"LEST WE
FORGET"

While there are factional dlHeren'
ces among republicans, let US not for
get that PRINCIPLES ARE ABOVE
MEN.
There are great issues in this cam
psign-new and live issues and the
determination Of these issues lies be-
tween the democratic party on the
one side and the republicans on the
the other.
We must not forget that the dem
ocrstic party today stands upon the
same platform and for the same issues
that it stood for in Grover Clevelsnds
day.
The success of the democratic par
ty would bring the same disaster to
farmers, to laborers, and to business
that it brought in 1893.
Though there is a Misunderstanding
or division Of sentiment in the repub-
lican party regarding the nomination
Of President Taft. ard the action of
the Huron convention and what the
presidential electors OF this state should
do under present conditions, nc mans
opinion Of either Of these questions is
or ever has been, q test of his repub-
icanism.
We know hat democrats ali over
the state, will sympsthize first with
one faction Of the republican party
and then with the other; and will mis-
represent each faction to the other, and
will use every effort in their power to
increase these differences among re-
publicans. and will laugh behind our
backs. at the follics we commit, if
they succeed in getting a republican
TO vote the democratic ticket.
We concede that the rank and file
Of both factions Of the republican par
~ in the state are honest in their opin-
Ions; that the difference between them
u an honest difference Of opinion. and
that on moral questions Of this kind.
each man has the right to follow the
dictates Of hio own conscience.
We hold that every man 10 q repub-
lean who stands on the republican
platform in South Dakota and fights
for its principles.
The republican party and the pro-
g~re.sive party, both stand for protcc-
ton.
The democratic party stands for free
trade.
The democratic party has always
been high on promises and low on the
price of W. eat.
Believing that Theodore Roosevelt
10 the choice Of the majority Of the re-
publicans of this state, for president
and that the battle this fall in the state
and in the nation 10 between Theodore
dentiai ele tors cave declared for Roos
Roosevelt and protection, and Wood
row Wilson and free trade, our presi-
Dental electors have declared for
Roose, cit for president.
II. after the November election, we
should find that we were mistaken and
that the real battle was between MIR.
Taft and protection and Woodrow Will
son and free trade, our electors will
unhesitatingly support MIR. Taft for
president. sgains. any democrat.
II. after the election. it becomes
clear that neithe. Mr.. Roosevelt OF Mr..
TAFT can be elected president. our pres
idential electors will unheststinsly sup
port any republican on whom the par.
y can agree.
Roosevelt, Taft and LaFollette, in all
their speeches, are urging every repub-
ic.n in the nation to vote against
democracy and business di,sster.
We earnestly urge Republicans of ev-
cry faction to heed that advice.
This committee 10 heartily and ear
nestly supporting e"ery man On the re-
publican ticket nominated at the pri-
mary and in the state convention.
Stalwa:t candidates who were nomi-
mated le receiving and I'll continue
TO receive fro.I this committee the
same loyal support that progressive
repubhcans receive.
We therefore earnestly and conf
IDENTIFY ask every republican in the state
10 go to the polls in November and
cast his vote for the whole republican
tickle, in South Dakota.
