OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
WHERD BRANsoN STANDS.

~
When o. l.. Branson's candidacy
for congress was first acknowledged
last fall, The Republican vouched for
the fact that he would be found ad-
vocating progressive policies. Now
that he has opened his campaign and
set forth his views, The Republican
refers to his speech in Plankinton,
as summarized iE yesterdays issue
of The Republican, to su%bstantiate
fully the prediction made six months
ago.
There v was any reason to sup
pose Mr.. Branson would take any
other position. He has not made any
overnight conversions. For eight
years he has been supporting the
movement in South Dakota for better
government. In the campaign of two
years ago, both factions Of the party
made public Acknowledgement.

trines promulgated especially by the
old .insurgent" wing were hence
fortffortf to be known as the creed
of the republican party of South Da-
kota. Since Mr.. Branson was one of
the pioneers in the struggle to bring
about this result, it were an insult to
his intelligence and much more so
to his sincerity, v G to suggest that
there was ever a question as to what
constituted his political beliefs.
Yet Mr.. Branson has not found
it necessary to be intolerant in order
to hold closely his own convictions.
Since the whole republican party OF
South Dakota has become progress
sive by It's declarations, it We're pre-.
sumptuous for him to begin his cam
paign by questioning the sincerity o.
this or that class of supporters. Sure
ly he has no right to arrogate to him.

has set forth his articles of faith and

WHEN MEN AREN'T EQUAL.
M-As<-I

The Republican IS in receipt OF al
post card from Salisbury, N. c., on
which is a picture or an old negro
in ragged clothes, driving an OK and
garbage wagon. Under the picture
runs the line: "Joe Ballard, six years
chairman of the republican county
central committee" 1t is a striking
illustration of the nature of the re-
publican party in the south. The
north does not sympathiZe with the
efforts Of the southerners to dis
franchise the negroes. But there is
no reason in sense why the north
should allow such as Joe Ballard five
or ten or twenty times the voice in
the natioNal republican convention
that is given the voter in the north.
Just as an example. In the state
of Mississippi a total of 4,363 votes
were cast for Taft in the last cleo
ton. In the next national republican
convention Mississippi will have
twenty delegates. That is one dele
gate for every 21S republican voters.
In the same convention South Dakota
will have ten delegates. AS South
Dakota cast 67,536 votes for Taft
in the last presidential campaign,
this means, each republican voter in
Mississippi has just about thirty
times as loud a voice in the national
convention as the republican voter
of South Dakota.
So we have the experience of con
%templating Joe Ballard, the ragged
old negro garbage-collector, endowed
with a power in the national conven-
ton that equals that of five or ten or
thirty of the white voters of the
men are created equal, but that
doesn't mean that it should take a
score OF white voters to equal one
negro.
1T is beyond comprehension that
Intelligent men, such as compose the
national republican convention, are
willing to allow such a farce as this
to go on, year after year and decade
after decade.
