AT 10 O'Clock the graduates, attir-

members of the class of 1913. The
faculty and board of directors of the

program, and this was followed by a

for themselves. Tdey will be cheated
out of 1t neither by a congress that
seeks to represent Others than the

scouting the expressed wish of the
These committee hearings are a
farce anyway. What proper relation
to the presidential nomination can
be found in the question whether one
set of southern office-seekers or an
other should be recognized? There
is no republican party in the south
and to pretend to settle a presiden-
tial nomination by seating one or an
other set of delegates from the south
is too absurd for grown men to par
ticipate in.
Taft should withdraw. 1t is not
important hat his ambition, or the
ambition of any other man, should be
gratitied. But it is vital to the flu
ture of the republican party That
its decisions should reflect the will
|of the people. The selection of del
egates by means of the caucus sys-
ITEM is practically withouH signiti-
cance. EVERY eXerienced politician
knows that under that system the
delegates ordinarily go to the fac
ton that is in control of the machin-
cry. The various presidential pri-
maries alone are to be considered
as pointing the way the party should
go. In nearly every one of these
Taft was defeated. The best he
could do was to divide Massachu-
sets with Roosevelt. 1t is anything
but true to party loyalty to say thai
in the face of such declaration by the
voters themselves, the nomination
of Taft should be even considered
To do this is to show loyalty tic
Taft and disloyalty to the party, Fol
the party is simply an aggregation OF
voters. The voters that compose il
must be allowed to say what the par
ty shall do, or they will leave 1t.
1t Is indeed a critical time for the
republican party. No doubt there
are interests thot would gladly go Sc
far as to send the party to defeat

not in the race, his following
would In oil probability go to Byrne.
Gull appealed particularly to the old
stalwart element in the party and
the small vote he received is evil
dence that Egan at least almost OBJ
liberated the old factlonal line.
Egan faced a different campaign
than was made against him two
years ago. In 1910, the Kaufman
case and his disbarment were still
fresh In the minds of the people. In
them Egan found material for the
establishment of his right to general
sympathy. To make an attack up
on him would be to heighten that
sympathy and so 1t was sensibly con-
cluded by his opponents that it
would be better to ignore him. Egan
made a phenomenal record in that
campaign, considering the limited
time he had been in the state and the
loyal following possessed by both
Vcssey and Elrod. 1t was his time
to win, and II he had made a more
thorough campaign, it is just pos
sible he might have led the others.
But since that time. nothing hap
|pened to Mr.. Egan that he might use
as a foil in his race for governor. He
had been r%einstated as an attorney
ard so had no complaint to make on
that score, especially since 1t was
preceded by a sweeping apology to
tho supreme court. Instead of the
Kaufman a the public heard o
more than one instance In which
Mr.. Egau received phenomenally
large attorney fees. He fitted up a
magnificent suite of offices. He gave
all the appearances of unusual pros
perity. Now, regardless of his right to
the large fees, there Is a certain pre-
judice, especially in a rural state
like this, against the practice of max
Ing large and spectacular charges for
legal services. This, in the opinion
Iof The Republican, did more to weak.
en- Egan this year, especially, in his
own county. than any other factor
in the campaign.
In addition to this, persistent and
vigorous attacks were made upon his
personal character and. upon his al
legged alliance with railroad and. ex
press company interests. Thes,
probably contributed to his defeat
although these are not in themselves
enough necessarily to defeat an,
candidate.
iBgan also left himself open Il
attacks by his treatment of state ex
penditures. He was too much in
clined to foster suspicion instead o,
combining himself to instances where
he could prove extravaganza beyond
dispute. This permitted opposition
speakers to raise the charge that he
had deceived his audiences and II
always is dangerous to allow the
Epublic to get the notion that a can,
di late has presumed upon its guilt
bility.
These, together with the splendid
character and clean political RECORD
of Mr.. Byrne. account for the dc
feat of Egan. The question before
the election was the relative
strength of these various influences
This was resolved against Egan an,
in favor of Byrne. 1t was a defea

section has ever enjoyed, is expected
this Special efforts have
been made to attract residents of the
eastern part of this state, western
Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. SO
much rain and snow fell this spring
that the Hills have never looked more
beautiful and the verdure is unusu-
ally bright. Crop conditions are bet
ter than for many years and all re-
ports from the agricultural section in
the western part of the state show
that the planting is heavier than ever
before. Only hot, dry winds can now
prevent bumper crops in most of the
grains and an optimistic tone is pre-
valent among the farmers.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
BRANsoN's DEFEAT.

Tho Republican has already extend
ed its congratulations to Mr.. Dillon
upon HIS nomination for congress
from the First district of congress.
Any man who could win over Mr..
Branson certainly Is entitled to con-
graduation. It is the achievement of
Mr.. Dillon's career.
Probably the reason for Mr.. Bran
sons failure to win when almost ev-
cry one expected him to record an
easy victory is to be found in the fact
that he refused to attach his candid
acy to that of Roosevelt for presi-
dent. Perhaps The Republican was
prevented from realizing this handi-
cop by ITS own knowledge, months
before Roosevelt was a candidate and
while NJ opponent was supporting
