MACHINE ACTION
CAUSES TROUBLE
INSURGENTS LEFT OFF SLATE
DlSGRUNTLEO AT ACTION OF
STATE MACHINE.
SAY It IS NOT A SQUARE DEAL
Claim is Made That Just as Good Pro-
gressives as Those on the Slate
Were Left Of by Machine

Pierre. May 25-Whatever the heat
of the primary campaign in this state
up to the present, it has been cool
compared with the result Of the So
called slate sent out by Roosevelt
headquarters at this city, which they
recommend as the proper list for the
voters Of the state to select on the
fourth of next month. They start
with Sterling for senate; Dillon and
Curtiss for congress-; Byrne for gov
crnOr; Van Osdel for lieutenant gov
ernor, Hepperle for secretary of
state; EWart for treasurer, Murphy
for railway commissioner: Gates and
Policy for supreme court judges. This
move is what has started things right.
Others who claimed to be progressive
are in the campaign, and they claim
they are just as good progressives as
are the list selected, and that any at
tempt to discriminate against them is
the work Of machine and boss meth
DDS, which are against the true pri-
mary principles, and the list puts it
up to the people as to whether they
believe that the primary should be Sc
lectiye or the tool of bosses. Then
there is the old stalWart faction
which claims that there was a tenta-
tive agreement that no factional
line up was to be attempted this
year, and among them many have
been supporting Byrne for governor.
But now that he has entered into
such an agreement as against their
friends, they say they cannot longer
support him. The other side Of the
proposition takes the issue that no
campaign organization can be kept up
without a ticket the members of
which are willing to bear the eXpen-
ses of keeping headquarters in ex-
istence, and that they are within their
rights in sending out the list above,
and no one has any just ground of
complaint. But regardless of that
proposition, the sending out of the list
has stirred politics in this state to an
extent beyond anything which has
yet developed in the campaign, and
while the list names may gain, they
may also lose on ccount of the ones
they leave out, and there you are.

BABY WILEY

The general public has taken such
a keen interest in the affairs of DR..
Wiley for so many years, even when
those affairs were most personal, that
he will have to pardon the effort,
which is already apparent, to help him
raise the baby. According to a usage
long established, no new baby can
come into the community and be al
lowed to Just grow" Suggestions as
to the best method of raising babies
come as naturally from all sorts and
conditions of people as do recipes for
curing a cold They are all different,
but each is infallible.
According to all the laws of hygiene,
the pure food baby should have a
model infancy. In his capacity as
head of the family the proud father is
already outlining the regimen which
is to be pursued. The young hopeful
is not to be coddled too much or wean-
ed too soon. 1t is to be taught self re-
lance and self denial at a time of life
when other infants are INDUCED in
vocal cravings for the moon 1t is to
lead a prophydactic eXistance in a
strong and prosper. 1t is not ventur-
ing too much to say that there are
NannrnhIn nnnfhnrg nf fnnr oirlc md
five or six boys or so, scattered
throughout the country, who will hear
with lofty scorn of the scientific by
laws by which Baby Wiley is to be
raised. Serene in the confidence that
a peck of dirt and an abundance Of
catnip tea are sufficient to bring any
baby to healthy maturity, they will
look down upon the theories borrowed
from the laboratory. A congress of
experts could not persuade them hat
chewing the paint off a tin rattle and,
later on, sneaking forbidden fruit
from the green apple tree do not, OF
the whole, conduce to long life. That
chartered wildling, the barefoot boy
with cheeks of tan, still remains the
ideal.
OF course, it isn't true, and the ex-
perts have allowed us now and then
to look through the microscope and
see that germs are the pestilence
which walketh in darkness and the de-
struction that wasteth at MONDAY, but
the tradition will survive. Let us
hope that Baby Wiley, in spite of his
scientific raising, will ~disappont the
predictions Of the catnip school and
grow up with nothing more than the
normal amount Of aches in his tum-
tum and the pains of teething. Ger
tainly a large circle OF friends look on
with anxious interest and, sharing the
common admiration for "our little
selves reformed in finer clay" wish
the pure food baby a ripe old age

AN IMPORTANT OFFICE

At the primary next Tuesday the
republican voters Of Brookings City
and BrOokings and Mcdary townships
will be called upon o select a candi-
date for county commissioner from
this commissioner district. The great
bulk of the vote in this district comes
of course, from this city, and it is of
the utmost Importance that we select
the proper man for this important Of
fee. Questions will arise during the
next few years that make it imperi-
tive that We have the right sort of a
mar to represent this district on the
board, and We believe that the voters
can do no better than to return the
present incumbent, ]. l. Jarvis.
Mr.. Jarvis has served on the board
during the past three and a half years,
one of the most important periods in
the history of the county, and has we'll
represented his district. During this

lance have come up and are as yet I'M
finished and it is of first importance
that this district be represented by a

morals Mr.. Jarvis has always been on
the right side, in conformity with the
sentiment of the great majority Of his
constituents, and his record on this
one issue entities him to the support
of every good citizen. A vote for Mr..
Jarvis means a vote for a cleaner and
better county government.

attempts have been made to make the
senate a popular body, but the resolu-
tons have unanimously died in con-
mittee rooms, or the stranglehold has
been applied at some subsequent
stage of the proceedings. The meas
ure, as passed, is distinctly a republi-
a proposition, as the so-called 'Bris-
tow amendment which was adopted
by the senate in July. and which
threw the bill into conference between
the two houses, is simply q reitera-
ton of the republican position which
was clearly defined in the lower house
last summer When the present
measure first came before the house
Of representatives, the republican
members insisted that the control of
elections of senators should remain
with the federal government, but the
southern democrats aided by their
northern brethren, hardened to the
ancient doctrine Of states rights, and
decried hat the states, and not the
government, should control elections
of senators. In this form the measure
passed the lower house almost a year
ago; but the senate, while %cOncurring
in the principle Of direct elections,
refused to surrender the ~prcrogative
of control to the states. On July
9th, 1911. conference committees Of
the two houses met and the result is
that the republican position as en-
pathized by the senate action in
amending the House bill has finally
position taken by the House in behalf
of states rights, every republican
member voted for the senate bill, and
most of the democrats swung into
line; but there were thirty-nine of the
old-time democrats who are still
fighting the civil war, and these could
not give up their pet theory of state
supremacy. The passage of the di-
rec election proposition in the House
is universally regarded as a wonder
full victory for popular government.
Direct elections have not yet beer
accomplished, but instead a consti-
tutional amendment has simply been
submitted to the states, and the peo-
pie will have to determine for them
selves whether or not they wish, by
their own ballots, to elect their rep
resentatives to the upper House.

hearsed by senators recently, and

 Crisis

Atlanta. May 31.-Characterizing the former president as a bungier' eN-uos Frank Manley of Indiana, asserted that had Roosevelt held the presidency dur inc inc Mexican crisis and been backed hv a nowerfui army and navy he would hava aevasted this country with war.
 The remark was made during his de- hate here last night with Richmond Pear con uobson on the question Resolved, That inc United States Should Control the Seas"
 Representative Hobson had outlined his views of the necessity for equipping this country with such naval force that war would henceforth be out of the question.
 Governor Manley declared this would mean danger internally as we'll as from foreign nations with such a man as Roosevelt in the White House.
 .The fighting man of nations he said who is now seeking the presidency again might have been in supreme power dur ing the Mexican crisis. with a power like that in the hands of a man like that, this country would have been devastated with war. His bung- ling hands would have tied knots in diplomacy which he would have tried to cut with his army and navy In speaking of the national political situation, Governor Manley predicted that W. ]. Bryan would get the demo- cratic plum.

MAYOR LANES LETTER
Greenville Mayor Declares Last Leg islature Passed Many Laws That Work Hardship in Cities by
 Exempting Licenses

Montgomery. May s1.-(special.)-In re- sponse to a letter from Judge A. o. Lane, member of the board of city commission CTS of Birmingham, asking that the heads of municipalities of the state urge Cover nor ONeal to call an extra session of the legislature for the purpose of correcting certain laws in the revenue bill. O. A. Lane, mayor of Greenville, has written to the chief executive a strong letter asking that a special session be called as early as possible.
 In his letter to the governor, Mayor Lane sets forth that the last legislature passed many laws that work hardship on the cities of the state by exempting certain corporate interests from the pay ment of licenses that heretofore consti- tuted part of the regular revenue of municipalities
 Among these corporate interests. Mayor Lane mentioned insurance companies, telephone companies. express companies, railroad companies, banks, cotton seed oil mills, automobile owners and dealers.
 These determinations. said Mayor Lane, "are especially hard on cities such do Ouio tndt HdNc pCSH oSpiAf1u SA eiS revenue heretofore realized from the sale of liquor."

 The following is the text of Mayor Lanes letter:
 9IIon. Emnet o'Neal, Montgomery, Ala:
 Dear Sir-F ceiling that our last legis- lature at it's recent session passed many laws that worked hardships on the cities of our state by exemption certain cor porate interests from the payment of licenses that heretofore constituted part of our regular revenue, I would respect fully ask and urge, in behalf of our city, that you call an extra session of the legis- lature to meet at such time as you may deem fit, that we may make an effort to correct these wrongs. In this regard l would mention, among others, those laws favorng insurance companies, express companies, telephone companies, railroad companies banks. cotton seed oil mills, automobile owners and dealers. These discriminations are especially hard on cities such as ours that have been de- prived of the revenue heretofore realized from the sale of liquor; any reduction In revenue seriously affects us.
 Knowing that you have always op- posed these unjust discriminations that favor corporate interests make this ap- peal to you, believing that you will make every effort to give us relief from such an unjust condition of affairs. Yours very truly 70. A. LANE Mayor
