MIR. SPEECH.

United States Senator Lee S..
Overman, who was selected by
Chairman Eller to preside temper
arily over the Democratic. State
convention at Charlotte on Thurs
day made a strong speech before
that body, in which he presented,
in a clean and forcible manner the
issues involved in the contest now
pending.
Senator Overman reverted to
our battle cry of 1876, and said:
"Turn the rascals out-clean out
the Augean stables" He advo-
Gated ably a tariff for revenue
only, so adjusted as to operate
alike upon all classes, all sections
and all industries; demanded
that the people shall rule; advoca-
ted the enforcement of the laws
against the unlawful trusts, and
said, eff it is right to indici the
bulls who keep up the price &C
cotton, why indict the be.r,:
whose business it is as representa-
tives of English manufacture rs to
keep the price down as low as pos
sible. The senator assut.e1 his
hearers that the Republican party
would enter this campaign mot
only badly discredited but badly
divided"
That the tarif-which the Her
aid and The Hustler has kept to
the front as the leading issue of
the campaign-was also elabo-
rately discussed by the senator,
las this paper has been doing
since congress adjourned) who
emphasized the iniquities of the
tariff law and pointed out that
whenever an election had been
held, the republicans had gone
down to defeat upon this issue.
This speech of Senator Over
mans has clearly outlined the
issues, and our regret is that every
voter in the Tenth congressional
~ ~ -
district could not have heard it.

WILL BE ANOTHER CHANGE.

Congressman Webb tells of
the inconsistent attitude Of Rep
resentative Duncan McKinlay, Of
California, a high protectionist,
who declares that American man
ufactures stand small showing in
the markets of the world and vet
advocates ship subsidy to rebuild
a great merchant marine. In one
speech he will champion Ameri-
can goods under American flags
and yet in the next will say that
our trade is dead so far as the
foreign markets are concerned
and that we must look to our
home markets. cleveland Star.
And this is the same Duncan
McKinlay who came down to the
republican congressional conven-
ton some weeks ago and patted
Mr.. Grant on the back. Of course
he wants this district and every
other one In the United States for
that matter-to send men to con-
gress who will take orders from
the bosses. John g.. Grant is a
plant tool for MeKinlay and the
interests and it is not surpris-
ing that the latter should come all
the way from Washington to tell
the people what a Splendid"
representative they sent to con
gress two years ago. But unless
all signs fail the people, instead
of Payne, Aldrich and Cannon
will have a man other than Mr..
Grant to answer the roll call on
and after March 4, 1911.

Tuesdays convention in Ashe-
vile afforded an oportunity for
hot air artists and they took adj
vantage of the chance to get rid
of all surplus explosives. Every
body was at liberty to talk and
talk they did. But when the fight
mded the trouble was over. Let
some folks cuss a little and they
will be all right thereafter.

Craig For Governor.

Charlotte Observer.
General regret was expressed
that Mr., Locke Craig Of Ashe-
vile was not able to attend the
State Democratic convention
Thursday. Mr.. Craig was i'll jr
bed at the time and hence his
absence. He had counted on at
tending and had so notified a
number Of his friends. It is in
t~eresting to recall that Mr.. Craig
is to be a candidate for the CUB
ernatorial nomination two years
hence, according to the report OF
all Of his most intimate friends
A number asked about him here
and many were the expressions
Of sorrow that he was so lndlS-
posed as to be prevented from
coming.

From all accounts of the proceed
ings that congressional conyen-
ton, held in AsheviHe on Tues
day, was near akin to the unpre-
cedened event which marked the
nomination of Russell for govern
or by the republicans in 1896.
There was, at least, this differ
ence; the congressional eonVen-
ton Tuesday was composed en-
tirely of white men, while Russell
was declared nominated by a
bowling mob of ignorant, drunken
negroes and sorry white men.

THE DEM0CRKTIC PLATFORM

O6lQOm, DCAO4C3 hdo VfLe
North Carolina democracy adopt
ed a more conservative platform
than did the state convention
held IN Charlotte on the 18th inst.
1t is the embodiment Of demo
cratic principles and rings clear
upon every issue In which the
people are interested. And there
was no quibbling over any of its
provisions, the convention adopt
ing it, without discussion, by a
unanimous vote. In referring to
that part of the convention
work the Asheville Gazette-News
independent puts it this way:
1.-TWO features of the democrat
ic platform deserves special men
ton. For the first time the party
went on record as favoring the es-
adjustment Of more agricultural
schools and the introduction of
courses of agriculture in the COM
mon schools of the state. This is
the direct outcome of a progress
sive campaign for better agricul-
tural methods waged by the de-
partment of agriculture and sew
eral members of the press.
The other highly significant
paragraph was that favoring
every movement looking to the
material betterment of the peo-
pie through internal improve
ments and Tin the language of the
platform), eve particularly ap-
prove of the work in this behalf
as done by the North Carolina
Good Roads association" 1t is
likely that this may be paving
the way for state aid in construc-
ton of the system of highways
proposed by the Good Roads as
ISOLATION"
The Raleigh News and Obser-
yer approves the platform in tota
and the editor comments thusly
upon its more important provi-
sions:
"a careful reading of the plat
form shows that it rests the claim
of democracy upon its record and
its pledges to protect all legiti-
mate enterprises and to destroy
all trusts, and points out that,
whereas the democratic admins
tration of the state since the re-
turn. of the party to power in 1900
has been such as to promote pro-
gress and prosperity, the Taft
national Republican administra
ton has failed to keep it's pledges.
wastes the peoples money, and
has witnessed industrial troubles
and made conditions harder for
men to live. No promises are
made to do strange, novel Or un-
tried Things or to give subsidies
or immunities to special interests,
but the pledge is for
Clean and Economical Govern
ment.
Educational Progress, Road
Building, Care of Insane and
Others, and Ample ApprOpria-
tons for the Confederate Soldiers.
The Fostering and Protection
Of AL Legitimate Industries and
The Destruction Of Trusts and
MoDOpolies.
Upon this platform upon State
1atters and sound pledges upon
Rational matters, the democrats
deserve to have a majority OF
10000 n the Nover.- . election,
ard all signs point t. the largest
majority in years. The candi-
dates named are worthy, The
platform is sound, the record Of
the party is good. Upon this
trinity of claims the democratics
confidently excerpts to attaet to
its support hundreds of men who
have not heretofore voted the

made of himself when he first went to
Washington and was cody taken into
camp by the Interests" against which
he had mouthed so much. Washington
and South Dakota too, will not soon
forget the laughable spectacle Coe /
made when he frantically clambered
over the fence into the insurgent camp,
after hearing with no uncertain sound
from the people of this state, who had
caught him playing tag in the back
yard of the hated plutocrats. And if
Mr.. Crawford thinks that because he
fooled "some of the people all the time
and all the people some of the time"
he can fool the people of this state
'all the time" he is badly mistaken.
Facts are facts and no amount of ora
tory or interviews can get around them.

The COMMISSION PLAN
Petition Will be Presented to
The City Council at Meeting
Monday Night.

A petition to bring the proposition of
adopting the commission plan of city
government in Webster to a vote has
been circulated this week and will be
presented to the city council Monday
night. A special election will be held
to get decision from the voters of the
city.
Yankton and Pierre voted upon the
proposition last week, and in both cities
it carried by heavy majority. The
commission plan seems to be giving
general satisfaction wherever it is in
use.
A meeting for the purpose of discus
sidg this proposition will be held at the
Commercial Club rooms at 500 o'clock
Saturday night, and all interested are
requested to be present.

REPORTER AND FARMERS GIFT CONTEST
IS AROUSNG CONSIDERABLE INTEREST

in the capacity of assistant for some
time.
Mr.. Weller has made good in the
position of superintendent, and under
his management the operation of the
plant has been most satisfactory. His
retirement was due to the fact that the
city council did not feel warranted to
pay an advance in salary asked by him,
and Mr.. Weller was also DESTROYS of
engaging in business for himself. Mr..
Boyle, his successor, is an experienced
and competent man, and the people of
Webster are pleased to note that man
of his ability has been secured to fill
the position from which Mr. Weller
retired.
Webster will not lose Mr.. Weller. In
connection with w. A. Ross he has
organized the Webster Electric Co..
which will carry on the business already
established by Mr.. Ross. They will
carry a complete line of electrical sup
plies and do all kinds of eiectricrl con-
struction work. They are both first
class electricians, and as their skill in
this line Of work is well known through
out this part of the state we predict
that the new firm will meet with the
best of success.

Some Good Advice.

Before listening to the complaints of
your children about the general fiend-
ishness of the teachers and getting all
worked up and excited over it, it is
better to reflect little. Remember
your one or a half dozen cherubs drive
you crazy about half the time, and
bear with the teacher who is making
for you intelligent men and women out
of as unpromising raw material as you
were twenty or thirty years ago. Re-
member that besides your boy, who, of
course, everybody knows is an angel,
she has to contend with that awful boy
of your neighbours and you know full
well what terror he is. Exchange.

SCHOOL OFFICERS MEET
Large Number of Day County
School Officers Attend
Meeting Wednesday

The meeting of school officers held at
the court house Wednesday afternoon
was largely attended, and was one of
the most successful meetings of the
kind ever held in Day county.
Prof. Willis of the Agricultural De-
partment of Agronomy at the Brook
ings College gave an interesting and
instructive address along the line of
educating our country boys and girls to
stay on the farm and emphasized the
fact that the best crop that can be
raised on the farm is the boys and girls.
Prof. w. A. Thompson of the Web
City Schools gave an address in the
afternoon on 'The value of the good
teacher" He bore strongly upon the
fact that many of the boys and girls in
our country schools were used by poor
teachers a great many times to prac-
tice upon in order to learn how to
teach. He also attacked the unsanitary
water pail which is commonly found in
the country school house, and that his
remarks along this line were not wasted
was shown by the fact that a number
of school directors returned home bear
ing sanitary water coolers to install in
their school houses.
Practically every school district in
the county was represented at the
meeting, and those present were unani-
nous in expressing the opinion that
they had received much valuable in
formation in the line of school work,

Many Candidates Announce
Their Intention of Captur- ~'
ing Some One of The
Twenty-SiX Prizes.

The Reporter and Farmer contest,
started last week, has aroused popular
interest to an exceptional degree. 1t
has far surpassed the most optimistic
expectations of those best acquainted
with contest openings. With the first
announcement it has attracted more
attention, stirred up more inquiry and
enthusiasm, and received more COM
ment and favorable mention than could
have been in any way anticipated.
A score and more-including many of
the most popular ladies and young men
of Day county have already signified
their intention of securing if possible
some one of the various prizes offered.
Others are merely waiting until some
friend of theirs shall have nominated
them. This, however, is not necessary
as anyone may nominate herself.
The list of contestants and their
standings will be published next week.
This list will show that the best people
of the county are interested in the
Reporter and Farmer contest.
There are different reasons for enter
ing this contest. The prizes are all
high grade and to be the possessor of
one of them would be appreciated by
any one. There are those who are in
real need of some one of these prizes.
Many young person has helped him
self to get an education through schol-
arships of the kind offered in this con-
test. Some enter the contest because
of the diversion they find in it, The
collecting of votes is pleasant recre-
alton.
Subscriptions are daily coming in to
the Reporter and Farmer office and
thousands of votes are being issued.
The merchants who issue votes are
having constant demands for the pre-
cious slips of pink paper. There are
many people already realizing that
these votes will help materially 70 put
themselves or their friends in winning
positions.
We wish to call attention TO one of
the rules governing this contest which
specifies that no emIloye of any of the
firms issuing votes in this contest will
be admitted as a contestant. All nom
nations sent in which do not comply
with this ruling will be destroyed.

South DakOta's EncyclOpe dia of
Political Information En-
deavors to Defend the Gre
formo Adm nistratiOn


In the guise of a dispatch from
Washington, dated February 10th, the
junior United States Senator from
South Dakota, Coe l. Crawford, in
dulges in two column TRADE against
the rank and file of the republican
party in this state. Mr.. Crawford is
one of those statesmen who are easy
meat for the average reporter. but
anyone conversant with his record, both
in South Dakota and Washington, will
take but very little stock in his remarks.
Not in a single instance does Mr..
Crawford mention President Taft and
appears to be piqued because the repub
licans of the state, in the conference at
Huron on February 1st, Made a
declaration in favor of the Taft admin
istration." AS the Press has repedly
stated, Mr.. Crawford and the insurgent
element in this state merely supported
Mr.. Taft for the presidency because
they knew that the rank and file of the
republican party demanded that Mr..
Taft be elected to the position, and Mr..
Crawford and his followers, knowing
that the only way they could get the
offices was by supporting Taft, did so,
not from choice but for political exped-
iency. LaFollotte or some other insur-
gent radical would have suited them
better, but there were the offices, and
so Mr.. Crawford manfully disregarded
his own personal dislike for Taft and
acceeded to the wishes of the great
majority Of republicans-for the offices
only.
Mr.. Crawford utterly disregards the
facts in talking of affairs in this state
and with his "old time holiness, auda-
city and assurance" seek to deceive
the people, just as he did when on the
stump. But by this time the people
have discerned the wolf under the cloak
of lambs wool and the facts, and the
facts only, will prevail.
For instance, Mr.. Crawford says that
his legislature passed laws reducing
passenger rates in this state. Maybe
they did, but we are paying the old
rate of three cents mile just the
same. And the immediate effect of the
Legislation regarding express rates was
to make them higher, and it has only
been since the first of the present year
that express rates have been lowered.
He says that state officers pay rail-
road fare now, whereas travelling on
passes was the rule before the insurg-
ents went into power. But he forgets
that now, not only do they draw sala-
ries, but their travelling expenses are
