Renewed Effort to Catch Votes for

For several days there has been
talk about Harry Hunters very
private declaration at the Mitchell
corn palace, that the Milwaukee
railway company will be throwing
dirt before election day, on the
grade for aH extension west from
Chamberlain.
IF such operations should begin
the people of South Dakota ought
to be too smart to be fooled by
them.
The voters should understand
perfectly we'll that railroad build
ing which might commence SO late
in the season, would not be under
taken as . matter of railway en-
terprise, but simply as . trap to
catch suckers.
To attempt any such scheme at
this late date, for the purpose Of
fooling voters, would be an insult
TO the intelligence Of the stateLas

Il would be likewise an insult to
intelligence for anyone to claim
that the Milwaukee company, or
any other, would really and actual-
Ily undertake such an extension
