loan ticket, before the electors for the March pri-
% maries, is composed, to the extent of fifty per cent,
Q of men who were outspokenly for Mr.. Crawford
- six years ago.
o These men are not gallery players, but are
0 sincere progressives who believe in progression
a abroad as well as at home; who believe, with Con
o gresham Chas. II. Burke, that a representative
0 Of a great state, should be the same mt Washing
: ton as he is at home; who stand with Mr.. Burke
q for progressive ideas when it comes to e~nacting
O laws Of either a national or state character at the
, time the laws are under consideration and at the
: time the vote is being recorded at the capitol;
) who do not believe that it is good political ethics
D TO be radically progressive on the stump during
, and Immediately preceding primary campaigns
and at practically all other times to be aligned
with the representatives of "vested interests

!, during his last campaign, as follows: Judge Nc
D Nuity, of Aberdeen, who was chairman Of the
. convention which nominated Crawford for gov
2 ernor; Z. S. Everitt of Sphinx county, who was
I Governor Byrne's campaign manager in 1912; j.
D u. Keller of Winner, one of the strong men in
, the country west of the river; Asa Forrest, Jr, of
: Canton, whose influence for Crawford in Lincoln
I county was said to be marked; Fred L. Shaw, who
, resides in Mr.. Crawford's own city of Huron, and
, Frank GIasner of Bon Homme county, who, with
I Judge McNulty, was a strong worker for Craw-
, ford.
y The fact that SO many former Crawford sup
2 porters are now arrayed with the forces that are

p to indicate the weakness Of the majority nomi-
nee for the senate,
5 INTERLOCKING SYSTEM MUST GO.
9 We quite agree with President Wilson, In bis
8 recent message to congress, that the lnterlocklng
q system Of directorates is inimical to the interests
Y = of the country.
$ While the congressional investigation, insti-
Is tuted some years ago, failed to show that all the
10 ills to which the country has been heir could be
81 traced to the interlocking system, enough devel-
u oped To Indicate that it is a dangerous power IN
10 the hands of INSCRIPTIONS men. inns much was
oo admitted by the great fnanciers themselves, who
a. of course, did not concede that they would be a
50 all likely to take advantage of their opportun
20 ities.
We do not think that the prohibiting OF the IN
50 t~eriocking of directorates will cure existing evils
So but ii will be at least one step in the right direc
Oe ton.
Iii Il to be hoped that congress will not hesitat
ce to follow the suggestion Of President Wilson ]
90 this respect, although it is known that the senat
o0 Of the United States refused to accept Senate
LaFollette's proposed amendment to8the currenc
50 law to the effect that the system be prohibited
