TIE RECORD OF PETTIGREN
WAS A STRAIGHT OUT REPUBLICAN
UNTIL THE FREE SILVER
SPLIT In 1896
NOT CHOSEN BY DEMOCRATS
Statement That His First Election to
the United States Senate Was
by a Fusion Vote Ia
Erroneous.

PIERRE, s. D., May 4-(Special)
Senator Pettigrew's late financial success
has led to the printing of a great deal
of gossip concerning his plans for the
future and his former political career
some of which is erroneous. a dispatch
TO a Minneapolis paper of a late date
states that his first election to the
United States senate was secured by a
coalition Of the Democrats and Republic
ans. The records of the legislative ses-
sion Of 1850 show that both Pettigrew
and Moody were elected by the Repub-
hcan vote of that body The fourteen
Democrats in that legislature gave Their
votes to Bartlett Tripp, of Yankton, and
the late NJ. II. Day, of Rapid City, then
a prominent figure IN politics in the
state. John L. Jolley, Of Clay county,
who was elected to congress to succeed
John r. Gamble at the special election
of 1891 voted for Trip in the Joint ses-
sion, but he had voted for Pettigrew
on the ballot taken in the senate.
1t was at this session that the famous
Petugrew-M Moody -Edgerton com
bination was effected, which resulted in
the retirement Of Edgerton from the
senatorial race and his appointment for
United States district judge. Edgerton
had enough votes to elect him senator,
and if he had remained in the race it
would have resulted in the defeat Of
he could be nominated in the caucus,
and subsequently when he was invited
to take carriage ride with Gov. Mel
Iette, he accepted the proposition Of
Pettlgrew and Moody to retire from the
senatorial canvass in consideration of
an appointment to the bench Edger-
ton had the most devoted and enthus-
dastic following of any man who ever
went into the fight in the history OF
South Dakota politics and it was with
difficulty that these men were prevent
ed from electing him senator against
his protest.
Pettigrew made his first appearance in
territorial politics as an applicant for
office in 1850, when ne was nominated for
delegate to congress at a convention
held at Vermlllion. He was defeated
for a denomination at the convention
held at Grand Forks IN 1882 by John D.
Raymond and did not make his appear
ance again till 1884, when he was a men,
her of the territorial council. 1t was
here that he announced his intention Cor
the first time to be the first senator elect
ed from South Dakota in the event Of
the division Of the territory. He took
no part in the play-state effort which
formulated the constitution made at HUI
ron in 1885, but began planning for con-
trol Of the Republican party in 1889, when
IT became certain that the state would
be admitted to the Union. His first
election to the United States senate was
by the Republicans and his second cleo
ton was unanimous in the Republican
caucus at the session Of 1894. His par
ty record as a Republican was straight
till 1895. when he walked out Of the Re-
publican national convention at St Lou 8
with Teller and the Silver Republican
contingent.

The recent decisions of u number of dis

to the collection of taxes on properties
not listed for taxation. has renewed in
terest In matters pertaining 10 the tax
ferrets throughout the state One OF the
most successful men in the state cneac-
ed in ferreting out properties that Ia ~
not been listed for taxation Is j. j. Car
nahan, Of this city He has been In tho
business for the past thirteen years in
Illinois, Indiana and Iowa lie now has
contracts for ferret work In fifteen coun-
ties of this state He was interviewed
by your correspondent in reference 70
the work in Iowa He stated that the
state assessment OF 1900 has been in
creased over $60.0G0,COa in the state Of
Iowa through the direct efforts Of tax
agitation. In the state of Iowa, figur-
ing on the basis Of counties which he has
already worked in fully $4,000 had been
paid into the various county treasurers
of the state through the efforts Of fer
rets. Now So of the 90 counties OF the
state were either actively engaged In
the work or had contracts with parties
to make an investigation OF the records
this line. In Floyd county about $50, 90
In unpaid taxes have been paid into the
treasury; In Cerro Gordo county about
$1,000; in Hardin county about 5000,
and so It goes through the state. Quite
large percent of this comes from outside
the state, that is, foreign capital that b
used in the county where no one pays
taxes on It, 1t is common to find Eng
lish capital In counties where no taxes
are paid upon 1t. According TO Mr.. Car
nahan, but two classes OF people are
now opposing the work of tax ferrets
They were those ignorant OF the meth
DDS employed and those who were guilty
tax dodgers, The work of the tax fer
rets is becoming more popular right
along. The state allows them - per cent
for collecting and IS per cent goes into
the treasury of the county.
