of the opinion still. Namely that had a
perfect right to support Pierre the proper
place for the capital and that did sup
port and vote for Pierre, the Sioux Val
ley News to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
The News seems to be trying to make
out that it Is disreputable for any one to
vote for Pierre after he has announced
himself in favor of Huron and it then
naturally must follow that all the men
that voted for Pierre are disreputable and
as only honest men could vote for Huron
all others must. be dishonest that is &C.
cording to the News sofstry.
Another pecularity is that Of all the
members of the board of directors of The
LEADER company, only Isackson and
Hoclkenstad (two republicans appear to
have made efforts to carry out the con-
tract in good faith, so quotes the News.
Very peculiar amt it. After what the
News editor has said about the board of
directors Of The LEADER company it was
necessary to oassuage the wrath Of the re-
publican members, and dose of flatterv
was promptly administered. This would
also repay them for the information so
easily pumped from the victims.
In conclusion would say that hope
that after the News editor has embraced
the opportunity of saying all he can
against The LEADER company, in order
if possible to cause contention, dissatisfac-
tion and strife among the stockholders
with view Of breaking the company up,
that he viii be kind enough to inform
the public in what way it was wrong for
The LEADER to support Pierre and if
there was any poor needy farmers injured
by The LEADER doing as N G. Nash
done except all that was offered for CAPT.
tai support, and while you are about it
you may as well state how much if any
the capital commission received for locat-
ing the capital at Bismarck, I mean pro-
persy Of. .eveg.Psind, E even down to rail
road passes and city property. You may
bSeeding Pierre, who # an correctly III:
formed does not at this time require any
sympathy, unless you haye a bid for ad-
verifying. 1t would probably be as well
if you would as a matter of news state
your political faith, times are changing
very rapiply and there is no knowing
what may occur in 90.
am very glad to make a note Of the
fact that you are in favor of government
al control Of transportation corporations
Would much like the news editor to give
US his views on that plank of the indie
pendent platform that demands money
direct from the government without in
| tervention of banks of issue and sucl
| quantities as may be necessary to pro
| perly transact the business of the coun
try.
Now N. c., what is now troubling yo,
is that you ale much disappointed in tn
turn affairs of theLEADER COMPANY hav
assumed You have repeatedly state'
ed that the Farmers Publishing compan
would soon find that they could not ru
a newspaper and that it would smash uI
You are disappointed because you fin
that if the stockholders pay there assess
ments the LEADER printing plant will b
free of any obligation Of any nature an
will be in shape to compete with tn
News and will hold the fort for an indt
finate time. Hence your are angril
vexed, worried and in no pleasant frame
of mind and are venting your anger on tn
board of directors whom you deem to /
the cause of all your trouble, at the san
time you may hope to cause dissatisfa'
ton and distrust which you hope will r.
suit in your favor.
