About the worst measure, and
the one most likely to affect the
moral standing of the people of
the state that has been passed
for years was the bill passed at
the last sess ion submitting the
capital removal question to the
people of the state, and that was
introduced and forced upon the
people by the Mitchell crowd.
who are now devoutly engaged
in moral reform. The entire
session was controlled by the
capital removal influence. Every
bill passed was passed with a
promise on the capital removal

vote that it will never rise in the
history Of the State. Vote for
the capital to remain at Pierre
and you will settle it-Water
town Times.

would come from every increas-
ing radius and the town gain a

and not altogether the men liv-
ing within a certain number Of
miles from it that make a good
town.
