Hon. Henry Bradshaw Gives N. G. Nash Another
Going Over. l..
The editor of the Sioux Valley News in
the issue of April 10, seems to have
considerable space as well as time, to de-
vote to airing his supposed knowledge of
the business of the Farmers Publishing
company and has devoted large portion
of times howing what terrible rotten and
corrupt institution this FARMERS LEADER
company is and what a most self-sacri-
ficing and exalted person the worthy
editor Of that farmers friend paper the
Sioux Valley News is. For instance the
News editor says in reference to the Can
ton papers supporting place for the loca-
tion Of the state capital.
We honestly preferred Huron and there
fore supported that city for the capital.
Mark well the words we honestly and
of course as we the editor of the News
dose anything honestly, no other per-
son can honestly do otherwise not even
support Pierre for the capital. Why be-
cause the News editor had 5000 $50 he
says) agreed to support Huron. But was
that all. How about the Huron city
land lots and the several hundred dollars
he was to receive providing Huron be-
came the state capital and in addition
there was several prominent Canton men
interested in Huron property and of
course the News editor must be with the
gang.
The News editor states that Che had
an opportunity to work for Pierre but we
preferred Huron, but omitted to state that
Hurons offer was to him the best and so
he excepted it and because the LEADER
company received larger sum from
Pierre he has been kicking himself ever
since. ~.
In regard to the statements of the News
as to how The LEADER came to support
Pierre and the amount received, will say
that in many particulars they are false,
and I have no time to point out the many
particulars in which they are false; but
saws the Huron management agreed to
give The LEADER the S400 asked. THE
LEADER never set price but were will
ing, as farmers ever have to be to take
what they can get. Not like the News
editor who set his price received it and
has been ever since vexed and worried be.
cause he did not make it larger
larger and is now passing as a self-sacri
ficing saint. Again he says, Huron
promptly withdrew her offer. This is
indeed news to me and would say thai
the Huron representatives did not inform
the board of directors of the LEADEI
company of Huron's withdrawal, neither
do believe that Huron did withdraw
her offer at any time prior to The LEAD
Err agreeing to support Pierre. Agar
the News says Pierre was charged $3O'
more for extra copies making in all ST.,
200 squeezed out of Pierre for which the,

that editor.
Again the News quotes as follows:

be cxerted in her favor, but by that con
tract every director bound himself to us
his individual influence also, in favor c
Pierre. How well these liberty loving
directors fulfilled their obligations,
pretty well known. President Wimpl

he did not work for Pierre. If he did nc

she refused to be bled any more. Over

contract, because as he said, it would il
