NOT A ROOSEVELT TYPE

Mr.. Crawford is not Roosevelt type
of man. Roosevelt seeks to make MS
actions conform to his preaching-he
practices what he breaches, standing
always for higher civic virtues In both
public and private life.
What will President Roosevelt, whose
Administration is conspicuous for pros
ecuting land grafters, think OF the
intelligence Of a people who support, a
man Of the Crawford type for public
object What will the whole country
think Of the morality Of the people OF
this state if they elect such man
after the facts connected with his car
eer are well knownf The country will
condone his election to the governor
ship because the people were not at
that time aware of the true situation.
Now, however, every vote cast for him
will be construed as an evidence OF
moral obtuseness.

EXAMINE THE PLAT

The electors should examine the plat
which shows the actual survey Of lands
fled upon by this one of ''good faith"
and by those he sought to aid. This
plat discloses a scheme as dark as hell
and yet as plain as day, scheme to
defraud the government of the United
States into whose senate chamber this
"good faith" homesteader is seeking

VIOLATION" SAYS
ATTORNEY GENERAL.

On June 5, 1906, the attorney gen.
eral Of the United States, under the
Roosevelt administration, made a final
report to the secretary Of the interior,
in which he said:
''These, cases appeared to present
fragrant violations Of the public land
laws, and the failure of the Govern
ment to secure indictments can only be
explained by the unusual political sit
uation in South Dakota and the strong
partisan feeling resulting therefrom. -
