Parkinson Disgusts All.
This elder began at once TO catechize
tho old woman. putting her through a
sweat that would have made Bowery
detective turn green with envy. The elder
asked many questions to prove whether

Lydia Pmkhams Vegetable Compound Womans
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-04-27

Another important city election
which is said to have elected an sin
surgentn mayor by a majority OF Two
to one, is that Of Lead, Black Hills.
This is important In that Lead is
located in that section of the state
supposed to be dominated by Con-
gresham Martin in the interest of
the Kittredge machine. Martin Is
one of the machine conspirators to
defeat Senator Gamble for the simple
reason that his home at Yankton Is
supposed to be too near the home Of
the ''silent man. to insure long ten
ure of Office for the latter.
The silent man." however, is
tricky, and with the signs of success
full insurgency" in the air his we'll
groomed form approaching the insur-
gent ranks need not occasion surprise.
This would be in keeping with his
conduct in connection with the presi-
dents railroad rate bill. This mea-
sure at the present time, however, is
deathly sick In the senate and upon
its demise, which is more than pro-
bable, the sssilent man. will gleefully
dance a heavyweight jig on it's ema-
ciated corpse.

Anti-Machine Victories.

The Dell Rapids Tribune speaking
of the recent election in that city, in
PRODUCES the subject with a brief ref
erence to the Sioux Falls election.
Dell Rapids is the second largest town
in Minnehaha county, and with Sioux
Falls insurgent it looks a little dark
for Kit and his boys. The Tribune
says:
The machine and anti-machine fight
entered largely into the city election
contest at Sioux Falls and the result
is regarded as a signal victory for the
insurgents. The city election contest
in Dell Rapids Tuesday was also to
some extent along the same lines.
The leaders OF the faction opposing
Mayor Bowles for reelection assume
to be the local representatives OF the
machine, and they endeavored to cor
raj votes OH the machine and anti
machine issue. It is the general opin.
ion that the results in Sioux Falls and
Dell Rapids are against the machine
and that they pretend an insurgent
victory in Minnehaha county In the
election of delegates to the county
convention.

Cuthbert Feels Bad.

Fred Cuthbert is getting a little
crustty He didn't like the Leaders
remarks about his challenging o OF
the most respectable citizens Of the
first ward during the caucuses In The
mayorality contest. The Leader re-
peats the assertion that it was q bit
OF the dirtiest political work aver
witnessed in Canton, and no mar
who knew the challenged parties
would presume for a moment that
they didn't know the political and
moral responsibility which called
them to the caucus. 1t was a con-
temptible insult never to be forgotten
by those gentlemen or their friends.
The gentlemen challenged were Pres
ident Tuve of Augustana College,
Prof. Nordgaard OF Augustana College
Hon. G. B. Kennedy and a Civil War
veteran Simon Haw. President Tuve
has never taken a prominent part In
politics, as becomes his position, Y
any man in Canton knows that ne
knew the requirements necessary In q
republican caucus. The other three
have been life long republicans MI.
Haw being a republican when he en-
tered the army during the Civil War.
Judge Kennedy was a populist lead
er, but always a Lincoln republican,
while Prof. Nordgaard never voted
anything but a republican ticket.
These are the gentleman Cuthbert
insulted, and Cuthbert is the machine
cuckoo In Lincoln county and thinks
he Is running for attorney general.
He tells us he was guarding the
purity Of the ballot box. Please don't
laugh.
In the face Of this purity statement
an Englishman was pa~turalized the
day OF the caucus, who was a resident
of Sioux Falls, and voted by Cuthbert
and his crowd. This is rather severe
on Cuthbert's purity platform, but
we all know Cuthbert.
