hair from this course by the loudest

is the only course short of iellyfish

will welcome and emphasize this at
any cost and with the expenditure oil
of It's best effort.

HUGHES COUNTY AND THE REMOVAL or
THE STATE FAIR

The editor OF the Beresford Republic
wants to know whereinsheis wrong In
his controversy with as on the
Journal Of the last legislature and
promises to .'fess ap'' when shown his
mistake. We pointed out his mistakes
clearly and at some length In our issue
of Sept. s. However, we will briefly
recapituiate. Bro. Sturges charges
the COURIER with adopting rather
questionable measures in support OF
Mitchell;" also that ssthe Mitchell peo-
meaning the COURIER jump at
conclusions and do not always give
their readers properly seasoned food n
etc. This, because We asserted that
Senator Bennett and the TWO represen-
tatiyes Of Hughes county all voted la
the last legislature for the removal of
the State Fair from Yankton to Huron
AS Bro. Sturges wants the official ref
.erence, he is referred once more to
page $40 OF the House Journal where it
appears that Hughes county's two rep
resentatiyes both voted for removal or
the State Fair. A comparison Of the
Senate Journal of the day following
the vote and the indexed, permanent
copy Of the Senate Journal, shows d
false footing Ia the latter, the pur-
ported vote being seUen nay instead Of
six as given n the Journal and that
Senator Benefits vote has been chang
ed JtoDsyea % nay. Our point was that
Senator BENEFITS vote, somewhere be-
tween the issuing Of the daily journal
of Jan. Is, 1903, and the permanent. il.
dexed journal, was changed from YEA
g nay and that whoever did the job
neglected Y change The footing, this
leaving an apparent error Id the sum
mary Of this vote Il Is nov 10 to Bro.

1.-THE Elk Point COURIER makes the
following pertinent suggesti08:


Pierre is posting 81, 900 offer TO
anyone who will prove that the
purported Hughes county exhibit
at the Mitchell corn palace was not
raised in Hughes county. Mich
ell should now offer 5000 to any
one who can prove that the Mill
waukee railroad will not build an
extension west OF Chamberlain.
'sP ERE has never posted a dollar on
any proposition, and the extent Of her
bluff is an alleged offer of 81 200 to any
one who would prove that the exhibit
was not as represented. AS they adj
mitted that they bought fruit at The
Carney store in Yankton to 'dress up"
the display and that the vegetables
were from irrigated tracts, nobody paid
any attention to their ''holler.n The
writer has proof-and enough OF it TO
hang man-that fruit was sent from
the Black Hills for the Pierre exhibit
and truck from other counties, but It's
a pretty hard matter to ssprove" that
a particular ear of corn or particular
jar of wheat or particular apple grew
in a particular locality--just about as
difficult as it will be for the Pierre
fakirs to win $1,000 by proving that
the Milwaukee will not build an exten-
sion from Chamberlain. :" KsmbGll

How TO VOTE ON THE cApITAL Ques-

The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1904-04-08

We not believe for one moment
that removal Of the capital from
Pierre win be a reflection on the
real estate in the western part,
for the reason that the capital
was never put there in the first
place in order to build up the
country, and if it was it was an
injustice to other portions of the
state, but the geographical cen
ter was the hobby and the dollars
the influence that won out in the
contest. At this election both of
these factors will be eliminated
from the campaign. People have
tried geographical center for
fourteen years and it takes just
as long to reach the capital now
as then. What the people have
a right to demand is that the
capital be located within the area
of population and that will always
be 100 miles east of Pierre, for
the population growth of the Jim
river valley will keep pace with
any other portion of the state,
notwithstanding the efforts to
populate the reservation with
temporary Standardization
Republican.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1904-04-08

One OF the most shameless pro-
ceedings of the recent contests
in the republican primaries was
the wholesale voting OF demo
Gratis at these gatherings. 1t ap-
peared as if an organized attempt
was being made to carry the
primaries for the Bentley ab-
bitt faction with voters who have
never made any pretense of be.
ing republicans. AS there APP
pears to be no legal remedy for
this kind of procedure the soon
er q good primary system is
the better, and we sug-
gest that the system in vogue in
several of the counties of the
state be adopted for the nomina.
ton of county officers at the next
convention.
