republican national convention. Incl
dentally they should refrain from utter
ances that can only serve as campaign
material for the democrats during the
election campaign. The speakers at
Huron evidently gave no thought to
any possibilities beyond those of the
moment. Their wild words, carrying
in the main nothing more than unwar-
ranted and absurd associations, must
make mischief before and after the
national convention next year.
1t has been alleged that the La Fol-
lette movement is being promoted at
this time without any hope of securing
the republican nomination for La Fol-
lette next year, put with the purpose
of rendering the election of Taft impos-
sible after he has been renominated.
The record of the Huron conference
confirms this view. Republicans who
do not want to disrupt and defeat their
party in 1912 in order to make an open
ing for Senator La Toilette in 1916
should go slow about joining the move
ment, however much they may admire
the craftsmanship of Senator LaFol-
lette. Sioux City Journal.

4 Tragedy

He was just dog, Mister-that's all
And all of us boys called him Bub;
He was curly and not very tail,
And he hadn't tail-just a stub.
His tail froze one cold night, you see,
We just pulled the rest of him
through.
No--he didn't have much pedigree
Perhaps that was frozen off, too.
He always seemed quite we'll behaved,
And he never had many bad fights,
In summer he used TO be shaved,
And he slept in the woodshed O.
nights.
Sometimes he would wake up too soon
And cry, if his tail got chill;
Some nights he would bark at the
moon,
But some nights he would sleep very
still.
He used to chase cats up tree,
But that was just only in fun:
And a cat was as safe as could be
Unless it should start out to run;
Sometimes he'd chase children and
throw
Them down, just while running along
And then lick their faces to show
He didn't mean anything wrong.
He was chasing an automobile
When the wheel hit right in the side,
So he gave a queer little squeal,
And curled up and stretched out and
died.
His tail it was not very long,
He was curly and not very tall;
But he never did anything wrong
He was just our dog, Mister that's
all.

anything new in the way of fractional
clashing. In the interest of harmony,
Mr.. Richards did not ask personal
Endorsement or Endorsement for his
primary plan. In the interest of har-
mony Senator Crawford appeared at
the meeting and put his shoulder to
the wheel with Mr.. Richards. That
was as far as the harmony program
went. There was some talk of letting
the matter of organization 90 over
until the 18th inst, when another
La Toilette meeting is to be held at
Mitchell under other auspices. This
talk did not crystalline into action, and
the Mitchell meeting is still scheduled
as an Independent enterprise. Appar-
emily the real differences between Mr..
Richards and Senator Crawford remain
to be fought out or compromised.
From a republican standpoint the
record of the Huron gathering does not
look at all good. As Senator La
Toilette still processes allegiance to the
republican party, the Wisconsin man
might have been advan ed for the NOM
nation in such way as to invite no
accusation of party disloyalty. Unfor-
tunately this was not done. The syn
opses Of the speeches at Huron show
that it was more of an anti-Taft than
of Pro-La Toilette meeting. The
speakers seemed to think that the
occasion called for abuse of the presi-
dent more than for praise of La Fol-
lette. The president was accused of
being a traitor 20 the people, an enemy
of the farmer and a representative of
corporate greed. The criticism of the
president was as virulent as might be
expected from the most radical demo.
cratic gathering in the heat of an inter-
party campaign. That sort of thing
was wholly out of place in a republican
gathering. 1t cannot fail of bad effect
upon republican interests.
Mr.. Taft is republican president
and is today the "titular leader" of his
party. Not only that but he is practic-
ally certain to be the republican candi-
date for president next year. Senator
Crawford is the only member of the
South Dakota congressional delegation
who is opposing him. Many prominent
progressive leaders in the state are for
Taft, as are all the regulars. Senator
Gamble says the South Dakota delega-
ton in the republican national conven-
ton will be for Taft. Whether the
South Dakota delegation goes to Taft
or La Toilette, and whether the La
Toilette following in the convention is
or fairly creditable, the
inevitable presumption is that the pres
ident will hove large majority in the
convention and will be easily renomina-
ted. All loyal republicans in South
Dakota and elsewhere should keep in
shape to support the nominee of the

Disease.

Disease.
All cases of hog cholera do not show
the typical symptoms. Generally two
or possibly three hogs appear dump
ish, the eyes watery. Later the lids
may become adherent. There may be
slight discharge from the nostrils.
In the course of week or ten days
these hogs go off their feed and are
attacked by diarrhea. The discharges
from the bowels vary in color from
black to grayish, are watery and of
very offensive Odor. They now appear
tucked up in the TANKS and possibly
humping may be noted. They rapidly
become thin In flesh and finally too
weak to move about, crawl under
some straw and die. In a few days
others become sick Those that are first
attacked now begin to die, and in the
course Of three or four weeks most of
the herd may have succumbed to the
malady unless remedial agents are ad-
ministered and the ravages of the dis
ease are checked. Pneumonia may ac-
company the disease, and when 1t is
present there may be noted accelerat-
ed respiration and short. hacking
cough.
There may be noted red or purple
patches. particularly along the belly
or TANKS. This is particularly noticed
in white skinned hogs. The ears may
become infiamed and appear red and
swollen. When the hog is opened small
hemorrhages may be observed on the
thorax and abdominal cavity. Very
small hemorrhages may be noted in
the kidneys. The lymph glands (ker-
nels) may show hemorrhages in them.
When the bones are cut open the sof-
ter, spongy parts may appear reddish
black. due to hemorrhages If the
stomach and intestines be opened
areas in the stomach will be noted
bright red. This is an area of intiam-
nation. but may not always be pres
ent The Inflammation may affect only
a part of the stomach This inflamma-
ton may extend into the intestines,
If the colon or large intestines be
opened there may be found ulcers
varying In diameter up to one-half
| inch. These usually appear button
like and are hence sometimes called
| button ulcers.
