party regularity cannot read any one
out of the party who honestly believ-
es that President Taft was nominated
by the national committee rather
than by the delegates selected by the
people. The presidential electors are
state officers, they represent their
state. The elector owes his duty to
the republicans of his state rather
than to the republicans of other stat
es.
Il will approve any plan that can
be legitimately adopted, so as to get
an accurate expression from the re-
publican voters of this state as to
who they desire for president. Taft
or Roosevelt. If no such plan can be
adopted, then SO far as / am con-
cerned, l shall Investigate carefully
with a view af ascertaining what |
believe the majority of the member
ship of the republican party of this
state desire of me. l shall try and
keep in touch with the rank and file
OF the republican voters of this state
and shall try as far as possible to re-
spect their wishes, and act according
ly, and in doing so. let no man say
that such a course is treason to the
republican party, if so, borrowing
the language of Patrick Henry,
Then let him make the most of it,

Is ARE TO ATTEND
IRRIGATION CONGRESS
THIS WILL INDICATE THE GREAT
INTEREST OF SOUTH DA-
>kOTA IN THE SUBJECT

Presho, S. D.-That the entire
Northwest and particularly the state
OF South Dakota is awakening to the
importance OF the Great Plains lrri-
cation movement is evidenced by the
press comment and the endorsements
received by the officers OF the or
sanization which was perfected in
Ft. Pierre last month.
The agitation of irrigation in this
state is not only influencing many
private individuals to install irrigat-
ing plants, but it has helped to influ-
ence corporations to such an extent
that they are buying up tracts of il
rigable land along the rivers and so
confident are they of the future sue
cess of these projects that they are
selling this land practically on crop
payments.
Irrigation booster clubs are being
formed all owe the state and the
Association contemplates sending out
booster automobiles in a short time
, to visit the various industrial centers
and to awaken them to the necessity
of cooperation between the COM
mercial clubs and the irrigation as
sociations.
Some twenty-five delegates and
committeeman from South Dakota
will attend the National Irrigation
Congress at Salt Lake City next
month and it is believed that their
reports when made public will reveal
some startling developments along ir-
rigation lines.
Since Prof. ~Etchegoyen, the great
engineering expert of Paris, created
the sensation in France by proposing
the irrigation of the Sahara Desert in
Africa by using the waters of the
Mediterranean Sea, the world has
shown signs of awakening to the i'm.
portance of those subjects.
The indications are that since the
Northwest has been awakened OF
these matters North and South Da'
kota will nave no opportunity to LOSE
interest in conservation and irriga
! ton, and the lower Mississippi state:
are re-awakened annually by the
spring flood waters which should
be conserved so that the nation ma.
expect to be affected by the result!
of these cold waite awakenings il
the South and the advance of thu
Great Plains Irrigation movement
in the Northwest.

CANADIAN LANDS OPENED

Toronto, Canada.-The Ontario
government opened to %prospectors a.
20 00acres of land in the Giles Limit,
lying south of the portion already
disposed of and east of the Montreal
river today. The territory is of doubt
full mineral value. The officials OF the
department of mines made a thor
ough examination in search of miner
ais, but although the nature of the
district is favorable to the presence
of ore bodies no discoveries were
made. For some months, however,
the people of Cobalt and Haileybury
have been urging the government to
allow %prospectors to try their fortu-
nes, pointing out that with the TAX
ing up of all the promising territory
in the neighborhood of the Colbat
camp, p%rospectors have been moving
farther afield.

H. C. Preston, One of
Them, So States
In Letter
STILL IN PARTY
Attorney Denies He Has
Formed Any Allegiance
With New Party

II. c. Preston of this city, n of
the presidential electors chosen at
the republican state convention for
the republican state ticket, has re-
ceived a number of letters inquiring
what Will be the curse of the elect
ors if they are successful in Novem-
Der. One of these, from w. f.. Bruell,
a w~ell-known attorney of Redfield,
has been given out for publication by
MIR. Preston, together with his reply.
Coming at this time, just after the
Taft men have appointed a commit
tee to sound the electors and find out
what they are going to do. Mr.. Pres
tons letter is of special interest. In
all probability any answer to the Taft
committee would be practically the
same. Mr.. Preston says hat he has
not left the republican party, and, in
the absence OF specific instructions
by the voters of the party as to what
course the electors should follow, he
will endeaVor to ascertain the senti
ment of the members OF the party
and be governed accordingly.
Following is Mr.. Bruell's letter of
inquiry and also Mr.. Preston's reply:
"Redfield, S. d., Aug. 10, 1912.
"Hon. ii. c. Preston,
"Mitchell, S. ID.
Dear Sir:
Much has been said in the news
papers concerning the attitude of the
electors of the republican ticket in
this state, in relation to their sup
port of the republican ticket in case
of the election of said electors. There
has been no time until the present
when the voters of this state had a
right perhaps to question your posi-
ton in this matter, but inasmuch as
a new national party has been laun-
ched, and the republican machine
and organization of this state seems
to be affiliated with it, l believe it is
as to where YOU and the other elect
ors stand in relation to the national
ticket.
The question | wish to ask of
you and others is this,-in case you
are elected next November on the
ticket on which you are nominated
will you support the republican can
didate for president, William Howard
Taft? | ask this as a republican and
a voter of this state, and | would
thank you very much for a reply at
this time. / am not asking for a re-
ply for publication, but would desire
one that might be given publicity if
the occasion demanded it.
"Thanking you for the informa-
ton, ! enclose stamped envelope for
reply.
Yours very truly.
CIV. e. RRUELI."
