promised to help him. The letter ex-
planned in detail the correspondence he
had had relative to the renewal of the

connected with the penal system of the
state, but believed that some time would
be required to arrange to substitute free

cause of the fact that the convicts at
No. II were to be used in the operation
of Banner mine, owned by the Pratt Con-
solidated Coal and Iron company. Wit

Oakley the question of renewing the con-
tract in November, 1911. Mr.. Percy said

Did Crawford Forget?
Is Alleged to Have Made Applica-
tion for Membership in Com
mittee, Despite Denial

Special-Senator Crawford of
South Dakota, in a recent author
lied statement regarding the
failure of either himself or his
colleague, Senator Sterling, to
secure membership on the senate
committe on Indian affairs,
which handles more South Da-
kota business than all other
senate committees combined,
and upon which South Dakota
heretofore has been represented
since it's admission to statehood,
said he made no application for
himself. The senator in this
matter may have forgotten" as
he said he did about the letter
he wrote October 9th, 1912, from
Centerville, S. D., to the depart
ment of justice, asking clemency
for Charles L. Hyde of Pierre.
Against this statement of Sen.
ator Crawford stands the word
a leading republican member of
the United States senate, sup.
ported by the word of two other
republican senator's, whose repu-
tation for truth and veracity is
said to be good in their own
states, that Senator Crawford
did make it known that he would
like to be appointed on the Indi-
an affairs committee, and there
also is the indisputable fact that
Senator La Toilette tried to help
him get on the committee, and
this too, after Senator Sterling
had expressed his preference for
membership on the committee.
The really important fact to
South Dakota is that the state,
with an Indian population of
10000, is not represented on the
United States senate committee
on Indian affairs.
