The Vote in South Dakota.

The most remarkable thing about
the woman suffrage amendment in
South Dakota is the smallness OF the
majority against it. Eight years
ago, with no Anti Suffrage Associa
ton in the field, South Dakota de-
feated woman suffrage amendment
by majority Of f23, 61o. This year,
when the "fJew York State Associa-
ton Opposed to the Extension Of
Suffrage to Women" flooded South
Dakota with literature and sent Mrs.
w. W. CrannelI to work and lecture
against the amendment, it came SO
near carrying that for week after
the election it was believed at the
State Capital to have passed. The
latest returns indicate its defeat by a
small majority. but opposition is
evidently lessening in South Dakota
as elsewhere.

The Glriggs Courier. '!'
p. B TRUBsHAW. EDITOR

Two or three weeks ago the
Courier asked the Sentinel to
point out 9 way to remedy the
existing evils in regard to farm
ers securing cars, the grading OF
wheat and the stoppage of an ex-
orbitant margin on wheat by the
elevators. Did the Sentinelsu sug-
gest any thing. No. AS usual it
lodges the issue and the very
learned ssold man" of the Senti-
mel, answered in his,usual style
that of abusing the editor of the
Courier. That is about all he
knows anyway, because he is in
capable of intelligently discus
sing any question. The Sentinel
says: 1--WE would like to ask the
ssboy editor" Of the Courier a
few questions. Does he know
the difference between the ex-
ecutive and legislative depart
ments of our system of govern
ment? Does he know to which
branch the governor and state
officers beloDg?" And then the
much learned ? ..old man" pro-
tceedst to roast US for being dense
intellectually, ETC., and blames
the whole thing to the republi
can party. Now in 1892 the
populists and the republicans
went before the people on state
issues and the populists elected
the governor and state officers
and the board of railroad COM
missioners, and a general era Of
reform was promised. Did the
populists reform anything? Not
one solitary thing. The same
method of grading wheat was
then in vogue. the same eleva-
tors and railroads were doing
business using the same methods
as they are today. There was
already "a law on our statute
books compelling railroads to
give farmers cars the same as
there is today. Did this reform
populist board of commissioners
remedy the evil and did the
honest reform governor compel
his populist board of railroad
commissioners to force the rail
road to give cars to farmers and
the elevators not to take such a
big margin on wheat. Not on
your life, They drew their
salaries-nothing more-and
they we're powerless to do more
and the Sentinel knows it only
too well. Suppose the legis.
lature passed q law compelling
railroads to give farmers cars
! whenever they wanted them and
the railroad turned around and
said they were short of cars.
How could the commissioners
get around it? Will the Sentinel
point out a remedy and quit it's
personal abuse. Remedy is
what the people want not abuse
Of the Courier editor. Suggest
q method or stop your calamity
bowling. The republican board
of commissioners will carry out
any method they can enforce.
In 1892 the legislature was COM
posed in the house of 33 republi-
cans. % fusionists. in the senate
90 republicans II fusionists, and
standing over this legislative
body was that honest reform
governor e. G. D. Shortridge.
The Sentinel says ..that every
appropriation Of money was
made by o republican legislature
and spent at their edict. .
Granted. But why does not the
Sentinel tell it's readers that
their reform governor was vest
ed with the right Of veto and that
had he exercised that right and
the fusion members had backed
him up, that the republican legis-
lature with only 13 majority, was
powerless to pass an appropria-
tion bill over the governors S We
Griggs courier., 1898-12-08


mel tells about. In the senate
the bills passed almost unani-
mously and in the house many
populists and democrats voted
for them and those who did not
like the esteemed president Of
the Sentinel company. were
ABSENT AND NOT VOTING. II
the appropriation bills were too
large why didn't the fusion mem
bers vote against them and go on
record instead Of being absent
and not voting. When it comes
down to important measures
Griggs county had q member
absent and not voting. We
might just as well have been
represented by wooden man.
Then again the different institu-
tions of the state-with the ex-
ception of one or two, were con-
trolled by populists boards ap
pointed by the governor and the
money spent by them and
not by the republicans as
stated by the Sentinel, and
at the end of their two years of
Office the institutions were Grip
pied by mismangement and the
state plunged several hundred
thousand dollars in debt by the
grand reform administration and
the farmers have been paying
for this mismanagement ever
since. The reform state treasur-
er endeared himself to the peo-
pie by putting about $4,000 of
the peoples interest money into
his private pocketbook and thus
helped out these reforms in Of
fee. The Sentinel does not like
to have us compare the present
efficient administration of state
affairs with the Shortridge dis
NAL failure, but as it is the only
time the fusionists have had a
chance to distinguished them
selves we are compelled to COM
pare. If they had had two years
more of power the state would
have gone broke, It is true that
the Shortridge administration
never tried to thwart anything
but reform, and it did that to a
finish. The Courier is heartily
in favor of "a remedy for all these
gigantic schemes to beat the
wheat producer and it is now in
order for the ''old man" of the
Sentinel with his large nucleus
of the '.gray matter" to offer
some feasible solution of the diff
fculty. If he could be persuad-
ed to draft a bill to pass the
legislature which would be heed
ed and obeyed by these railroads
and corporations after it be-
comes law he would do much
more good than he does now sit
ting in his Office and bowling
about the wlckedness of the re-
publican party. The trouble
with the populist party is that
when it has the opportunity to
distinguish itself and which it is
now loudly clamoring for the re-
publican party to do it always
fails. It had q grand chance to
make a record in 1892 but it was
not equal to the task and fell by
the wayside. We admit that
there are many things that need.

fects, but up to date no such
measure has been introduced by
a pop and probably won't be.
There is nothing to prohibit a
pop from doing something for
suffering humanity and if the re-
publicans refuse tc pass such a
measure for him then they
would be to blame. We know
that that the republican party is
