Senatorial Candidate ! Want Legislaton

OPPOSITION TO THE THOMPSON BO
Editorial In the Lincoln Journal 1
fleet * the Sentiment of the Ai
plrnntN Who Want the Mat
ter Openly Decided.
LINCOLN , Dec. 6. ( Special. ) The sc
torlal situation continues to bo the cl
topic of conversation * among the polltlcl
who drift In and out of Lincoln. The i
cusslon now seems to , turn on the quest
whether or not the different candidates
agree to go Into a caucus at the outeet.
Is Intimated that n combination may
formed to refuse to join In any caucus prc
tltlon that does not protect tbo weaker c
dldjites by requiring a two-thirds or thi
fourths majority to make the action of
caucus binding.
The Interesting phase of the local sltua
IB the growing belief that D. E. Thonif
has a grip upon the whole Lancaster coti
delegation. This Is emphasized byan i
torlal article In this morning's Journal
which that paper , although nolorlcusl ;
Durllngton organ , warns republican meml
against supporting any one directly or It
rcctly connected with the old ring ,
cause of this outburst , although no no
are mentioned , Is taken to be the grow
candidacy of Thompson.
The article Is as follows , under the (
tlon , "The Next Senator. "
There Is a great deal of discussion gen <
on all over the state , pending the meci
of the legislature , concerning the senate
campaign , and republicans In every coi
are taking more than the usual interes
It. It is the conviction of the republic
everywhere that the future of the party
pcndn largely upon the character and ab
of the man that t'hall finally be selectci
succeed Mr. Allen.
Hn must be a man who has the res
of the l/irty at large and \vho o record
been clean and whose canvass shall bo al
P / rnpioach. He must not bo directly or
motely connected with scandals that hav
IA the past brought the party to disgrace
caused its defeat. Ho must have c
hands and be a recognized political lea
n inun altogether competent to rcprpsei
Ki-rat state in the higher court of the
tltm.
tltm.Every republican In tbo legislature Is
atoustlilo to his district and thu party
the manner In which ho parts his vote
lha motives that prompt his selection <
candidate. If the great mass of rcpublli
lu the Btate , the peep ; who have no i
to grind , no personal favors to BO ]
should be disappointed In the outcome o (
senatorial election , the prospects of fu
success at the polls In the present c
elate of voting will bo exceedingly sr
So much ilcitads ) on the vlsdom of
choice next month of the republican eai
that It la uot lit all to bo wondered at
there * is much unrest and ntixlety.
It will bo well for the merabers-clec
declare themselves as. early np posalbli
lellevo this n-nxlety and to relieve th
selves nlso of Iho suspicion of waiting
bids. When a man makes up his mind
declares It while he Is In touch with
rouBtltucuts , in accordance with the
opinions of thopy who clocle-d him , he nv
a great deal of the criticism that la ar
follow him If ho doesn't know whom h
for until the last moment , just soon em
to cast his ballot. Many members 1
- doubtless clone ho , but there are sMd ti
nthors who. . elon't expect to know What
ore going to do until they get Into cau
tireene'n Peculiar Method * .
The popuKsts of this locality are
narlly glad to see Congressman Grecni
the Slxj.h district , as he represents a
Mnatjtand | ! _ a style -politic * that has h
tofore been much In-favor among the t
radical members of the party. But
natural liking for Greene has been cou
with the belief that be Is a statesman
Mas losing no opportunity to serve
state. In the recent coinpalgn , ho we
On-ene dropped somewhat In the estlma
of hla former admirers and the largo
crease in his majority Indicated that
jieopfe of the Sixth district are gettlr
little tired of him. Today the rcfon
here were both surprised and dlsgu

Control.
YANKTON , S. D. , Dec. 6. ( Special. ) Th
state dispensary law , which was adopted b
the people of South Dakota at the rcceti
election as an amendment to the constltu
tlon , and which Is a subject of much ills
eusslon at present throughout the etatc , wl
probably be repealed before It becomes op
cratlve. "The manufacture and sale of In
' .oxlcatlng liquors shall be under cxohislv
ttalo control" Is the wordlnR of the constl
tutlonal amendment and it 4s construed t
nean that the state must manufacture a
the liquor It dispenses , hence the enormou
ixpcnse attendant upon the necessary equlr
ncnt. But the amendment does not ca
or any auch construction. It Implies th ;
all of that liquor which la manufactured I
the state shall bo under the. control of tt
state. It does not mean that the brewerU
or distilleries shall be owned and operate
by the state ; elmply that they shall be ur
dcr Its conlrrl , presumably as they are no
under the control of the revenue dopari
mcnt , only , perhaps , under more strlnget
espionage.
It Is true that there IB no available fur
for the purpose of getting the business ci
tablUhed , but there are hundreds of llqw
firms who would be willing to advance a
the needed stock. It Is well understood th :
the pe-ple of the state do not deslro tl
state dlspencary system. Less than om
third of the total vote was polled upon th
question and In view of this It Is propose ,
after It shall have been duly declared
law , to submit a proposition to the peep
at the next general election for the repc ;
of the statute.
It Is understood that the populists wl
fight for the dispensary system because
Involves the appointment of 300 Inspector
who will bo appointed by Governor Lee ,
seated. The republicans are on record :
favoring and supporting the present blf
license liquor law which was adopted tw
years ago and which has given very got
satisfaction.
The framing of a liquor law In conformli
with the state dispensary amendment wl
undoubtedly call together the largest lobt
of liquor men which has ever attended
legislative session. In reply to a queatlc

do In this direction a prominent brewer sali
"What If the legislature falls to frame ar

Poialble Content on Governor.
Hlnta are made that a large number <
ballots bearing only the name of Ooverni
A. B. Leo and stamped with a counterfe
official rtamp have been found among tl
ballots In a number of precincts In th
state. If this be true an average of thri
such ballots to a precinct1 would accompli !
just such a condition ' { affalre as now e :
Ists and which will probibly result in Kli
O. Phillips , republlcan"contcetlng the ele
tlon for the governorship. Quite a numb
of such ballots have been counted by tl
judges and clerks of election , but ha'
been marked and set aside In case of contn
versy. It la on the strength of these ballo
that the republicans hope to show that Go'
ernor Lee lacks a great many votes of b
Ing re-elected.
As an Indication that fraud wae prat
tlced by stuffing the ballot , It Is allegi
that It Is known who had the counterfe
official ballot stamps made and where thi
were manufactured. Another conclusl'
evidence of fraud Is the discovery of mo
ballots In the box In two precincts th :
were delivered to the clerks prior to ele
tlon , while In other Instance * whole pacl
ages of blank official ballots are mtsslt
and could have been distributed In adjoli
Ing precincts for the purposes of fraud.
