Hon. j. M. Lawson of Aber.
deem, addressed republican rally
at this place Tuesday evening. Az
this was the first and may be the
only political speech made here
during the campaign the people
turned out in good numbers and
the seating capacity of the hall
was we'll filled. After a few pieces
played by the band on the street
the crowed assembled, and the
speaker was introduced by Maj.
Robert Dollard. In making his in
troductory remarks Mr.. Dollard
reviewed the political situation in
Bon Homme County; called atten-
tion to the fact that the whole pol
itical structure depends upon par
ty loyalty in the precinct, and
showed the disasters to party su-
premacy, both state and national,
that often result from personal
factional rivalries in the local pre-
cincts. Mr.. Lawson directed his
attention chiefly to national issues,
reviewed the proud record of the
administration begun by Pres. Nc
Kinley and continued by Pres.
Roosevelt; called attention to the
open, honest and positive declara-
tion made in Mr.. Roosevelt's letter
of acceptance, and contrasted them
with the halting, uncertain and
contradictory statements made by
his opponent, Mr.. Parker, in his
speech and letter of acceptance.
He appealed to Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
cord to prove that the charges that
he is "unsafe" are entirely ground
less, but showed that Mr.. Parker,
through his manifest indecision on
important issues, and his misrepre-
sentation of facts, inexcusable by
one in his position, show him to be
the "unsafe" candidate. Mr..
Lawson is an entertaining speak
or, and has a fund both of facts
and humor which enable him to
hold the interest of his audience.

The speech CT Judge Parker a

The speech CT Judge Parker
few days ago, in which he severe
ly criticised the present admins.
tration fer its Philippine policy is
answered by William E. Curtis in
the Chicago Record Herald in way
which shows that Mr.. Parker is eth
er guilty of gross ignorance, or of
misrepresentation, either of which
is a fatal defect in a person aspir-
ing to be president of the United
States. Parker says 1--WE have
wasted over $3.50, 100000 of the
peoples money and sacrificed over
100000 lives in the Philippines"
Mr.. Curtis gives an itemized state
ment showing that the total cost
to this government during the six
years that we have held the islands
does not exceed 1925, 100000. AL
so that the total death loss of
Americans in the Philippines DUR
ing the SIX years is 1856 officers and
4,769 men. During the last year
the death loss was only 2 officers
and 79 men. Mr.. Parker asserts
the islands are not self-supporting,
but Mr.. Curtis shows that they are
not only self-supporting but that
they are spending from three to
five million dollars yearly on pub
lie improvements, that they spent
a million and a quarter for an exhi-
bit at the st. Louis exposition, all
of which expenses are paid out Of
revenues of the islands and thai
taxes are fully IS per cent
lower than they were under the
Spanish rule. Parker says "the
islands remain to day utterly un.
touched for any good that the
United States might have done fol
them. Yet 1000 schools have
been established 100000 children
are in attendance; sanitary i'm
provements have been made which
have reduced the death rate fft.
per cent, and millions of none!
are being spent annually on pub
lie improvements. Mr.. Curtis
further shows that every governo
of every province, every mayor o
every town except Manila, and al
most every provincial and munici
pal official is a native Filipino
More than 5000 natives are on tn

The extracts from other news
papers relating to the capital con-
troversy, which we are publishing
nowadays, show quite conclusively
the drift of sentiment throughout
the State. Of course some papers
published in towns along the
Northwestern Railway favor Pierre,
as would be naturally expected !;
but elsewhere the press is nearly
unanimous for Mitchell. 1t is fair
to presume that in a case of this
character, where no politics or spe-
cial interests are involved, the
press reflects the feeling Of the peo-
pie. Everybody knows that fully
seventy-fve per cent of the people
of South Dakota are dissatisfied
with the present location of the
state capital. Of this percentage
of course some would prefer that it
be moved to Huron or Sioux Falls
or Redfeld or elsewhere or any
where, SO it were moved from its
present inaccessible location. But
Mitchell, under the legislative act,
is the only place to which we can
| remove it. If we allow it to re-
main at Pierre this time, the fight
| will have to be fought over again
and perhaps more than once
Place it at Mitchell, where it vii
be most convenient for Clay Coun'
ty people, where it cannot lnJure 6

location matter will be worth more
