The Matter Of Votes:

The total vote of South Dakota in
1888 was G9,G54. The vote of the thir-
teen counties whose delegates had to
pass through Mitchell to reach Huron
for the state convention was, for the
same year, 2c,531, or fraction over 30
per cent. of the total vote. Should Is
per cent. OF this vote, with IS per cent.
of the $3.50 votes of Miner, Sanborn
and Jerauld, come to Mitchell she
would get the capital. That three
fourths of the vote of a territory natur-
ally tributary to this city is too much
to expect would not seem probable.
That it is more than Mitchell will re-
ceive is still less probable, for the
knowledge of Mitchell's superior rail
road connections, experimentally &C.
quired by so many delegates from the
counties in question, will surely issue
in the securing of even a larger pro-
portion of the vote.

On the Winning Side.

EDITOR GLOBE, Harrison, S. d.
am glad to see that you are on The win
ming side for the capital of our new
state of South Dakota" I, with a
majority of others in this place, could
not see it in any other light only that
Pierre should be the selection, but
within the last ten days at least twelve
or fifteen men that I am acquainted
with, including myself, have come to
the conclusion that Mitchell, consider
ing all things, both for the present and
future, is certainly the place, and will
be IN time our future capital, | can
look into the future say eighteen
months and can see a large and enter
prising class OF farmers and business
men pushing across the river at Cham
berlain, building up towns, rushing in
goods, machiaery and everything that
goes to make a desirable country to
live in, and on the other hand can
see from four to eight trains every
tWenty-four hours passing and repass-
ing and bringing us cheaper fuel and
stock, and all of the wonderful produc-
tlons of that wonderful land beyond
the reservation. But I'll stop for fear
you'll think | am cranky, but l have
always had the strongest faith in South
Dakota's future. S. II. THOMAS.

Thinks 1t a snide.

The following letter from reput-
able business man of Kimball explains
itself:
ED. REPUBLICANS: Seeing by the
papers that the Woonsocket Capital
Investment Company had decided on
going to Pierre, and knowing from ex-
perience that they have not done as they
agreed to do, thought u little item
from Kimball might help get a few
votes for Mitcnell:
In their sale of the stock they were
to send each stakeholder blank vote
before the first of September, but not
one half of the stockholders got the
blank votes. Then they were to notify
the stockholders five days before pub
fishing where they had decided to To-
cate, and not one-fourth got the notice.
And 1 can safely say there are at least
100 shares in Kimball that did not
vote, that would not vote for Pierre.
and furthermore, think the Woon.
socket Capital Investment Company Is
snide, and don't think they can turn
over very many votes to Pierre on
election day. SrocK1IoLpER.

the capital. There are two important
railway systems traverslng South Da.
kota from east to west. The capital
will be located on one of these two
systems or road, and the road which
gets the capital will be the main line
of travel through the state. 1t will
have three trains while the other has
one. This is not speculation but logic.
Now what does this mean? 1t means
that the farms along the line of road
upon which the capital is located will
be worth two or three times as much
as those upon the other, that they will
be settled up and cultivated. It means
that the towns along this road will do
a bigger and better business IN conse-
quence, because for the business they
must depend upon the settlement and
development of the country.

A Metlotlist's Views,

One Of the most widely circulated
denomlnational papers in South Da.
kota is the Northwestern Christian
Advocate of Chicago. In its issue OF
September 4th is an excellent article
from Rev. G. III. Stocking, B. D., on
Dakota university, in which some
strong Mitchell capital arguments are
presented. We print the concluding
sections of the article:
One of the most important institu.
tlons OF the church in South Dakota,
and most vital therefore to the inter,
ests OF the state, and which God in his
good providence has put upon stronger
foundations and into more beautiful
proportions. than before it went down
IN the dreadful contlagration is the Da-
kota university, located at Mitchell.

and np-building in the future years. is
to forecast and plan, not only for the
growth and up-building of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, and other Chris
tlan churches, but is TO forecast and
plan for the best interests of society.
the commonwealth, ana the nation at
large. During these weeks of interest
ing and exciting discussion, the ques-
tion is being asked in cottage and on
street corner, in hall and through Jour
nal-and no one can ask it with too
great interest or where shall
the capital OF South Dakota be To-
cated?" That is to be answered in
October next. From the standpoint
OF a Methodist preacher, though in
another conference and an adjoining
state. scarcely can anything be CON
cesved as being more vitally related to
the future growth and largest success
OF the Dakota university than the
manner in which that question shall
be answered. While other worthy
considerations and well-grounded ar
guments are being set before the peo-
pie of the state, to secure the location
of its capital at Mitchell; such as cen
ter of population, accessibility from
railroad lines and connections (being
on the great east ana west route from
Chicago to the Black Hills and Sioux
reserYation) health, drainage, artesian
water in abundance, etc., most Ger
tainly every Methodist minister. and
every Methodist layman, yea, and every
patriot, should have in mind the fact
that at Mitchell our Dakota university
is located and now: grandly rebuilt.
With the capital located there by pop
ular vote. an impetus would be given
to its growth, and a breadth and degree
OF influence and power made possible
IN the future years of which it is now
quite impossible to conceiye. Ger
talnly the brethren of the conference,
the presiding elders in their districts,
and the pastors in their charges. will
see to it that the people are thoroughly
reminded of all these interests, and
we'll informed on all these lines Of con-
sideration.

stockholders. The agent--on leaving
Bridgewater left book containing
blank stock with j. q. Terrill, proprie-
tor of the principal hotel, telling him
to be free i'll making out stock, whether
he could get money for it or not, as
the larger the number of stockholders
the larger the bonus the company
would get from competing towns for
their influence. Mr.. Terrill, DIR. Dix
says, stands ready to make affidavit to
this. Still the evidence accumuIates
showing the free and easy business
methods OF the wholly unique capital
investment company.
j. M. Prime has spent three days in
Lincoln county the past week. lie
reports remarkable change in capi-
tai sentiment. Former friends Of
Sioux Falls are daily turning to
Mitchell. Cantcnis Swinging into line"
and Lennox is seemingly solid. The
people want Mitchell badges and
Mitchell literature and Mitchell mis-
sionaries to win those who are almost
persuaded. Mr.. Prime is aglow with
enthusiasm and counts confidently on
a vote from Lincoln with four figures.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1889-09-13
The Capital Situation.

Mitchells representatives have re-
turned from the capital conference at
Aberdeen more enthusiastic and earn
est than ever in her behalf.
They have met the live rustlers from
the other capital candidate towns,
have compared notes with them, have
gained much valuable information as
to their respective strength. and come
home more firmly convinced than be-
fore, If possible, that Mitchell has
points of advantage possessed by none
of her rivals.
The capital campaign will therefore
be pushed from this on with daily in
creasing vigor and effectiveness, and
Mitchell will still further open the
eyes of her competitors, some of whom,
until this recent conference, were
laboring under the delusion that she
did not mean business.
Mitchell has been actively in the
field a shorter time than any of the
other towns, but the headway her
cause has gained in the localities from
Which her votes are to come surprises
even her most sanguine advocates.
Mitchell's solid resources have but
just been touched upon, and during
the next twenty-five days will respond
to any drafts that may be made upon
them.
Mitchell has the best organized cam
paign in the field, as has been demon
strated by the results thus far, and will
be more fully developed with every
successive move she makes. Her bit
terest rivals have had their attention
called to this fact within the past
forty-eight hours.
Mitchell has an executive committee
of unequalled energy, discretion and
endurance, every member of which fits
his particular place to dot, and works
with every other member like the sew
eral parts of magnificent piece of
machinery.
Mitchell is behind her capital COM
mlCtee TO man, to dollar, to every
ounce of influence and encouragement
and vim that a progressive community
can boast of.
Mitchell has some of the ablest news
papers and the most influential men
throughout South Dakota enlisted in
her behalf solely on the merits of the
case which she is now presenting.
Mitchell has the elements within
her and the environments about her
that will land her a sure winner on
October l.
And don't you forget it for mo-
ment!

Jos. Harker: The more I study the
situation the more confident am that
Mitchell's chances for the capital are
the best of any city in the race.
Alexandria Herald: S. II. Agnew
did not invest in real estate on his re-
cent trip to Pierre, though he had
plenty of chances. He says ride into
the country took him past but one
barn, the land for six miles around
being laid out in town lots. Alas, poor
Pierre, if it is laid out now what will
it beif Mitchell gets the capital? Mr..
Agnew says he was disappointed in
the place, and is now a Mitchell for
capital man.
Douglas Tribune: What is the most
important line OF railroad in South
Dakota?
Is it not the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul?
What is the most important town on
its line in South Dakota?
Mitchell by long odds.
Mitchell is in the heart of the best
agricultural district of south Dakota.
1t is pushing go-ahead town and
deserves support if for no other reason
than because it is honest in its fight
and makes no false pretenses.
1t is railroad center and is accessi-
bic from all points of South Dakota,
1t has large public buildings suitable
for the temporary headquarters of the
states law makers.
Its hotel facilities are unsurpassed
by any town in South Dakota.
AS the crow flies it is only forty
miles from the southern line of Doug
las county.
The last reason given above applies
with equal force to Charles Mix
county. While there may be a few peo-
pie along the Missouri river bottom in
Charles Mix county who favor a Mis-
souri, river point, those on the upland,
and especially those in the eastern
portion Of the county will vote for the
point nearest to them, and that point
is Mitchell.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1889-09-13
Mitchell for the Capital Of South
Dakota,

A few reason why everyone should
vote for Mitchell
Because it is nearest to the center of
population.
Because it has one of the finest loca-
tions in the state for capital.
Because it has far the best railroad
facilities of any town in the state.
Because it has two public halls par
tlcularly we'll fitted for legislative pur-
poses.
Because its educational advantages
are in keeping with the demands of
the future capital city.
Because it is on the main trunk lines
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul and Chicago and Northwestern
railroads, the leading roads of the
northwest.
Because In six months from the date
OF the location it will have direct rail
communication with the Black Hills.
This is official.
Because 1t is below the snow line
and its railroads are therefore compar,
atively free from blockades during the
severest weather.
Because it is in the center of the
corn belt" and will therefore always
remain the center of the wealthiest
and most thickly settled portion of the
state.
Because it has demonstrated during
two territorial fairs and on numerous
other occasions of a general nature
that it can accommodate visitors with
out difficulty.
Because it is the easiest of access
from all parts of the state. There are
twice as many towns from which a
man may ride to Mitchell without
changing cars as to any other city.
Because the location of the city is
high and dry. 1t has the best natural
drainage of any city within the boun-
daries of the new seate. Its healthful-
ness is therefore pre-eminently first.

derstood from now on, FIRST, last and
all the time, that the Graphic's first
choice for the capital would naturally
be Chamberlain, but with Chas Mix
on the south working for Pierre, the
same state of things existing in Jerauld
and Buffalo counties on the north and
with Aurora on the east going for

ell for CAPITAL.

One of the most significant facts in
connection with Mitchells capital can
didacy is the hearty support which
the current issue of the Woonsocket
News gives it. The editor of the
News is clear headed man who gen.
orally talks as he feels, regardless of 9TH
er considerations, and the arguments he
advances are unanswerable. The fact
is, with such acknowledged leaders in
public opinion as the News, Alexandria
Herald, Kimball Graphic, Harrison
Globe and Salem Pioneer Register in
this Immediate vicinity supporting
Mitchell it must be conceded that her
claims are of the strongest nature.
