Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1898-11-04
MR.. AMEs, STAND UP.

or not there is any money in it for him.
He is fighting and abusing John
Burke because John Burke, as county
treasurer, (who is not now candidate)
gave the delinquent tax list to repub-
lican newspaper instead of to Ames'
paper. Money counts.
He is fighting and abusing DIR. Stew.
art (who is not candidate for any
thing) since DIR. Stewart is no longer
in position to financially help Ames
along-and because Ames has got
enough printing material together SO
that he no longer needs to borrow
Charley Stewards Cascade Geyser out
at. Money counts.
He is fighting John Stanley (who is
not a candidate for anything) because
political success came to Stanley (as it
was sure to come to some republican,
in the election of Mckinley, and John
Stanley got the postofiice-and Ames
lost the salary. Money makes the
trouble.
He is fighting Will Stanley because
he is Johns brother, and Ames thinks
had something to do with the post
Office change, which is entirely untrue
in every respect; and is further fight
ing Will Stanley and trying to elect
his printer, Jason March, as auditor,
because Ames thinks the auditor has
few dollars worth of county printing
to give out-although Auditor Stanley
gives the printing to the lowest bidder.
It's money again.
People have not forgotten so soon
how furiously Ames started to roast
and would grow black in the face in
his rage against F. 4. Evans, Harry
Clark, and finally against the reorgan-
lied company now in charge of the
Dakota Hot Springs Co., business. He
made an awful howl because Harry
Clark continued in charge. He has
lately been getting a little printing
from them. Perfectly proper on their
part. You don't hear the Herald spit
fire against any of them now. Does
money count?
1 People have not forgotted how the
Herald clustered up just before last
springs city election and was going to
show somebody thing or two, and
then how quickly editor Ames dropped
his pen after he was paid for "space'
by the ones that he admitted he was
opposed to. Did money count?
People have not forgotten how Ames
started in foolish and bowling kick
because the Peoples telephone CON-
pany charged s3 for phones, and how
he was going to compel the ordinance
to be complied with. That's long
and wise head that Chris Jensen has.
Ames suddenly was given some print
ing for the telephone people and a
telephone was put in his office (the
rate still unchanged). Surprisingly
sudden the Herald was silent about
that ordinance breaking monopoly
that Editor Ames was going to bring
to time, and the price is still 50 a
phone per month. They say money
counts!
For long time every issue of the
Herald contained u fearful howl about
the filthy water t'swill'') and still
worse service that the Water, Light &
Power company was giving the peo.
pie and the city. Ames got some
printing. No more walls about sswill''
and tho awful service of the Water,
Light Il Power Coz pany. Money
rightly expended can be made to count
can't it?
Only last year Ames opposed Mr..
Mower for an official "station of re-
sponsibility," though as IL s.citizen'' ho
was regarded all right. Mr.. Mower is
now Ames candidate for county treas
urer. Mr.. Mower as such candidate is
said (by democrat) to have been as
sessed $40 for this campaign to pay
printing expenses. etc. A,ncs is sup
porting him hard for position of re-
sponsibility," although Mr.. Mower
hasn't changed. why?
Only few weeks ago Ames was 60
ing to support a candidate for sheriff
first, last and all the time," and was
bitter against Charley Eastman Now
he is doing all he can for him. "Why"?
And SO the story might be continued.
But it is not necessary. These are a
few scraps of history that are perfect
ly familiar to Hot Springs people.
Think of it! A champion of reform!
Reform! how many crimes are COM
mitted in thy name?
Why all these sudden changes Of
mind and heart and mouth and effort?
Who has changed and why?
Isn't It plain enough Why tho Times.
Herald is bitter against some people
and strongly favoring certain ones
