FOR MIR. BRANSON.

Lane News: 1t needs be necessary
that we as individuals make Il de-
cided and definite choice in the mat
ter OF the selection OF men to fill the
various and important offices OF our
government. The stranger in the
field, though mis- personal character
and habits be without spot or blem-
sh, has the odds against him in his
campaign for high places, ii his con-
%stituents know him not. A personal
life, that will not bear the closest
inspection OF our enemies, as we'll as
our friends, must invariably depreci-
ate in the estimation of public opin-
ion. Real and true manhood is never
deserted or called into question by
those who have a personal knowledge,
of the life that is to stand the fiery
test, every man must undergo in
these days of harsh criticism, sure to
fall to the fate of those who may as
Iplre to climb higher.
We are glad to speak good things
of Mr.. o. l.. Branson, of Mitchell,
candidate for the lower house of Con-
gress. Of these UnitedStates, a man
most eminently fitted for such an
important position. The writer has
known Mr.. Branson for the past six
teen years, and have yet to hear of a
single item of discord or criticism
with reference to his daily life.
Our first little bit of banking bust
ness in South Dakota, vas done with
Mr.. Branson, sixteen years ago in
Mitchell, and during our stay of four
years in school we were frequently
encouraged by Mr.. Branson to do our
best towards getting an education,
We also learned during our stay in
Mitchell that Mr.. Branson was held
in very high esteem by a large circle
of friends and business associates. He
has been president of the First Ma
tional bank of Mitchell for a number
of years, and enjoys the confidence OF
a continuous increasing patronage.
He is one of the vide awake repub.
licans of his city, and an ardent adj
mirer of clean and manly politics,
His candidacy places for the first
time in the history of the state, the
third member of the house of repre-
senta.ives, to be elected from South
Dakota.
If elected. no man need ever be
ashamed that he cast his vote 70,
him, he will make us a competent
and able representative, having a
thorough knowledge of the needs oil
the voters of his district. We hope
to see him reach Washington, the
seat of government, with a more cor.
dial support than any of his col.
leagues. 1t is expected that he will
be in Lane in the near future to ad-
dress the people in behalf of his can.
didacy. and it will be your oppor.
,tunity to see end hear him.

Chicago Record-Herald. That paper
has enhanced the value of such sup
port by joining with the most en-
thnsiastic advocates OF the presiden-
tial primary. Following the Illinois
primary, in which the cause cham
pioned by the Record-Herald was de-
featcd, that newspaper printed The
strongest kind OF n plea for the use
of the primary in every state in the
union for the purpose of selecting
delegates to the national conventions.
The spectacle of some 100000 votes
being cast in the state of Illinois
upon the various presidential can
didacies, must command respect with
all who esteem the most cherished
principles OF the American govern
ment. Here is the rule of the major
Ivy III IN ItS ItiJtSly. mere ~ u Ilal-
~festation OF the sovereignty of the
people.
Contrast this orderly, dignifled and
statewide expression in Illinois with
the riots that occurred in the Michi-
gan state convention Thursday. There
ii "a necessary to employ all the
police and part of the militia and
vent disorder and physical combats.
The so-called convention consisted In
fact of only an uproar. 1t has de.
cided nothing ana has given but
email Information upon which tho
national convention could determine
which faction should have controll
ed.
Suppose it should happen that ;
nomination would hang upon thu
identity of the delegates from Michi
gan. 1t would be impossible to refe.
the issue to them for determination
for the reason that they have no
been selected. This meant that Mich
igan would be denied the voice sh,
should have through here delegate
at large. Such a spectacle as that Il
Michigan, in contrast with the on
in Illinois. will assuredly hasten tn
adoption of the presidential primar
as the only method insuring to an
party the control of it's own nomir
atoms.

THE PENNSYLVANIA RESULT.

Dispatches from Washington Sat.
urday night stated that the news OF
the result of the Pennsylvania pri-
maries caused a prediction that Col.
Roosevelt would be nominated by ac.
clamation at the Chicago convention.
Any such forecast. of course. is
based upon the moral effect of the
