PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE
CONSTITUTION.
Article XVI.

Section 1. All powers conferred by
his article, shall extend to the several
states, the territories, the District of
Columbia, and all territory under the
sovereignty and subject to the jurisdic-
ton of the United States.
Sec. 2. Congress shall v power to
define, regulate, control, prohibit, or
dissolve trusts, ~monopolies, or combina-
lions, whether existing in the form of a
corporation or otherwise.
The several states may continue to
exercise such power in any manner not
in conflict with h law of the United
States.
enforce the provisions of this article by
appropriate legislation.
This amendment was fully debated
and put to a vote ,and every republican
but two voted for it, and every demo-
crat but seven voted against it, and it
was lost. And the reason the demo-
Gratis opposed it was: First. that it con-
flicted with their doctrine that the con-
s~titution follows the flag: second, that it
interfered with the old democratic
dogma of states rights, and third, that
If adopted it would deprive them of their
leading issue in this campaign. In the
light of this vote we must not be CEN
sured for doubling the sincerity of the
democratic party upon this trust ques-
ton.
But as a matter of fact, my friends,
we do no hear SO much about this trust
question as we did at the beginning Of
the campaign. because since then we
have had the exposure of the Tammany
ice trust. The stock of this trust is
owned by the Tammany officials, includ-
ing the mayor and a large number of the
district judges. n the Investigation
has shown it to be the most cruel and
merciless of all the trusts yet formed.
because its illegal extortion were
practiced upon the masses of the poor
people of New York. who are ruled by
that corrupt political trust known as
Tammany. and who We're powerless to
escape it's dishonest demands.
And then, too, 1t has leaked out that

South Dakota Is just now paying for
some more Of the "business.lke and
economical management" of the fusion
lists. The election law passed by them
in 1897 requires the publication Of GER,
tificates:of nomination. in every paper,
daily and weekly, in each county. In
the case of Lawrence county where
there are fifteen papers the cost of pub.
lication is about $500. AS there are SO
counties in the state, none Of which has
less than three papers, the aggregate ex-
pense is something enormous. On top
of this is an additional expense Of $5, 900
made necessary by the publication OF
the fusion ticket twice, once as Demo.
cratic and once as Populist solely in the
interest OF that party. In otner states
the election laws forbid the duplication
of tickets but to encourage fusion, re.
gardless of expense, Populist legisla-
ture has made elections in this state
twice if not three times as costly as they
need be,

The Edgemont Express in speaking Of
John L. Burke candidate for state sena-
tor from Fall River and Custer counties,
says: "He is one OF the best known
men in republican politics in the state.
Always staunch republican he has
been in the legislature, county treasurer,
delegate to state and national conyen-
tions and has always come home with
added laurels for himself and Fall River
county. He is the candidate to be in
this position which was so ably filled by
Senator Benedict of Custer county two
years ago. The record set then must be
sustained and John l.. Burke is the one
to do IL. His past record is an open
book to the voters of the two counties,
and they cannot do better than make
him their state senator"

Hsw.re of Eleventh Hour sianders.

The fusion press and speakers In this
state from Pettigrew and his organs mp
and down, have become desperate over
the prospects of sure defeat and from
this time on may be expected to devote
themselves to manufactured issues and
personal abuse of republican candidates.
In fact, they have already begun cam
paign of mud in this county, as was cyl
denced by the slanderous attack made
upon Clerk of Courts Rutkowski by the
Tribune Pilot in its issue Of last week.
This ought to have no effect on intelli-
gent voters and will not if they are on
their guard. Let every republican be
on his guard against eleventh hour

Demo-Pop Lie Nailed.

In reply to the query of the editor OF
the Tribune-Pilot ia an article in its
issue OF October 26th last, as to why A.
B. KIttredge paid Mr.. Rutkowski's per
sonal taxes. and citing this payment as
evidence of the purchase fthe said Rat
kowski by the republican party, and
this the price paid. the following true
explanation of the matter is given: The
Sioux Falls Building and Loan Associa-
ton, corporation of which Burre II.
Lien, the peoples party candidate for
governor is the president, and for which
A. B. Kittredge is the attorney, land
who by the way Is not the chairman OF
the republican state central committee)
held mortgage on Mr. Rutkowski's
house and lot in Custer City. When,
under financial stress, he became un-
able 10 meet the monthly payments on
said mortgage, the company declared its
intention to foreclose on the property.
To save further expenses and costs OF
foreclosure, he gave to the corporation a
deed to the property, subject to oil his
taxes then due by him. said taxes then
being lien on this real estate. 1t is
this tax.len that the Sioux Falls Build
ing and Loan Association through its
attorney, A. B. Kittredge, has been try
ing to settle for some time, the deed
haying passed about three years ago,
and which lien they have tried to
squirm out of paying, till settlement
had finally been effected between the
board Of county commissioners and the
Loan company, through Its Attorney
Kittredge, as reported in the proceed
ings of the board published September
l4th last Since the deed issued, and
this real estate became the property OF
said Burre II. Lien and his associates in
this company, Mr.. Rutkowski had no
more to do with these taxes than the
editor of the Tribune-Pilot or his i'll ad.
visors.
These are the facts as shown by the
records of the county. What the pur
pose and object of the informant of the
Tribune-Pilot was is to obvious to de.
served condemnation Of all right mind
ed men regardless of their political
affiliations. 1t is easy to asperse per-
sons character, but not quite so easy tc
rectify the error, and it is we'll that in
this instance Mr.. Rutkowski's character
for integrity and probity is to we'll es
tablished in this community to suffer by
political mud-slinging.
We are informed that Mr.. McHoei
will rsctify the wrong done to Mr.. Rut
kowski in this weeks issue of the Tr

In the last hours of the campaign the
mud batteries Of the opposition have
been turned on Mr.. Herreid In the in
terest of Mr.. Lien. Mr.. Herreid has
been in public life IN this state for the
past ten years. and his record is an open
book. Had there been any just ground
for attacking him the fusionists would
not have delayed their roorbacks until
this late day. When Mr.. Herreid was
lieutenant governor ofsthe state, four
years ago, every democrat and populist
member of the legislature of 1893 and
1895 was loud in praise and approval Of
his official acts. That record stands
still, is well known to every voter in the
state, and cannot be successfully assailed

Electors favoring the repeal Of the
dispensary system will place cross be
fore the word YES" Those opposing
the repeal of the dispensary system will
place q cross before the word "No."
The Dispensary system is an expert
ment only, and has been tried in South
Carolina and according to the best light
obtsinable from that state it is failure
The friends of the system now admit
this. Now the question is, shall South
Dakota experiment with system which
is admittedly failure elsewhere2 The
CHRONICLE after carefully considering
this question from every standpoint, is
OF the opinion that the amendment
should be repealed. In fact we can
find no good reason for contrary view.
From business standpoint no material
good can come from injecting the Dis
pensary into state affairs. From poll.
tical standpoint it would be ruinous to
any party and instead OF taking the
liquor question out of politics it would
put it among the leading political ques-
tions and would be troublesome to us as
long as it remained part Of the consti.
tuition.
From temperance standpoint moth
ing would be gained. Even by its ad.
vocates it is not contended that it would
make men more temperate or reduce
the consumption ofintoxicating liquors
1t would certainly not do away with the
saloon. Instead of having (, licensed

would have saloons run by the state,
under state supervision and by politi-
cans who would use their power to pro.
mote the interests Of the party in con-
troll of the state saloon. We fail to see
how the temperance cause would be
benefited any by changing the saloon
from an individual concern to state
concern. Drinking would not be les.
sened, temptations would not be remoy-
ed. The only change would be to take
the individual out and to put the state
into the liquor business. In South
Carolina the Dispensary system has
worked injury to the state, created dis
turbance and bred riots, and the Gov
ernor says the law has had hard row
that the inducements for corruption In
this business are great and the men with
whom the commission have to deal are
after conscriptions.
The question proposed makes nc
claim to being a temperance measure
It's friends cannot show any good re-
suits emanating from il where tried and
every voter should go to the polls pre-
pared to vote intelligertly upon thi'
important question which reduced to its
simplest form is, shall the state 60 into

position should put cross before the
word "No" on the ballot, and those who
believe that the state has no business tc

"Yes" to repeal the amendment. Vote
"Yes" and help vote bad law off oul

The Pettigrew organs throughout the
state have thrown of all disguise and
now say openly they would rather see
the entire fusion ticket defeated than
to lose the legislature. That is what
We have alleged from the first but We
hardly expected the organs to admit il
80 frankly. One thing should be borne
in mind, however, that Pettigrew has no
show whatever of carrying the legisla-
ture without the aid of Republican

One Of the constitutional questions To
be passed upon by the voters of this
state at the approaching election is the
repeal Of Article 27, pertaining to the
sale Of Intoxicating liquors by the state
and known as the Dispensary amend
ment. The Dispensary amendment
was submitted to the voters two years
ago but only small percentage of the
vote was cast Ipon the question. A
majority OF the vote cast, however was
in favor of the amendment and it be-
came a part OF the constitution. The
legislature OF '9S resubmitted the ques-
tion and it therefore comes up again in
the coming election. Below Is fac
