Republican State Platform.

The rebuplicans of South Dakota
renew faith in the fundamental prln-
cipleS Of the party as set forth IN Jne
last national platform, and GOngraUu-
late the people on the universal pros
perity that prevails throughout the
country. In the midst Of our prosper

formed to distrOy competition in the
various industries and m0nOp0llZe the
trade and commerce Of the country,
and new problems have come which
require the WiSeSt craftsmanship ana
purest integrity and patriotism for
their solution. In this emergency, dS
in those Of the past, the hand OF pre- y
idence is manifest. 1t gave us Wash
ingtOn and Lincoln to meet the great
problem Of their day, and it has given
our illustriOuS RoOaevelt who stands
at the head Of the nation as wise
and cournge0u champion of the rights
of a free people fighting the battle a
gainst special interests that seek TO
control the political affairs OF the
country. His administration has been
wise and fearless and commands the
universal respect OF the American peo-
pie regardless of party. We congratu-
late him upon his victory in securing
the passage by congress OF ihe recent
law for the regulation OF railroad gates,
and commend our senate and repre-
sentatives in congress for their sup
port OF this policy.
we steadfastly adhere to the republi-
can policy Of protection of American
industries but believe that tarrlff
rates should be modified from time TO
to time, to the changed conditions,
such notifications TO be made by the
freindS OF prot action and not by It's
enemies. For the benitit OF the Amer
lean home builder and the protection
of our forests. we favor the abolition
of all tariff on lumber.
we demand the enactment OF sta

free pass or free transportation over
any railroad within this state, or any

Push Ahead the Policies
That are Helping the
Country!

While not a presidential
year yet the enthusiasm for
the republican policies and
ticket should be as keen
this year as it was two years
ago. The state ticket ap-
peals strongly to the people
at this time. The candi-
date for governor and the
other nominees stand on a
platform that is pledged to
enact laws that the people
have wanted for years.
The county ticket is made
up Of men capable and hon
est who will serve the peo-
pie we'll.
The legislative ticket is
very strong and should COM
mand the votes of all parties
who want good healthy laws
enacted.

Miller HAND COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA OCT. 81 1905

for the last couple of years
rnd has formed a good ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Hum
iston. We have found him
a most excellent man. He
is honest and stands for the
best interests Of the people.
After proving up on his
homestead a few years ago
he was not satisfied with his
house for a future residence
and he built a larger and
better one. He has been
and will continue TO be one
of Hand county's most re-
spected and hnstling citi-
zens and taxpayers.
For Sheriff.
It would have been inn
possible to have selected a
man more competent for the
duties of sheriff than Henry
Erb. He is Of the stature
and temperament that go to
make an officer respected.
He is a farmer Of the south
part of the county and has a
wife and six children. His
election will give the family
a chance to rest up and so
to school while the county
will have a firstclass sheriff.
For Clerk OF Court.
This Office is now in the
hands of a good man, John
Costigan, who is a candi-
date for reelection. Mr..
CoStigan, has performed the
duties of the office satisfac-
torily and of course will
have no need Of fear of re-
election for another term.
He is d good citizen and has
a fine wife. They live in a
nice home in the north part
Of town where they have
put out a lot Of trees and
and made GOOD improve
ments Of benefit to the
town and county.
For States Attorney.
The candidate for this po-
sition has the ability and
energy TO perform the du-
ties Of this important Office
with distinction. That he
will do so there is no doubt
in our mind. The incentive
to attain to a still higher po-
sition is what leads a young
man to do his very best.
He has the ability to fill q
position at Washington and
in the future there is no rea-
sen why he may not sit at q
congressional desk in the
national capital.

ing rumors as to the condition of Sec
rotary of the Navy Charles J. Bona
parte, who is confined to his home in
this city, having been brought to the
attention of DR.. Thomas r. Brown, he
made the following statement:
Secretary Bonaparte's present in
disposition dates back to last Thurs
day, when he was at Atlantic City. The
attack was not sufficiently serious to
prevent his attending to business, but
showed indications of being of a
ptomaine nature. The attack on Mon
day was acute and Mr.. Bonaparte suf-
fered considerable pain. At no time
has the condition of the secretary
been considered dangerous and now he
is distinctly stronger and is. suffering
much less pain. The ailment from
which Secretary Bonaparte is suffering
is acute indigestion and nothing
more.''
