OF BIG MEN
Ousted From Taft's Cabinet
and Later Espoused Roose-
velt's Candidacy

Clifford Pinchot, chief OF tue for
estry bureau OF the department of
agriculture under President Roose-
welt and one of the original "conser-
vationists" of the United States, will
speak in Mitchell, Tuesday evening,
Oct. 1, in behalf of Roosevelt's cam
didacy.
This announcement came in a tel
egram to The Republican today,
This means that Mitchell is not
to go through the campaign without
hearing any of the big guns en-
gagged in the contest. Sioux Falls has
heard Gov. Wilson and Gov. Johnson,
the vice-presidential candidate of the
progressive party, has spoken at
Huron and Sioux Falls.
Pinchot is one of the most promin-
ent Roosevelt adherents. No man
was more intimate with Roosevelt
during his administration than was
Pinchot. Roosevelt espoused Pin
chot's ideas about conserving the
national u and the two o
them made it a big national issue.
Pinchot's Fight With Taft.
Pinchot lost his position in the
Taft cabinet as a result of the con
troversy with Secretary Ballinger o
the interior department about thu
Cunningham claims in Alaska. IL. IL
CLAWS, Il young inspector in the de
partment OF agriculture, repodtet
that the claims we're the result OF
conspiracy by a ~Guggenheim syndl
cate to obtain possession of minera
lands wohth millions of dollars. Pin
chot espoused CLAWS side of the cas-
and was discharged by Taft for in
subordination. Within the last fort
night the Cunningham claims hav
!; been dismissed as fraudulent.
Pinchot was the first man in Am
erican politics to see Roosevelt afte
his return from the African jungles
where he hunted wild game for
: year after Taft became president. Ill
> met Roosevelt in Italy and the tw
j. held long conferences, but the detail
!, OF that interview were never mad
/ public. Last winter, Pinchot was on
of the most insistent of the RooseNel
followers who wanted him to ente
the race for the republican nomln;
ton for president.
1t is probable that Mr.. PlnchG
!. will speak in the City Hall, thong
final arrangements for the mcetln
have not yet been made.

Aberdeen. S. D.A-John E. Granger
who was formerly a cross-country
runner of considerable note, has
hung up what will be known as the
Granger trophy cup, for a four-mile
cr@oss-country run which will be COM
peted for hereafter annually on
Thanksgiving day. Mr.. Granger, who
is a young Aberdeen business man,
has always taken interest in long
distance running, which he holds to
be one of the most enjoyable and
healthful OF sports, and he has hung
up the trophy to stimulate interest
in the sport. The ace will start on

UNFAIR TO

@----
Henry Anderson of Mitchell. the
most efficient state auditor South
Dakota ever had, is one of the men
whose official position is jeopardized
by the action taken by Taft men at
Mitchell, Thursday in declaring their
purpose of aiding the democratic
party in this campaign. 1t matters
not that Anderson and four others
on the state ticket were-nominally
at leastEexcepted from the list Of
those marked by the Taftites for
slaughter.
For all who took part in the Mitch
ell gathering know that to single out
part of a ticket for election and the
remainder for defeat simply invites
disaster for the whole ticket. For if
the friends of the others on the tick
ct do not retaliate, it is because they
are much less revengeful than are
those who are boiling the repub-
lican state convention.
The state committee, for example.
is in the control of friends of Roose-
welt. Yet that committee will work
Just as faithfully for the election of
one candidate on the state ticket as
for another. That is because this
committee wants to defeat the demo-
cratic ticket. This is in sharp con-
trast with the purpose of the Mitchell
gathering, which wants the election
OF the democratic ticket. Their real
attitude was expressed some time
agn by the editor of the Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader, when he said he did
MT give a hang about Burke or any
body else on the republican ticket.
So 1t is that Anderson is placed
in danger. Mitchell is especially in
terested in this because he is a Mitch
ell Imam. The whole state ought to be
interested. for he is making a record
a. state auditor that is SURE to shine
in the history of South Dakota. He
has saved the Taxpayers at least
$4,000 because he refuses to allow
any claims against the state unless

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
WILSON FOR THE TAFT PLAN

4Lt- ------- /
Nothing could much better Illus
trate the academic nature of Gov.
Wilson's political theories than his
attitude toward the trust problem.
His theory, al expounded at Sioux
Falls and Minneapolis, is that the
trusts should be destroyed. At least,
that is as nearly as his belief IAN be
understood. For he assails the Roose-
welt plan strict regulation of the
monopolies, and at the same time
admits that 1t is impossible to return
to the old conditions of competition.
Now, il we are not to have compe-
tition, then we are certain to have
monopoly. And ii We are to say that
monopoly Is inevitable, then 1t seems
the logical thing to say that we will
regulate these ~monopolies.
Boiled down to its final analysis,
the Wilson plan is the same as the
Taft method, which has proven the
biggest joke Of the entire Taft ad-
ministration.
President Taft solemnly assured
the country that the supreme courts
order "dissolving' the oil and to-
bacco trusts had forever ended those
monopolies. The New York stock
markets opinion of the suit was best
shown in an increase of $500, 600, 600
/ n the market value of the oil trusts
stock. Similar enhancement Of the
tobacco thust property has resulted
from the suit.
Wilson would continue such fu-
tile Attempts as this, notwithstanding
he admits that competition cannot
be restrained.
The one sensible plan for regulat-
ion of the trusts proposed in this
campaign is that OF Roosevelt, who
would establish a commission cloth
ed with all the necessary power tt
supervise the great monopolies ane
see that they do not abuse their op
portunities. This is exactly the plal
that has proved SO eminently sue
cessful in the regulation of the rail
roads of the country and it is des
tined to be adopted for the solution
of the trust problem.

ence around Mitchell but one farmer
living about six miles from here is
said to have lost II animal from it
recently.
The disease is called cerebro spin
al meningitis and seems to be caused
by some sort of poison in the pas
lures. 1t is lot known definitely what
causes it or IA sure remedy. All kinds
of pasture seems to be infected, in
Guiding wild and tame grass and even
alfalfa. 1t is said by some that the
heavy frosts will purify the pastures
again but it is also claimed that the
disease flourishes all winter in Ar
| kansas and other states.
Segregation of the animals infect
ed and the feeding of dry feed seems
to be the way of stopping the spread
of the disease germ at the present
time.

such an official back to private life
would be a disgrace to the state.
AS it happens, neither Anderson
nor Glassner nor Abel, nor Burke nor
Martin approve the Mitchell meeting.
What is more, they emphatically dis
approve it. So far as Anderson him
self is concerned, he is abiding strict
ly by the results of the state conven-
ton, recognizing it was directed by
law to ASS upon the questions in
dispute.
SO far as The Republican Is o n
cerned, it is for the election OF the
entire ticket, from electors down to
constable. That it is not marking any
OF the candidates for slaughter is the
best evidence of its sincerity.

FARMERS TO THE RESCUE,

tFrom the Essex County Heral1)
The committee on markets Of the New
York State food investigation commission
has just made its report, which throws a
little new light on the increased cost OF
living. BY getting the goods in packages
the consumer pays 40 per cent more
than he would II he obtained the same
things In bulk. The trading stamp adds 3
per cent. additional to the price, and the
practice of requiring the seller to de-
liver every parcel, small as we'll as large.
adds 10 to Is per cent. more to it. Here
we have one very good reason why food
prices are higher than they used to be,
for the package system. the trading
stamps and the practice Of requiring the
dealer to deliver everything. are COM
paratively recent innovations.
Then. too. come the rapid increase in
population and the comparatively slow
gain IN the output of the farms. While
population throughout the country grew
q per cent. in the past ten years. the OK
pansion in the food supply has been only
about per cent. There Is "A drift of peo-
