Mr. Bentley calls the presenta-
ton Of the court records of Day
county "mud-slinging." If it is
the duty Of q newspaper to soft
soap every candidate for Office,
regardless of his character or
fitness, then indeed has Mr..
Bentley been ill-treated. Butas
a newspaper man and as a re-
publican we believe the republi-
cans of Grant county have d right
to be fully informed as to what
manner of man they are called
upon to support by their selec-
ton of delegates next Thursday.
If Mr.. Bentley's transactions
will not stand the light of in
vestigation that is his misfortune,
but neither the party nor the
county should be called in to
carry the load.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1902-04-18

Republicans will do well to see
that the issue between Mr.. Tru-
ran and Mr.. Bentley is kept
clear-cut and direct. An attempt
is being made in some quarters
to cloud the issue by raising 9TH
er questions. There will be a
proper time to dispose of all
these other questions later. The
present question is do you want
delegates at the county and state
conventions who will promote
the candidacy OF Mr.. Truran or
delegates who will promote the
candidcy of Mr.. Bentley. Keep
the fight straight on these lines.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1902-04-18

Mr.. Bentley says he lays nc
claim to having caused the bliz.
zard IN which Page F. Howe froze
to death. His friends will be re-
joiced to hear of his newly &C.
quired modesty. l, is so unlike
him, for during his last ten years
heroic but unsuccessful attempt
to break into Office he has laid
claim to everything in the
heavens above, the earth beneath
or the waters under the earth,
but we are pleased to hear he
lays no claim to that snow storm.
Modest Mr.. Bentley.

Don't forget the caucuses next
Thursday. No republican can
afford to neglect this duty. 1t
is in the primaries that mat
ters of local, state and national
government is determined. Do
not be cajoled or frightened out
Of exercising your right.

The editor of the Review

The editor of the Review in
endorsement of Mr.. Bentley,
says that he made a business OF
verifying the charge made by
Mr.. Bentley, ETC., and that he
became satisfied that he was
probably" correct. A good
witness should get beyond the
probability stage. Now we sug-
gest that one j. w. Barnes be
called to testify as to the good
qualities Of Mr.. Bentley as con
fdential attorney.

Resembles COxcy.

Mr.. Bentley's chief argument
seems to be that he has been
turned down at every convention
tor the past decade. This is no
argument at all. Coxey might
have wanted to be president all
his life, but the people of the
United States never wanted him,
and they don't want him now

Our friend, Mr.. Bentley, init.
mates in his Review article that
he was simply attorney in the
case and permitted the property
to be decided to him instead of to
the bank to facilitate transferring
when necessary-simply an &C
commodation to the bank. Be-
pevolent Mr.. Bentley.
