Corn Growers conventiOm.

At the solicitation of numerous corn
growers In different parts of the state,
| have concluded to call meeting at
Mitchell, 8. D., on September 28th, at
4 o'clock P. M, for the purpose of
organizing an annual corn show and
corn growers convention for the State
OF South Dakota. All growers of corn
are cordially invited to be present aud
assist in the organization of al associa-
tion, which, l believe, will do more
good to the state than any other organ
ization that could be formed at this
time. The details of the organization
and the corn show will be worked out
by those present.
The Commercial Club OF Mitchell
has agreed to put uu, In cups and cash
$500. 90 annually for three years, to be
competed for at the show to be held by
the association. In addition to this
we expect to be able to procure large
number of premiums in the way OF corn
ihplckuSubs Us lrOLu uldu uuIhCbur6FSs ana 20
present a premium list, which list is
not excelled by any Other state In the
Union.
There Is no doubt but what South
Dakota Is father behind her possibilities
in the production of corn than along
any other line and we hope by the or
ganizstion of this association to create
more interest In this line OF South
Dakota farming.
The date selected for the meeting is
during the Corn Palace week, when
there will be very cheap excursion
rates from ali points and special trains
from large portion of territory trlbu,
tary to Mitchell.
We hope for a large attendance at
this time.
Respectfully.

Mr., Bryan when asked regarding his
opinion as to the chances for a demo.

fact that the chances of democratic

they must improve. --Huronite.

Don't Like "Foikism."

"Folkism" has been set upon by the
opposition press with more than ordi-
nary vigor. 1t appears that Cover
nor Folk is making good his prom
Uses of reform entirely too fast to suit
his enemies. The enforcement OF
laws governing Sunday observance is
gaining the Governor friends among
the more respectable elements both
in the large cities and in the country
districts to such an extent that those
who oppose Gov. Folk see that some
thing must be done to stay the tide
which is keeping him far above the
adverse waves.
The cid question does not both
the smaller cities or the country towns
to any alarming extent as the cid"
has been on years before Gov. Folk
became our chief executive. But the
sacriligious elements Of the big cities,
who care little for law or the Sabbath
and who have heretofore defied public
sentiment and have ignored the laws
Of our great state simply because they
derived their greatest dividends by
keeping their business under a full
head of steam on Sundays, will be
found lined up against what they term
.'Folkism," and they will be backed
by wealth which has been accumu-
lated through the same cannels, while
certain politicians will sneakingly lend
aid in order to kill the reforms which
they see taking deep root.
Governor Folk cannot reform every
evil extant in the state, but by the
help OF respectable people, he can
and will place Missouri on n vastly
higher plane. Let the enemy howl,
if he will. but the average citizen
sees clearly that ''Folkism' is aus
ing reformation that will not down.
A reformation that does not degrade
but elevates.

The DEMOCRAT, as will be seen, is
now in the hands of n. F. Tillman,
one OF the former proprietors. We
are going it alone. as it were, and it
will ever be the uppermost thought in
our mind to give the people OF this
territory a good, readable paper, one
that seeks to build up every business,
manufacturing and industrial feature
OF worthy nature in which our peo-
pie may be interested. The Demo-
GRATIS political views are well known,
hence there is no reason for rehears-
ing them. We ask support to the
extent that we merit. The Office is
equipped with every facility for turn
ing out commercial printing and we
claim to do fi~rst-class work. All we
ask is fair and just treatment at the
hands Of a generous public, and the
patronage given us will surely be app
preciated.
