BRAVE SENATOR PEIIl6REW.
Next to Mr.. Bryan, the man most
feared, most hated by the trusts and
corruptionist Is the tall Senator from
South Dakota. r. +. Pettigrew.
For several years his persistent repre-
sentative Of tho common people has
been . thorn In the side Of the admins
tration and has been the means Of m
covering more rascality and private
jobs than any member Of the senate.
Every move by the administration
along unconstitutional lines has found
Psttigrew standing in the way, and
every blun made by such champions Of
the trusts % Hanna, Elkins q Co. has
bsen quickly called BY him. His bold
stand has drawn the eyes Of the nation
towards him. Is It any wonder that
the enemies Of constitutional liberty
have chalked him for slaughter. The
power Of the administration 10 working
hand in hand with the gold Of the cor
ruptionist to bring shout the defeat Of
this western senator. There il not an
enemy Of the people but wants to see
him turned down this fall It will
serve as . warning to other courageous
statesmen.
The campaign against Pettigrew was
inaugurated by President Mckinley in
person when he toured South Dakota,
and ever since that time speaker after
speaker of the national prominence has
hurried into the disputed territory to
poison the minds Of the voters Of that
locality against their chief represent-
ative. Under orders, Teddy whirled
through the state expecting to sweep
away the very ground on which Petit
grew stood. Not satisfied that the
work has been accomplished. Mark
Hanna, that Prince Of Corruptionists.
in the place Of combining himself to
legitimate politics has gone to South
Dakota, state that he never ssw be-
fore to tell the people It il their interest
to turn down their gifted son. With
deception on his lips and bribery In bis
hands this great briber expects to de-
bauch whole state. There Il no man
in the United States that Hanna for
personal reason wants to eco defeated
more than he does the brave Senator
from South Dakota.
Fortunately the people Of South
Dakota arc thinking people and are
familiar with their own wants and
needs. They will look with suspicion
ON this bloated owner Of stolen wealth
who travels around in princely opu-
lance. They win ak him what he has
done towards the upbuilding Of their
young common wealth. They will want
70 know by what right or privilege
he comes from the aristocratic city Of
Cleveland to instruct the honest farmers
Of South Dakota - to their duty. They
will ask Hanna to point to . single line
Of legislation that he has passed for
their benefit.
The people Of South Dakots know
Mr.. Pettigrew. They know he was in
the fore ranks in the long battle Of
statehood, they know that It was hia
efforts that secured tho necessary legis.
lation needed by the homesteader, the
miner and the pioneer. They know that
Pettigrew was with them whom calam.
iSy and disaster came, they know that
when they prospered he prospsred and
when they failed his fortune also wen,
down. They know that It was hil
genius and energy that made siou1
Falls one Of the most sntsrprisine
municipalities in the wide awake west
VIII the people Of South Dakota lister
20 the lying debaucher Of nation wh<
has never lifted . finger in their inter

statesman. We think we know what
they win do.
Pettigrew's fame has leaped over the
state boundaries Of South Dakots. he
has become national character.
Thousands Of people, in Indiana and all
over the United States will watch the
struggle between corruption and man.
