Yankton Press and Dakotaian: Ex-
Delegate Pettigrew was talked to a
little last night by a Press and Dakota
ian representative. Among other
things he said that he was temptation
proof against ever going to Washing

was a position which necessitated a
vast amount of work with exceeding
ly unsatisfactory results-a position
in which the representative was d
beggar on large scale with nothing
to offer for favors solicited. Mr.. Petit,

from this and endless other evils, anC
he thinks the people Of southern
Dakota should enter heartily into the
deliberations Of the Huron meeting
through carefully selected>gepresenta

at the very foundation of things some
people will persist in the opinion that
an editor can get money or goods any
