THE FUSION TICKET.
"A Good, Strong Ticket Made Up Of
Clean Candidates.

When the populists and demo-
Gratis of Pennington county met in
convention at Keystone the republi-
cans held political prayer meeting.
They only get into these praying
moods once in two years-praying
that something might turn up to
prevent the fusion and cooperation
of the two political forces whose
cardinal principles are one and the
same. But the populists and demo.
Gratis fused and they did it with less
friction than ever before. So the g..
0. p. hope that fusion would fail was
dashed to the ground and they had
to fall back on the old cry that "the
ticket was weak and the republicans
would beat it very easily" Such
an assertion is gauzy, it is antique
and in the words Of Joe Buck, the
prune-juggling statesman, "it is not
potent" A stronger or cleaner
ticket has never been put in the
field by the fusion forces of Pen
nington county, and never one
which SO thoroughly represented
every section and interest of the
county,
Take Hon. Edmund Smith for
state senator for instance. He serv-
ed in the senate at the last session
OF the legislature. Has Pennington
county ever had an abler man in that
body-a man who did moro hard
work for his county.
The UNION challenges anyone to
point out an abler man for senator
than the genial, whole-souled Ed.
Smith. He is rs square as die, a
tireless fighter for his opinions and
the interests of his constituents.
For represen tatives, d. r. Morris
and T.. Griggs. Look the two
men over. Anything wrong witt
them? Haye two cleaner or ADLER
candidates ever heen presented TO.
the people OF this county. Be f1on-.
est, now, and think the matter over.
Neither Of these men are very noisy,
but they have honest convictions
and believe in standing by them.
Elect them and Pennington county
will be properly represented.
For county treasurer, Chas. T.
Tittle-the man who has aided in
getting Pennington county "onte
it's feet financially and who viii

Look back over almost thirty years
Of this kind Of work done by thi:

What more do you want?
T. j. Ingersol-as clean ma
