AS TO MlTCAELl'S CAMPAIGN
Chairman Bras Urges That All Bad
Feeling be Dropped and Pull
for Mitchell.
10 the C,,lzens Of Mitchell

To the Cltizens OF Mitchell:
believe 1T my duty 10 make a
statement TO YOU relative TO the am
pa!pn which has Just closed in the
defeat OF Mitchell for the state cap
ital. 1t Will be difficult to explain in
a very satisfactory manner Just why
Mitchell was not successful. can
say With positive assurance, support
ed by our workers III the field at:d by
the other members of the capital
committee. that up TO Sunday night
we had gained a positive victory,
but through d political trick by the
sending out of forged kilograms of
Milwaukee Officials and fy the use of
large amounts OF money and inter
state transportation over the North
western road, during Monday and
Tuesday. our victory was changed
into defeat.
We have conducted a clean, honest
can palen, largely educational in its
nature and have not a single act to be
ashamed Of. We have met our obli-
cations in full and have made no
| pledges that we are MOI able to keep.
Now | trust that the citizens Of
Mitchell will not be actuated by any
feelings OF revenge towards localities
that threw their strength for Pierre.
[ believe that we received the intel
ligent, honest vote Of the state and
while we may feel for a while as
thouh VIZ should wreak vengeance on a
few OF our neighboring cities, yet / do
not believe this is the way to build
up Mitchell. You must remember
that in each Of these cities we have
had some of the truest Of friends and
we should always keep them in mind
when we feel like rebuking our en-
emies. We should put our shoulder
to the wheel and push Mitchell for
ward.
The thought has occurred to me a
great many times during this CAM
paign that | have never heard an
expression among Mitchell citizens
that they were jealous of Yankton,
Sioux Falls, Aberdeen or any other
South Dakota city but how common
the expression was that these towns
we're jealous Of US. think we have
occupied a very enviable position and
let us keep it that way. We must
keep our corn palaces going and let
us pursue the same unseltish policy
as in the past. We have made thous-
ands OF friends during this campaign
and very few enemies and honestly
believe that this campaign, eXpen-
sive though it has been. will in the
end be worth all it cost. We have
increased our population. built a
magnificent hotel. which bad long
been needed, besides nutnerns costly
residences which has added to our
city.
Let US not now make the great
mistake IN the midst of our defeat.
of seeking revenge upon the cities
that have voted against us. If we
will take our defeat philosopbically.
it will command the admiration of
our enemies and we will receive the
Applause OF our friends.
Yours truly.

Not Been Dishouored.

Nermillion Repu blican: The peo-
pie OF the state on Tuesday decided
to allow Pierre to retain the seat Of
state government. They rendered
this verdict, after a prolonged and
thorough discussion. by a majority
OF from 10000 to $1,000. Since they
were to decide, we are Glad they
rendered their decision by a majority
so emphatic and decisive. Its
weight will settle the matter beyond
further cavil or controversy. We &C
cept the verdict without protest or
complaint, and with the understand
ing that it is final.
We congratulate the people OF
Pierre On the plucky and p%erseverlng
fight they put up for retaining the
capital. We fought them to finish,
but they outclassed US. They have
won a magnificent victory and they
are entitled to the fruits thereof
forever.
We congratulate the people OF
Mitchell. that, while they met with
defeat. they have not been dishon-
ored. There is no stain upon their
shields or blemish upon their ban
ners They conducted an honorable
campaign, notwithstanding the per-
idy Of pretended allies at the outset.

1t is now reported upon reliable
authority that Folk has made u
deal with the Butler element to
elect Jim Butler mayor in St. Louis
next spring. The clamor raised
BY the Folk papers against Butler
is only part of this scheme. By
being ostensibly opposed to the
Butler influence they hope to keep
the decent element of the party in
line for Folk and attract a few Re-
publican votes, while secretly
they are aware that Ed Butler has
given Folk the assurance of bis
support. There is every reason to
believe the truthfulness of this re-
port. If Folk could lay down to
the state machine without a protest
or dissent upon his part to make
his nomination for Governor safe,
it gives assurance also that he
would lay down to Butler to make
his election sure.

Locally, ordinary labor is de-

will vote to restore to power par
ty under whose rule the best pay
for their labor was only from Is
cents to a dollar day, and work
hard to get at even those figures.
Why should this class let political
prejudice blind it any longer to

Washington County Fruit at the
Worlds Fair.

AS visitor enters the main en-
trance of the Horticulture building
from the north, he is confronted at
once by Missouri's great fruit cx-
hibit, which is the best in the
building. 1t is surrounded by fine
architecture; has carpeted floors,
mirrors, tables and shelves. 4
collection of two thousand jars of
fruit of previous crops are on the
tables and shelves. Forty varieties
of apples are on exhibition, and
last but not least, on one of these
large mirror-tables you will find
Washington County's first fruit ex-
hibit, an exhibit which no county
would be ashamed Of. In fact, it
is the only county in the state yet
represented, and has the best and
largest collection Of 1904 apples in
the building.
This exhibit is the result of the
Washington County Agriculture
and Horticulture meeting in Potosi
on August 20, at which time few
of the horticulturists of the county
met and decided to make a county
exhibit at the Fair. At this meet
ing Mr.. w. H. Cook was appoint
ed collector and exhibitor of the
oounty's fruit, the first shipment
was made last week with the above
mentioned results.
The contributors to this exhibit
were; Mr.. Cook, peaches; VIM.
Rhiel, Capt. Richeson, H. Nc
Gregor, L. I. Hall and the Top
ozark Orchard Co., apples. Mr..
Cooks peaches were tie best in the
building. Eight of Capt. Richie
sons apples weighed as follows:
Three. IS or. each, three II OF.
each and two 16 OF. each.
With so able a man as MIR. Cook
to look after the packing and ship
ping of the fruit and all the citi-
zens of the county helping just a
little, Washington County should
make the best display of any ooun'
ty in the state this year. There
are enough good apples in the
the county to show what Washing
ton county can do as fruit pro-
dacing section. All apples are
Judged as soon as entered and re-
wards made later on. Each per
son gets credit for what he sends,
if it is five or more specimens. Lei
every person that has some nice
fruit help Mr.. Cook and the coun-
ty to make this exhibit the best at
the Fair. Respectfully,
