Support the President

And William Mckinley. our noble
president, How shall we repay him?
Who. by his wisdom and good sound
Judgment. inspired the people with
confidence and hope so that at no time
did we question the result Of the con-
fict. We, as patriotic people or South
Dakota, owe 1t to him that we send to
Washington, representatives who will
Loyalty uphold his administration and
not clog the wheels of progress which
are to carry this nation to prosperity
and peace. Would 1t not be well to
place ourselves right before our sister
states of the Union, and be represented
in congress by men who will maintain
the honor and integrity and dignity es-
setial to a new state OF growing i'm
portance?
The results OF the war will help to
make this nation a great nation. more
honored and loved by her people and
respected ind feared abroad. Her in
fiuence In a interest OF peace and en-
liehtened government cannot fail to
produce liberty and a higher grade OF
civilization for the less fortunate ma
tons Of this hemisphere, that have suf-
fered the yoke Of oppression for CEN
turtles.
South Dakota has done her full share
by sending forth her noble sons willing
and anxious to do .heir part in the
struggle for liberty and humanity.
I love'South Dakota-here has been
my home for the past twenty-three
years. here I expect to pass the rest OF
my Hfe. Let all of our efforts be for
her prosperity and the protection oil
her credit and good name.

the assessment boards in arriving at a

property which escapes taxation en-
