commenting upon tie interview of
Coe |. Crawford at Aberdeen. as
pu 'Dlished in the American of that
city on the 18th instant in whicL
the senator is quoted rs saying:
L have talked with a very stroHg
progressive in your city today and
this man mad especial mention of
the consistency OF The progressive
republican platform and that if the
prog essives were successful in the
primaries there would be no OppO-
Sition in the field by third party
in the coming election. On the
other hand this man assured me
that if the prOgressives were not
successful il the primaries, al en-
tire progressive state ticket would
be put in the field by petition"
I have not said anything before,
believing that the Senator would
deny or repudiate the statement
attributed to him, but as he has
not, | assume he has been quoted
correctly. If the statement is in
tended as a threat for the purpose
of benetitting his candidacy, he Ger.
tainly undere: Inmates the intelli-
gence and loyalty Of the republi-
,an voters of South Dakota, and |
am confident upon reflection that
he will change his attitude and will
publicly declare his willingness and
intention to abide by the results of
the primary. If he meant to infer
that he will bolt and favor an in
dependent ticket if he is not noml-
mated at the primary election, | am
sure he IS the only candidate pro-
posed on either republican ticket
who entertains such an opinion,
and am certain that other repub-
lican candidates will do, as | pro
pose doing, accept In good faith
the verdict Of the majority of the
registered Republican voters VINO
participate in the primary election
on March oath, and not only refuse
to be an independent candidate,
but discourage the placing in the

mated IN the primary. cannot
conceive how anyone submitting
his candidacy to a primary could
