CONFUSION IN LAWS Is
CONSTRUED BY LETTER

Pierre, s. D., Feb. 20.-The attor-
ney generals department calls atten-
ton to an error In the printed ap-
portionment bill Of the past session.
The instrument as enacted and en-
rolled provides that Lake county shall
constitute District No. 20 and shall be
entitled to two representatives. The
statute as printed in the session laws
gives Lake county only one u
member. Secretary OF State Policy has
inquired regarding the Interpretation
of that part Of the same apportion-
ment law which provides that Hamlin
and Deuel. counties are to have one
representative each and n between
them. This Is construed to mean just
what 1t says, that each of these u
ties shall nave one man in the house
and that they must select n other
common representative.

Senator Curtis went down in the
Kansas primaries before Governor
Stubbs and Stubs will be senator
from Kansas in his place. Thus the
curtain falN on another Of the old
guard and a new face appears on the
progressive side Of the senate chamber.
Senator Curtis defeat is attributed
to his support Of Lorimer, who had had
the senator's anxious aid until the
flood came down in the last vote on
the Illinois senator's unf1tness. II
washed Curtis away from Lorimer's
side, but he had held on while hope
prevailed and left only after the corpse
had been laid out and the candles
lighted for the deathwatch Some of
the newswriters list him as another OF
the victims Of Lorimer." But he
wasn't. He was a victim Of his own
making Lorimer has plenty Of sins OF
his own to carry without being made
the scapegoat Of all the sins Of the
gang. He was only an incident. Lori
mer is a parable He just happend to
be 1t. The reasons for Curtis defeat
was in Curtis. Curtis forgot his people
when he got among the gang at Wash

alton Of the fact that new order is
arriving and that public service is
hereafter to be given under the public
eye with responsibility to the public.

per cent were: South. Dakota, Utah,
Colorado. Florida. these gains were
almost altogether Of agricultural pop
ulation. 1t had to come from some
other states where conditions had been

culturalists money to buy with and to
move on and to suggest opportunity Of

A MATTER OF CONSCIENCE.

There can be no objection to any

In fact, the man who doesn't vote con-
scientiously can not be regarded the

No citizen should vote for man for

Intelligent conscience is the underly-

Nation, state and county have moth

ROOSEVELT IN CHICAGO.
Tsioux city Tribune.1


Is this defeated candidate. met at
the depot by cheering thousands and
passing along streets lined with other
cheering thousands? Is this a man
turned down by his party who is now
the center Of the earnest gaze Of the
country? Compare his coming with the
imagined progress OF President Taft
over the same course today. The pres
ident would be met with disapproval
such as has seldom been thrown at an
American statesman by an American
crowd. Not for the assurance Of re-
election would Taft have risked pass
ing thru the streets Of Chicago yes
terday and having his reception by the
people compared with that Of Roose-
welt.
The people acclaim Roosevelt as the
victor. There is nothing of sympathy
or commiseration in their attitude to-
ward him. He Is not coming to them
asking for vindication or personal en-
dorsement. He is going on along the
same way that he trod to the former
Chicago convention. and his slogan is
a cry Of victory and not wall Of de-
feat,

begin it's voyage-where? 1t is well cap
tanned for an adventurous trip, fairly
manned and sails into no new seas. 1t

touch and of call. Where will the voy-
age end?
There Is no doubt that the leaders
and supporters Of the movement expect
to land at the White House dock in
November and it is not at all certain
that their hopes will lack justification.
The Roosevelt candidacy and the
platform behind it apeals to a vast
number Of Americans.
The total census would be astonish-
ing Of those who agree with the par
ticularized declarations Of the new
party for direct primaries for the nom
ination Of state and national officers.

referendum and recall OF the latter
propositions the voters are still in sus-
picioue mood, especially as regards the
recall but the number Of those who are
ready to agree to the whole program IS
large and its purpose enthusiastic.
The new party will make head rapid
ly in the states wherein the voters have
personal grievance like Illinois. Penn
sylvania and other states which were
made to walk the plank at the Chicago
convention. With judgment it will make
head in Iowa and states where progress
sives lost by their own insolence ana
lack OF Initiative 1t will not gain in
these last named states however, If 1t
chooses to pursue strong arm policy
against state nominees against whose
nomination nothing can be urged and
which was won fairly in honest primar-
les. It is utterly unjust and inde-
feasible to demand Of a candidate thus
nominated in a straight party primary
that he shall as the price Of support
be guilty Of treachery to the party
which gave him the nomination. 1t
would be nothing less than plain
treacf,ery to the candidate were the
republicans who nominated him in
Iowa and who have taken up new
national alignment on account OF the
actions of a treacherous national COM
nittee, to offer these candidates choice
between reputation OF the source Of
their nomination or defeat. Such In
s.ssence would put the third party re-
publicans in iowa in the position OF
denial Of their own signatures.
The new party starts OF we'll. II u

dealing in politics. The breath Of Its
