The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1904-06-30

Mr., President and Gentlemen of the
Convention: We are here TO tnaugurate
a campaign which seems already 10 be
nearly closed. So wisely have the people
sowed and watched and tended, there
seems little now to do but 10 measur up
the grain. They are ranging themselves
not for battle but for harvest, In one
column reaching from the MAtne woods
TO the PIge Sound are those reople and
those states which have stood So long
together, that when great emergencies
arise the alton turns instinCtiveiy to
them. In this column, vast and solid, is
a majority so overwhelming that the scat
tered squads in opposition car hardly
raise another army. The enemy has
neither guns nor ammunition, and IL they
mad they would use them on each other.
| Destitute of the weapons Of effective war
fare, the only Evidence of approaching
battle is in the tone and number Of their
bulletins. There is discOrd among the
generals; disCord among the soldiers.
Each would tight IN his own way. but be-
fore assaulting his republican adyersaries
he would first destroy his own comrades
In the adjoining tents. Each believes the
chosen by the other are not
only wicked but fatal 10 the holder, That
Is true. This is the only war OF modern
times where the boomerang has been sub
st!tuted for the gun Whatever fatalities
may occur. however. among the dtscord-
