RECEPTION FOR VISITORS.

Thursday afternoon a most delight
full reception was rendered the men,

State Medical Society at the home OF

er, Mrs. f. w. Freyberg, Mrs. c. A.
Bower, Mrs. w. r. Ball and Mrs.
c. S. Bobb, affording a most enjoy
able afternoon to the ladies. There
were fifty present, ten of whom were
the nurses from ST. Joseph's hospi-
tai, who were thus given an oppor-
tunity to meet the members of the
auxiliary. The nurses appeared in
their uniforms and gave an added
charm to the scene. On the arrival
of the guests each was presented
with a card and pencil, bearing the
colors of the Auxiliary, on which
was written the name of each guest.
A guessing contest ensued later in the
afternoon, the answer to the ques-
tions being some part of the human
body. This served as a very enjoy
able amusement, and tested the wits
of many. The guests we're enter
tanned with a delightfully."- informal
musical program, which was partici-
pated in by Mrs. Samuel Weir. who

The members of the club both enter

MONDAY breakfast. The losers of the
attendance contest, which has caused
a great deal Of rivalry in the club
and incidentally, a splendid attend
ance during the year, paid their for
felt in a royal manner. and demon
strated their ability as cooks and
hosteSses ever though a bit weak in
the matter of attendance. On one side
of the long and beautifully decorate
ed table sat the guests, on the other
coming presidents and the lady of the
house occupied the seats of honor at
head and foot. Each guest found at
her plate a tiny package containing n
charming little lace breakfast cap,
and as these We're donned the host

on huge decorated Ounce caps. The
delicious menu was served by Misses
Anderson and Derr, and between the
courses clever toasts We're given and
responded to by Mesdames Upton,

TAFT IN DDRBAT.

Now, on the v of his defeat, there
is no eason why the most intense
~ partisan opponent of Taft should
not respect the pathetic position in
which the president Of the United
States is placed
1t cannot be believed that there is
any observer SO biased in his opposi-
ton to Taft as to believe that he has
at any time been dishonest or insin-
cese. The Republican never has doubt
ed the ,genuineness of his good inten-
tentions. 1t does not believe that many
people do. Then is it not pathetic to
find a man who has been honest in
his efforts, repudiated by the public
whom he has e%ndeavored to serve?
Should not the victors in the hour OF
their triumph spare him a mite of
their sympathy?
Yet on the other hand the people
cannot be condemned for rejecting
him. They have simply concluded they
should continue the difficult task
OF fitting a judicial mind into an ex-
ecutiye position. Taft has been UNI
able to change his mental processes.
He has always been waiting for some

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
IT's ROOSEVELT.

For acme months The Republican
has expressed the belief that the posi-
Bile republican presidential candidates
stand in the following order in their
vote-getting ability: Hughes, Roose-
welt, Taft and La Toilette. So far as
the three activ. candidates are con-
cerned, this opinion has already been
won by Roosevelt in Illinois, Penn
~sylvania, Maryland, California, Min
nesota. Kansas, Oregon and Ohio,
leave no room for reasonable doubt
that there are more republican vot-
ers for Roosevelt than there are for
Taft.
So tar as Hughes is concerned, The
Republican still believes he would
poll q larger vote than either OF the
three active candidates. For he is i'm
mensely popular with the people be-
cause Of his record in New York and
yet has not engendered the bitter OPP
position developed by Roosevelt IN his
campaign. But Hughes will not be
nominated. Roosevelt has made his
tight and won 1t. Ut would offend the
American ems of Justice to deny him
the fruits OF that victory. Furthermore
1t is q political impossibility for
Hughes to be named. The Roosevelt
following will not be separated from
the leader they have followed through
the campaign. Furthermore, consti-
tuting the largest single influence in
the Chicago convention. this following
will attract to 1t all the political
camp-followers. In states where the
activities OF the republican party con
sist OF strife over federal appoint
ments, no dark horse looks SO good
as one that is already running easily
in the lead.
1t will be Roosevelt. And the next
president will be Roosevelt. The dem

THE Jack POT TICKET"
A new issue has been injected into
the primary election campaign by the
attempt of John Sutherland at Pierre
to appropriate to himself the right to
at these primaries.
Mr.. Sutherland's attempt to sup
plant the voters and thus cheat the
primary election system of its pur-
pose, is certain to prove a political
boomerang. The distribution of Suth-
erland's circular, containing his slate
of candidates, had about the effect
of throwing dynamite under the feet
of the men he is trying to put into
office.
The Republican has made diligent
'esis of that Napoleonic attempt. 1t
has satisfied itself that, at least so
far as Sterling and Byrne and
Ewert are concerned, and pro-
badly two others, nothing at all was
known of what Sutherland had con-
cocted. Several of the candidates
named by Sutherland were immersed
in gloom Immediately upon discovery
of what he had done. For this auto
cratic scheme on the part of Suth.
erland upset the whole scheme OF
campaign by such men as Sterling
and Byrne and Ewert. These in par.
ticular had kept themselves free from
alliances with other candidates. They
have scrupulously refrained from
denominating or classifying candi-
dates for other places.
The distressing feature about Suth.
erland's foolhardy scheme is that il
has created a minority of friends and
a majority of enemies for each of the
candidates named on his list-at least
so far as it will have any effect
There are only ten candidates on the
Sutherland list and nineteen not OF
it. 1t will be difficult for these ter
now to reconcile themselves with tn.
nineteen whom Sutherland say'
should be beaten.
So insane from a political stand
point is that Sutherland plan tina
some of the friends of those whom Ii,
put upon his ticket began to suspec
his motives and to wonder whethe
he was not intending really to defea
at least part of those whom he wa
pretending to befriend.
The time was when a union of can
didates in South Dakota meant an in
crease of strength for each other
That was when a straight line wa
drawn between the two factions an,
when there was a difference in thei
platforms. Two Gears ago this lin
was practically wiped out by a dec
laration by both elements of tn
party for identical principles. Up t
that time each OF the two sides ha'
one organization and one managerial
head. Thus each helped the other j.
the contest over the policies to b
adopted by the party.
But in this campaign most of tn
candidates have seen how illogica
and inappropriate such an attemp
would be. Thus most of them hav
conducted campaigns on their owl
behalf and not become mixed wit
the strife over other officials. This /
why ~Sutherland's circular descend
upon those he pretends to befriend a
a bombshell. 1t represents an attemp
at political dictatorship and nothini
else.
