Tuesday will hang heavily upon his
side.
For the past ten years, during the
time Mr.. Kittredge controlled the leg
islatures, the railroads in this state
failed to pay taxes on their depots and
terminal property. Crawford has been
at the head of the state for less than
two years and the railroads pay taxes on
ALL their property. This one act
means the saving of over 100000
to the tax payers of Hughes county,
and over $22l,00O to the tax payers of
the entire state. The RAILROADS are now
paying nearer their share of taxes. And
because Governor Crawford forced
them to do so the railroads are attempt.
ing to defeat him, through the efforts
of hirelings who are to be rewarded.
Conditions during the past eight years
and those of the past two years is all
the evidence needed to direct electors
in this matter.
Vote against Crawford and you vote
to put the state again in the hands of
hungry politicians.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Go 70 the Polls Tuesday.

5.
BY securing the enactment OF the pri.
mary election Law, Governor Crawford
has made the vote Of any one man in
ssnth Dakota just as good as the vote
of any other man in the state.
Under the old delegate system the
minority in each county had no voice.
For example, the progressive republic
cans in Brown county, if they could
not slect their delegates to the state
convention, would have nothing to say
about the result.
7. But under the primary, a vote in
Brown county for Crawford counts as
much for him as one in Yankton coun-
#ty;avote for Crawford in Minnehaha
counts just as much as one in Law
renee.
In other words, Crawford will be nom
mated for the United States senate If
he receives majority Of all the repub-
lican votes cast in the state.
Now that Governor Crawford has
given to each voter full voice in the
selection Of state or United States rep
resentatives, every voter should show
his appreciation by going to the polls
and marking his ballot.
Vote next Tuesday.
It makes no difference whether you
vote for Crawford or Kittredge.

doors remember the anxiety of those
days and nights Of almost sleepiess
vigil? Has the dread of impending ca
lamity that was universally felt, and
that hung over every community
throughout the nation, like a pail, been
forgotten? Is it forgotten that every
bank in the country from Maine to
California and from the Straits of Flu
ca to Florida was tied up and that all
refused to pay those depositors the
money that was those depositors very
own, placed in those banks for safe
keeping and not for loss?
But, above all and beyond all. I'M

that all this terror, all this loss to de-
positors, all this strangulation of
business, all these months of dismal
days and sleepless nights for $4,000, 900

that it would cause reckless banking
