Mr.. Cassill's Popularity.

The following extracts from the
Harrisburg Journal of last week indi-
Gates just how popular Mr.. Cassill is
among those who know him best. AS
State Senator he won an enviable
record as fearless champion of the
rights of the people, and on the floor
of the senate he detied the corpora
tion combine that was practically
running the legislature. He will
make one of the best treasurer's the
state has ever had. Here is what
Bro Beck of the Harrisburg Journal
has to say: colbert jacobson was a
Harrisburg caller Monday, and shook
hands with Senator Cassill. The
Journal Office was so crowded with
Mr.. Cassill's friends at one time, that
the Office force had to give it up and
retire. c. II. Cassill, candidate
for State Treasurer, from this county
was Harrisburg visitor on Monday,
and his many friends rallied around
him here. He numbers them by his
acquaintances, and we don't see how
any one can help liking Mr.. Cassill
first time he sets eyes on him, genial,
whole souled, and open countenanced
and above all, man for the people.
The Journal hopes he will be our
next State Treasurer

Machine Must Face Responsibility
THE MACHINE BOSSES WITH CONTEMPT
GAMBLE OUT OF THE PARTY. -.

Martin had sold out friend who had
done so much to help him into prom
inence. a..
When the full significance of Gam
ble's betrayal was understood a storm
of protest came from every corner of
the state. Prominent citizens and
editors who were friendly to the or
ganization declared that such an in
famous deal and cold blooded betrayal
should not be consumated il every
man connected with it had to be
turned down and voted out of Office.
Then the storm broke and old time
leaders of the party from and before
statehood resolved that the bosses
must be taught lesson such as the
republicans of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Minnesota gave the bosses and
corporation managers.
The disgraceful edict Of that Aber-
deem meeting is responsible for the
present bitter party strife, and if in
the end the corporations are forced
to a square deal and their taxes
doubled they will at least know who
is responsible.
Every republican in the state knows
| who is responsible for the bitterness
and strife and the manner of bringing
it about. The republicans who love
| justice and square deal had nothing
to do with it, Gamble. Crawford
Hall, Rice, Mclaughlin Thorson,
Cassill, Ringsrud, Ericsson and Jolly
had nothing to do with the cowardly
action of that midnight meeting at
Aberdeen. Bentley, Sherwood, Ruth
Ustrud, Philips, Spangler, Mayhew
Pickler, Shober, Glass, Lockhart. FL
lott, Sutherland, Schamber, Snow
and Dollard never dreamed that AM
self appointed ring could be guilty ol
such political treachery. None OF

Hills who are opposed to the bose.

betray a friend as he did Senator
Gamble.
Now let those conspirators face thu

Senator George Rice.

Moody county will loyalty support
her honored citizen for r. r. Com
missioner, and the people OF Moody
county as well as the shippers all over
the state recognize the necessity Of
having railroad commission that is
not owned body and soul by the cor
porations George Rice is just the
man for that responsible position.
Here is what the Egan Express has
to say of Mr.. Rice:
In this issue of The Express will be
found an announcement of Hon. Geo.
Rice in which he states his candidacy
for Railroad Commissioner. He al
ligns himself with such republicans
as Roosevelt, La Toilette, and Cum
minis. He clearly defines his position
on the different issues that are before
the people. He is an old resident of
republican in all that the name inn
plies. He is a man Of sterling quail
tiles, with a bright intellect, being
one of the most able attorneys in the
state. His senatorial record of 1906
proves that he is man who will not
swerve from what, in his judgement,
he believes to be right. He places
principle above selfish interests. We
consider him to be safe man to tie
to, and If elected, will work for the
best interests of the people, the coun-
ty, and the state. We believe he will
be given the hearty support of the
voters OF Moody county.

further bow their necks to the politi-
cal accidents who by the grace Of the
corporations have been boosted into
power?
Why should any selfrespecting re-
publican longer submit to gang OF
men who care nothing for the welfare
of the people?
Why should any tax payer further
submit to eXtortiOn because the So
called party leaders are protecting
the corporations at the expense of the
men who have made our state pros
porous in spite of rates, rebates and
private car monopoly?
Let any honest man who believes
in a square deal ask himself why he
should longer submit to humiliation
through boss dictation: longer sub
nit to excessive taxation in order
that the corporations may escape pay
ing what they should?
Are not our taxes high enough?
Up in North Dakota, a corporation
and boss ridden state, the railroads
pay taxes on a rate of $207. per mile
while down here in our own fair state
the railroads pay S96. per mile, and
this is less than any state in the
union.
This is what our political boss sys-
tenn is doing for the South Dakota
tax payers, and we have men who tell
us the boss system should be continu-
ed in power. How these fellows must
love to be robbed.
The edict of the people has gone
out over the state; not another cent
for tribute but a, freeman's vote in
defense. ..
The responsibility for all the
trouble ahead lies with Messrs. Kit.
tredge, Burke and Martin.
They are responsible for the present
boss rule in the state.
They are responsible for the exces.
sive rate of taxes.
They are responsible for the defeat
of the primary petition.
They will be responsible for all the
bitterness that may arise in the COM
ing legislature and there is going ia
be lots of it.

Eight months ago everything indl-
Gated republican harmony and a solid
support of the President in his great
battle for the people. The people of
this state are loyal to the President
with the exception of those who are
under the influence and are employed
as political heelers by the corpora,
tiOnS. @-
Then change came. .
Three political bosses met in Aber,
deem on the 10Th day of last June in
the secrecy of a private room about
midnight. Nine others had been
notified to be present, not as bosses,
but to give their opinion concerning
matter that had been decided upon
in advance of the meeting. The three
bosses were Senator Kittredge and
Congressman Martin and Burke, and
the other nine included seven sub
bosses and two were men who pro-
tested against the political infamy
about to be nsumated-towit: The
political slaughter of Senator Gam.
BILE, because he had taken his stand
boldly and fearlessly with the Presi
dent on the rate question. Ex-Gov
ernor Herreid and State Senator
Branson of Mitchell protested in vain
and the political infamy was carried
out, and the decree was issued by the
three bosses that Senator Gamble was
to be read out of the party-the re
publican party Of South Dakota
which these three men thought the.
owned blind vanity!
Up to that fatal June night the re
publicans of South Dakota were unit
ed so far as the rank and file was con
cerned, though the rumblings of dis
content over corporation control O.
the state was manifest and uncon
cealed, but there was no sign of {
split among the men who do the yot
ing. They were in a measure salts
fed to endure in silence the high
handed dictation of the party bose.

days ago who the resident agent for
the Milwaukee company is. 1t trans
pireS that the man on whom service
can be made in an action against the
company is none other than United
States Senator A. B. Kittredge, who
was attorney for the company before
his promotion to the senate and it is
reported is still serving the big corpor-
! alton.
The fact was brought out here a

the laws of Wisconsin, but to show

being raised, papers were produced to
show that Senator A. B. Kittredge
was the resident agent.
Usually the fact that a corporation
has a resident agent in the state does
not arouse curiosity, but many here
are wondering just why the junior
senator, above all others should cling
to a position which might embarrass
his public service. The name of Kit
tredge in times past has been connect.

EARRING THE MACHINE.
Two years ago, Clay county's dele
cation to the state convention was
divided on the gubernatorial nomina-
tiOn. 1t was an even break fol, and
against the machine But even at
this early date it is apparent that
many who then favored the machine
bosses are now lined up the other
way, and the machine will have to
put in some hard licks here this
spring and summer to capture the
delegation.
Personally, z. w. Martin is popular
| with the republican voters of Clay
| county, but it does not necessarily
follow that because of this he will
have things his own way. The senti-
ment against prolonged and continued
bOssism is very strong, and many a
voter who would otherwise be in favor
of Martin as a successor to Gamble
will register caucus vote against
him because of the accepted belief
that the Black Hills congressman is
lined up with Senator Kittredge and
the machine. Time was when exit"
was the power behind the throne in
republican politics in Clay county,
but his power is on the wane, If pres
ent conditions are any criterion.

Papers filed in railroad case at
Vermillion reveals the fact that Sen
ator Kittredge did not resign his con-
nection with the Milwaukee railroad
when elected Senator, although his
active connection with any railroad
corporation since he became serv-
ant of the people has been stoutly
denied. This Vermillion exposure
comes at a time when his friends
were claiming him friendly to the
Presidents rate program, but it has
been generally believed that no man
can honestly serve two masters at the
same time. If he is with the rail
roads he is against the people and
the Presidents rate policy, however
much he may dodge or pair his vote.
He said he resigned all connection
as an attorney for the railroads
when he became senator, but it would
seem he did not do as he said he did.
This is most embarrassing for the
Senator at this time, and it will have
much to do with the defeat of the
machine of which he is the recognize
ed head.
The people will no longer remain in
doubt where to find Mr.. Kittredge or
where to place him in contest be-
tween the people and the corpora
tions. The people will no longer
count him friend of the Presidents
rate policy, and the farming and bus
mess interests of the state, who
thought him friendly, will no longer
palliate his double dealing.
They should now be more determin-
ed than ever to clean out the machine,
they know that their interests have
been bartered or abandoned in order
that the corporations may fatten up
on the industry of our honest hard
working people.

lion we found in last Fridays Mime

,AsTARDLY ASSAULT UPON A LITTLE GIRL
Joseph Coppage and Herman Campbell Ne.
groes Arrested and Taken TO Dover Jail.


Intense excitement prevails in this
section of the State over the arrest of
Joseph Coppage and Herman Campbell
young negroes. the former being
charged with attempting to assault
Lillian Boyles, the 4-year-old daughter
of W. ID. Boyles, fireman ofthe Smyrna
electric light plant, who preferred the
charge. The prisoners were taken to
Dover Friday night and citizens be-
came so incensed when they heard the
nature of the charge against them that
many threats of lynching were made.
To guard against possible violence
Magistrate Wood of Dover gave them
hearing in county Jail. Saturday
before being permitted to go into the
presence of the negroes Mr. Boyles
was searched, he having declared that
he would kill the negroes on sight. No
weapon being found in his possession,
they were allowed to enter the Jail,
and the hearing began before Magis-
trate Wood. Mrs. Boyles declared
that her husband was not armed.
Coppage, who is "a years old, aud
Campbell, who is a mere boy, when
brought face to face with the little girl
at the trial, denied all knowledge of
the crime Notwithstanding this
denial. DR.. J. S. Cobb, of Smyrna,
testified that the girl had beeu as
saultsd and seriously injured. Clifton

strengthened the States case by de-
clariug that he had seen Coppage in

home to the lighting plant, of which
their father is fireman, aud also oil
