10 APPROVE AppoINTEEs

Under the provision Of the new party
primary law, it becomes the duty Of
the state republican central committee
1T its meeting in Pierre on Dec. 10 to
make the party endorsements for APP
pointment to all state appointive gov
eminent positions. All official party
Inducements have to be filed with the
secretary Of state for future reference
and transmission when present incum@
gents commission expires. No apple
cations for appointment have been filed
with the secretary Of state in anticipa-
ton Of the passage of the new party
law; hence the Held is open and unoc-
pied. The republican state central
committee is in no way restricted under
the new law from considering applica-
tions originating and presented at the
meeting; but it is mandatory upon it to
meet and to dispense the party indorse-
ments to all appointive offices. Under
the circumstances, the office may have
to seek the man in some of the follow
ing cases. The theory of the new pri-
mary law is that all party Endorsements
shall be dispensed and on file before the
legislature meets in January SO that the
party patronage shall not be used to in
f1uence legislation or the election of
United States senator.

PREACHER AND THE PICTURE

The FIRST attempt to open . Sunday
evening picture show in this city is
meeting the determined opposition Of
the ministerial association Of Pierre.
Representatives Of that bsdy appear
ed before the city commission Mon
day evening and demanded an ordi-
nance which they had prepared, pro-
hibiting the showing of moving pic
lures in Pierre on Sunday with or
without an admission fee. There is
question as to the commission
adopting their ordinance and regard
less of what action is taken by that
body, one or the other of the opposing
interests will take the question to a
vote through the initiative or refer

definitely settled as to whether or not
moving pictures on Sunday are any

The probabilities at the present time
are that a comprehensive state civil

carried through, would assure tenure of

WILL REBUkE THE THEFT
Parker New Era)

The editor has voted the republican
ticket practically solid for over a third
of a century. The republican party
has been our ideal party-fertile in
ideals and great in achievements, and
prolific in noble and patriotic mem
bership. Ever since statehood was
enacted for Dakotans, in common with
other republicans we have had the
privilege Of voting for a republican
candidate for president-until this
year. This year, a bunch Of political
buccaneers and scuttlers, masquerade
ing as republicans, and largely compos-
ed Of political suffers and "goer be-
tween the lines" captured the good
old republican ship at the late state
convention, bound and gagged the
loyal part Of the crew and turned her
guns against the republican flagship.

those who captured and controlled the
republican convention went out

The eleventh hour attempt of the
spurious electors now running at the
head Of the republican ticket to square
themselves with the republicans Will
be of no avail. Their recent offer is
Of no value to the republicans. and is
made simply for the purpose of en-
deavoring to secure votes from those
whom they have ~defrauded. This al
legged concession is being made, not
because the electors want to be de
cent, but because the handwriting on
the wall denotes the utter defeat OF
the bull moose electors who are mas
querading as republicans. Messrs.
Van Slyke and Preston are too late

the enemy's ranks for a leader and
espoused the enemy cause like Bene-
dict Arnold did for the British while
commanding the Americans at West
Point during our colonial struggle, with
this ditference-he did not try to con
tinue to wear the uniform of an Ameri-
IAN officer after his objectionable
treason for the purpose Of allnring
patriots and ambushing them into the
enemy's ranks.
Thus the republicans of South Da-
kota are DISTINGUISHED, %traitorously
robbed Of their greatest privilege
that Of a free ballot and having that
ballot honestly counted. A citizen
ship based upon any other grounds is
political death.
Whilst William Howard Taft is our
choice for president we are robbed Of
the privilege Of voting for him in any
manner or form by u bunch of politi-
cal buccaneers.
Hence, in ommon with thousands
of other South Dakotans, our harps
are upon the willows"

other republicans We will endeayor to
rebuke the theft of the republican
presidential ballot at the polls.
