planned, the populist who supports the
combines with democracy which have
bsen alluded to, is really putting a block
In the way OF the very reforms which he
is seeking to accomplish-for the only
way in which-they can be accomplished
is through q national party, and q nation
al populist party is impossible so long as
a southern democracy can dictate politics
TO the democracy OF the entire nation.
But il the:republican party shall refuse
AS l do not think it will-after it's at.
tention has been SO emphatlcally called
to the matter-to inaugurate and carry
out reform which confront not only this
nation but the entire world, then q juno
ture may come when it will be possible
to organize a national populist party.
But the great question pressing upon
the state of South Dakota at this time
and in this campaign is, shall she send
another United States senator to Wash
ington under obligations to democratic
votes, to make democratic alliances
under southern democratic domination?
II is an open secret that In many legisla-
tive districts there are combinations
looking to this result, and the people
populistic republicans as we'll as straight
republicans-should rise in their might
and thwart the scheme.
"Gen. Campbell then introduced the
most conclusive evidence to show the
hostility Of southern policies to northern
industry. Tariff wars have all been
fought upon this issue. There Is not a
single exception. Every low tariff and
its accompanying national adversely has
been brought about by southern demo-
cratic domination. Ii we send a second
Kyle to the senate, what help can he get
from southern democrats in support Of
populist principles? Who threw stones
and rotten eggs at Gen. Weaver and
Mrs. Lease? Who beat down Alabama
~populists at the polls? What has the
democratic organ In this city had to say
1't0h0 bGC ACu4Ay LohAuLnCAU0 OOGbAA AACC
Of populism? There is infinitely greater
hope for Eopulist reforms in the republi-
can party than in the democratic party
and there are only two national parties
and a be only two at this i%uncture.
1.-THE speaker made a most effective
presentation of the reasons for support
ing Senator Pettigrew for reelection.
He declared that he and Mr.. Pettigrew
had never trained together, and that
therefore there was NO past, present nor
future obligation between them; but he
had said in 1890 that OF the two senators
chosen, Mr.. Pettigrew wa by all odds
the ADLER. One thing about him was his
directness of purpose and action-which
leads HIM to push right straight for any
point he desires to make-and his ability
in sizing up men and measures. These
characteristics led him to make what I
believe to have been the strongest speech
delivered in the senate upon the tariff
and silver questions. And you people OF
Sioux Falls and Minnehaha county
ought to appreciate that it is 20 small
thing to have a Unired States senator as
a resident. They can't be made in a day
and lightning rarely strikes twice in a
place. Senator Pettigrew has been and
will be made a bigger and broader and
better man by your confidence and sup
port, and by the experience and growth
which he has had during his first term.
Believing the sole question in this cam
publican state ticket is absolutely GER
tain-believing the sole question to be
as to whether South Dakota will elect a
United States senator who will make al
liances with northern interests, instead
of alliances that will make warfare
thereon, how could / longer ally myself
with such populism as is extant in this
state today? There are no national
parties but the republican and democrat
ic, and the latter is under control Of
those who are enemies OF the welfare OF
Sioux Falls and Yankton and of every
city in the state, and Of every interest in
the state, and Of every interest through
out the whole great north. / see no
course for me in this campaign, Lor for
any other populist or republican ante
cedents, except to cast my lot again with
the grand old republican party.
