Will meet again at Lincoln the last

the trimming prepared for Mr.. Bryan
should not be given to him in the pres

town. But presumably, no such
reason will this year prevent the dem

Transplanting Senator Crawford.

Transplanting Senator Crawford.
The people of South Dakota will
be much chagrined to learn that one
OF their senator's, Coe l. Crawford,
has secretly slipped away from them
and taken up his residence in Iowa
which state he now represents in the
upper house of congress. This seems
scarcely fair, for it gives Iowa three
senators - Cummins, Kenyon and
Crawford, and leaves South Dakota
with only one-Gamble. Just when
Senator Crawford did this, we do not
know. We only know what we have
seen in the current issue of that pal
ladium of truth, Golfers Weekly,
which in the course Of an editorial on
Land Values" takes up a discussion
by Senator Crawford Of land in Iowa
and knowingly observes:
Did Senator Crawford or any other pa
triotic citizen of Iowa ever pause to search
his soul for the reason his state was the
only one that suffered a net loss in pop
ulation during the past decade7
The Congressional Directory still
lists Senator Crawford from South Da-
kota, but what is the use to question
his residence so long as we know"
he is one of the patriotic citizens" of
Iowa?
