W. ]. PRATT
RUN over
BY AN AUTO

W. j. Pratt, workman employed
at Cottage and State streets, was run
down about 3 o'clock this afternoon,
by an auto driven by Mrs, II. o.White,
The car passed over Pratt's body
lengthwise, and he was picked up and
taken to Perry's drug store, where
his injuries were attended to by DR..
Miles. The accident was one of those
unfortunate affairs, seemingly una
voidable. Mrs. White was driving
slowly when Pratt stepped into the
street. AT the point was a gravel
train on the car track, and a wood
pile near the curb, and Mrs. White
being unable to- avoid the man, lost
her presence of mind and was unable
to stop the car. Chief Of Police Ham
ilton jumped on the car aud stopped
it, How seriously Pratt is hurt is
not yet known. Mrs. White is pros
trated over the accident.

LAST Saturday afternoon r. O..
Richards, of Huron, gave an ex-
position and explanation of the
primary bill" that will be before
the voters for adoption or rejec-
ton at the next election. 1t was
the first time Mr.. Richards had
appeared before a Mllbank audi
ence, and he made a very favora-
BILE impression. There we're
those who before they heard him
we're inclined to doubt the prac-
tical working of the bill if it
should become a law, and who
rather had fear OF it's cumber-
someness, who after listening TO
a verbal explanation Of it's pro-
visions were pretty we'll con.
WINGED that the bill was an honest
attempt at getting a primary
bill that would permit the
people to participate in the nomi
nation of their own officers. The
present primary law has proved
that in this respect it is an abso-
Lutte failure, and is far worse than
the convention law which it
superseded. Mr.. Richards gave
an instance of how the last state
officers were nominated, when he
and FIVE or six others held q eau
Gus and selected the whole state
ticket. The Richards law pro.
vides that the ~initiatory in select.
ing the candidates be lodged in
the parties organized under the
law, aud the parties thus organi.
zed are protected from inter.
ference or participation by those
who are not. members of the
party.
We believe the Richards law
should be given a trial. 1t GER
tainly can be no worse than the
present one, and if it proves de-
fective in details these may later
be amended.

ia should be represented in the
senate by something more than
a mere machine politician. That
ability and character should
mark the man elected to repre-

in the United States senate.
That Hon. Thomas Sterling is
possessed Of these attributes is
not denied even by his political
opponents, and that his election
as senator would be hailed with
delight by a large body of South
Dakota people who are not proud

Is Not Slow

If anyone thinks for a moment that Colonel Roosevelt has
lost his nip at turning "A trick, they have failed to follow the
strenuous one the past few weeks, or months. If he went to
sleep at the post it was when the others were in bed. AT his
own private convention in Chicago yesterday he turned a neat
little trick on the negro question. He states that the people
of the south won't stand for the negro in politics, and advises
the southern negro to recognize the fact. This may loose him
the cOlOred vote, but it will make a better feeling among the
white planters. The loss of the negro vote will not be felt, as
it is never counted, and will add some of the southern voters to
his list. Teddy will keep Taft hustlng to keep even with the
pace.
