The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1908-10-23

The state, congressional and coun-
ity ticket to be voted on by the re-
publicans at the election two weeks
from next Tuesday is one that can
be supported %cheerfully and hearll-
ly for the excellency of the candi-
dates placed thereon. Messrs Mar
tin and Burke, the congressional
candidates are men tried and not
found wanting in the public service,
and their records are exceptionally
good. Beginning with Robert S.
Wesley as the candidate for governor
and going down through the ticket
every candidate appeals to the voter
as worthy of his support. Mr.. Yes
sey is being madesthe target for the
democrats and through other In
1uences they hope to defeat him.
Mr.. Wesley is being assailed by the
opposing interests because he hap
pens to nave opinions with reference
to the temperance reform, and on
that ground he is being attacked
with the hope of defeat. If the in
%terests carry out their design they
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1908-10-23

put an end to forward passes and
conditions. Within a few minutes
after the beginning of the game it
commenced to rain and on Yankton's
clay field end runs and open field
work was impossible and Yankton,
with a team outweighing Mitchell
ten pounds to the man, smashed
through for two touchdowns during
the first ha1f. Mitchell scored nee
when Sheeks made the spectacular
play of the game and tore tnrougu
Yankton-s line for a gain Of over
twenty yards and a touchdown. The
fierce wind rendered it impossible to
kick goal.
AT the beginning of the second
half the teams exchanged goals but
wind had veered around and Mitch
ell had to play again with the wind
in her face. The second half was
uneventful, Yankton's heavy line
and backs making their downs and
scoring twice. With absolutely moth
ing their favor Dakota Wesleyan
fought for every inch until the ref
erees whistle put an end to the game.
On a fair field and under good
weather condlllons the boys would
not hesitate to say what the result
would be. AS it is, they are abiding
patiently for a chance to avenge
themselves on the teams to be played
in the remainder of the schedule.
Coach Whittemore, of Vermillion
head linesman yesterday, expressed
the belief that under ever conditions
the score made would have been re-
versed.
The officials of the game were

the people can hardly be fooled

the people cal hardly be fooled by
such transparent tricks"
Doesn't that sound just like the
Bryan of 1896? Mr.. Bryan takes
the small panic of a year ago as a
very strong asset for democratic sue
cess, and he hopes to see it continue
and that it might be the means of
landing him in the presidential chair.
1T is such an unfair statement for
him to make that one feels like
blushing for the effrontery of the
gentleman. From every corner of
the country the cheering in
formation that since the effects of
the panic have worn off business is
resuming it's normal conditions.
Railroads are putting their men
back to work to handle the great
crops of the west and to haul the
shipments of wholesale houses, of
the steel mills output and to help
along the of trade that are
teeming with business. This Mr..
Bryan calls "a transparent trick"
Transparency fits well-that is in
Bryan's case. The transparency of
his statements are SO apparent that
the people are not taking the same
stock in his talk today hat they did
twelve years ago. Then they were
troubled with the feverish unrest of
wondering what was to become of
the country, of how they we're going
to come out in the battle for eXis-
tence. But it has been solved and
there is no denying the fact that the
people are in very comfortable finan-
cial conditions and are not worrying
half so much about their money mat
tiers as Mr.. Bryan is about his get
ting to the white house.

Reference is made to the business

Lee was governor during a period
when times were the hardest that
this country had seen in a good many
years, and the watchword was re-
trenchment. Notwithstanding the
fact that the state institutions were
in absolute need of money their ap-
preparations were cut down to the
very limit of economy and when Mr..
Lee stepped out of office there was
a. very serious condition to greet the
incoming republican officials. AS an
illustration of Mr.. Lees economical
qualities money was appropriated to
purchase the coal for the insane asy-
lum and other institutions. Tie gov
ernor thought the appropriation for
coal was altogether too high and he
had his populist legislature cut it
down. The result was that the
dl1OullL was MOI SulIlC1SuI 10 Duy the
coal for the institutions, and the risk
had to be run of the inmates being
permitted to go through a very UNI
comfortable experience. When Mr..
Lee saw the predicament he furnish
ed the money out of his own pocket
to buy more coal and the next legis-
lative session reimbursed him for the
outlay of money. Since those years
the number of state institutions have
increased, and consequent expenses
of conducting them have increased,
for the reason that everything in
price has grown larger. We believe
in economy of course but not to the
point where it becomes ~burdensome
and eventually increases the expense
as a shown in the case Of Mr.. Lee.
Robert S. Vessey, the republican nom
inee for governor, has had the bust
ness experience necessary to bring
to the position the intelligence and
judgment required to properly con-
duct the business of the state. There
is no thought among the republicans
but what MI. Wesley will give the
people an administration which will
meet with approval.
