Which do you want to vote for

party, but works for the party that
has the best platform. II you don't
think this true, write to that little
town called Spring Valley, ILL.,, and
ask his neighbors or anybody that
knows him and they will tell you that
all his deeds have been for the work
ingman. Ask any of the operators if,
in all his dealings with them, it was
not for the best interest of the miner.
Now l would like to ask the Republi-
can party why we, as workingmen,
should vote against his advice.
If the Republican party wants to be
a friend to the common people, why
did it not pass the initiative and re-
ferendum last winter when the Legis-
lature was in session. The upper
house was tie, and when the Republi-
cans saw that Mr.. Lamb, the Indepen-
dent senator, was going to vote with
the Democrats and pass the bill quite
few Republicans thought they
would crawl into the Democratic band
wagon, but they moved when 1t went
to that strong Republican lower house
where Mr.. Harris would crack that
monopoly whip and make them vote
against the bill that would have done
more good to the common people than
all other bills passed by the Legisla-
ture.
Lay your politics aside and study
the matter over, and see If you do
not think l am about right. If such
noble men as these two leaders would
have declared that the Republican
platform was the platform for me to
support, l would have been the surest
man in the world to do it.

The great regularity with which the
temperance forces are carrying on
the fight against the saloons in Ohio,
coupled with victory in every contest
SO far. save one, has caused the Per-
sonal Liberty League of Ohio to at
tempt to pledge every candidate for
the legislature to work for an excise
liquor law. 1t is proposed to establish
a commission in each county which
shall select locations for saloons,
choose orderly men to run them, and
fix the number to be allowed in each
county. A bond of at least $4,000 to
be given to the county which shall be
forfeited IN case any dealer is con-
Victed of violating the law.

will close his swing around the circle

ris opened it.
This is rather good idea, when
you come to think of it. When the

the blame on Harris and Harris can
lay it on Taft, while Bryan and Har-

BUILDER OF EMPIRE
Senator Gamble, South Dakota's Only
Senatorial Representative

Senator CANDLES bill opening the
River and Standing Rock
Indian reservations has passed the
senate. This opens practically three
million acres to settlement.
The bill carries an appropriation of
$415,0 600 for the payment of school
lands reserved for the state and $751;
900 for the appraisement, classified
ton, surveying and allotting of adj
ditional lands, the latter amount re-
imbursable from the funds of the
Indians, in all $40O.0 900. The tract is
about ninety miles long and about
forty miles wide, covering the western
portion of the present reservations
and a strip eighteen miles wide be-
tween the two reservations extending
east to the Missouri river. 1t is un-
derstood that Senator Kittredge tried
to check a report on this bill from the
committee on Indian affairs. and filed
his objections the day he last left for
South Dakota.

PRlMAR LAW STANDS

The supreme court rendered a decis-
ion relating to the primary election
law as follows:
The court upholds the primary el-
ection law in general, but holds as
illegal the provisions allowing county
committees to select delegates to CON
ventions.
Cuts out the fee provision, the arbi-
trary fixing of representation, replac-
ing that in the hands of party com
imttees.
Requires prohibition candidates to
file under the law and refuses the
mandamus asked.
Attorney Aubrey Lawrence. of the
firm Of Hall, Lawrence & Roddle. who
conducted the case for the prohibition
party, put up a good fight for his eli
ents and won practically all he antici-
pated he might, though he still con
tends there are other portions Of the
that will no doubt be modified.
1t is a good thing that these ques-
are raised in a kindly spirit as
is the only way to secure perfect
and eqitable laws.
