Why REFLECT PETTIsREW7
Union Contributor Answers tile
Question Of the Journals Anti
Pettigrew- Editor.

"Why rssclect Pettigrew?" asks
the Journal, and then it gives the
reasons for his reelection sufficient
to satisfy any true American. But
in order that the Journal may have
some specific reasons besides those
it gave, we submit the following:
Re-elect Senator Pettigrew be-
cause Of the great interest he has al
ways taken in any and all matters
beneficial to the state OF South Dako-
ia.
Because he has defended the cause
of the common people against the
aggressicns Of greed during the past
six years as no other man has.
He tried to break the power OF the
trusts by offering an amendment to
the Dingley tariff, placing all trust
controlled products on the free list,
which would have reduced the price
of such articles to we common .peo-
pie from 20 to 100 per cent.
He opposed the infamous currency
law enacted last March which, when
in full operation, will have taken all
of the peoples money from them
and substituted q system of money
which compels both the government
and the people to pay tribute to the
banking trust.
He fought valiantly for the release
of700 miners who were herdcd in a
filthy bull pen by negro troops Of
the U. S, army out in Idaho for sew
en- long months without trial.
He opposed with all the vigor Of
his American manhood an increase
in the standing army, which adds
taxation to the burdens Of the peo-
pie and encourages the fatal spirit
of militarism.
He has shown the patriotic spirit
Of the statesman Of l776in his hero

ideals, the tearing iEto shreds the

THEY TALK II OVER.

n6l AIN u VvEns
Smith and Jones Discuss the fairs Of
Pennington County.
Hello, SMITH shouted Jones as
the two met in the road the other
day. Both were Pennington county
ranchers aud Taxpayers and, of
course, there was a brotherly feel
ing between them. Smith replied
with. his "hello" and the two stop
ped for short talk.
Well, remarked Jones, .the
campaigni is about over and ! am
glad Of ii. I'm tired Of politics.
9 Yes, " rejoined Smith, ''and I've
been posting myself on county af-
fairs and want to give you a few
pointers, evenif you are tired OF the
campaign"
Jones told his neighbor to go
ahead and he would listen.
Now, we are both residents of
Pennington county, began Smith,
and we ought to be- interested in
4 the way the county is run. The fu-
sionists have had control of county
affairs for little over three years
{ and did you know, Jones, that up
until they took hold, the county
debt piled higher aud higher each
month";
II hadn't thought of that, an
swered Jones'. How is the thing
going since the tuslonists have been
running things7"
WELL began Smith, "the fusion
lists created the current expense
fund, or cash fund, on July 1st, 1897.
Since then they have paid the run-
ling expenses of the county in cash.
That kept the debt from increasing.
Then, since that time they have paid
over $50, 900 of the old county debt
and they still have. cash on hand.
How's that? #
Pretty good showing for anar-
thists and repudiators, admitted
Jones with smile. 'sBut what made
up the county s big debt?n
The wholesale issuing Of county
general warrants, issued in pay
nent OF the county expenses before
this current expense fund was Gre
ated," replied Smith, and these
warrants drew z per cent interest,
too. We used to get only 50 cents
on the dollar for them. Now we
getspot cash for our services rend-
cred the countv."
Yes, but a republican told me
the other day that money had been
taken from the county general fund
tomaintain this cash system money
which should have gone to redeem
those old outstanding warrants" !"
put in Jones.
That republican lied: to you,
then said Smith warmly. Thirty
minutes examination ofrthe county
ireasurer's books will show that not
one nickel has ever been trans erred
from the county general fund to the
current expense fund. I looked the
matter up for myself.n
$ How are county expenses now
4 as compared with what they we're
under republican rule?" asked
E Jones.
Nearly one-half less and they
will be smaller still if the fusion
county tickets elected next Tues
day, replied Smith, for every fu-
Il sion nominee is pledged to ave the
cost 6fs a deputy unless he can show
the commissioners board that ole is
absolutely necessary That would
meansa savingof about $2S00 pei

CIRCUIT COURT OPENS.
Judge kirwan Presides at the
June Term.
TWENTY.NINE CASES ON CALENDAR.
The Most Important One is Brought by Nash
and Nash to Recover $4,000 From the
Aetna Insurance Company for the
Landreth Estate.

The June term of the Circuit court
opened in the Court House, Tuesday,
Judge Kirwin presiding. In all there
are twenty nine cases ON the calendar
The principal litigation at this term of
court is an action brought by Nash and
Nash in the interest of the Landreth
heirs against the Aetna Insurance Co.. i,
of Hartford Conn. This case is interest
ing to all who have insurance and who
by an oversight fail to pay the premium
on the day it falls due. 1t seems that
Albert Landreth's premium came due
while he was ON his death bed in Flori-
da, and payment to the company was
not offered to the company for several
days after death. The company accept
ed the payment, keeping the money for
four msnths.
When collection was demanded on
the policy of $1,000, it seems the com
pany declined to pay, taking the techni-
cal grounds that the last payment had
been rendered too late, hence the policy
had lasped This case will not be heard
until June a.
The attention of the court has been
occupied this week with hearing in the
suit brought by Sebastian Feldschmidt
against F. w. Hoefer et al The prose
