NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
Are Hopeful of Success In the FaI
Election Because of Dissension
In Republican Ranks.
(Herald Special. }

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 19.-The mem
bers of the democratic state commit
tee, together with a number of othe
party leaders of prominence, assem-
bled at the Grand Union Hotel here
today to decide upon the time ant
place for holding the state conven
ton The indications are that Sara
toga, about September 20, will be de
cided on for the gathering, although
Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse art
bidding for the convention.
Among those assembled for the con
never before has the democratic out
look in New York been more hopeful
The recent reorganization of the
state committee, the tendency of the
old-time leaders to withdraw into the
background and the general trend of
public sentiment toward the demo
cratic standard has greatly cheered
the party leaders and given them a
feeling of confidence in the results of
the November election.
The high cost of living, dissatisfac-
ton with the tariff and resentment
against the republicans for alleged
Encouragement of state affairs are
cited by the democrats as contribu-
tory causes that will insure a bitter
contest this fall, with the chances of
success favoring their party.
The evident harmony among the
democrats this year, as contrasted
with the almost hopelessly divided
position of the republicans, is regard
ed by politicians of both parties as of
deep significance. The majority of
the republicans are ready to admit
that their party is split almost as
badly as it was in the great stalwart
half-breed feud, and with little pros
pect at present of being able to get
together before election.
The democrats appreciate the fact
that their hopes of success will be
greatly strengthened by the choice of
an able candidate for governor
Should Mayor Gaynor of New York
City survive his wounds it would
seem almost certainty that he will
receive the gubernatorial nomination
At present he is the most talked of
democrat in New York, if not in the
entire country, and his name COM
pletely overshadows those of Osborne,
Ravens and others who have been
mentioned as possibilities to head the
democratic ticket The nomination
will be made with an eye to the fu-
ture, as democratic state politics in
New York this fall will have dis
tlnct bearing upon democratic ma
tional politics in 1912.
The boom for Gaynor for governor |
may take such impetus now as to |
sweep everything aside and result in |
a genuine demand of the people for
his nomination. In such event, the
belief is general that the mayor would |
accept the nomination.
With Gaynor nominated in such |
with harmony in the demo-
cratic ranks, barring Hearst's opposi-
ton; with the republicans split into
factions, and with the general unrest
and resentment of the people against
the party in power, the betting odds,
it is believed, would be largely in
favor of Gaynor carrying New York.

CAMPAIGN PLATFORM
5 Ready to Meet Opponents
on Question Of Alleged
Extravaganza.

to go before the Republicans of this
state to defend the present administra-
ton in regard to the Gross Misman.
agement Of State Expenditures
Il can easily show that the state,
during this administration will be run
within its provided revenues and that
too, by making the state tax levy no
greater than the levy during the ad-
ministration of Governor Elrod."
He further says that a sufficient levy
should be made this year to pay off
all of the state debt coming over to
the present administration.
II shall be glad TO compare the
work Of and the influence that con-
trolled the Legislature of 1905 with the
legislature Of 1909, and leave it with
the party as to whether or not they
wish to return to the old order of
things.
do you believe the progressive prin-
ciples will win in this state?" the gov
ernor was asked.
81 most assuredly DO. The people
will take no backward step in their
onward march.
what, in your Judgment, will be the
effect of the coming campaign If car
ried on along the lines already out
lined by the stalwart papers?"
1T is anything but proper to con
denim the proper appropriation for add
ing new buildings when they are so
badly needed at our different state
institutions. 1t is certainly detrimen-
tai to hinder the building up of this
new and great state, by preaching
false economy. We have one of the
grandest states in the Union; we are
young and comparatively new and 1t
is now that We should build perman-
ent,y for the future. The same rule
that guides a city council in building

AGAINST A CHANGE.

~Precedents and custom rule in Amer
ica to a large degree If not as extern
sively as in older Europe. The prop
osition to change the inaugural date
net with determined opposition and
some very good reasons were advanced
against it. In an effort to get around
these objections. the friends Of the
movement for inaugural ceremonies at
a more favorable season, introduced q
bill in the house providing that public
ceremonies in connection with the in
auguration be held on the last Thurs.
day in March. This bill gets around
the objection that a change in the
inaugural date would change the term
of office of the president and materi.
ally affect the time OF holding the SEES.
sions of congress.
The idea was to have the president
aid vice president take the oath OF
Office at the usual time In the house OF
representatives and hold the public
inaugural later on. but having opposed

the congressman seemed disposed TO
let the matter drop and go on holding
the public inaugural regardless of early
March billiards.. The commissioners
of the District of Columbia reported
unfavorably on the latest proposition
and the matter undoubtedly will be
dropped for a good while If not per-
m%anently.
Probably no one is so much con
cerned over the inaugural date as the
people of the city of Washington, who
ailege that the capital has a hard
name as % weather, because It nearly
always now or rains on the date
when there are the most visitors to

DISTRICT
IS REARRANGED
PRESIDENT ORDERS CHANGE OF
BOUNDARIES.
TIME OF FILING EXTENDED
FROM APRIL ITO MAY I DUE TO
THE HARD WINTER.

An executive order Of President
Taft was made public Thursday rear
ranging the boundaries OF the Dakota
land office districts so as to include
the Standing Rock and Cheyenne Riv-
er reservations in the Aberdeen and
lennon districts. The order of the
president requires all the selections
to be made at Aberdeen, which means
that the city will be the host to fully
10000 entrymen the coming spring.
The time for filings, has been extended
from April l to May 1. The selections
will begin at Aberdeen. This order
Of the president practically precludes
the creation Of a new land district In
South Dakota, with an office at lie
Beau, in view of the secretary of the
Interiors recommendation that the
Aberdeen Office eventually be moved
20 some new government townsite,
which is to be developed on the reser-
vations. In the meantime, however,
Aberdeen will reap a harvest from the
thousands Of entrymen who visit that
city in May. After the selections have
been made at Aberdeen settlers will
make future filings at the land office
nearest their farms, either at Lennon
or at a new townsite yet to be Sc
lected.
In brief, the presidents order attach
es to the Aberdeen district all the
lands in the Standing Rock and Chey-
enne River reservations open for set
Element except three townships in the
Bismarck district and twenty addition
q! townships attached to the Lennon
district. Part of this land is taken
from the Pierre district. The new
boundaries for these land districts are
described as follows in the presidents
order:
All that part Of Standing Rock res
~eryation west Of the range line be-
tween ranges "a and So west, 9Th p. m.
nov in Bismarck district, to be made
part of the Lennon district. All of
Standing Rock reservation in South
Dakota with the exception of town
ships 10 to % north, inclusive, ranges
II to % east, inclusive, to be made
part OF the Aberdeen district. In ad-
dition to the Lennon district are
townships 10 and 20 north, ranges II
TO % east.
Chairman Burke. of the Indian COM
mittee, reported favorably to the house
Thursday the senate bills for opening
about $500, 900 acres Of Rosebud and
Pine Ridge reservations in Mellette
and Bennett counties, respectively.

E. c. ERIcsoN's DEATH
GREAT LOSS TO STATE
President Of the Board Of Regent
a Well Know Lawyer and
Good Citizen.

The death of Hon. l.. c. Ericsson of
Elk Point, of which W. ma 'e mention
last week, occurred at the home OF DR..
Spafford at F~landreau. where he had
gone to consult the doctor regarding
his health.
Mr.. Ericsson has been In poor health
for some time, and while in the east
recently consulted a specialist, who
found a weak heart condition. He
went to Flandreau last Saturday to
consult pr. Spafford and at about noon
Monday he had a severe attack which
left him in a serious condition. He
passed away Tuesday morning. Mrs.
Ericsson ana daughter and Charles
Stickney, law partner of Mr.. Ericsson,
were summoned from Elk Point and
were present when his life passed
away. The remains were taken to
Elk Point and the funeral held on
Friday.
The death OF T.. c. Ericsson OF Elk
Point, marks the passing of one of
the strong men of the state.
TO know him personally vas a priv
ilege accorded to many, to know him
intimately, a blessed influence.
Born in Sweden nfty-four years ago
at an early age his mother, who still
survives him, brought him to America.
where by his own industry he educat-
ed himself and by close application to
the duties OF his profession he long
since took first rank among the law
yers of the state.
Plain, unassuming, yet always digni-
fed, he won the confidence and admir-
alton of client and opponent alike.
AS a citizen he stands as a splendid
example. He early took an active
interest In the affairs Of his city, coun-
ty and state. He was elected county
superintendent, mayor Of Elk Point,
member of the territorial legislature
and delegate to the republican nation
al convention at Minneapolis. But his
later work as president Of the board
OF regents OF the state, which position
he held at the time OF his death, was
by far the most important of all his
public activities. To this position he
brought all Of his strong, vigorous per-
sonality, his keen business judgment
and splendid character. 1t is not say.
ing too much when 1t Is asserted that
every student with whom he came in
contact Is better for the influence OF
his clean cut personality and strong
manly characteristics.

LIE BEAU is
TURNED DOWN
FEDERAL LAND OFFICE TO STAY
AT ABERDEEN.
BAlLINGfR FILES REPORT
HE DECLARES CHANGE WOULD
BE IMPRAcTIcAeLE.

The secretary of the interior filed
his report with the house committee
on public lands Thursday, which. ii
is believed, puts lie Beau out of furth-
err consideration as a site for the new
government land Office In South Dako-
ia, says a Washington dispatch. The
report strongly recommends that con
gress continue the land office at Aber-
deem for the present, and attach to
that office the lands for which il has
been proposed to have filings at lie
lands in the western part of the Stand
ing Rock reservation. 1t is suggested
in the report OF the secretary that
when a suitable government townsite
is established in the territory about to
be opened the land office may be moved
there from Aberdeen by executive or.
der, but until the new town Is capable
of handling the business Of the land
office he urges that 1t remain at Aber-
deem.
The senate already has passed Sena-
tor CANDLES bill locating the new land
office at lie Beau, and Representative
Martin has a similar measure pending
in the house. When the Gamble bill
reached the house committee on pub
lie lands it was referred to the secre-
tary of the interior for advice in re-
gard to locating the office at lie Beau,
and his report today is in answer to
the committees request.
Secretary Ballinger is quite emphat-
ic in his report that it would be inn
practicable 10 locate the land office at
lie Beau at this time in view OF the
fact that fully 10000 persons will have
to register there. He points out thai
lie Beau has only one railroad ana
.ldt It is necessary to cross two rive 3
and trespass on four miles of reserva-
tion land for entrymen to reach that
town. On the other hand the secro-
tary's report shows Aberdeen has eight
lines of railroads radiating from it,
and already has the land office we'll
equipped to handle business.
In view of this report from the sec
rotary of the interior it is expected
the house committee will recommend
the continuance Of the Office at Aber-
deem, until removed to some new gov
eminent townsite by order of the pres
ident.
Senator Gamble had passed in the
senate today the Burke bill increasing
the payment to the Standing Rock and
Cheyenne river Indians for school lands
from 1925 to $3.50 an acre in conform
ity with the original agreement with
the Indians. This increases the appro-
priation for these Indians upwards OF
5000, 900.
