taken up the question Of getting the vote

will be made in many counties. Letters
of a personal nature will be written to
voters just before election day. The most
unique effort in this direction, however,
will be the liberal use of the telephone on
election day. AS many communities in
the state are covered with networks of
telephone wires, this method will, it is
thought, be very effective.

HIGHMORE, S. d. - The late Editor
Sherman B. Robinson of Winchester
Tenn. who was shot down in the streets
Of that town, was the son Of George L. F.
Robinson Of this place.
Sherman B. Robinson is remembered by
many Of the early settlers of this locality,
having come here from Illinois in 1882,
when but a lad. He learned the printers

ness, which terminated in the tragedy.
He leaves a wife and five children. The
following dispatch from Winchester gives
the details of the shooting:
Editor s. B. Robinson was shot by At
torney George E. Banks and died from in
ternal hemorrhage. The trouble grew out
Of the late judicial campaign. Editor
Robinson supported Allison, the demo-
cratic nominee, until the last week of the
campaign, and then for reasons which he
considered sufficient, withdrew his sup
port and supported Jesse M. Littleton.
Two nights prior to the election, Mr..
Banks in a speech charged Robinson with
selling out and said that he had been a
| republican in Dakota before he came to
| Winchester. = After the election Mr.. Rob
inson took the matter up in his paper and
| commented upon the charge in vigorous
| terms, branding the statements as lies.
! Wednesday afternoon Editor Robinson
| had to pass Mr.. Banks office while he
was standing in the doorway. He had
talmost gotten by, when Banks hailed him
and said: Did you write that article?''
| II did, replied Robinson.
! You're a id liar" said Banks, and
