures
McSureIy Today.

Washington, June Formal char
ses against Senator Lorimer of Illi-
nois, were laid before the senate this
afternoon by his colleague, Cullom.
The proceeding was the presentation
OF a memorial by Clifford w. Barnes
of Chicago, presiden, ur the Illinois
Legislative Voters league, embodying
charges of bribery of members of the
Illinois legislature The memorial was
read only in part, and was referred
without comment to the committee on
privileges and elections.
SeanIon Decides Against Browne.
Chicago, June 7.-Representative Lee
ONeil Browne, democratic leader, ac-
cused of bribing legislators in the cleo
ton of Senator Lorimer, republican,
was today refused freedom on IA writ
of habeas corpus.
Judge Scanlon denied the plea that
only the federal tribunal has power to
try such a case.
Judge Scanlon remanded Browne to
the custody of Deputy Sheriff Peters
A petition for appeal was filed before
Judge Scanlon left the bench after
reading his decision. While Hancey
was arguing for the appeal Judge Me-
Surely issued a capias for Browne.
Judge McSurely later ordered the ca
pias served and Brownies bonds for
feitcd.
Announcing his decision refusing a
writ of habeas corpus Judge Scanlon
refuted practically every argument of
the defense by citing the United States
constitution and several statutes pass
ed by congress in 1866 bearing on the
election of United States senators.
Scanlon further said state legisla-
tor is a state official who derives his
right to vote for United States sena-
tors from the United States consttu-
ton.
Browne was taken before McSurely
about noon. After arriving Brownies
attorneys went outside to hold a con-
ference and left Browne alone i'm the
court room. McSurely asked Browne
where his counsel were and Browne
replied he did not know The judge
offered to appoint counsel for him, but
Browne refused Shortly after noon
McSurely ordered the examination of
the venirement to begin. Browne act
ed as his own attorney while Attorneys
O'Donnell, Hancey, Erbstin and forest
sat i'm the ante-room and refused to
discuss the new turn i'm the case.
Within a few minutes, however.
Browne was released on his own rec
ognizance and McSurely postponed the
case until 2:45 this afternoon.

Problems of Nations.

"Evcry modern civilized nation has
man. and terrible problems To solve
within its own borders, problems that

the self CONSCIOUSNESS of both poverty

these matters i'm its own fashion, ana
yet the spirit i'm which the problem is

CANDIDATE
DENOUCES THE
AMENDMENT

The R%eidsville Review says that Mr.
Dunn, Republican candidate for the
House, denounced the constitutional
amendment in severe language and
said that it should be repealed.
Exactly. Every other Republican
candidate in the State holds the same
view to which the Rockingham can
didate> gives utterance. The difference
is that the Rockingham candidate
hasn't been intimated in the policy of
pretending to believe what he does
not believe. The Buffers and More
heads, the Holtons and the Cowlesses,
the Grants INC the Meekinses go
about the State declaring hat since
the negro has been d~isfranchised there
are now two white parties in North
Carolina and the negro has been for
ever removed in politics. But only
one has been found to say he voted
for the amendment. All the rest Of
them voted against it. They are op-
posed to it now, and H. the Repub-
licans should carry the Legislature
they would open the ballot box to
negroes SO as to virtually appeal, the
suffrage amendment.
The Rockingham man is frank and
does not dissemble. The rest OF
them are trying to fool the people.
In no platform have they approved
the amendment or even said they
acquiesced in it. They dare not do
so. The Northern Republicans could
not carry Indiana, Ohio, New York,
New Jersey, Delaware or Connecticut
without the negro vote, and they will
not permit Southern Republicans to
say they favor the suffrage amend
ment. AS a matter of fact most
Southern Republican politicians wish
to have the negroes all back as voters.
They know. that their only hope to
get office in Tennessee, Virginia and
North Carolina is through a big negro
vote, and if they had the power they
would restore negro suffrage as 1t was
in 1895 when every negro boy over
eighteen years old. was allowed to
vote and live negroes were allowed TO
personate dead negroes and vote. Hol-
ton and Butler were the >chairmen
under whose rule we got negro govern
ment in 1859. They are in con-
troll of the Republican party now. If
they win what repentance have
they made to warrant the belief that
they made to warrant the belief that
they would do better?
Referring to the report that the
Rockingham candidate for the Legis-
lature denounced the suffrage amend
ment in severe terms. Webster's Week
ly saws:
'This is astounding. If Mr.. Dunn is
guilty of such language, he has not
only put his foot ahead of his party,
but has forfeited the right to the re-
speet for the white people of Rocking
ham county and North Carolina"
Rockingham voters will repudiate
the man who openly declares his po-
sition as opposed to the measure pass
ed to secure white supremacy. Other
counties will defeat Republican can
didate who add duplicity to their op-
position to white supremacy. q
