In other words, ii matters not
a all who do it, how they did
it. or when they did it, so long
as it was done, it must have
been the stalwarts. To inquire
into the history of the measure
is wholly unnecessary. 1t was
an unwise act, and u%npalatable
to the citizens Of South Dakota.
This is proof sufficient, to the
American and its mugwump
following, that it was the work
of the wicked stalwarts. This
is the normal attitude of South
Dakota's great reformers. That
it is without reason or judgment
does not affect, seemingly, the
power it has to fool a consider
able number of otherwise in
telligent citizens.
