President Taft approves Ormsby McHarg of North Dakota as attorney for the Choctaw Indians. The appointment follows McHarg’s controversial past with the Republican campaign and conservation clashes under Ballinger Pinchot.
The piece questions a policy defended by McHarg and notes the planned disposal of coal and asphalt lands valued at 63 million dollars owned by the Cherokee Indians, whom McHarg would represent. The scheme, described as wasteful, appears ill advised despite possibly not being outright wrong.
Elk Point resident Edward Charles Ericson, long serving in the territorial and state legislature and former president of the state board of regents, has died. He was noted for public service, peaceable nature, and steadfast dedication to right living, earning widespread respect and admiration.
Former Governor Sam Elrod declares his bid for the Republican nomination after the Stalwart conference at Huron. The piece argues a fair contest is best and praises Elrod as an honest candidate, while noting no candidate is faultless and both Elrod and Vessey could govern 1911 to 1913.
A Chicago Tribune survey of editors in nine midwestern states shows Republican editors split over Speaker Cannon and the Aldrich tariff. Nationally 2,653 opposed Cannon, 546 favored his re election, while 2,696 distrusted the tariff and 812 approved it. In South Dakota 16 favored Cannon re election, 129 opposed, 28 pleased with the tariff, 121 not. The results suggest editors’ views vary and South Dakota GOP leaders remain cautious about Cannon.
The Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad president Earling warns of a low business mood and risks arguing with the authors of the so called best tariff law ever passed by Congress. The Sioux City Tribune notes no one has yet seen Mount McKinley for Dr. Cook, while the Kansas City Star says he has gone to Bermuda with the rest of the onions.
The article suggests the unusual appearance is due to the subject being granted freedom in the south pole region, a detail highlighted amid other notes about travel and residence.
The February 9 1910 item recalls insurgent legislators paying chief clerks 1080 dollars after adjournment for journal work. It claims this was unprecedented in state history and notes the journals are not yet issued.
