Those republican newspapers, pro
gressive" or otherwise, who are not
willing to abide by the results OF Che

ty, IL it Is to be Justified at all, is tin
the hope Of securing the adoption (0f
certain principles. 1t is struggle
for possession Of the party, for the
writing Of its platform, the wording

the party believes it more practicable
to remain in the party and endeavor
TO secure control of il than to go
over 10 the opposition party. If this
is their purpose, then they should
play the game according to the party
rules. They are permitted to oppose
any aspirant for republican nomina-

the candidates have once been nomi-
mated, they are expected to declare u

The progressive" has been the in

minority in many states. 1t is this
faction, then, that has had the most

And yet there is not q single ''prO-
gressiVe" leader who has ever gone
behind the returns of primary cleo
tiOn. Every one of them, including
such militant characters as LaFollette
Cummins and BriStow, has been true

named. Therefore any progressive"
papers in this state that are not loyal
to the parly'S nominees, are running
directly counter to the example of
their own leaders. There is neither
precedent nor excuse for such con-
duct. 1t bears repetition TO say that

COL. ROOSEVELT PROGRESSIVE sTAL-
NART

Unless the Argus-Leader IS very
much mistaken, the insurgents Of
South Dakota are bit previous in
claiming Col Roosevelt as one of their
number. Col. Roosevelt is progressive;
he is not an inSurgent. The colonel
himself defines the difference.
"An insurgent," said Col. Roosevelt
to the editor Of the Argus Leader, lis
progressive with the bride off," IAN
insurgent, " he added, sis progressive
who exceeds the speed limit" Col.
Roosevelt would like to assemble under
one banner the sane and level headed
insurgents and the progressive stalwarts
and eliminate the wild-eyed and danger
Gus elements on the one hand, and the
mOSSbacks on the other. CCl. Roosevelt
is in favor of the short ballot, which
the Argus Leader has advocated for
years but which the insurgents of this
state oppose. He regards the misuse of
in this state us an absurdily. He is OPP
posed to the reelection of Cannon as
speaker, a position TAXI en- by the stalwart
Argus Leader months before the June
primary. He has given the Argus
Leader an authorized interview, which
Colonel Roosevelt dictated to the edi or,
urging all republicans to vote for YES
sey, Martin and Burke, the nominees of
the primary, though Col. Linn and
several others in the S'ate are urging re-
publicans to vote for democratic candi-
dates for congress. On the tariff queS-
tion in his Sioux Falls speech he de-
clared that the new tariff law was as
good as could be expected under the
present system of tariff making, and he
believes that really satisfactory tariff
will never be secured until it is done
through the tariff commission. This is
exactly the position of President Taft,
and Col. Roosevelt specifically endorsed
this portion of the Taft administration
at Sioux City, and inferenlially did the
same at Sioux Falls. The insurgents of
this state would plunge the country in
to an immediate general revision of the
tariff, but Col. Roosevelt favors the re-
vision of the schedules which are wrong,
leaving untouched the schedules which
are right-exactly the position of Taft.
Col. Roosevelt is opposed to Aldrichism
on the one hand and extremism on the
other, but he sees no reason to fear a
progressive like Cummins nor stalwart
like Lodge, or Root. He is against the
s. s'alwartiSm of Uncle Joe Cannon, but
does mol shy at the stalwartism of
Walter |. Smith. II the Argus-Leader
has properly judged the purpose Of the
colonel's present trip through the west,
it is, if possible, to clear republican
politics of deceptive definitions and to
line up under safe and sane leadership
all republicans who are willing 10 make
progress in the right direction and who
do not want to ''exceed the speed limit

HiIIliard and Amber Wight in New
Play

"All For Her." Hilliard Wight s
humorous play, which will introduce
himself and Miss Amber Wight to the
public at the Opera House on next Mon
day, Sept. II, has been conceived in the
happiest vein of comedy; the drama has
been constructed about one of those
wholesome characters that are Lypically
American, and yet national, in thought,
word and deed, and in whom The great
national spirit is paramount above all
else. The character has been placed as
native of the world, rather than any
special locality, and surrounded on
every hand with the romantic settings OF
the civil war, contrast that lends
added charm to every theme OF the play,
highly humorous, strongly dramatic and
intensely gripping.

THE NEWSPAPER CONTEST

The modern prize contest, The news
paper Marathon, has grown wonder
fully in popularity during the last
decade, and there are certain specific
and we'll grounded reasons for the
willingness with which the public
takes hold and co-Operates with the
newspaper in making the contest a
success. This the people would not
do II there were not something that
appealed to them, beyond the allure
ments OF all other so-called guessing
and prize contests. Some of the dis
tinctive features of newspaper con-
test are the following:
Equal opportunity for all, young and
old.
Greater value of prizes in proper
tion to the risk taken,
Pleasant and profitable work while
contesting fol the prizes.
Enltsting the interest and co-opera
tion of friends of contestants, giving
them an opportunity to assist without
any expense to themselves.
Prizes given for earnest effort with
out any money reQuirments or en-
trance fee.
In many so-called guessing contests
the contestant is required TO speno
valuable time in counting dots or some
equally foolish and pro6tless under
taking. In the newspaper contest the
participants engage in legitimate and
interesting work, acquiring thereby an
experience that is of value to Them.
The reason why the newspaper CAP
outdO any other concern in Offering
valuable prizes at little or no cost 10
the winners, is contained in the magic
word, circulation" The circulation
of newspaper is it's chief asset. Its
value to the newspaper grows in an
| increasing ratio as the thousands OF
subscribers are added to it's list. Cir
culAtions are usually built up by the
work OF travelling representatives, who
| are placed in the field at great ex-
pense. BY adopting the contest meth
cd OF increasing circulation, The news.
paper saves this constant expense and
is thus enabled to pay well in valu.
able prizes for the work done by CON
| testants. The fact that a subscri ber
once gained for a live, up-tO-date
newspaper like the Sioux Falls Daily
Press, usually remains a subscribe
for many years, gives added value Il
the new subscribers and justifies the
expensive prizes offered.
One OF the most satisfactory feature
OF the contest from the standpoint O
the public, is the manner in which tht
contest is conducted, the full publicit,
given to the same, and the absolut
guarantee of fairness and eauitabl
treatment for all. This comes abou
through the newspaper being loca
institution which would be damage
more by any sharp practice or unfai
treatment of anyone participating /
the contest than any profit it coul
make out OF the undertaking. --Sio1

it is indeed refreshing 10 observe that
