The state convention at Sioux
Falls seated the regular delegation
from Grant and Roberts counties
just the same way that the judicial
convention held in this citydid. The
con testants were first turned down
by their neighbors in Brown, Day
and Marshall counties and then by
the state at large which is conclusive
proof to all fair minded people that
their grounds for contest were with
out foundation. The manly thing
for them to do now is to get into the
harness and support the ticket,
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1904-05-12

The ticket nominated by the
republican stale convention at Sioux
Falls last Wednesday is the best
ever put before the people Of this
state and is worthy and will receive
the support of every true republi-
can and a great many of those who
formerly allied themselves with the
democratic and poPulist parties in
this state. Our people are all pros
porous and happy and are enjoying
a reign of plenty which banishes all
feeling Of unrest and desire for

No business transacted by the
republican state convention at Sioux
Falls last week gave the Reporter
and Farmer greater pleasure than
the endorsement given by that body
to the present members OF the
supreme court in the nomination OF
each and every member by acclama-
ton to succeed himself. Judge Digh-
ton Corson has been a member of the
supreme bench ever since statehood.
Judge Howard G.. Fuller was
appointed by Governor Sheldon as a
member upon the death of Judge
Bennett. Judge Dick Haney was
appointed to his position by Gov
ernor Sheldon when A. G.. Kellam
forfeited the respect of decent peo-
pie and was forced to resign. The
people have placed their stamp OF
approval upon the wise and learned
decisions of the court by giving
Judge Corson two reflections and
Judges Fuller and Haney each one.
The courts of this state are out of
politics and when the votes are
counted after the November election
it will be found that the people have
said: when looking for judges,
always get the best, and when you
have secured the best, keep them
for all time" The United States
appoints judges for life, the people
of South Dakota cannot do this but
they can keep them for life.

The season of tramps is at hand.
There is no reason for any person to
be without employment in South

knocks at your door looking for a

authorities. The meal given the
average tramp is a prize given for
idleness.

There have been several people
interested in the large commission
firms in the eastern cities in Web
ster and Day county in the past few
weeks. We had the pleasure of
talking to one of these gentlemen
the other evening and he said: do
you know in all my travels through
out your state / have not found a
county which has done SO much in
the last few years to improve its
class Of stock as your county right
here. I was out today and | saw a
class of bulls of all breeds as good
as can be raised. Our firm handles
horses also, and l want to tell you
that l went around and looked over
the company horses and those owned
by private parties in this county and
they are certainly fine.c II will he
but a very few years before your
farmers will be getting the reward
.they deserve for putting money in
this kind of stock. Cattle and horses
are like everything else. There il
always a demand for the best. Five

breeding will return with ample
interest in the calf or colt raised

comments from people who make a

The republican ticket for Day

scheme of having the merchants bear
this expense. To be sure they have
their stocks of goods and these are
somewhat protected from dust, but
tn csc stocks must all pay their taxes
and in so doing they also pay for
the convenience of having the streets
wet on dusty days. qae City OF

South Dakota is profting by the
experience of the older states. 1t is
a very noticeable fact that the states
which have the greatest pull in con-
gress and are best looked after when
the good things Of the nation are
being passed around are the states
that when once they secure the ser
vices of a good man to represent
them in congress adhere to the rule
of keeping him there. Among all
the members of congress from the
new states that we're admitted to the
union at the same time South Dakota
was, there are no congressman who
attract SO much attention and who
have such a good reputation for
doing things and getting their own
state recognized and seeing that she
gets her just deserts and that the
interests of her people are looked
after as Congressman Burke and
Martin of our own state of South
Dakota. The republican party has
shown its appreciation of their
efforts by giving them a unanimous
denomination and the people of the
state will in November endorse their
approval almost in the same major
ity. One noticeable feature in this
connection is that the members of
the democratic congressional com
mittee in Washington who are igur-
ing where they can make sufficient
gains to control the next congress
never mention this state as doubtful
ground.

We are informed that there will
not be as much building in Waubay
this year as was at first anticipated
because the fire ordinance demand
that new buildings shall be con-
structed either of brick, stone or
cement. Tie ordinance is a wise
one. The city a better afford to
wait awhile for the replacement of
the buildings consumed by the
recent fire than to have them recon
structed of wood and not fire proof,
The town is properly situated in the
heart of a good farming community
and is bound to grow. New build
ings must be erected to handle the
increasing business which is bound
to come as sure as the years are to
roll by. Those in authority can
well afford to keep their present
determination and insist that none
but the best building material be
used. The rebuilding of the town
may be delayed a year or so but the
time will fly so rapidly that the
delay will not be noticed and the
good fire proof buildings thus
secured will more than pay for the
inconvenience of waiting. We glory
in the judgment of the Waubay peo-
ple.
