1t is now asserted that Wall street
is behind Parker's candidacy for the
democratic nomination for the presi
dency, and should he be successful
before the st. Louis convention the
aggregation Of capital will spend a
mint of money to secure his election
in November. Wall street. can bank
rupt itself in support of Parker OF
any other democratic candidate and
it cannot defeat Roosevelt this year.
The people have spoken for Roose-
Welt before the convention this year
as they spoke for Mckinley in 1895,
and his election is just as certain as
election day comes in November,

bolt the convention. They can then
organize a party of their own and
we suggest as a name ''the boilers
party" As Pettigrew has had the
most experience in this line he is
entitled to the greatest considera-
ton hence the ticket would be:
"For president, Richard Franklin
Pettigrew, Of South Dakota. For
vice president, William Jennings

A LYING POSTAL CARD

But a vote for Mitchell for perma.
nent capital is TO keep takes as low
as possible. Should Pierre retain
the capital a large appropriation for
a new state house becomes necessary
at once that the records of the state
may not be longer in danger OF
destruction by fire. Mitchell has
erected a building of stone and steel
with fire proof vaults which will be
given the state free of all costs.
The above is taken from a postal
card that is being generally circu-
lated throughout this state. The
postal card is unsigned. We are
glad that it is unsigned. We are glad
to know that even among the sup
porters of Mitchell, who are making
so many false statements for the
benefit of their city in the capital
contest, not one could be found who
was willing to attach his name 10 the
card and father the barefaced lies
in the above paragraph.
Even the Mitchell capital campaign
committee, as brazen as ID is, refuses
to stand sponsor for this aggrega-
lion of falsehoods. What does the
think of a man or set of men
who will stab from behind, who will
attack a rival from ambushs What
ioes the voter think Of a city that
viii publish statements, regarding a
city in a campaign for capital
lonors, 90 base and so false that no
can be found who will stand
,ood for them?
Let us look at those propositions
rom an honest standpoint. In the
irst place regarding keeping taxes

ost OF moving county seats and
hose who have shared in the luxur-
es OF county seat fights 6gure that

million dollars. That viii make
he first reduction. The people of
1
south Dakota viii pay taxes 10 the
mount of a million dollars for the
AXE of booming Mitchell real estate.
That is reduction number one.
The new building at Mitchell dess
ot contain as much vault room as
he present state house at Pierre. liz

Iould be to build additional vaults.

Both prisoners were executed April

about the spot to hold back the public

The younger prisoner refused to al
