should elect tile President, that laws Of
Congress should be supreme and that
the President should have the power to
coerce States which seemed to be too
democratic for him; and he uDmaske e,l
his aristocracy by submitting a plan to
that convention which would entail all
the evils of monarchy with scarcely
one of its redeeming features, and which
would leave States as helpless as par>
alytic.
Briefly, the main features of his plan
were as follows, and | submit it to every
one who will honor me with moment, $
reflection, if il was any wonder that
Jefferson opposed everything which
could he construed to make were figure
heads of the States in the national COM
pact, if it was any wonder he called
Hamilton a "mOnarchical federalist," :"
and that it took WashingtOn's appeal to
the love his country bore him, with all
the OratOry of Madison, King Wilson
and Morris, to allay the fears that il
vested the general government with
undue, undemocratic and dangerous
powers? Mark it well, THAT repre-
sentatives should be elected by the
people" Great as was this man, this
was the only vestige of democracy i'm
the whole plan. "The Senate To be
chosen for life by electors, the President
to be chosen for life 10y electors" and,
as if that wasn't enough to alarm the
young republic, il further provided that
the governors of each State should be
appointed by the federal government
and have absolute, not limited, veto on
all the acts of their State legislatures.
This is Hamiltonian, loose>cOnstruction,
centralizing, aristocratic, nationalizing,
Republican doctrine in its inceptive,
pristine purity, which would leave
helpless State as impotent rs the sacri-
fetal babe thrown in the turbid Ganges.
Is 1t a wonder that Jefferson opposed
Constitution which yet bears marks of
that great ironarchist? n
Whose better manhood does not rise
up in rebellion against that Hamilton
ian spirit which denies us the right to
vote directly tor President? For
nearly century proud Americans have
had to he content with the unrepublic,
humiliating privilege of voting, never
for President, but for relic of aristoc-
racy, Electors; and at every recurring
election We are thus insulted by an in
situation that we, the Ignorant many"
the common herd" the "untaught
Masses" the vulgar majority" as
these fine aristOcrats mildly put it, are
incapable Of voting for the grand dias-
cutus, and must he driven back to let
select few discharge this paramount
duty. This is a fine comment on Ameri.
can freedom; but, thanks to the democ-
racy of our country, it has been render
ed practically imperative long ago.
A blessing upon the name of Jefferson,
lot MS opposing 10 The very knife every
article of a constitution which could
possibly he warped by any sort of
construction into such meaning. 1t was
only such features he opposed, and sub
sequent events have proved that his
wisdom and foresight were only too
well grounded. The fact, that on the
adoption of the Constitution he at once
became strict constructionist, for ever
settles the patriotism of his motives.

A. Word With A Voter.

1t is a fundamental principle Of our
Declaration Of Independence, that any
community has a right to prevent a
public nuisance. The government has
appointed you law-maker on the Lii
quor Question.
1t is left for the voter to decide on
Nov. Sd whether Dakota shall forever
throw off the shackles of the tyrant
Alcohol, and the new State enter the
Union with her garments tnstained by
the blood Of the victims Of rum. 1t is
yours to rescue now your fellow-men
from death. -: ;.
The responsibility is SO grave, that
you may well, before voting, take time
to consider the facts in the case.
Those who wish to, sell Intoxicating
drinks, and those who wish to use
them, favor license. The air Of tres
pectability" about a licensed saloon,
draws in men with money, so druhkard-
making is an easy and paying business.
Each taxpayer is sharer in the profits
Of tie rum-seller and IN his guilt for
the crime. and misery and ruin wrought
by his traffic. The.d dealer can afford to
pay license, tee, but can yog afford to
take a share in his blood money!.
When dram.sellipg is punished as
crime, dram-d drinking becomes disrepu-
table. s:,:t,, r.s- ! .,,',
Respectable men will not follow the
rum-seller to~the den. where he mist
hide from the officers of'justce. Even
the victims Of appetite drink with a
sense of shame: ~.
For these reasons, the men who are
honestly trying to conquer their own
appetite for drink; the mothers, wives,
and children, ask you to vote for Pro-
hibition. .a
We ask you, in the name of thoseyoul
love to he true to the: convictions OF
your American manhood.
We ask you in behalf Of those who
inherit a love for strong drink, by your
vote to remove the temptation from
them. .,o
We ask you, in behalf OF those who
came to Dakota as a refuge from Jhe
tempting cup, give them your protec'
ton. Would you be on the side OF tenn
perance, humanity and God? Ihen III
the fear of God cast your vote for FRO
1IIBrTIoN and the protection OF DANo'
Ia HOMES.

70 the Voters of Jerauld County.

Knowing that the people is the esource
from which all power appertaining to
the conventional customs and affairs of
men is derived, and also knowing that
for the purpose OF. common protection
to all, and for the purpose of keeping
in existence those principles and Gus
toms that years Of usage have not only
demonstrated to be good, but very es-
sential to ;mankind, the great science of
jurisprudence was created BY the peo-
pie as a monument encompassing the
whole and as q source to which all, ir-
respective Of sectional lines, race, color,
or party affiliations can apply to for re-
lief and justice in cases Of the perpe-
tration of fraud or injustice coming
from any Source. I believe that judi
cial tribunals Should be presided over
by men that come from no one sect or
party but from the people as whole
and that in the selection of officers for
judicial positions partisan politics
should not control for the reason that
in as much as all men, irrespective Of
sect or party, go to our judicial tribu-
nails for their rights and justice, all
men should cooperate together in Sc
lecting officers to preside over and mete
out to all alike the remedies provided
by this one prc-eminent and paramount
custom. Therefore, in view Of what 1
believe to be theright principles for the
people to adopt in the selection Of Off
GERS to fill judicial positions I would
recommend as proper person for the
position of County Judge under the
Constitution for the State of Dakota,
