NO PARTY, BUT
RUNS FOR CONGRESS
DIR. RATE SAYS HE Is UNABLE
TO SAY WHETHER HE Is A
DEdOCRAT OR A REPUB-
LICAN.

DeaGiwood, S. D.rDr. Herman r.
Rate, former legislator and we'll
known in political and mining cir
cles in the Black Hills, has announc-
ed his candidacy for congress in the
June. 1912, primaries, but leaves
considerable doubt as to whether he
will run as a republican or democrat.
DR.. Rate, who for many years was
a member of the democratic party
and resided at Custer. is now a resi-
dent of Nishland, Butte county and
was a member of the legislature
from there two years ago as an in
surgent republican. In his announce
ment he declares himself a progress
sive and asserts that he does not care
whether he is called republican Or
democrat and "at this time | am
absolutely on the fence, trying my
best to determine which party is the
most progressive" He says he would
prefer to see the progressives of both
parties unite. DR.. Rate will be a
candidate against Congressman Mar
ton, of Deadwood, but whether he
run will at large or only in the west
ern part of the state, where he is
best known, will be determined by
the action of the federal congress on
the reapportionment bill now before
it.
