When the constitution of this state
was framed the office OF clerk of
courts was purposely left out of the
tune limit owing TO the fact that the
duties of that official are such as to
require not only honesty but c
acy as well to enable him to conduct
the affairs of the Office properly and
1t was the evident intention that when
an o1tlcial had learned his duties and
performed them satisfactorily he
should remain in Office indefinitely.
Not only the court business is placed
IN his care, but as we'll the custody
or properly belonging to orphans and
the settlement Of their estates. It
requires honesty, prudence and bust

present clerk of courts has faithfully
conducted the affairs Of his Office for
several years. He is universally liked,
is honest and it would be difficult to
ma another as well fitted for the
place. The fact that The opposition

that he ought to be retained in office.

the trouble was. She was extremely
nervous; the least little thing would
upset her; her tongue was coated, and
AT times she would have a good APP
petite, then again could not bear the
sight of food; she was restless at
night, had a bad breath, especially
when she got up Of mornings. We
tried everything to relieve her, but
met with no success. We were just
on the point of giving up trying any
thing else, when we began to read Of
Cooper's New Discovery. Several days
ago we purchased this medicine. Jes-
sic has been using it regularly, and
this morning this parasite left her
system. / don't wonder that she has
always felt bad, and nothing we would
give her seemed to relieve her. Now
that she is relieved of this tap,worm

each day, and enjoy perfect health.
Mr.. Cooper, your medicine is worth a
thousand times more than you charge
for 1t. | know of a number of people
troubled the same way as Jessie has
been. and | certainly expect to tell
them personally to try your medicine"
We would advise anyone who has
been troubled for some time with gen.
eral poor health to try this great med
icine. We are agent for it in this city.

Undertaking

Let every Progressive Republican
secure a list Of the names Of candi-
dates on the Progressive Republican
ticket and take the list to the booth
with you when you vote. There are
many men to vote for and your men,
DRY may fail you unless you are very
familiar with each name. There will
be no way of distinguishing the Pro
gressive from the "stalwart" candi-
dates as they could be heretofore.
The voter must make a cross at the
left of every name on both the state
and county tickets and it will be
very difficult for anyone to remember
all the names of persons for whom
they wish to vote. If you cannot pro-
Ire a list in any other way cut the
entire ticket out of this paper and
carry it with you when you mark your
ballot.

and is a firm believer in Progressive
Republicanism, the opposition would
have made no attempt to bring out
a candidate against Mr.. Youngburg.
The Register disapproves of turning
a trustworthy official, whose long ser
yitude IS reason enough for his re-
tention in Office, out of his position
in order to make a place for Joe Muir
ply to remain in the court house as
a deputy which he will do if Mr..
I~oungburg is not nominated.

act of his since January 1906 has con
tirmed general belief that to return
him to the senate would be detrimental
to the state and nation. On the other
hand COe /. Crawford has won the adj
miration of those who have CLOSELY
watched his work and ,4e result of
introducing principles which he has
for more than four years advocated.
The battle of words has now ended and
it is up to the voter to decided whether
they prefer to have railroads and
trusts to rule the nation or whether
the people, who are the bone and sinew
OF the government, shall dictate the
manner Of conducting affairs. If YOU
vote for A. b. Kittredge you are vot,
ing against your own interest, and in
opposition to the fundamental princi-
pies of a republic. Lay aside personal
prejudice created by petty spite and
vote for the candidates who Epve been
fighting for your interest and the in.
terest of the whole people. We feel
safe in the result and that the Pro.
gressive Republicans will win a glori-
GUS victory.

STAlWARTS ARE BEATEN

1t has been somewhat amusing to
the Register to read and hear the
Dragging that has been done by the
kittredgeiteS. when about two months
ago, while Mr.. Kittredge was on his
way to Brookings to tell how he held
up Bristol, he acknowledged to his
friend, DR.. Spafford of Flandreau, that
he knew he was beaten. The Register
has this first hand from a man who
sat near the twain when Doc said to
Kit well old boy ] am sorry but you
are beaten right now" Yes" said
Kit, Il know it, but | must fight it
out
{. A, May of the Minneapolis Trib-
une, who is in the Hills in the inter
est of his paper, and who has been
for the last three months travelling
in the state of South Dakota. gave
his views OF the political situation
Monday.
Il have been all over the district
east OF the river, making the trip
from Aberdeen down to Yankton and
back by different routes three times
and cannot understand how the stal
warts have the nerve to claim that
they have even a chance. Kittredge
Will be beaten by over ten thousand
majority. Why, there is nothing to it.
In the cities the two factions are
somewhat evenly divided. but in the
country the farmers vote is almost
Solidly progressive, and the stalwarts
have no advantage whatever in the
fight in the cities. The stalwarts
will carry Brown county. That is the
only place in the state where they are
sure to win out as far as | know.
There is a great deal of stalwart
strength here, but the longer | stay
in the Hills the more | find an under.
current of progressive feeling. 1t
IS all one way across the river. The
most liberal estimate that can s
sibly be made is that Kittredge will
carry ten counties and even that will
be far, very far from electing him"

as senator enabled him to secure Park

the nick of time. Senator Burrows,
OF Michigan, who greatly to Kit,
redge surprise, appeared as Parker's
friend, insisted on his reinstatement
and the matter was mpromis by
sending Parker TO the Pierre district.
II question now presents itself. why
did k~lttredge take such a determined
stand against Parker's reinstatement
at chamberlain. unless he wished to for
stall any further investigation of Kauf-
mans alleged misdeed? Ii could not
have be on account Of Parker's incom-
potency or inattention to duty, that
he stoutly insisted on keeping .Ilm out
OF the Chamberlain district. He raised
no objections of his being sent to the
Pierre district adjoining and this
change was satisfactory to Burrows
and the matter was dropped. The his

IN having been too Jealous in the

w. NJ. Cheever acting III the capa
city Of states attorney recommended
that the board of county commission
ers pay John Alton a back salary of
S4OO, he also recommended that the
commissioners raise Joe Murphy S sal.
airy to 1900 per year. The board acted
upon the recommendation and we be-
lieye that the courts will sustain the
county in its contention that the action
OF the board and the recommendation
of the then acting states attorney was
unlawful and unwarranted. The
scheme is apparent, if possible, to elect
W. VI. Cheever TO the office of states
attorney. He is now acting as attor.
ny for both Alton and Murphy against
the county. If elected states attorney,
to be consistent, he would drop the
cases now in the courts, the county
would be out the $500 already paid
Mr.. Alton, and as we'll $1,000 for in
rease of salary to County Auditor
Murphy. Will the property holders
vote in favor of placing in office
men who advise and uphold the ex
travagant expenditure of public funds,
thus increasing taxation or will they
sustain the action of the present states
attorney, Mr.. Eden, who, working as
a faithful servant of the people, is
seeking to prevent disappointing
public funds?
