The horses In this part of the coun

Blxby on the "Third. "
"Doc" Blxby , the genial port-phil
osopher of the Lincoln Journal , has
taken a glance or two at the Howard
Latta fight now raging In this district
and has dashed off his views , poetical
and otherwise , In the following para
graphs :
Interest naturally turns from the
national contest to one of more par
tlcular and Immediate Importance in
the Third congressional district. I
is not a contest where one great po
lltlcal organization Is pitted ngalns
another. It Is a battle royal between
two Democratic statesmen , In which
ono has a newspaper of his OWE
through which to speak his convlc
tlniiH and the other has lo roach the
( at and nndorxt'inillnu of hU people
UK mgli oilier nnd more tound about
mi iiiiulH Incidental , perhaps a col
liiuall ) , Dan Stephens \\lio happens
0 InliHlrmaii of the Dotnnciniic
iliinnl contra ! committee , fa
the man who Is without a IICUH
mpcr to voice hist burning convlc
IOIIH. In short Dan Stephens Is for
lie nomination of J. P. Latta , and
ludgo Howard who opposes him Is
ery much aniunod thereat. In the
ant Issue of his Columbus Toli-gram.
intl In a breezy campaign paper dated
it Fremont , ho calls upon his op-
lononts In the name of Thomas Jof-
erstm to come doun and meet him
m the level or quit the game. Ho
iccusos his opponent not only of us
ng money contrary to the principles
if the Democratic party , but of wink
ng at R. II , Schneider when ho passed
Mm on the snoot on the Hteonth day
) f June at 1:01 : p. m. The Judge
loesn't mind going down to defeat In
ho race providing lie IIIIH an oven
banco , but to be hobbled by the
referee and then penalized seven
yards for an off-side play , taxes his
; oed nature beyond the limit of any-
hlng like patient endurance. Ho has
nickled on his armor , and declares
that from this tUmo until primary
lay It Is a fight and not a footrace nu
'ar as ho Is concerned.
Ho scorns these rotten cliques and
rings ,
He scorns Judge's Latta's padded
puree ,
He scorns a lot of other things
That make a patriot's cause look
worse.
ile scorns the man who hears him
call ,
And will not answer , "Hero am 1 ; "
! Ie scorns Dan Stephens worse than
nil
The skates who pass him up and
by.
And now , as soon must dawn the morn
Of his defeat or his success ,
He makes a specialty of scorn ,
Ho rends the air In his distress.
1 would not howl till I was hearse
Were I In E < lgar Howard's shoes ;
I would let nature take her course
And be content to win or lose.
To get excited In a race
And saw the air nnd rave like sin
It makes It bad In either case ,
No matter If you lose or win.
Honestly , It would look better were
Dan Stephens to slide gracefully Into
the background ami let the Demo
crats of the Third district make
choice of a candidate for congress
on the merits of the men who aspire
to be chosen.
Edgar Howard may go down to sad
but glorious defeat , but watch and you
will see the Hag Hying when the ship
sinks.

"Platform" and an "Address. "
G. W. Whltchorn of Spencer wouItT
like to go to the state legislature HP.
the Republican representative of Knox :
and Royd counties. Ho Is not alone *
In this ambition and to further his in
terests Is distributing among thc
voters of the district his card bearliifr
a platform and an appeal , which art-
both rather unique.
Here Is the way Mr. Whltehorn goes :
at the voter :
1 am fifty-six , the age of Columbus
when he discovered America ; of G _
Washington when he was oloetort
president ; and older than Charles r
when he was beheaded. Wonder It
1 will get it In the neck myself.
I ought to belong to some churrT/
but I don't , not oven a lodge.
I would be a poet , a prohlhltlonlsf
and a socialist If I had time , but r
spent thirteen unlucuy years on nc
homestead and have got to hurry ,
hurry , hurry.

mary for representative , Knox anil

Politicians may spoil it before you
get another chance.
Lumber for a platform :
What do you thlntt of :
A county road boss ?
Printing all official acts just once ?
A II mill state school tax ?
The 'State paying tax on It's land ?
Uncle Sam paying tax on Indlau
land ?
A district attorney instead of M
county attorney ?
School boards electing one of theli-
own members superintendent oC
schools at about $500 ?
Paying the saloon license money to
the county school fund ?
Disfranchising the farmers on the-
liquor question. I cal option will al
low them to vote.

Gregory County's Institute Closes- .
Fairfax , S. D. , Aug. 22. Special to
The News : Yesterday marked the
close of probably the most interesting
and profitable teachers' Institute over
held In Gregory county.
Each session of the entire ten days
has been largely attended , the at
tendance running as high as sovcnty-
five teachers besides quite a good
sprinkling of visitors , school officers
and others.
Nearly sixty of the teachers took ,
the examination last Friday and Sat
urday the largest class ever ex
amined at ono time In the county.
Greater Interest seems manifest
every where for more and better
schools though Dr. Warren's lecture
Monday evening was largely a plea
not for more but fewer and better
schools , advocating the consolidated
school. The lecture was well re
ceived.
