John Wilkes is one of the ablest men
that has ever filled a commissioners
chair in this county. Some of the most
prominent Republican business men in
Chamberlain who are more interested in
a good business board than in partisan
board openly admit this. His work on
the board has been characterized by the
utmost economy consistent with the IN
terests OF the county. One of his first
acts was the introduction OF resolution
against paying any clerk or deputy hire
for any of the comfy officers. (see JAM,
1893 report of the proceedings And twas
Mr.. Wilkes who first objected to letting
any more artesian well contracts where
by the county furnished coal, pipe and
all material. Had Mr.. Wilkes been on
the board earlier Mr.. Morrison's critisism
of the artesian we'll statement, referred
to in another column of the GRAPHIC,
would not have been possible-there
would have been no report to make,
except the one itcE oe total cost, no over
hauling OF papers, bills and vouchers
would have been necessary, Tom, Dick,
and Harry would not have been burning
county coal and contractors would not
have been paid $50 for leaving half Of
the pipe in the we'll. 1t must be remenl-
bered that the acts Of one board is bind
ing upon its successor as applied to con-
tracts. The present board is working
into more systematic and business-like
method of making well contracts as
rapidly as possible consistent with carry
ing on the work at all. No objection
has been offered to Mr.. Wilkes save that
he isn't a Republican and his record is
such that every Democrat and Populist
should not only vote for him but work
for him, especially in view of the fact
that his defeat would mean the
loss Of the county board a gain to the
Republican party in the county that
neither tile Democrats or Populists can
afford at this time.

The Mckinley bill gave the sugar
trust free raw sugar and protective
tariff of one-half cent per pound on re-
fined sugar. The Wilson bill places a
duty of two cents pound on raw sugar
and reduces the tariff on refined sugar
to one-eigth of a cent pound. In the
face Of these facts it is interesting to
hear the Republicans blow about Demo-
cratic subserviency TO the sugar trust
an institution created and fostered by
ReDublicanism to its present gigantic
proportions. II the trust is enabled by
the Wilson bill to flch from the pockets
of the people ten, twenty, or thirty mill
lions dollars annually it is easy to reck-
on that they cleaned up four-yes six
times-that amount under the Mckinley
bill.

This should not be question OF per-
sonal likes and dislikes," said Frederick
R. Condert, a staunch friend and sup
porter of President Gle, Gland, at Hill
rally in New York city few nights ago,
II love no man so much that l would
sacrifice my principles for him; I hate
no man so much that will not help him
when he will help my country and my
cause; the man who falters now forgcts
his flag IN the the hatred of the man
who carries it." Let every Democrat
and Populist keep these ringing words
in mind next Tuesday and when the sun
goes down the 6. 0. p. will be found still
holding the bag.

About Marking 1sa,lots.

The Australia ballot law has been
considerably changed since the last
election and voters should thoroughly
familiarize themselves with the amend
ments before entering the booths to
mark their ballots. Under the original
law all of the candidates for a certain
office were grouped under one head and
the voter placed an to the left of the
name of each candidate voted for. This
required going through the entire list of
names on the ballot. The law as amend
ed allows each party ticket to be placed
by itself on the ballot.
Under the new law the voter can vote
straight ticket by simply putting an X
III the circle at the top Of the ticket lie
desires to vote. II he desires to vote for
any candidate on any other part of the
ballot. he may erase ths name OF the
candidate for that Office on his party
ticket and place an to the left of the
name of such person for whom he desires
to vote. II case he does not desire to
vote party ticket he need not place all
in the circle at the top, but may put
an to the left of the name of each can
didate for whom he desires to Vote.
The ballot which will lie provided for
the voters of Brule county will be hugh
affair. about the size of the page OF an
ordinary newspaper. 1t will contain
four tickets ts-Democratic. Republican,
Peoples Party and Prohibition. Only
one ticket will be complete one, that
OF the Republicans. The Prohibition
ticket will be for state officers only, there
being no prohibition county ticket. The
Democratic ticket will be complete
throughout except for the offices of sena
tor, representatives, county judge, dis
trict attorney, superintendent schools,
assessor, two constables and two justices
these being oyer on the Peoples Party
county ticket. The Peoples Party ticket
will be complete except for the names
OF the candidates nominated by the
Democratic county Onvention-treasur-
er, auditor, sheriff clerk Of courts, sur
veyor, register of deeds, coroner. two
c0nstables and two justices. This was
done because it was not though advisable
to group the county ticket jointly nomi-
mated by the Democrats and Peoples
Party at PHkwana under one head. Dem
ocrats should mark an in the circle at
The top Of their ticket and then pass
over to the Peoples Party ticket and
place cross to the left of Ames, Hiatt,
Troth, Curtiss, Greene, Potter, Ohlson
Bairey, Smith, Hauska, and SIddonss
The voters in the Fourth district should
not forget to mark cross after the name
Of John Wilkes for commissioner. The
Peoples Party voters, after placing an
in the circle at the top Of their ticket
should not neglect to pass over to the
Democratic ticket and mark an x to the
left of Cliggitt, Ryan, Hinricls, jordan,
McKittrick, Meyer, Tams. Brady, Hoover,
Benda and Herrlein.
Sample ballots will he thoroughly
distributed, and the voter should look
one Of them over carefully before obtain
ing his official ballot from the judges. in
order to familiariZe himself with the
location of the names and grouping Of
the tickets, thus enabling him to mark
his ballot without trouble and as lie
wishes to vote.

Argus-Leader: SO far as the lesisia
ture is concerned the Democrats and
Populists have Il common object. They
both aim at reduced taxation, purity Of
administration, equalizing OF tax bur-
dens, freeing of state institutions from
politics and regulation Of railroads. The
Republicans are squarsly opposed to
these reforms. In triangular contest
the Republicans would win. Under the
circumstances it is legitimate that the
Democrats and Populists should unite to
secure what both desire. There is no
sacrifice Of principle.

The Republicans are great on theories
but woefully lacking in facts to back

sowing it on the other.
