HURON, S. D., Oct. 1.-THE special train
bearing Senators Hanna and Frye traV-
eled UP and down through the counties or
central South Dakota to-day i'm the districts
where the vote, as a rule, Is close, ana
where farmers compose a greater part or
the population. Fourteen stops, varying In
length from three minutes TO an hour, were
made during the day, Senator Hanna max
ing speeches at Redfeld, Worthwhile, Gro
ton, Andover, Bristol, Bradley. Elrod, Bry-
ant, Lake Preston and Desmet, as well as
Iroquois, Huron, Aberdeen and Webster.
Senator Frye also spoke at some
length at the more important stop
ping places. A good deal of spice
was put into the speeches at times
by sharp questioning on the part of the
audience, who desired to hear about trusts
and Imperialism and were not slow to make
their wishes known. This was true, espe-
cially at Aberdeen, where Senator Hanna
was constantly interrupted during his
speech by questions regarding various
phases Of the trust issue. Senator Hanna
apparently enjoyed these Interruptions and
invariably answered them. During the aft
ernoon. while the train was running
through a thinly populated part of the
State and stops were brief and ~infrequent.
Senator Hanna spent about half of his time
at the various stations in shaking hands
with the crowds, who nearly dragged him
from his car on one occasion in the effort
TO shake hands with him.
1t Webster, he was visited in his car by
a delegation of Sioux Indians from the
Sisseton reservation These Indians are all
voters. The most important meeting of the
day was held tonight at Huron, where the
train stopped for the night, and where both
Senators Hanna and Frye and Victor Dolli-
yer made addresses of considerable length.
At the opera house Mr.. Hanna spoke in
part as follows:
"My connection with public affairs began
in 1850, when, as a friend of General Gar
field, / took an active part In that CAM
paign. The experience of that campaign
taught me that business men and men Of
affairs disregard too much the Importance
of political campaigns in this country. They
neglect them because they are afraid that
somebody will call them politicians. Now,
/ risked all that, and from that day in ev-
cry national campaign / have done what I
could with the light 1 had and the ability 1
possessed to further the interests of the
Republican party.
you all know how timid capital is. If
there was the faintest idea In this county
that Mr.. Bryan would be the next Pres
fdent, supported by a Bryanite House, cap
ital would begin to steal away as it did in
1898. Withdraw from business and be entire
ly hidden away in bank vaults and stocking
legs. 1t would disappear so gradually but
so effectively that in q few short months
we would find ourselves exactly in the
same condition that we were in 1896. Every
man who has a dollar under our form of
government has absolute control of it. That
man Judges for himself from the standpoint
of his W reason what Is best for him to
do. and every man who has been engaged
I'm business long enough to have had the ex-
p%erience Of a panic when the first cloud
appeared on the horizon would begin TO
contract his business, to withdraw his capt.
tai, stop all enterprises that were on the
way and slow down manufacturing gem
orally.
Upon the result of this election depends
the prosperity of the country for a decade.
depends the maintenance of our Nation in
its PRESENT. place in the very firing line Of
the world.
II want every man here to forget about
party afhliation and take this question
home with him. Consider Ii from the
standpoint I have outlined. Your own per-
sonal interest first and those immediately
dependent upon you. and then rise to that
higher plane and for the benefit of your
fellow-men. for the glory and prosperity of
your country, vote to continue Mckinley i'm
power"
