REASONS WIZ
Never before in the history OF Pennington County has the
outlook for a prosperous future been m - promising. That the
western country and the east as we'll ae demanding the pro-
ducts of our country is evident from the mad race for first en-
trance to Rapid City, by two great railroads. More people are
coming to the county daily. Attracted by the rich virgin lands,
by the industries Of Rapid City and the precious metals IN the
Hills beyond, hundreds of new settlers are thronglng to this,
the new promised land.
And what has this to do With Republeanism2
1t would indeed be a near sighted man who could not
see that a great measure of this increasing population and there
by increasing prosperity is due to a Republican administration.
Was it not a Republican administration that passed the Home
stead laws, thus making thousands of homes IN Pennington
county possible? We ask again if 1t We're not a Republican ad,
ministration that passed the Forest Reserve Ho@a2se~3 Bil?
What greater blessing than this could have come to the ranch
ers of the Forest Reserves Did not many of those same old set
log home they had learned to love so we'll, weep for pure JOY
when word was flashed over the wire from Washington that
those vine clad roofs We're to be their own.
And more has been done.
No state or country can long enjoy a wholesome life
while it is crushed down beneatha weight of debt. Realizing
ibis the state and county administration have labored long and
industrously to lift this gigantic and crushing mass. Their &c
short months now South Dakota will hold her head high above
the debt line; The people of Rapid City and Pennington
have to turn backward 50 very farm their family almanacs to
find the time when county warrants went begging at s. cents
on the dollar. But it is different now, Pennington county script
lis a good seller at SO and 81 cents. And this has come about
With Rapid City and the entire county politics
IS A o LD FLOODED BUSINESS PROPOSITION WITH
US.
Here is Rapid City we are fortunate enough to have several
federal institutions. We are benefited by them and what is a
help to the county seat is a help to the entire county. The School
Of Mines is a state institution. 1T NEEDS STATE HELP.
No later than the present term Of school several students re-
turned to their homes because they were unable to secure suit
able quarters. Therefore the most eminent need is a dormatory.
There must be a new dormatory at the School of Mines and that
in the near future.
And who is to procure these needed improvements?
A democratic legislators Well not unless state legs-
latures nave all greatly changed. Our state legislature is sure to
be overwhelmingly Republican. Does any sensible voter think
for one moment that i'm the face of Such OnDOStiOn a democratic
senator or representative could get an appropriations?
Then there is the Indian School. Senator Gamble has always
been friendly to us and will continue to use his efforts in behalf
Of our school if we send men to Pierre who will support him.
Therefore we say it. is a business proposition. The Legislature
will be Republican, Senator Gamble will be elected therefore it
behooves us to fall in line.
Vote the Republican ticket and you vote for the interests Of
your town and your county. Vote the democratic ticket and
you send men to Pierre who will be unable to help the town or
county. Every Hills man and every valley man should beinter-
ested in our School Of Mines. Let them show their interest by
their ballots. Votes will be the eloquent orators at the coming
election.
