The plea of Col. Roosevelt that the
state court be recalled from legalism

keynote of the nominating speeches.
Judge Hand who was nominated
for chief judge, is a native of Albany
and a graduate of Harvard, both in
the general and law course. He was
admitted TO the bar in 1897 and on
April 2S, 1909, was appointed a
United States judge for the southern

Text of Platform.
The platform adopted by the con-
ference reaffirms the principles en-
unciated in the national and state
platforms of 1912 and deals at length
with renewed disclosures with re-
spect to the misconduct of state of.
ficers, the mismanagement of our
finances and public works"
OF the high court of impeachment
the platform says:
Much of the evidence was a famil-
lar detail of Tammany leaders long
before the impeachment proceeding
was thought of. To the Tammany
mind it was not at that time immoral.
1t became immoral only when the
newly elected governor proposed to
carry out his party's platform and
aid in the writing of a genuine direct
primary law upon the statute books,
and when investigation began the
governor began to disclose great
frauds. The responsibility for the
shame of the commonwealth is not
upon Tammany hall alone. The
Barnes machine in every crisis has
been a faithful and effective coadju-
tor of the Murphy machine"

Andrew II. Lee, of Vermillion, for

arrived in Mitchell on an early MORN

the state, had no intent to in anyway
fight the new primary measure adj
vocated by James Colfey, titular head
of the party in South Dakota.
Leaders of the old Wilson wing
of the party had expressed the belief
that the Lee followers would attack
the Coffey primary measure and
would stand back of the Richards
law, now in effect.
Let Mr.. Coffey put his primar.
measure into the law books, let hin
go back to the old primary form, W.
will not stop such Il move,' said Mr.
Lee.
