Inshis uaznpAiGn thus stas Governor
Cdr has sxhibited IN striking way
ths quaiitiss. of thsfsmaM politician.
with the whole nstion demanding
leadership OF the most constructive
xinla. and with problems OF the grav-s
est character pressing for solution. he
has devoted the greater part OF his
time and effort to throwing mud at,
the opposition, and to intlaming pas
sion and strengthening prejudice.
Doubtlem Governor Cox has in-g
tended his charges against the imam
cial management Of the Republican
campaign TO be the climak Of; the first
stage Of his campaign. And . pitifuls
climax It iss Using all the arts Of the
demagogue ,tp whet the public appe-
tite for the sensational. and seeking to
hold opinion In suspense by indicating
that at some later date proof would be
furnished Of charges made in the most
sensational manner. giving the Inn
precision that he "a about to expose
some dark and disreputabe secret to
which he alone held the key, he pre-
scented at last with a grand flourish
facts which had -b4en made public
from time to time by the Republican
committee itself and perverted those
facts, and presented as facts other
statements based .on.A faxed list which
has no standing whatever.
The charge that the Republican.
committee iH raising a campaign fund
Of improper size. to be used in an inn
proper manner. is being dealt with
very capably by the officers Of the
committee. They may be relied on to,
do justice to the situation. But aside
from this the manne in which the
charges have been Matched up, the
name in which Governor Cox has
distorted facts, the emphasis which he
has placed on his distortions, and the
perfect consistency which exists be-
tween his handling Of this feature and
other items which have marked his
campaign from the beginning demon
strate that he is a man Of small call
ibre who Is utterly out Of place in a
national campaign.
The revelation which Governor Cox
has thus Tar made Of his own tenden-
cies makes It easy to understand why
itstssthat in his own state. where he
is5hssstsknowhn, while he has been
eascsedsto ONCE many times, he has
never been elected in a straight con-
test with a single antagonist, and has
usually, II not always. run materially
behind his own ticket He has been
skillful in capitalizing party schisms
and factional dissensionz but he has
yet to be elected, on the strength Of
his own character or as the recog-
nized advocate of a constructive pro-
gram.

Roosevelt has taken possession Of the
Democratic heart, il we r to judge
from the present utterances Of Demo

Roosevelt was the target for more
abuse from Democratic quarters than
has eve been hurled at any other one

dictator. He a charged with being
ambitious to establish a military au-
tocracy n Nthis country, with himself
at its head. He was said to be in
league with big business in an effort
to exploit and victimize the masses Of

MONDAY EVENING. AUG. 50. 1927
FRS THEIR FIGHT.

The fight between former
instlne management OF the Nonpartisan
league and associated enterprises Is
OF interest I o the people Of the state
only as it tends to place them ! n pos
session of information concerning the
corrupt methods which have undoubt-
eddy been used in the management OF
the affairs of the state, and as 1t
tends to reveal more clearly the real
character Of men whom they have
been taught to trust n honor.
Whether or not Waters collects So
600 from Townley; whether or not
sLemke and Townley, who are no more
closely associated than these two have
bean with Brinton and Waters, shall
part company as these others have
done; whether any two OF the group
stal1 prove their charges against the
others; or whether n their mutual re-
examinations all four shall stand con-
vfcted: all these things are of minor
interest to the general public of the
state. and especially to those who have
been active In the prosecution OF the
Independent campaign
The point in the whole situation
IS that there has been rottenness In
the league inner circle, n that this
has affected the entire government of
the state, In so far as the state gov
eminent is identical with, or sub
servient to the management Of the
league. Waters and Brinton make GER
tain definite charges against Townley
and Lemke. The latter respond by
making other charges against their
accusers. If Waters and Brinton arc
the sort Of men that Townley and
Lemke say they are, the latter ART
guilty for associating in, terms OF bust
ness and political intimacy with such
men, knowing their character as they
have done all along. If Waters and
Brinton are telling the truth they con-
yic-- themselves Of willing co-opera-
tan with a pair <of constituencies

Mild Weather
Making Slow
Coal Demand

Be-.-4.se of the mild nature OF the
winter, the local coal dealers have
not been hard pressed in supplying
the public with coal. The opposite
has been the case, and many of the
coal dealers, not only in Sisseton
but in other towns as we'll, have had
to do a little urging to get the pub
lie to buy. Not many of the people,
especially farmers, have any amount
of coal in their bins at this time.
They have, as a rule, bought only
what they really needed and have
waited for prices to drop. But the
prices have not fallen to any great
etxent in this section of the country
In the east, however, coal is much
cheaper in certain grades than it
has been before But most of the
coal that gets to us was bargained
for some time ago. and the local
coal dealers have not been in posi-
tion to do anything else than to pay
the prices and charge accordingly
If prices have risen on coal lately,
the price to the local dealer would
have risen also on that which was
already in store altho the cost of
mining had not affected that which
had been mined, and the local deal
er would have been forced to raise
the price in order to come out right,
and the consumer would naturally
pay the bill.
If the present spell of cold
weather continues for any length OF
time, there will be more empty wag-
on boxes coming to town in a few
days
