date for the senate in Oregon assures
democratic control of the upper house
nj congress and places both branches
OF the legislature and the presidency,
in their hands for the first time in 10
years. The addition of Oregon to the
democratic list gives that party 40
senators, or a majority of two.
In addition to the election Of sue
cessors democratic senators now sit
ting, democrats will displace repub-
lican senator's from Oregon, New Jer-
sey, Kansas, Colorado, Montana,
Delaware and Nevada and will fill
the vacancy in Colorado with man
of their choosing.
The contest in Illinois where two
senator's are to be chosen and in Ten.
nessee and Michigan remain to be de-
cided. The democrats make positive
claims concerning some of these
states, but whatever the result in any
or all of them, democratic control Of
the senate ia assured and the demo-
Gratis will be able to shape legislation
if harmony prevails among them.

SOME FUN AHEAD.

Argus Leader: Republicans men,
bers of the legislature who voted for
Dean Sterling for senator will be
helping to continue the fight against
the republican party. The time for
the separation has come-in South
Dakota, as elsewhere. 1t will not
hereafter be possible to use the re-
publican name and the republican
votes to elect the candidates of an
other party. The first test in South
Dakota will come on the election of a
United States senator. No republi-
can member of the legislature feels
bound to vote for Sterling who has
left the republican party unless he
favors the third party. That at least
should seem very clear.

TRUSTS OPPOSE TO LAW

Former Attorney General S. w.
Clark has gone to Washington where
he Will appear before the United
States supreme court on behalf Of the
state Of South Dakota. to argue the
case of the State VS. The Central
Lumber Co. This case involves the
constitutionality of the anti discrimi-
nation law enacted by the state legis-
lature in 1907. This law was enacted
for the protection of independent deal
ers in lumber, coal and petroleum
products. This law provides that
dealers in these products who have q
number of retail yards or distribute
ing stations throughout the state.
must charge the same price for their
products at all of such distributing
stations, taking into consideration
the difference in freight charges.
The case was started on the com
plant of an independent lumber deal
er at Leola. who alleged that the Cen.
trail Lumber Co., was endea voring to
force him out of business by ruinous
competition of Leola while charging
extortionate prices in yards at other
points within the state.

not a county failing to support the
measure that the legislature refused

Herein is shown the value of the
referendum privilege. Guided by
vicious machine, the legislative body
set it's face against reform that those
who elected them were calling for.
Against the people, also, was the
state and federal official com bination.
The opposition was strong in influ-
eDce aud in logged determination to
thwart the popular demand. But the
little ballot has destroyed the opposi-
ton. The voters of the state have

REPUBLICANS TO ORGANIZE.

Huron Huronite: 81 am gratifie1
at the state returns, ,as / desired to
see the whole republican ticket elect
ed" said Governor Vessey to a
newspaper interviewer. The COVER
nor is the South Dakota member of
national bull moose committee, APP.
pointed during the progress of the
boilers convention at Chicago.
The Sioux Falls Press says that
South Dakota is one of the few
states of the union now entirely re-
publican. Just after having elect
ed five bull moose presidential cleo
tors. boilers from the republican
party.
The Mitchell Republican assumes
that it is strongly entrenched in the
republican party, after giving sup
port through the campaign to the
nominees who bolted the republican
party at Chicago, and that the news
papers that opposed the election OF
the candidate OF the boilers are out
of the party.
Thus is appears to be design Of
the bull moosies to ofiiciate as mem
bers of two political parties and to
control the organization of two part
les. through appointment at Chicago
and through theft at Huron.
| Under these conditions, it becomes
an imperative duty on the part of the
republicans of the state to come to.
gether IN a Representative capacity
and create an organization around
which party the republicans can
group itself for business purposes and
cast out the men who have affiliated
with another party.
Mr.. Roosevelt, their leader, has
said that his defeat of Taft at the
late election gave his party stand
ing in the political family and that il
could now perfect and maintain it's
organization and defeat the republi.
can party at the next election.

that result of the election was "a
new party in the nation that has come
to stay-a new life in politics that
marks better national existence. >
All declarations tend to the perpet
uation of the party to which Mr.
Vessey, the Sioux Falls Press anl
Mitchell Republican belong. Through
usurpation of authority, it has taker
possession of the machinery of the
republican party and has announced
that it intends to direct the destinies
of that party. while admitting allegi
ance to the Roosevelt party.
Republicans can do nothing more
nor less than take over that which

The DURABLE BRYAN

AS q time tested campaigner you
simply have to give it to William
Jennings Bryan. With Gov. Wilson
and Coli Roosevelt both off the ma
tional circuit recently, Col. Bryan
had no competition in ability to draw
crowds.l With the two presidential
candidates in the competition, and
with frank curiosity adding thousands
to their every audience, Bryan re-
manned in class by himself in the
essential of pleasing his audience.
During the campaign Bryan was bill
ed in the south, the west, and finally
in the east. From all directions re-
ports have been the same. Every
where the Bryan meetings have been
attended by thousands where other
spellbinders draw only hundreds.
And everywhere the Bryan gatherings
met the specifications of what politi-
clans call good meetings"
1t is somewhat astonishing to see
Bryan keeping up the pace set by
himself as a campaigner. In his case
the element of curiosity long since
ceased to serve as an attraction.
Bryan has been Oh the. lecture plat.
form practically without interruption
ever since 1896. The charm of his
oratory was first advertised in the
year when he first lost the presidency
During the years that followed Bryan,
the orator, became familiar figure
in every state of the union. On the
chautauqua or lyceum platform, or
on the stump during political cam
paigns, Bryan was to be heard often,
here, there and everywhere.
