The charge that Mr.. Phillips re-
ceived interest on the state deposits
should not be lodged by Mr.. Phillips
or the republican party. lie knows
whether he has received any interest
on the state funds or not, and ii he
has not he can surely prove it. Ii he
can prove it he should promptly chal-
lenge the production OF the proof by
those making the charge. If he Is
guilty he should promptly resign or
withdraw from the ticket so that the
state committee can substitute some
one in his place as the pdrty's candi-
date for governor. Attempted dust
throwing will not serve any good pur-
pose. Mr., Phillips owes it to the par
ty, and should promptly deny the
charge and challenge its proof as we
have but little doubt he is able to do.
Deny the accusation, Kirk, and chal-
lenge proof Of the charge, or the re-
publicans down this way who will vote

Bro. Nash knows that these charges
were made by republicans before the
state convention assembled. He de-
nounced Phillips at that time. He
knows that these charges have been
before the public every day during the
past three months. He knows that
Phillips has not denied the charge,
but has on every occasion when he
has spoken, evaded the question by
stating that he has not been loaning
state money. Had he not been guilty
is it fair to presume that he would not
have long before this openly denied
the charge and brought proof of the
denial? Bro. Nash, We sincerely be-
lieve that your prayer to Phillips is
for naught. He has had plenty of
time to deny and his evasion of the
charge and attempt to pull the wool
over voters eyes in the manner he
has done, stands as evidence against
him. The proof against him is abso-
lutte and he cannot truthfully deny it.

4 Better Record.

Yankton Gazette: Two years ago
the republican state convention de.
clared unanimously for the adoption
of the Iowa railroad law. In the leg
islature following every republican
member voted for it. The late repub.
lican convention affirmed this action,
declared for rigid enforcement, and
going farther than any other ever
went, declared for empowering the
Interstate commerce commission to
fix maximum rates. There is the
record. Does any other party have SO
good one?
Yes, the republican party of North
Dakota has better one. 1t did all
this and raised the valuation Of the
railroads in the state for the purpose
of taxation from $500 per mile to
$4,000 per mile. The republican par.
ty Of South Dakota has missed some
splendid opportunities to make a rail.

Deadwood, Oct. 14.-Ex-Governor
Sheldon opened the campaign for the
republicans at the city hall last night
to about 900 people. That sized audi
ence was secured only after the streets
were paraded by bands and trans
parencies. The republicans wish they
had not come. Referring to Phillips
taking interest, Sheldon said he did
not know whether he had done SO or
not, but il he had he and his bonds
men would make it good to the state.
His worst break was in regard to the
railroad assessments. He said, 81
know the railroads were not assessed
high enough, but they were SO power
full in South Dakota that they will
pay no more taxes than they feel like
paying. There Is line beyond which
they will not go, and if board of
equalization should attempt to raise
their taxes beyond that line the roads
would refuse to pay any taxes at ALL"
That is word for word what Sheldon
said. 1t has made more votes against
Phillips than his interest record and
all the silver speeches combined.

whether or not in the absence OF a ju-
dicial decision to the contrary, the
secretary of state and the committee
would be guided by the evident intent
of the law.
1t would seem that all officers, act
ing in their official capacity, should
become conyersant with the laws linn
iting their powers and prescribing
their duties. In matter such as pre-
sented, should officers be in doubt as
to the legal status Of their powers and
duties, it would clearly be to their in
terests and those of the public to OBJ
tain judicial decision thereon. In
the absence Of such doubt or judicial
determination they would probably,

law. Yours very truly,

Peter Peterson was born at Ring
saker, Norway, Oct. %, 1854. He
came to America with his parents in
1860 and located in Vernon county,
Wis. In 1878 he decided to make
South Dakota his home and conse-
quently took up his residence in
Brookings county, settling on farm
in Medary township, where he still re-
sides. Mr.. Peterson was born and
raised on the farm and received his
education in the common schools. He
is man Of very steady and indus
trious habits. In 1894 he received the
nomination on the peoples party
ticket for the lower house of the
South Dakota legislature and enjoys
the distinction OF being the only man
elected upon that ticket in that cam.
paign. He was re-nominated and re-
elected in the fall of 1896. This fall
he has again become the nominee of
the peoples party for the same posi-
tion, being nominated by acclama-
tion. Although not a candidate in
any sense Of the word, he has decided
that coming as it did, with such
unanimity, he could do nothing but
accept and he is again before the peo-
pie. His legislative experience will
prove OF value to him and his constit-
uency at the coming session, for, that
he will be elected, is a foregone con-
clusion.

A SPLENDID TICKET.
a Glimpse Mt Some of the Peoples Party
Candidates.

a Glimpse at Some of the Peoples Party
Candidates.
John c. Jenkins. the candidate for
states attorney upon the peoples par
ty ticket, needs no introduction at
the hands of the REGISTER, as his ac-
quaintance and popularity extends to
the furthest bounds of the county. A
brief biography, however, will not be
out Of place at this time.
He was born in Chumleigh, county
of Devon, England, in 1864. Came to
America and settled in Canada in the
spring of 1880. In the fall of 80 he
moved to Lafayette county, Wis,
where he resided and attended the
public schools at Darlington and
graduated from the high school at
Mineral Point in 1887. He taught
school during the winter and then en-
tered the Northwestern University
at Evanston, H. In the winter Of
1888 he accepted the positionof princi-
pal of the schools at Kingston, MINI.
Becoming imbued with the spirit Of
the the times and enjoying western
ways and western vim, he decided to
come to South Dakota, which he did
in June, 1889. He at once entered
the South Dakota Agricultural col
lege and graduated in 80 from that
institution. He then decided to enter
the law business and became a mem
Der Of the law firm Of Hall & jenkins.
Jan. /, 1894, this firm dissolved and
Mr.. Jenkins continued business on his
own behalf. He was elected states
attorney in the fall Of 1896 by a ma
jOrity of IA, which is an indication
Of the esteem in which he is held by
the people OF this city and county. In
the spring of 1897 he took as a partner
in business Chas. Farrell, a young
law student, which partnership has
since been dissolved owing to the
nomination OF Mr. Jenkins for states
attorney upon the peoples ticket, and
Mr.. Farrell upon the republican tick
ct for county Judge. AS the republi-
cans have not, as yet, nominated a
man for attorney, Mr.. jenkins will
undoubtedly poll the largest vote for
that position ever enjoyed by candi-
date in the history of the county.

Wilmington, n. c., Nov. 4.-The quiet

to Senatorial candidacy of Il. +. Keith.
and to the tone of the address which, it
is thought, was calcula ted to inflau:c

ton in which he announces positively
that he is not candidate for the Sen
ate and will not serve it elected. Ex-

SIM MONS DID NOT SAY IT
AFFlDaWTS FROM GENTLEMEN WHO
HEARD HIM AT WlLKESBo20.
A Shameless Attempt to Misrepresent the Posi-
ton of the Democratic Parsy Through
its State Chairman. Gets
a Quietus.

Some weeks ago Chairman Simmons
discovered that Republicans were circu-
lating a secret circular, charging that,
in the speech made by him in Wilkes
boro on the 18th of August, he had
said, if the Democrats carried the Legis-
,lature they would pass an election law
similar to that in Mississippi and South
Carolina. and disfranchise the negroes.
Immediately, Chairman Simmons, in an
interview, denounced the statements in
this circular as absolutely false. and
said that the four or five hundred people
who heard him make that speech. with
the exception of possibly few Repubi-
cans who were sent there to misrepre
sent him and report him as saying what
he did not say, would corroborate his
statement. On day before yesterday,
Chairman Simmons was shown another
Republican circular, repeating the charge
made in the first secret circular. and
containing an affidavit from Sheriff Call
and one Davis, both Republicans, claim
ing that they were present, heard his
speech. and that he did say that if the
Democrats got the Legislature they
would pass laws similar to those of
South Carolina and Mississippi and dis
franchise the negro. Immediately upon
seeing this circular, Mr.. Simmons wired
to parties in Winston and Wilkes
boro. who heard his speech, and asked
them to state what he said with refer
ence to this matter. Here is the reply
from Winston:
winston. \. c., Nov. 3, 1893.
Hon. +. Nj. Simmons. Raleigh, n. c.:
We were present and heard every
word of your speech at Wilkesboro.
The statement that you said in your
speech that if the Democrats got the
Legislature they would pass a
law similar to that of South
Carolina and Mississippi and dis
franchise negroes, is n lie out of the
whole cloth. No such statement was
made by you, nor anything from which
such an inference could be drawn.
