NOW IN ILLINOIS
Mr.. Bryan Enters What Is Con-
sidered the Battle Ground Of
the CAMPAIGN.
Quotes From q Speech Of Con-
gresham Cannon On Coin
age in 1873.
What He Advocated Then |!
Just What the Silver Men
Demand Today.

NATION, Ills, Oct. 24.-What is
considered the battle-ground of the cam
paign by that portion of the Democracy
at present aboard the private car
'Idler," has been entered.
Illinois has been looked forward to,
and it has been understood that Mr..
Bryan would put up the best fight he
had about him when the Prairie State
was reached.
The Illinois Democratic politicians
met Mr.. Bryan at Terre Haute and es-
corted him through Illinois.
Danvil]e was the first stop of the
morning, and from a stand near the
courthouse, Mr.. Bryan spoke to an as.
semblage which numbered up in the
thousands. Enthusiasm prevailed at
the meeting, and when Mr.. Bryan
quoted Congressman Joe Cannon in
support of the free silver doctrine, the
crowd gave noisy evidence of its appre-
citation.
Quoted From Cannon.
Mr.. Bryan, i'll his speech, said that
he did not come to talk to those who
believe in free silver, but he wanted to
talk to those who up to this time have
been afraid Of the results Of free COIN
age. After saying that he could prove
the benefits of free silver by Republic
can testimony, he quoted from the
speech made by Congressman Cannon
III the house Of representatives in 1879,
Ill which Mr.. Cannon demanded equal
treatment for gold and siiver%
That is what we are asking for TODAY,
that silver shall have the same treat
ment IN every respect as gold. We are
asking for exactly what Mr.. Cannon
asked for Is years ago, but he tells you
1t would wrong the country to have
now what he wanted then. But let me
read further: "And when you dis
criminate against one Of the precious
metals in favor of the other, by restrict
ing the use Of II as contemplated by
the senate amendment, as to silver. you
that far fetter the use of money in
measuring the values and making the
exchanges of the commodities of the
country and fail just that far to give
the necessary relief and assistance to
the business of the country that wise
legislation should give"
That is right my friends, when you
discriminate against silver and fetter
silver, you are simply trying to put it
into the power of a few men to corner
the money market and hold the rest of
mankind at their mercy. Again, he
says, speaking of this bill as amended !:
1T is a step in the right direction,
but I would rather make the whole
journey now than to camp by the way.
side, with the long part Of the road be.
tween the camping ground and the
journeys end"
We are going to give Mr. Cannon an
opportunity to go the journeys end
and not camp by the wayside.

w, G.. r. u. COLUMN.
The Most Important Issue.

tors all over the United States are talk
ing about the issues OF the campaign,
and night after night the people gather
by hundreds and by thousands to listen
to the eloquent words OF talented speak
ers as they discuss the financial ques-
tions that are now foremost in the
thoughts OF most Americans. No n
will deny that these are serious days,
and that great questions are before the
people, questions OF wider import than
we have been wont to deal with, for
trade is international and gold and silver
is the currency of all civilized nations
the world over.
The importance Of any question should,
however, be determined by the effect it
Is likely to have on the welfare OF the
people, and with this thought in mind,
can any intelligent person deny that the
most important question for the people
OF our W state to decide is not one as
to the relative value OF gold or silver as
currency but the al'-important question
is, Shall the liquor traffic be legalized in
South Dakota?
This question ls as much more import
ant than is any financial question as is
the value of our sons above that OF gold
or silver, and as good morals are Of more
worth han material wealth.
No father desires or expects his own
son to become n drunkard, and few
fathers are even willing their own sons
should frequent saloons, why then
should any father vote for the licensed
saloon?
Vote No.
A prominent daily Of our state has
ately published column after column on
Is editorial page, trying to convince the
intelligent voters of South Dakota that
prohibition produces drunkenness. The
same paper has stated over and over
again that the brewers and s~aloonkeep.
ers do not want the prohibitory clause
10 our state constitution repealed, be-
cause they are now selling more liquor
in this state than they could were the
saloons licensed.
Such statements are not likely to fool
the thinking men who will cast their
ballot November 3, either for or against
the safety Of the boys Of our state and
the happiness of the homes.
Three times in tho past the men OF
our state have shown by their ballots
that they are for home protection in.
stead of saloon protection, and We are
confident that again they will be found
standing for the right, a mighty host
voting for "God and home and native
land"
