Democratic representatives plan a Denver meeting next week to renominate Wim J Bryan as presidential candidate. Bryan has twice led the party to defeat and is chosen again to prevent a third loss that would remove him from future consideration and require a candidate who can unite the party for victory.

Supporters of Crawford follow strange leaders and give to Bryan the state's electoral vote. They will back the Republican ticket in November.

He needs a Republican following voting for Bryan. Stalwarts require no watching. Burke and Martin have Republican support to win and are not anxious.
The piece argues Senator Kittredge is the GOP's choice in South Dakota for U.S. Senate, noting the June 9 verdict as contestable if tried in court. It contrasts his standing with a rival aided by Democrats and highlights the rival’s coalition-building and past victories.

The piece ridicules insurgent presses like the Yankton Press and Dakotan for reversing stance on Black Hills representation.

The author questions the inconsistency and motives behind the changing endorsements.
The Huronite urges Burke as the likely nominee for the unexpired Parker term, arguing he polled a larger primary vote than Martin in June and that insurgents cannot win Martin over or bypass the law governing vacancies.
