Asa W. Butler who was nomi
mated on the republican ticket in
Missouri as an elector, has been
honorable enough to resign be-
cause he wishes to support the
third term party. His reason how
ever, is little inconsistent. He
says he is opposed to this new
scheme of governing by committees
to which the republican party
seems to have become SO strongly
committed. It is the third term
party that proposes to place the
complete control of all corpora
tions in the hands of a committee
This is government by a committee
with a vengeance.

James Fowler Sr. of Deadwood
has been nominated as an indep
endent candidate for supreme court
Judge to run against S. V. Policy.
Mr.. Fowler has been practlcing
law in the Black Hills for twenty
five years and is recognized as a
leader in his profession. The con-
ditions are little peculiar. Judge
Corson, now over eighty years Of
age, but who still retains his strong
mental equipment, has held posi-
tion on the supreme bench ever
since the state was admitted. 1t
was his ambition to "die in the
harness, and the leading attorneys
of his district, recognizing the un-
impeachable record that he has
made, and out of respect for his
we'll known desire, refuse to enter
the race to defeat him. s V.
Policy, who has held the Office of
secretary of state for the past four
years, but who has never gained
any distinction as a lawyer, per-
mitted his ambition to override his
sense of magnanimity, and came
out as a candidate. By making
an active campaign, and being on
the slate of the party manipulators
Mr.. Policy succeeded in getting the
nomination. Judge Corson being
no longer in the race, the voters Of
that district, who wish to retain
the ability and integrity of the gu.
preme court, have now placed Mr.
Fowler on the ticket as an indie
pendent candidate.

The Sioux City Tribune critjcizes
the statment of Mr.. Hilles to the
effect that the present prosperity
of the farmers is due in any sense
to the governmental policies. If
this is true then there is nothing
to be gained by changing to Mr..
Roosevelt's policies, and nothing
to be lost by changing to those OF
Mr.. Wilson. If this is true what
becomes of the argument of the
Tribune to the effect that farmers
are being robbed and that thei,
only remedy is to turn to Mr.
Roosevelt? The Tribune's argu.
ment proves too much for its own
good.

81 am for Woodrow Wilson for
the presidency as every true demo-
crat ought to be-" Champ Clark
at Springfield.
Which ought to start boiling re-
publicans a-thinking Sioux Falls
Press.
For once we heartily agree with
the Press. Champ Clark was fair
ly beaten in the Baltimore con-
vention and gracefully yields to
the will of the majority and sup
ports the nominee. MIR. Roose-
velt was fairly beaten in the Chic
ago convention, but instead of
yielding to the will of the majority
he bolted, organized a new party,
and is asking others to bolt their
party and support him. The ez.
ample of Champ Clark certainly
should start the Roosevelt boilers
a-thinking.

these M dasSs;tff4te men an also to do
all iLmen who camped Or the cost Of
food stuf1ssn. 1ssnroughossso igs..9s of the leading
promises of the third term party is
to reduce the cost of living, which
means the lowering of the cost of
food stuffs, so the third party has
no advantage over the democrats
on that issue. Regarding the tar
if, will some one please tell us
where Mr.. Roosevelt stands? In
his younger days he WAS president
of free trade club. For seven
and one half years while president
he refused to make any recon-
mendations on the issue at all.
After the Payne Aldrich tariff bill
was passed he strongly commend
ed it; now he is condemning it.
When Canadian reciprocity was
being considered in congress he
gave it his hearty endorse ment and
declared himself in favor of abso-
lutte free trade with Canada, the
only country that is competitor
on food products with the United
States. Now he is crlticizing
President Taft for working a jug
handle bill through to the detri-
ment of the farmers. The worst
thing that the business man has to
contend with in tariff legislation is
uncertainty. This was shown
when President Cleveland was cleo
ted. Long before the Wilson
German tariff law was enacted
hard times had set in, due simply
to the uncertainty as to what would
be done. Mr.. Roosevelt has no
fixed principles on tariff legislation
but trims his sails to suit the pass
ing breezes. He simply talks to
the galleries and to vote for him is
to vote for an absolute uncertainty
SO far as tariff legislation in con.
cerned.

The official recall seems to be
going to seed. The state of Ari-
zona was admitted only a few
months ago and already they are
planning to recall their governor
because some people do not favor
his "honor" system of handling
prisoners at the penitentiary, and
two state senators are to be recall.
ed because they do not favor wo.
man suffrage. Over in Sioux Falls
three recall votes have been taken
within the past six months, peti'
tions are being circulated for the
recall of another commissioner
and referendum petitions have
been filed on two commission
rulings.

About year ago Attorney Cen
eral johnson sent a communication
to the various attorneys of the
state asking them to recommend
any changes that they believed to
be desirable in our present laws
and to suggest any new legislation
that would be beneficial. From
these reports Mr.. Johnson has
formulated long list of measures
that he will submit to the next
legislature. Some of them seem
to be very desirable, and some
would make quite saving in thu
expense of running the state.

The Alpena Journal, a progress
i've newspaper, has come out for
Wilson because it will not support
men who steal while singing psalms
The Corsica News, also a progress
i've paper, has come out for Wilson
because it believes that he is more
progressive than is Roosevelt who
is backed by the big trusts of the
country. The belmont Record is
another progressive paper that re-
fuses to follow the bull moose
party.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1912-10-17

Mr.. Van Slyke, one of the bull
moose candidates for elector in.
.bis state, has thrown out a new
bait to the Taft voters. He says
that he is for MIR. Roosevelt, but ii
he is elected anu finds that it is
impossible to elect Roosevelt and
his vote will elect Taft he will
cast it for Taft. In other words
Mr.. Van Slyke would ask the
voters to elect bin and give him
authority to use bis own judgment
in selecting q president. MIR.
Hedges, republicans candidate for
governor of New York, says wheih-
er you are progressive or "A re-
dictionary depends upon how you
are headed when you start, and
Mr.. Van Slyke seems to be headed
backward about one hundred years.
How would he carry out his scheme :?
The electors of the various states
do not meet in q body, but the
electors of each state meet separ-
ately on certain day and cast the
votes of their respective states.
The vote is then sealed and sent TO
Washington where it is counted
with those from other states. Mr..
Van Sykes vote would be cast and
counted for Roosevelt and that
would be the end of his authority.
If neither candidate receives a
majority the duty will deyolve
upon the house of representatives
to make a selection. 1t is shrewd
scheme to get Taft votes cast for
Roosevelt.
