w. A. BRYAN
Has a Heart-TaIk with the
Democrats Of the 25th
District.
He Gives Il Concise Synopsis of His
Platform OF Practical Legislation.

W. \. Bryan offers his services as
State Senator from the 25th district
Washington and Calhoun counties
He Will not accept this trust as agent
of any special interest, but will fairly
and faithfully represent each and
every legitimate interest. He will
protect the people against the greed
of public service corporations. He
stands for liberal pensions for all
worthy Confederate soldiers and
their widows. Believes that good
roads can be built in the State, and
has a plan for building them. 1t
lakes money to build good roads and
it can be raised without interfering
with other interests or laying great
burdens of taxation upon the people
either. i franchise tax on railroads
that have been built by State land
grants, a portion of the convict hire,
and a small graduated vehicle tax
will dc the work.

The Political Campaign.

As the political campaign advances,
the support Of the leading candidate
for the Presidential nomination in
each party continues TO increase in
strength. For the Republican Con
ventiOn IA delegates have been Sc
lected out of a total membership of
$50. OF this number $50 are known
to favor Secretary Taft, IS Senator
Knox, 56 Governor Hughes, 46 Speak
or Cannon, 81 Nice-President Fair
banks, % Senator La Toilette, while
100 are uncOmmitted. Secretary Taft
has the support of over IS per cent of
the delegates so far elected, and with
in 1872 of the number Of votes neces-
sary for his nomination on the first
ballot. The contest, as itn0w stands.
resolves itself into Mr. Taft against
the "faVorite sons" each of whom
has the support of practically no
delegates except those from his own
State, and in one or two cases not all
IF those. The Nevada and New
Hampshire Conventions Iastwe de-
clined to indorse Mr.. Taft, while not
expressing preference for any one
else, but North Carolina, Colorado,
Tennessee, and West Virginia in
structed their delegations for him.
and Maine adopted a resolution of
preference. The Pennsy lyania State
Convention indoraed Senator Knox
and instructed the delegates at iarge
to vote for him, praised Mr.. Roose-
velt's administration, and adopted a
strong protectionist resolution, which
admitted, however, rather reluctant
ly, the need of some revision. Mis-
sissippis delegation is uninstructed.
and some delegates are said to favor
Mr.. Foraker. In the Democratic
party there are fewer favorite sons.

Wesley AND THE SALOONS.

Senator Vessey is a temperance
man. He is not a third party prohibi-
ZIONIST, nor a man with only II idea.
He Is not q crank. He Is a broad
minded and a fair-minded man
An attempt is being made in some
quarters to make common of
the campaign for the governorship
and the county option campaign.
County option will be voted on at the
November election as a non partisan
question.
A republican can use his own judg-
ment and vote for it or against it
without in the slightest degree affect
ing his party relations. 1t should be
submitted squarely on its merits.
Senator Vessey is the republican
candidate for governor. He is an
enthusiastic believer In that great
party. The majority Of the republicans
in the primaries on June 9th selected
him as the party candidate for govern
or. Republicans are going to Loyalty
support him. We hear rumors that
men engaged in the sale Of intoxicat-
ing liquors have banded together to
defeat him because he is a temper
ance man. If this be true, so much
the worse for the saloon keepers.
They will earn to their sorrow that
the people of South Dakota have not
vet decided to turn over the selection
of a governor to the vendors Of whis-
key.
Many liberal men who favor license
and take a drink occasionally, will
not hesitate IA moment to sit down
hard upon a scheme Of saloon men to
dictate the selection of a governor.
Saloon men will do well for them
selves to confne their efforts to the
defeat of county option and let the
campaign for governor severely alone.
II they want to borrow trouble and
be driven out of business entirely, just
let them try to dictate the selection
of a governor.-Huron Journal-W World
Spirit.

r. z. REBMAN TO LEAVE.

F. f. Rebman, who has been mana
ger of the city telephone plant the past
three years and a half, will sever his
connection with that institution on
September Is. Mr.. Rebman came to
Bookings at a time when the telephone
system was in a poor shape and the
present excellent service is a marked
tribute to his ability. He has entirely
recognized The system, greatly In
creased the number OF patrons, and to-
dav we think that B%rookings has one
of the best plants in the Northwest.
Mr.. Rebman feels very grateful to the
telephone patrons, who he says are
the incest class of people he ever as
sociated with, and he also wishes to
thank the old and new city councils.
Mr.. Rebman, when he completes his
work here will go on the road for
the Interstate Telephone Co., OF Sioux
City, Iowa.

FAREWELL RECEPTION.

The members of the Baptist church
and congregation gave a farewell re-
ception for Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. Fl. Reeves
at the home of Mrs. Geo. Morehouse
Friday evening. The large crowd pres
ent to bid Mr.. and Mrs. Reeves fare
we'll testified to the esteem in which
they are held by their n~eighbors and
friends. Prof. Christensen's orchestra
gave a number of selections, and Miss
Alvira Johnson sang two solos In a
pleasing manner Light refreshments
were served.
On Saturday afternoon a jolly crowd
of Mrs. Reeves lady friends and neigh
bors, who call themselves the Hobo
Club" walked in upon her as a sur
prise and enjoyed a pleasant afternoon.
They brought their lunch with them,
which shows they are not "hoboes'
in the true sense of the word. Before
departing they presented Mrs. Reeves
with a beautiful souvenir spoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reeves and sons ex-
pect to leave one week from Monday
for their new home at Santa Ana, Cal.
Santa Ana is an important town in
southern California, about 90 miles
south of Los Angeles.

illegal combinations, and punishment
of the offenders.
