PLAN OF HIS OWN
Manager DonneIly Advocates
Scheme for Keeping Three
Eye Salaries Down.
SALVATION FOR THE LEAGUE
Let Towns Draw for Players Each
Spring and President Pay the
Salaries Monthly.

Manager Frank Donnelly of Peoria
is ready to take his chances another
year with cheaper team. provided
all the cities in the Three Eye league
are placed on the same basis and he
has assurance this is the case. Frank
stated as much to representative of
The Argus last evening. He brought
his team to the city and spent the
night at the Harper house on fine way
to Dubuque. He said:
"The only way to save this league
another year is to hold down the sal
aries to a reasonable limit. There
isn't any doubt that every team is
over the limit this year. the salaries
ranging from $4,000 to $2,S0O month

cused of having a high priced team

in whom everybody has confidence
and one who will not be afraid to en-
force the rules. Then the names o.
all the players reserved should be pu
together at the beginning of the sea

selection of players for the differen

"Then | would have the league, in
stead of the different associations pay
the players, the list being sent to the
president monthly and the checks
sent out from his Office. Although

der the present system | am willing
to take my chances under such a
plan.''
Manager Donnelly says Peoria's
slump has been caused by the blow
ing up of the pitchers. AS to the race
for the pennant he now comedies his
team is out of it, but he feels thai

Some Snakes.

Knude Sorterberge, Stein Lars
guard and Christ Haga, of Canton, s..
d. arrived last week to visit Henry
Olson, at his home on Brady Greek.
On Friday, last week they took trip
to the Bad Lands, going by way of
Cham berlain Pass. When near the
railroad track south OF the pass, one
of the party who had never seen a rat
tier espied one coming out of hole
and got out to kill it. The snake
put up such a fight that the gentle
man came back and Mr.. Olson went
and killed the snake, about this time
snakes began appearing on all sides
and Mr.. Olson, with the assistance of
the others succeeded in killing about
fifty and they estimated that over
one hundred which they saw escaped.
This is a rattle snake visit which will
long be remembered by those Canton
gen ntlemen. Press.

The Congressional Ticket.

Sioux Falls Press: Why should the
candidacy of Eben w. Martin and
Charles H. Burke for congress appeal
to the republican voter who opposed
their nomination by the republicans!
In the first place, he cannot oppose
them without confessing that he
went into the primary in bad faith.
When he took part in the primary
that very action was equivalent tc
saying that he proposed to abide by
the result; that he had not come into
the party to leave it if he could not
rule it; that he had reasons for at
taching himself to the republicans
that if there we're differences of opin-
ion as to what the republican party
should stand for, he would stay in
the party till the question is fought
out.
In the second place, if any man
wishes to take part in the next re-
publican primary, he can not properly
do so if he has refused to abide by
the decisions of the voters this year.
Again, any man who votes for the
republican candidate for president,
meaning by that that he wants the
policies OF Roosevelt carried out as
Taft proposes, he should support re-
publican candidates for congress. A
democratic congress would tie the
hands of Taft, and create govern
men tai deadlock that would stop po-
litical progress.
In the fourth place, both Martin
and Burke have placed themselves
firmly on the republican state plat
form, framed by a convention
controlled by the wing Of the party
to which they did not belong. They
properly take the view that there
should be no more division in the
republican party until any future
time when il may be submitted to
the people to say whether the policy
of the party should be changed.
NO MEMBER OF THE REPUB-
LICAN PARTY CAN ASSUME
THAT MARTIN AND BURKE
WILL NOT REMAIN TRUE TO
THE REPUBLICAN STATE PLAT
FORM AND TO THE MEN WHO
FRAMED 1T.
Martin and Burke have the record
of conscientious men and no voter has
any reason for proceeding upon
the assumption that they will not act
in good faith.

Samuel IL. ElrOd a True Blue
Republican.

| Ex-Gov. Elrod, who always has been
consistent supporter of what are
known as the Stalwart republicans,
evidently is one of those who look up
on a primary as being the same as a
convention. and that it is the duty
of all members of a party to abide by
the result of the primary, as only by
doing this can party organizations be
maintained.
In the present campaign EX-Gov.
Erod has been making speeches in
behalf Of the entire republican ticket.
When asked by the writer if he was
going to support the republican tick
ct at the election on Nov. 3, he, over
his own signature, made the follow
ing sQuare-toe declarations:
"Yes, l am, and am unable to see
how any republ or any citizen
who voted for President Roosevelt
four years ago and believes in the
Roosevelt policies can fail to vote
for Secretary Taft.
Taft for president and Vessey for
governor should be on the banner of
every republican in this state; they
are worthy and able leaders.
eff the republicans in every pre-
cinct, county and state in this union
will stop long enough to pare con-
ditions since McKinley's election
with conditions during the last demo-
cratic administration, Secretary Taft
will be overwhelmingly elected.
"Trusting that every republican in
this state and in other states will do
his duty on election day. Yours truly,
s'S. H. ELROD.'

Es hopes for an old time republican
majority in the county. South Dako-
ia is a progressive young state, and
as Vessey said in his speech in the
court house last Saturday evening, no
state in the Union has brighter or
a more glorious future. Our people
must take no backward step. They are
proud of their state and should be
proud to vote for men who have the
endorsement Of all republicans.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1908-10-30

1t must be remembered that the
democratic vote of 1896 and 1900 rep
resented fusion an alliance between
populists, free silver republicans and
democrats, and the allies were led by
Pettigrew and Lee and many other
prominent republicans who were
striking at the railroad-boss system
that cursed the state then. Things
have changed. The republican party
OF the state is now free from bosses
and railroad domination and has the
confidence of the people.
The LEADER wants to be liberal
in it's estimate and allow for all rea-
sonable claims by the democrats, and
therefore estimates the republican
and democratic vote in round num-
bers as follows: Republican $1,000,
Democratic $4,000.
This increases the democratic vote
$4,000 over the Parker vote in 1904,
and cuts down the republican vote
cast for Roosevelt 1000. The LEADER
believes this estimate will not be far
out of the way II anything like full
vote is polled.

Save Your Brother by Voting for
County Option.

Ine liquor lnLeTeSuS are uOOulllk
the state with printed appeals tt
voters, stating that prohibition il
little short of crime and that sa
looms are a blessing to mankind
Nine tenths OF all criminal cases ir
this state originate through the oper
saloon, and the recent murders in
this state were the result of the open
saloon.
The whisky interests tell US that
the saloons pay into the state anC
city treasures something like three
hundred Thousand dollars a year
That is true, but who furnishes the
money?
This vast sum or even more comes
out of the pockets Of those, who as a
rule, can not afford to spend any
money for liquor This sum of money
spent in saloons represents human
misery and all degrees Of crime, and
yet. we are told that it is a sin to vote
for prohibition or for anything that
will aid the unfortunate in their
struggle for human happiness.
The distillers and brewers care
nothing for human life or happiness
in the home, their am bition is to sell
their stuff and degrade all who are
unfortunate enough to patronize
| them.
Anything from county option to
prohibition, anything that will re-
duce this enormous drain on the poe
kets of the unfortunate, should be re-
garded as one Of the greatest blessings
that could be conferred upon state
and the people thereof.
The liquor interests seem to be
proud of the fact that they pay great
sums of money for license, but they
say nothing about the human misery
that the license money brings into
thousands of homes every week, OF
the hungry women and children who
suffer because the money that should
buy them comfort. and peace is spent
in saloons.
Vote for County Option, vote for
anything that will help to save
others from ruin. .,
The man who drinks, as 4 rule,
when sober hates the saloon and it's
evil power, it's wide open temptation
and it's glittering debauchery. When
saloons are removed from village and
town, at least three quarters of the
temptation is gone. The open sa-
loon is the temptation that destroys
thousands of good resolutions and
drags a man before the bar where the
devil whispers in his ear, zone drink,
only one drink" and with one drink,
the fires of hell are lighted.
Vote for County Option.
1t may not be all that we would de-
sire, but no man can deny that in re-
moving temptation you are helping a
weak brother and perhapes saving
others from ruin.
Most every man knows the evil eff
fects Of liquor; no man can say that
any benefit comes to the human race
from it's use; then why should we
want to license these poison holes of
sin or refuse to sustain any moye-
ment that will remove this greatest
temptation.
If your brother is down, help him
to his feet, if your brother is in dan
ger try to save him. you can render
him no greater service than killing
the snake that blocks his path to
happiness and prosperity.

This is the last issue Of the LEADER
before election, and the LEADER
wants to see Judge Taft elected be-
cause it Is firm in the belief that the
election of Mr.. Bryan will bring
financial and commercial troubles
that would destroy prices for farm
products and paralyze commercial en-
terprise and give us second dose of
the hard times experienced under
Cleveland. Our democratic brethren
may not believe that the election of
Bryan would bring about such ca
lamity, neither did they when they
voted for Cleveland in 1892, but dem
ocratic tinkering with the tariff did
the work and most of us remember
the dire consequences Of the free
trade policy of the party. Have we
any reason to expect anything differ
ent under Mr.. Bryan when backed
and largely controlled by solid
south. He who thinks that Mr..
Bryan would continue the Roosevelt
policies or give to the nation the safe
and conservative policies outlined by
Judge Taft must be dreamer who
could only be convinced Of his error
by selling corn at Is cents and porksat
So. so and idle men everywhere. There
is no reason to expect anything but
calamity if Bryan should be elected.
No man wants to see the nation
other than progressive and prosper
Gus We know what republican poll
cies have done for US, but no man can
estimate what would follow the cleo
tion of Bryan. He has no settled pol
icy and If he should try to put in
practice some of the follies he has ad-
vocated if elected, and he certainly
would try, we could reasonably ex-
pect national calamity in compari-
son with which the hard times under
Cleveland would be but a pleasant
memory. Judge Taft is safe and con-
servative and has no untried follies
to experiment. with. He. stands
pledged to square deal and is there
fore entitled TO the vote Of every
lover of prosperity in the nation.
