Huronite: The makeup of the next
legislature should be the paramount
political question to every Dakotaian.
AS its character is, so must be the veal
or woe of every citizen of the Territory.
At no time in its history has this cOun-
try stood in greater peril from the
grasp of monopolists, political adven-
turers and plunder seekers than it does
to-day. Slick men to carry out slicker
schemes, are becng urged upon the.
voters in allquarters us the proper ones
to guard their interests. The VOLTS
claws are clevcrly concealed under
robe of plausibility, and the deception
will be played for all it is worth in
every district-the stakes being the
control of the legislature. Once in pos
session Of that, the people will be invi-
ted to go to the devil and take thcri
interests with them. In but one way
can the plotters be defeated, and that is
in the choice of men of well known
honor for representatives. Men whose
past and present associations place
| them above suspicion Of jobbrry or
affiliation with schemers. Men who
have the integrity and hardihood to
battle for the right, regardless of per-
sonal friendship or pecuniary interest.
Men of wisdom and discretion, who
will not wreck one interest in their
zeal to advance another Men of warm
natures, pleasing address and hard
workers. rather than fine orators and
willy politicians. In short, the purcst
ana best men in the Territory should be
elected.
