Iowa democrats will have only three seats in the next congress, but they have increased their representation by precisely 200 per cent. Tama Jim Wilson and Philander Knox were great little forecasters when they said they would leave their cabinet positions on March 4. Greece and Turkey made common mistake of not preparing for war in times of peace. The result is that both have very inferior navies. It really doesn't matter, after all, whether the South Dakota presiden tial electors cast their ballots for Roosevelt or for Taft, so far as the result is concerned. Senator Knute Nelson has been de clared the choice of the people of Minnesota for another term in the United States senate. He has been in the senate since January, 1895. It is ever idle to blame any admin istration for the price of wheat. Just remember that it is the Liverpool, England, board of trade which regulates the wheat prices of the world With Cuba in a state of political fermentation, Mexico showing signs of another possible disturbance, coDgress soon to open, and the Balk an states still in the limelight, news paper readers should not fear a short age of readable items. -v.. "5^ The Fourth National Bank, of New York city, in its monthly statement of general business conditions in the United States says that the outlook is excellent in all branches of industry, commerce and agriculture. Official returns from six South Da kota counties have been received at the office of the secretary of state. They give majorities of twoto one for the Richards primary bill and seven to one for the headlight bill. Congress will meet in joint session on the 12th of February to canvass the electoral vote for president and vice president of the United States. It is unlikely that the task will present any complications. 5^}-.. The Deadwood Telegram springs Tueodore Roosevelt as its candidate for president in 1916. The Telegram is precipitate, and possibly unwise. There is no reason to believe the col onel will be any more popular in 1916 than he is in 1912. That the cost of living has been in? creasing very rapidly the past year is shown in a special statement issued last week by the department of agri culture. According to the statement a year ago beef cattle sold for $4.32 per 100 pounds, and now brings the farmer $5.36, an increase of about 25 percent. The prices of veal calves, hogs, sheep, milch cows, butter and eggs have also soared. The colonel assures himself and the public that he has won a victory in securing second place in the race, but it is a victory that will not hurt any body. He calls it a victory because it will enable him to perfect his new party organization and go for the re publicans next time with deadly in tention. Yet the bull moosies here abouts are referring to his success in South Dakota as a republican victory, What kind of a lot are they, anyway? Up to the present claims have been filed with the state auditor for $13, 729 on the fund for payment for horBeB which have been killed under orders of the state authorities on ac count of the animals being glandered. The total annual appropriation for settlement of such claims is fifteen thousand dollars, and as claimants have until the first of January to file claims, the total amount will no doubt be taken up before that time. If it is true, as has been semi-offl cially stated, that Goverhor Wilson is going to appoint Bryan his secretary of state, Dr. Wiley his* secretary of agriculture and Brandeis his attorney general, he is giving, evidence of a good start. These selections strike the keynote of popular sentiment. Es pecially gratifying will it be if Dr. Wiley is given jurisdiction over his enemies, and the ensmies of consum ers 6f food, in the agricultural de partment.And Brandeis is some Unmotatottorf ft—to. and Col tional had no crowds HTCJRSDAY. NOVEMBER 14, 1912 TIE DURABLE BRYAN As a time simply jbave tested campaigner you to give it to William Jenninis Bryan. With Gov. Wilson Roosevelt both off the na ircuit recently, Col. Bryan ompetition in ability to draw Wiih the two presidential I candidates in the competition, and with frank curiosity adding thousands to their every audience, Bryan re mained in a class by himself in the essential of pleasing his audience. During the campaign Bryan was bill ed in the south, the west, and finally in the east. From all directions re ports have been the same. Every where the Bryan meetings have been attended by thousands where other spellbinders draw only hundreds. And everywhere the Bryan gatherings met the specifications of what politi cians call "good meetings." It is somewhat astonishing to see Bryan keeping up the pace set by himself as a campaigner. In his case the element of curiosity long since ceased to serve as au attraction. Bryan has been on the-lecture plat form practically without interruption ever since 1836. The charm of his oratory was first advertised in the year when he first lost the presidency During the years that followed Bryan, the orator, became a familiar figuie in every state of the union. On the Chautauqua or lyceum platform, or on the stump during political cam paigns, Bryan was to be heard often, here, there and everywhere, rv-yst -./.- COUNTY SEAT CONTESTS Bison wins the permanent county seat of Perkins county by a plurality of 450 over Leramon and a clear ma jority over all of about 300, in a total vote of about 2400. The voters of Corson county voted against division In Ziebach county Dupree won out as perm%pent couuty seat by 88 ma jority, and in Devvey county Timber Lake retains the county seat by a plurality of 26 over Isabel, but as it did not get a majority vote, the coun ty capital is not permanently located there. tr.S'S igfi RECEIVER BESANCON. Rapid City, S. D., Nov. 11,—On request of Ben M. Wood, one of the owners of the Gate City Guide, dem ocratic weekly paper published here, a receiver was appointed who now has charge of the office. In the pet ition for a receiver, allegations are made that W. J. Todd, the other owner of the paper, who has had charge of the business, has not made accounting to his partner as agreed. Judge McGee appointed E. E. Bes anccon, publisher of the Advocate at Blunt, receiver for the firm. He has given a bond of $1,000 for the proper preformance of his duty, and further undertaking of &500 to in demnify. W. J. Todd against loss should be be able to show that his partner's action was not- justified. He is given thirty days iu which to answer the complaint. NOTED SOCIALIST DEAD Girard, Kan., Nov. 11.—Julius A Waylund, owner of the Appeal to Reason, the leading Socialist paper in the United States, committed sui cide in his home here by discharging an automatic revolver in his mouth. He left a note saying: "The strug gle under the competitive system is not worth while." Mrs. Wayla nd was killed in an au tomobile accident a year ago, and since then Wayland had been melan choly at times. ROOSEVELT LEAD 9144 With the counties of Tripp and Perkins yet to report, the Byrne ma jority for governor is 3,487, the Byrne vote getting close to the total vote for Vessey two years ago. The Roosevelt lead with the same counties yet out is 9,144. The vote shows that there "were 3, 505 more votes cast for the office of governor than for president on the two leading tickets, showing that a number who voted for governor fail ed to vote for president, or voted for some of the minority candidates. f-r, TEMPTATION .. Louisville Courier-Journal: Per sons who never had the slightest hankering for political honors are tempted by the investigating com mittee's revelations to run for office in the hope that George Perkins wi 11 send 'em $30,000 or so. He's so gen cral ia his generous attentions. REPUBLICANS TO ORGANIZE. at Huron Huronite: "I am gratified the state returns, as I desired to see the whole republican ticket elect said Governor Vessey to a newspaper interviewer. The gover nor is the South Dakota member of national bull moose committee, ap* pointed during the progress of the bolters' convention at Chicago. W The Sioux Falls Press says that South Dakota is one of the few states of the union now entirely re publican". Just after having elect ed five bull moose presidential elec tors, boltei8 from the republican parly. Th? Mitchell Republican assumes that it is strongly entrenched in the republican party, after giving sup port through the campaign to the nominees who bolted the republican party at. Chicago, and that the news papers that opposed the election of the candidate of the bolters are out of the party. Thus is appears to be design of the bull moosies to officiate as mem bers of two political parties and to control the organization of two part ies, through appointment at Chicago and through theft at Huron Under these conditions, it become? an imperative duty on the part of the republicans of the state to come to gether in a representative capacity and create au organization arouud which party the republicans can group itself for business purposes and cast out the men who have affiliated with another party. Mr. Roosevelt, their leader, has said that his defeat of Taft at the late election gave his party a stand ing in the political family and that it could now perfect and maintain its organization and defeat the republi can party at the liext election. Mr. Roosevelt's running mate, Mr. Johnson, declared, a day or two ago, that a result of the election was "a new party in the nation thathas come to stay—a Dew life in politics that marks a better national existence." All declarations tend to the perpet uation of the party to which Mr. Vessey, the Sioux Falls Press and Mitchell Republican belong. Through usurpation of authority, it has taken possession of the machinery of the republican party and has announced that it intends to direct the destinies of that party, while admitting allegi ance to the Itooseveit party. Republicans can do nothing more nor less than take over that which belongs to them. KilDAKOTA MAN LYNCHED Steele, N. D., Nov. 9.—A mob of 50 men tooii George Baker, charged with the murder of his wife and father-in law, from the jail here and hanged him within the city limits. Baker shot his wife and father-in-law at Dawson just after returning from California. Feeling against him was high and every effort made to protect him from mob violence, and it was for this reason that he was brought here. -V* 'SOME FUN AHEAD. Argus-Leader: Republicans mem bers of the legislature who voted for Dean Sterling for senator will be helping to continue the fight against the republican party. The time for the seperation has come—in South Dakota, as elsewhere. It will not hereafter be possible to use the re publican name and the republican votes to elect the candidates of an other party. The first test in South Dakota will come on the election of a United States senator. No republi can member of the legislature feels bound to vote for Sterling who has left the republican party unless he favors the third party. That at least should seem very clear. THE PRIMARY SUSTAINED The returns, as far as they are of ficially reported, give robust majori ties for the Richards primary bill, not a county failing to support the measure that the legislature refused to enact. Herein is shown the value of the referendum privilege. Guided by a vicious machine, the legislative body set its face against a reform that those who elected them were calling for. Against the peoplef also, was the state and federal official combination. The opposition was strong in influ ence and in dogged determination to thwart the popular demand. But the little ballot has destroyed the opposi tion. The voters of the state have enacted a good law. & v~ f: 0**'V-& NO. 28 HON. E. S. JOHNSON Whether or no Hon. E. 8. Johnson is finally declared elected next gov ernor of South Dakota all must admit that the campaign he made was a wonderful one. Starting with the as. sertion that he was more interested in the success of the national demo* cratic ticket than he was in his own, he lent every endeavor to that snd both in his personal work and in ths activities of his headquarters. Ths unselfishness of it appealed, as did also the sterling qualities of the man, and voters by thousands in every sec tion of the state scratched their bal lota to put an before his nams and to vote for the uational ticket for whiih he fought so hard and so clean ly. Other things, of course, contribute ed to his wonderful vote getting, not ably treachery of the bull moose movement in the state as initiated at Huron—but Johuson was able to pro fit by every advautage that come to him as few,men could have done. Be cause of his personality, his ability and, most of all, his record, he was able to unite and use to the fullest every particle of opposition to Mr. Uyrne or the party he represented and to combine it into an organiza tion that has wiped out a normal re publican majority in this state that was believed to be too large to be overcome. It was a big thing to do and it wai done fairly and in a big way. It marks Mr. Johnson as a big man and he will and must be considered in the big public affairs of South Dakota and of the nation from this time.— Yankton Press and Dakotan. (Rep.) TRUSTS OPPOSE TO LAW Former Attorney General 8. W. Clark has gone to Washington where he will appear before the United States supreme court on behalf of tha state of South Dakota, to argue the case of the State vs. The Central Lumber Co. This case involves the constitutionality of the anti-discrimi nation law enacted by the state legis lature in 1907. This law was enacted for the protection of independent deal ers in lumber, coal and petroleum products. This law provides that dealers in these products who have a number of retail yards or distribut ing stations throughout the state, must charge the same price for their products at all of such distributing stations, takiug into consideration the difference in freight charges. The case was started on the com plaint of an independent lumber deal er at Leola, who alleged that the Cen tral Lumber Co., was endeavoring to force him out of business by ruinous competition of Leola while charging extortionate prices in yards at other points within the state. OREGON SETTLES IT Washington, Nov. 11.—The posi tive announcement of the success of Harry Lane, the democratic candi date for the senate in Oregon assures democratic control of the upper bouse of congress and places both branches of the legislature and the presidency in their hands for the first time, in 18 years. The addition of Oregon to the democratic list gives that party 49 senators, or a majority of two. In addition to the election of suc cessors democratic senators now sit ting, democrats will displace repub lican senators from Oregon, New Jer sey, Kansas, Colorado, Montana, Delaware aud Nevada and will fill the vacancy in Colorado with a man of their choosing. The contest in Illinois where two senators are to be chosen and in Ten nessee and Michigan remain to be de cided. The democrats make positive claims concerning some of these states, but whatever the result in any or all of them, democratic control of the senate is assured and the demo crats will be able to shape legislation if harmony prevails among them, FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE The results of the recent campaign gave a big- boost to the cause of suf frage for women. Three states Ari zona, Oregon and Kansas have surely been added to the list af those giving full suffrage to women, making nine in all. The result in Michigan is very close, and they may win oat tbeip so.
