The Mitchell Capital
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1907.
THE ME- TOO

Last week the insurgent press was
heaping all kinds OF praise on Senator
Gamble for the interest he displayed
In Introducing two bills in the senate
Tor the relief of the llomesteaders
In South Dakota. After the bills
had been published i'm the Congress
1Onal Record there seemed a familiar
ity about them which lead to an
investigation and it was discovered
that they we're technically the same
bills that Senator Kittredge had
introduced, In the first case five days
before and in the Second instance
seven days previous to The brilliant
Thought of Senator Gamble. The
Yankton senator, as long as he can
not get in on the ground floor him
self to do something for tie benefit
of his constituents, thought that he
would be able to steal a little of the
thunder Of Senator Kittredge. 1t
looks like the junior senator has got
TO take the lead for the senior
senator In doing things for this state,
and yet the insurgents attempt to
draw a comparison between the two
senators from South Dakota. And
now they want to send another
reform senator down there to help
out Senator Gamble i'm the person
of Governor Crawford. 1t is pre-
sumed that Mr.. Crawford is about
on the same mental plane as Senator
and with two reform senators in
Washington, South Dakota would be
dragging along in the rear of tie
procession, and finally be lost sight
of in the race. Senator Gamble
has quite a reputation in Washington
for wearing fine clothes and making
q good appearance, but it seems
that when it comes down to a matter
of hard work. the people have to look
to Senator Kittredge for their aid
and assistance. Below we print the
two bills that we're introduced first
by Senator Kittredge and those
introduced later by Senator Gamble,
just to show..hard the reform senator
works:
