Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1908-10-15

just remember, this man Anderson
is the republican candidate for
states attorney and is the same man
whom the Reporter and Farmer has
always commended was absolutely
unreliable We have heretofore
printed his record as an attorney
and showed conclusively by the
record that as states attorney before
he was miserable failure and we
cannot help but believe that it was
the fear that the attorney general
would permit MIN to try this case
in the circuit court and at the time
set September 2l-that prompted
him to get the continuance, for he
believed that the outcome of the
case would be but another added to
his long list of failures in this
county.
The World as preface to the
court order last week printed the
following:
The following copy of an order
filed by Judge Mccoy in the office
OF the clerk Of courts for Day county
proves that the r Il F has been led
by it's Incorporate zeal into a false
position and shows how Improbable
1T is for a newspaper to undertake
to try a case out of court when in
the due course of time the regular
administration of justice can gener-
ally be depended upon to protect
the rights of all concerned.
We are going to be fair with our
readers in this as in all other mat
tiers in which we take hand and we
print all of the correspondence
between the attorney general and
Sears Il Potter relative to this case
and also the afiidavits asking for a
hearing to set the fraudulent order
asitie and for an immediate trial of
this case, we then ask Editor
Solomon il he has not been led by
Editor Anderson's Incorporate zeal
into a false position. OF course
Bronson can clear his skirts by say
ing he did not know it was loaded
and that he implicitly believed
Anderson, but Bronson will not do
that, he will invent some other sub.
terfuge and try to clear both him
self and Anderson, but here are the
records read them and Judge for
yourself:

Gentlemen:
Writing you in reference to the
case OF State vs.. Lumber company, !
desire to know whether you gentle
men will oppose an application for
continuance OF this case over the
term if we find it necessary to make
such application? Your term begins
on the l4th of this month. This is
the date set for our state convention
at Mitchell and l desire very much |
to attend. Further, the Kaufman
case Is set for oral argument at
Pierre on the 10th day of July. On
the 10Th OF July / have matter
with Mr.. Dougherty here at Red.
field before Judge Whiting in refer.
ence to the enforcement OF an order
made by the board of railroad CON-
missioners to establish passenger
service between Watertown and
Huron. You can see from this that |
il will be almost impossible for me to |
try the case at Webster at least dur
ing the first week of the term. I'll
the case is not likely to be reached
until the latter part of the month it |
may not be necessary for me to apply
for q continuance. Or, it may be
possible that you will find it neces-
sary to have an adjourned term OF
court during the summer. If this is
true, and il would suit you gentle
men, | would be pleased to have the
trial Of the case deferred until that
time.
Kindly advise me as to these mat
tiers by return mail and greatly
oblige,
Yours Very Truly,
s. w. Clark,
Attorney General.

ancc, and that is that this case can
