A Candid View.

The Vermillion Republican Of last week
has the following. 1t gives the situation
in clear and candid opinion, just as the
ADVOCATE Of last week did. We intend
to treat Mr.. Hand fairly and would like
to see the opponents Of Mr.. Pettigrew do
likewise. The article reads:
AS to the chances Of the leading candidates, It
seems to us, thst the present incumbent has de-
cided advantage at the present time, which viii
doubtless hold. Mr.. Pettierew has been . worry
active and efficient delegate, and should be treated
fairly He is entitled by all party usage ard pre-
cedent, to second term. He has few bitter
enemies, of old standing, who have been relnforced
during the last year by score more OF disap.
pointed office seekers, who let opportunity slip
to misrepresent and traduce him. These Efforts
will be taken by intelligent voters for what they
are worth.
We make no fight against Mr.. Hand, for We bsl
lieve that Mr. Pettigrew is entitled to second term
at the hands of the party in Dakota, and shat be
will get It, He is the first delegate from Dakota
who was not Federal Office holder, faat that
may be as significant this year as 1t WAS tive yssrs
ago. 3.IEf

little danger of putting up too much hay.
There is a great deal more danger of put
ting up too little than too much.

A HillY Item.

This item does not concern our rolling
and undulating bluffs, but an individual
named L. 7. Hill, proprietor of our grist
mill, who is now engaged painting his
mill a bright red, trimmed with white.
Mr. Hill burns on an average carload
of soft nut coal of the Oskaloosa brand
per week.
Mrs. Hill returned home from her visit
to Ionia, Neb. She had very pleasant
time among her old neighbors.
Mr.. Palmer, of Illinois, is the guest of
Mr.. Hill, who likes it 50 well that the
prospects are good of his investing and
becoming one Of u.s.
Mr.. Hill is paying considerable atten.
ton to his swarms of bees He under
stands the nature of the busy bee and is
meeting with good success.

Our Say So.

As stated last week the ADVOCATE has
changed hands and is now the property of
the proprietor who intends, by strict at
tention to business, to place the paper in
the front ranks Of Dakota's newspapers
and make it the live representative of a
live town like Canton.
The proprietor can assure its readers at
this writing that in politics the paper will
be Republican, of the true type, but will
not wink at any fraud or corruption in
the party. This it will expose at all times,
wherever found. Also that its articles
will not be of the wishy-washy sort, but
be of the pure and outspoken stripe 1t
will carefully weigh all questions of a pub
lie character, and will be found to uphold
that which its publisher, in his opinion,
deems Just, proper and upright.
Canton has destiny before it of a
bright and solid certainty, and we propose
to take advantage of it by giving the town
all the advertising it can stand. Men of
means must be brought here and induced
to settle and few of the public institu-
tions ought to be secured. The county
is comparatively new and needs settlers
on its broad and expansive pcairies This
also will receive attention.
The paper will give the cold shoulder to
all rinps of anv sort and will receive no
encouragement at our hands. This we
believe will be appreciated byall good citi-
zens. 1t seeks no quarrel with anyone but
will stand on its own bottom. The proprietor
will run the paper as best suits himself,
trying hard to make each issue credit to
the town. We reserve the right to run
our paper to our own liking, the same as
is accorded any private individual. This
is no more than right.
In giving brief outline of our inten-
tions in the future, it might be we'll to
say that political soreheads need not APP
ply, and that the paper will always sup
port good and efficient men for Office
The encouragement We have met from
SO many of our substantial aad wide awake
business men since our residence here has
caused us to make this change and has
drawn out this article. We can only add
that we are here to stay and shall try to
do our whole duty.

should not be so soon forgotten by our

against him than now appears.
