Huron, S. D., oct. 1.-THE special

the counties Of central South Dakota

during the day, Senator Hanna max
ing speeches at Redfeld, Worthwhile,
Groton, Andover, Bristol, Bradley,
Elrod, Bryant, Lake Preston, Deseret,
Iroquois, Huron, Aberdeen and Web
ster.
4 good deal of spice was put into the
speeches at times by sharp questioning
on the part of the audiences who de-
sired TO hear about trusts and i'm
perialism and were not slow to make
their wishes known. This was true
especially at Aberdeen, where Senator
Hanna was constantly interrupted
during his speech by questions regard
ing various phases of the trust issue.
After Senator Frye had made an ad-
~dress Senator Hanna was introduced.
Hello, Mark" yelled the crowd.
Mr.. Hanna proceeded to discuss the
tariff.
What about the trusts?" asked some
one in the crowd. I'VE want to know
about the trusts"
well, my friends, if you will tell
me what a trust is, I'll answer your
question: said Mr.. Hanna.
No reply came.
Defines a Trust.
We'll if you don't know, I'll tell
you" continued Mr.. Hanna. "A trust
under the law and what is known as a
trust in commerce is where the stock
of a corporation iSyput into the hands
of a trustee, carrying with it the VOt-
ing power. Every single organization
of that kind that ever had its existence
in the United States has been wiped out
through the action Of the Sherman
law, and that law was put upon the
statute books of the United States by
a Republican congress-
Mr.. Hanna then proceeded with his
speech. but a moment later he was
again interrupted by question regard
ing the Cleveland Ship-builders' asso-
citation. -
Say, senator, that man thinks the
world is fiat; don't pay any attention
To him." yelled the farmer.
''AH right" said Mr. Hanna, with a
| laugh, but 1 would like to stay here
all day and discuss this thing. But
! want TO tell you that the --LATEST of all
| fairness will be the Democratic party
next month.
Cheers for Pettigrew mingled with
| the cheers for Mckinley and Hanna
that were given as the speaker con-
Guided. The party was then driven to
| the train.
Visited By Indians.
/ At Webster the audience included a
| number of Sioux Indians from the Sis
/ seton reservation near by. Senator
Hanna made a short speech. For the
! first time he was questioned regarding
! Imperialism, and to that subject he de-
| voted most of his address,
| All the Sioux Indians in the crowd
| headed by Chief SOl-Two-Stars, and
| Louis Labelle, the orator, marched into
/ Senator Hanna's cal. when he had con-

/ sale of their lands, and the object OF
/ the visit was to petition Senator Hanna
