The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1908-06-05

The Lead Daily Call publishes a
document which shows that Gov
ernor Crawford is still connected as
an attorney Of the North Western
railroad. In a case in the supreme
court at the April term the cover
nor's name appears as one Of the
attorneys In d case taken up by the
railroad, which is a bit denal o.ic on
his part when he is continually
throwing out the allegation that
Senator Kittredge is still the attor-
ney Of the Milwaukee road. 1t has
been the S all through the cam
paign that where he has made certain
criticisms of the senator that the
governor has appeared to a worse
disadvantage, In that his associa-
tions and his record has been shown
up in railroad matters to an extent
that 1t would have been better fol-

I getting quite a benefit. That is
about the only law Of a railroad
nature that the insurgents passed.
True the railroad assessment has
been made higher by the governor
and his administration, but when
1t is compared With the increase on
the farm lands of the state why the
farmers are paying the largest
amount of increase. The governor
in his campaign speeches was going
to make the railroads pay their
share of the taxes of the state, but
his heart weakened and he turned
the burden of increase over to the
farmers to pay. 1t may by a fair
and honest proposition, bat we
doubt if the farmer can see it that
way, particularly when he views his
tax receipt of 1907 and compare with
that of 1906. The fallacy of the
governors reform is shown plainly in
the tax RECEIPT. 1t would be a good
idea for the farmer to take his tax
receipt to the voting booth next
Tuesday and figure out when he is
voting just where he has been

Just one week from today will take
place the primary election for the
nomination Of a state and county
ticket. From all parts Of the state
comes the information that senator
Kittredge will be endorsed at the
polls for the position he now
occupies. The insurgents, so far as
the best information is concerned,
are falling of In their support Of
Governor Crawford. The governor
has been making so many charges
against other people and assuming
such a righteous role. that when the
limelight has been turned on his
past and present record 1t has not
been to his credit. He has been
mixed with the political game for
so long that he has been unable to
disconnect himself with about every
thing that be alleges is wrong in the
actions Of other POLITICAL leaders.
He promised many things 20 the
people, yet has failed to deliver the
goods In hardly any instance.
During his campaign for governor
Mr.. Crawford talked gliblY OF the
two-cent passenger fare for the state.
When the Legislature met the insur-
gents had full control of both
branches. but did they PASS the two

secure some of the government land
by employing young men to file ON 1T

declare that he is innocent of the

the land and he took the same action
IN his case as he did in that Of the
preacher, Rev. Mr.. Ware, out In the
BLACK Hills country and that
reverend gentleman is serving a term
In the p%enitentiary for his offence.
A similar Incident happened in the
case Of another individual living
near Belle .Fourche, who erected a
fence on some OF Uncle Sans land.
Yet he was prosecuted for 1T and was
made to pay the penalty. The gov
ernor is simply an individual when
1t comes to violating the laws OF
Uncle Sam, and that the fact that
he was a candidate for governor OF
the state was no particular reason
why it should be stated that was
being prosecuted. Senator Mitchell,
Notwithstanding his high official
position, was placed in an embar-
RAISING position. but the government
did not stop in its prosecution Of
him. 1t is true that when the case
was laid before the grand Jury at
Sioux Falls and Deadwood that no
bill vas found against him. How
ever, II the story of the inner
workings Of the jury roobI could be
disclosed it would lie found that the
friends of Governor era wford on that
jury would not listen to one ~scintilla
of evidence and that they Claimed
that Crawford IA being prosecuted
Instead OF prosecuted. The evidence
submitted was the same as that in
the printed at5advits of the young
men whom the governor hired to
take the land. There was no getting
away from the proposition other than
for the governors friends to sit back
doggedly In their chairs and abso-
lutely refuse to vote for an indict-
ment. and this is just exactly what
they did. Now the governor goes
about the state prating Of his honesty
In the matter and claiming that the
hireltngs Of President Roosevelt are
using their influence to defeat him.
But there are the facts In the printed
affidavit Of the governors own EN-.
ployes-young men whom he In
weighed into violating the land laws
CT the United States, and in the face
Of That he asks the people Of the
state to send him to the United
States senate. 1t Is tile most brazen
piece OF %etfrontery that a people Of
q state has aver Witnessed. Their
votes will be recorded against the
governor on Tuesday Of next week.

The Brookings Register makes
special mention Of the fact that Con-

secure IAN appropriation of $4,000

building in %Brookings, and then
thinking that 1T was not sufficient of
a rake off for the real estate owners
in that city he managed to get an
additional 80, 500 for the site pur-
chase. Real estate is evidently on
