BYRNE IN REPLY
TO ECAN'S SPEECH
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR SAYS
HIS OPPONENT HAS DECEIVED
ABOUT EXPENSES OF THE
STATE.

Clark, S. D.-Lieutenant Govern
or Frank NJ. Byrne spoke in Clark
last night. The laroe opera house
was packed and the audience gave
him the closest attention for nearly
two hours and then seemed 10th to
have the meeting closed. The speech
was a presentation of what had been
accomplished by the legislature dur
ing the last six years on behalf of the
people and showed what progressive
republicans stood for in the state
and nation.
Byrne answered every one of Egg
an S charges of extravaganza and said
that if Egan shoul dsucceed in abol-
ishing every office he said he would
abolish, he would not save one penny
to the state except two officers, mem
bers of the board of charities and
corrections whic hwould not save to
exceed 100000.
He further showed that the aboli-
| tion of the other offices that Egan
prom sed to remove would reduce
| the revenue of the state more than
$10,500 which was now mostly
paid by nonresident hunters. FIe
showed the necessity OF the two-cent
fare bill and the litigation that had
grown out of it, first because the
railroads could afford to give the
two-cent fare and would make mon.
ey on that rate and second, because
it was necessary to get the fact:
and proofs of the value of the rail
road property, the amount received
and paid out in the transportation o
passengers, and the value of thu
property used in the transporta
tion of passengers, and the methot
of bookkeeping of the railroad com
paines before they could get a jus
basis for a reduction in the freigh
rates.

McCutin, Okla.-One hundred and
five lives is accepted as the approx
mately correct estimate of the hu-
man toll taken yesterday when mine
No. of the San Bois Coal company
here was wrecked by an explosion.
OF 116 men of the days shift
only II are known to be alive. In
the opinion of government experts
and mine officials, 1o5 are dead. The
special train which brought physi.
clans and nurses from TT. Smith

hope that some of the imprisoned
men might be found alive.

100000 Men Involved
in the Bituninous
Coal Region
WAGES IN DISPUTE
Miners Ask for an Increase OF
10 Per Cent. and for
Shorter Hours

Cleveland, O-The demands OF
the 200, 900 miners in the bitumin-
Gus coal regions OF western Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois for
a 10 per cent increase in pay and
shorter working hours We're voted
down by the operators today.
AS a final effort to prevent a pro-
longed shutdown of the mines af-
ter April |, and possible a strike
the whole dispute was. then referred
to & subcommittee composed OF
eight miners delegates and eight
operators, to convene at a. m. to-
morrow. Both operators and min
ers declared, after the union de-
mands had been reviewed, that the
whole situation throughout the coun-
try was grace. The wages of more
tnan 100000 union miners, after
April !, are in dispute, and the coal
output of the country is involved.
The number of men and mines in
volved are:
Western Pennsylvania, 10000
miners; $50 mines.
Ohio, $4,000 miners; $50 mines.
Indiana, $4,000 miners; 147
mines.
Illinois, 10000 miners; &20 mines.
The number of miners in other
states, who it was said, would ne
cessarily have to suspend because
of no basis upon which to fix their
agreements, which also expire April
/, are: Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkan-
sas, and Kansas, comprising the
southwestern district, 10000 min
ers; Iowa, $1,000, and Michigan,
~ 900.
The operators assert that a sus-
pension of the mines which employ
union men would still leave at work

ginia, central Pennsylvania and cen
trail Tennessee nearly 100000 min

Some Independent operators hav
already signitied their intention o
granting a partial increase, howev
er, and the assumption is that som
similar action may develop from tn
future meeting.

Frank Fields, a iaiter, was the first
to venture out. He was walking in
an entry and heard the explosion. He
said he jumped into a die room and
later made his way TO the mine open
ing. Nine other miners escaped
through runway A ''rope-ider"
who was coming to the surface when
the explosion occurred was the elev-
enth man to escape.

and ought to govern them; and who
protect various classes of the peo-
pie from the whole people. That is
the old, old doctrine which has been
acted upon for thousands of years
abroad. and which here in America
has been acted upon sometimes OPP
emily, sometimes secretly, for forty
years by many men in public and in
private life, and | am sorry to say
by many judges; u doctrine which
has in fact tended to create bull
warll for privilege, bulwark un-
just protecting special interests
against the rights of the people as
a whole. This doctrine is to me a
dreadful doctrine; TO rits effect is,
and can only be, to make the courts
the shield of privilege against popu-
lar right. Naturally, every uphold
er and beneficiary of crooked privi-
lege loudly applauds the doctrine,
1t is behind the shield of that doc
trine than crowded clauses creep in
to laws, that men of wealth and
power control legislation. The men
OF wealth VIII opraise this doctrine,
this theory, would do we'll to remem-
Der that to its adoption by the courts
is due the distrust so many of our
Wage-WOrkerS now feel for the
courts. l deny that that theory has
work so we'll that we should continue
it. | most earnestly urge that the
evils and abuses it has produced cry
aloud for remedy; and the only rem
edy is in fact to restore the power
to govern directly to the people, and
to make the public servant directly
responsible the whole peorle-and

Endorsed Sioux Falls List.

Resulting from the discussion it
was decided by the convention to-
endorse the list of delegates selected
at the sioux Falls convention, and
not make any recognition of the
Grigsby movement.
Colonel Grigsby and twelve of the
accredited delegates to the conven-
tion held a meeting in the Sherman
house, where they decided to place
a strictly Roosevelt delegation in the
field. A committee of three was
chosen to select these delegates and
to file the list. This committee is
composed of H. c. Preston, of Nit
chell, n P. Bromley of Redfield, and
! c. NJ. Harrison, of Sioux Falls
1t is asserted by the Grigsby sup
porters that the eyes of Mr.. Bass
were opened to a marked degree on
the political situation in this state,
and that he was impressed with
the statement that Grig by and not
Roosevelt in South Dakota. 1t is
further asserted by the Grigsby fol-
lowing that the convention held wa;
|packed with LaFollette supporters,
and that they were all in favor of
the list of delegates named at Sioux
Falls.
1t was the s,lpposition that the
LaFollette Roosevelt convention
would take the action of eliminating
LaFolette's name from the ticket
and that Roosevelt would receive
the unanimous support of the Sioux
Falls delegation, taking the state
ment of John Sutherland, ISSUED
from Sioux Falls few days ago, a.
criterion. The convention, how
ever, decided to remain steadfast t.
the LaFoliette-Roosevelt Progressive
Republican motto.
