Considerable prominence is Civ,
en- in press dispatches to the posi-
ton of South Dakota in reference
to the presidential nomination of
1912 and the Washington Times
declares that word has been re-
ceived from South Dakota that the
progressive leaders in that state
have gotten together a program
and hope to carry the state for
LaFollette. e.' The political author
tiles, who are analyzing all these
statements at this time are inclined
toward the belief that a great
many of the political opinions be-
ing advanced, as to the way in
which certain western states will
vote, are due entirely to the atti-
tude of certain United State SEN
ators. 1t is pointed out that Sen
ator Crawford's announcement
that South Dakota would prove to
be an anti-administration state is
not likely to entire y settle the
matter, as it is believed that the
great mass of people who will do
the voting may not agree with
Mr.. Crawford.
Mrs. Taylor, wife of the con-
gressman from Colorado, told a
Washington group recently that
"Colorado women take their du-
ties seriously - She explained that
prominent bookseller of Denver
told her that after the right to vote
had been conferred on women, he
had sold about ten times more
books on political economy, poll
tical history, parliamentary law,
and these allied themes in six
months than he had disposed of in
ten years previous. Mrs. Taylor
declares that the clubs maintained
by the women in Colorado have
given splendid instruction to the
novice in her duties and she be-
lieves that responsibility cast upon
the members of her sex in her
state is met in an intelligent way
by women to whom great issues
may be safely trusted" Mrs. lay
lor is one of the wives of congress
men who believes that the official
duties of their husbands should
not separate them in their com
panionship and she has therefore
become a central figure in Wash
ington society, and is very popular
among her associates.
The old timers about the Cap
ital have discussed the manner il
which Speaker Champ Clark wa
entertained by the people of Pix
county on his return home, and l
is recalled that no such demonstra
tions among ones neighbors hav
taken place in the affairs of publl
men since the days when William
Mckinley was received by tn
whole population of Canton, Ohio
Whatever may be the politica
views of the speaker, there ap
pears to be no difference along a
classes of people when it comes t
honoring the man for his ow
sake rather than on account OF hi
position or political prominence.
There was a hearty tone in th
manner of Governor Lee Cruce G
Oklahoma, who while here, d'
clared that Il would not swap m
lob as Governor of Oklahoma, f(
the combined job of two Unite
States senator's. Governor Cruz
expressed the fond hope that h
party would have nothing to !
with new tangled proposition
during the 1912 campaign al
said that if ''the democratic part
returned to the o,d-fashioned Jac
sonian democracy" that it wou
come out with flying colors.
