Anti-machine push reshapes South Dakota politics in insurgent wave
A lengthy editorial argues the railroad machine in Beadle and surrounding counties faces a rising anti machine movement. It names candidates like Co. H Lincoln county and Philo Hall Brookings county as anti machine for treasurer and congress, with Gamble and others as key insurgent figures. It notes Roosevelt's need to balance patronage between senators and district attorneys, and critiques the Sioux Falls Argus Leader and local editors while urging vigilance against machine influence.
