The democratic senatorial convention
will meet in Sturgis next Monday after
noon at o'clock to make the nomination
of state senator. .s
The republican ticket is continually
gaining strength. The ADVERTISER will
probably be able to speak personally of
the several candidates next week. -.
Did it ever occur to the taxpayers of
this county that the first sweeping re-
duction that was ever made in the assess
ment of the Homestake mining proper
ties was under democratic administra-
ton? Did that official fill the term of
his Office? Was this gentleman ever
identified with the independent move
ment? Have the facts passed from the
memory of man? And have these good
deeds been "buried'' with the democratic
principles by this antiquated apostate?
II the independents are working with
the knights of Labor, how do they ex-
pect to help the cause of either organic
alton by supporting man like w. e.
Jones for office? Is it not fact that he
has taken numerous contracts for laying
sidewalks in the city of Sturgis at such
ruinously low figure that he has been
compelled to lay the walk himself with
lumber from his own mill, thereby pre-
venting many an honest, hard working
and competant mechanic from receiving
living wages for the labor? Jones repre-
sents nothing whatever in the interests
of the laborer and farmer.
Hon. G. c. Moody returned Saturday
morning from Washington, -and met
with warm reception by his host of per-
sonal friends. The senator has given
every measure, both public and private,
that effected the people of South Dakota
his personal and special attention, and
as consequence is pretty we'll worked
down. He has made fine record in the
senate, and every honest Black Hitler is
glad to speak of him as citizen of the
western part of the graet state of South
Dakota. The judge will be in Sturgis
tomorrow, where he will meet with that
same friendly and hearty greeting that
has been shown him elsewhere since re-
turning to his home.
The republican nominee for state SEN
ator from this district, Hon. John L.
Potter, is man who is liberal in all his
ideas, broad in his views and progressive
in all matters of public or private nature.
He is man of ability and integrity, and
has been equal to the task IN every emer-
gency when called upon to aid in pub
lie capacity. He has faithfully and
honestly discharged every trust imposed
upon him by the people of Sturgis, gain
ing the confidence and friendship of all
parties who are acquainted with his of
fetal record. His popularity at home
is a nucleus around which strength is
daily growing, and this tidal wave is not
only a compliment to Mr.. Potter, but
evidence of the faith the intelligent
voters of this district have in. the repub-
lican party of South Dakota to protect
their rights in all measures that may
come before the next legislature
