am only speaking of the things that l
have accomplished myself Many
other things have been done that are
not enumerated here.
Happily, the time had come when
we might realize something on the
long period of instruction to which
we were doomed as members of the
minority party, and on the 4th day of
March, 1913, we found ourselves in
complete control of every branch of
the government. A time had arrived
when fair test of my efficiency as a
senator, and my standing as a party
man, was to be made by those who
were best qualified by personal know
ledge and observation to estimate it
properly, and to reward it adequately.
When the Democratic caucus as
sembled for the purpose of organiz-
ing working force to take charge of
the constructive and affirmative work
of the Senate, was again made a
member of the Steering Committee.
Much discussion arose as to the pro
per person to serve as chairman of the
caucus, or, as he is popularity called,
the leader of the Democratic organiza-
tion in the Senate. Necessarily, many
distinct groups developed | had
committed myself to the support of
one of the older senators with whom

service began. His candidacy did not
meet with the popular approval, large
ly because he did not cultivate the
acquaintanceship OF the younger men,
bers, nor was he thought to be suffi-
ciently well equipped as a public de-
bator to take care of party issues as
they were developed from time to time
on the floor of the Senate. Whilz
the matter was still undisposed of. a
committee Of senators waited upon me
to say that if it should please me to
accept that place, that twenty-eight
senators had authorized them to say
they would vote for me. | was not
at liberty to accept this very generous
and much appreciated offer, because

PROGRESSIVE" AND "sTALWART."

Whatever theory may be advanced for the defeat of Congress-
man Burke for the senatorial toga, it is obvious that the so-called
ktstalwarts'' Of South Dakota, in the main, stand by their bargains
while it is equally obvious that the progressive leaders were either
unable or unwilling to live up to their agreements.
Along about the opening Of the fall campaign it was heralded
abroad by the so-called progressive" leaders, and the same was
bruited IN the so-called progressive newspapers, that the pro
gressive" candidates for state and congressional places could not be
elected without "stalwart' votes, and that in order for Byrne and
the state ticket to succeed it was necessary for the progresaves' to
line up for Nh. Burke. In other words, it was a trade, or a bargain,
or whatever one may choose to term it-a mutual understanding
whereby each faction was to accord the nominees belonging to the
other wing cordial and loyal support.
The election returns indicate that the '.stalwart element stood
pat, as it We're, with a few scattering exceptions, whereas the other
wing of the party failed to "return the compliment. >
The Saturday News has no sore spot in connection with the
campaign. 1t Is merely stating a fact, as it sees the situation, and
as 1t inpresses itself upon the mind Of one who has carefully looked
over and considered the returns of the election.
In Beadle county, for instance, the home of Senator Crawford,
who pledged himself to abide by the result Of the primaries, the re-
publican state ticket was accorded very satisfactory support, while
Congressman Burke was knitted without stint. Similar conditions,
but with less consplcuouSness, were disclosed in other localities.
The whole scheme of the republican state machine for the past
four years has been to put a certain Redfed gentleman-one Peter
Norbeck-into the executive chair of South Dakota in 1916. Burke s
election might possibly have seriously endangered the scheme
hence, Mr.. Burke was slaughtered,
The Saturday News is not particularly concerned in Nh. Burkeis
defeat, although it believes the state has sustained a distinct loss
through 1t, but 1t feels that the republican machine has not acquitted
itself with especial credit in the transaction.

SUFFRAGE N STATEWIDE PROHIBITION.

Calling attention to the fact that statewide prohibition carried
in Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Arizona, all equal suffrage
states, the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader says that it will not henceforth
be argued that the adoption of the equal suffrage amendment in South
Dakota would not be followed by statewide prohibition.
The Saturday News is disposed to believe that perhaps equal
suffrage may have a tendency to throw a state into the statewide
prohibition column sooner than otherwise would be the case, but it
calls the attention of it's Sioux Falls contemporary TO the vote of
approximately two hundred thousand majority against prohibition
in California, which is also a equal suffrage state.
If it shall be contended that equal suffrage has brought about
statewide prohibition of the liquor traffic in the four states men
toned by the ArgusLeader, then what shall we say of California

A DISTRICT FAIR.

The organization of the Livestock Breeders Association in Cod.
lngton county, with its annual sale of booded animals, forces upon
the breeders the matter of providing adequate facilities for their
sales. It IS beyond reason to expect that livery barns will answer
the purpose except as temporary expedicnts. .

are to be a sueeess-such a success as they should bet is essential
