The Republican Campaign Committee
OF POTTER COUNTY
has leased this page and the editorial matter con-
tanned therein is furnished by them.

This page is edited by the
Republican Campaign Committee
of Potter county, S. d., who are
responsible for it's contents.
In taking up this work the
committee are actuated by no
personal motives whatever. We
shall labor for no particular candi-
date, but for the success of the
whole ticket. We shall labor to
unite the party in this county and
bring together every discordant
element. These differences have
caused defeat in the past, and the
opposition are trying to bring
about the slime conditions again.
We shall avoid all personalities
and shall state nothing we do not
know to be absolutely true. We
haye no grievances against any
man or set of men, but shall en-.
deavor to present, in a clear and
intelligent form, the reasons on
which we appeal to the people.

excellent judgment. You could
not find in this county a more ideal
candidate for the office. She has
not been to see you. She is busy
at her work. and is too loyal to
leave it if it can be avoided. Don't
forget-a good teacher makes a
good Superintendent.
Heron is not simply running
he's flying.
Carr, Carr,-our Carr don't
make any mistake. Get on to the
right Carr. The other one is run
ming under the orders of Il strange
dispatcher and is liable to be
wrecked.
Sam Howard. Did you ever
hear of him! The youngest old
man in the county. He can jump
higher, dive deeper, and come out
dryer than any man and will be
elected by an overwhelming ma
jority.
S. p. Hurley-our candidate for
sheriff. The odds are against him,
but he may pull through. He has
beer a good sheriff, equal to any,
and as the Democratic opposition
placed no one against him,
further comment is unnecessary.
Get into line. Don't be a kick
er. Life is too short for private
revenge. Don't make the election
booth a clearing house for petty
spite.

We are constrained, much against
our will, to speak of the relations
of Mr.. Hoover to this canvass.
So much fog has been raised ev-
cry campaign about this matter
that we are determined to lay the
whole facts before you.
Mr.. Hoover did not make our
ticket. He claims no influence
over any man ON the ticket; he is
simply a worker in the ranks with
the rest of us. We regret to be
obliged to drag him in here, but
the opposition have been persistent
in calling him a dangerous man
and trying by this means to drag
the party down, that we purpose
to show that this talk, like their
campaign, is a scheme to deceive
the voters. They have told this
story SO often that they seem to
bellows i tJUST BEFORE ELEC-
TION. How does the account
stand!
We call on the anti corporation
representative to show where he
ever voted against d railroad bill.
What bill did he advocate that the
railroads opposed? How is it that
he is such a good friend Of Mr..
Hoover at all times except just be-
fore election, when he holds him
before the people as a dangerous
man's
If he is such a dangerous man"
why did Gross ask him to help Sc
cure him d place on the lnvestigat-
ing Committee, also on the Appro-
priations Committee of the last
session. He acknowledged that
Hoover helped to secure both these
places for him before the entire
Sioux Falls delegation 10 the state
convention. Why did he accept
'Hoover's assistance In his candida
for national dglegateg Hoover
gave him a list of democrats to
write to in the state, and he sub
mitted his letters to Hoover for
approval before sending them out.
Ask dny delegate or spectator at
the Sioux Falls convention if they
thought Hoover was a dangerous
man to Gross interests. He &C.
cepted transportation for himself
and wife to Chicago on his way to
st. Louis.
Whitlock not d residents He
voted in Forest City 20 years ago;
if he lives will vote there This
fall. He owls d section of land
near Forest City and is also inter-
ested in q store at Evarts, in which
Mr. Dean is part owner and present
manager. His esteemed opponent
had an interest, and we think still
has, in some business in Faulkton.
Is he a resident of Faux county?

"'AAO1A W. PPOu w UtlC pCOk1ics
The Republicans of Potter coun-
ty in mass convention nominated u
county ticket, and without a single
exception no nominee made an ac-
tive CANVASS for the nomination.
They were selected by the conven-
ton free from all combinations by
any man or set of men, and being
SO Nominated they are certainly en-
titled to the united and hearty sup
port of every man who believes in
the principles of the Republican
party.
The policy of the opposition this
year is to create divisions and dis
sensions in our party. We sub
init to the electors of the county
that the ticket; us i whole and in
dividually, is at least the equal of
the opposition nominees, and we
see no reason whatever why a sin
gle republican should scratch the
ticket this year. 1t will be our
policy to labor necessarily for the
election of every nominee.
We know that the fight is to be
made upon the Legislative ticket,
and that every effort is to be made
to defeat our nominees. No other
candidates have ever been men,
by the opposition papers.
In the past two campaigns the OPP
position built up an elaborate ro-
nance, charging that our nominees
would be under the influence of
the railroad lobby and would vote
against the interests Of the people.
In the excitement of a canvass
such things seem to receive more
belief. You all know TODAY
that the charge that Mr.. MSacham
could be improperly influenced by
any man on earth on any PROPOSE.
was absolutely and malicious
ly false, yet Gross made his cam
four years. fgb on that issue.
He is making this one on. the same
issue. We propose this time that
he shall fight in the open.
Your candidate for Representa-
tive has known you all since you
came to this county, and you know
or not any lobby, STAN
dard Oil, insurance or railroad can
bring any influence on him or not.
The fact that he is 1 banker has

We believe we catl convince the
voters of Potter County that the
Standard Oil Company is not SO
unfriendly to him as he would
like to have you believe.
Gross claims that he is the friend
and protector of the poor man.
The first bill he ever introduced
was a bill cutting down the home
stead exemptions to $780, 90, and
personal property from $780, 90 to
$4,000. He introduced this bill
at both sessions OF the legislature
Of which he was a member. We
have the bills and anyone who
wishes can see them at any time.
One man said he could not
conseientiously vote for one
nominee because he was 4 Hopper.
Did you ever count the fioppers
on the Democratic ticket. Here
they are-Gross, School, Carr,
Provine and Rinderneck.
They say that the Republican
Legislative nominees, if elected.
will endeavor to have d law passed
increasing the rate Of interest.
We don't believe it, for they cer-
tainly are not fools. Every in
telligent man knows that such o
proposition Would not receive
any support III any legislative body
in this state: It IL all buncomb,
intended to scare the people and.
catch votes. No such proposition
was ever thought Of. The only
change that will ever be made in
the interest rate in this state will
he to reduce it, and that will come
here, as it has in all other states,
as the county develops.
Strange, isn't it, that Gross
should be the only man that can be
trusted to represent the people Of
this county at Pierre.
