AS A RAILROAD ATTORNEY


In March, 1897, Governor Crawford was about to move from
Pierre to the Black Hills: his goods were packed, when he received a
telegram to go into Chicago and meet the general counsel of the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company. He had rendered that
corporation most valuable service. When attorney general in 1887
IS a member of the State Board of Assessment and Equalization, he
had been kind to il. In fact the records will disclose that he only be-
came interested when the matter of railway assessments was before
the board and that then he was the one who moved in almost every in
stance for the Northwestern and left it to some other member to look
after the Others. The late Mr.. Sterling. whose memory is now black
ened by the insngent press. recognizing his services to the North
western, endorsed him for the position and he raj appointed Is its
counsel for the State with headquarters at Huron. lie accepted the
position and became its acknowledged representative in the legal and
political field, although in the latter he was aided by Messrs. johnson
and Hoover whose ability along the lines required "A supposed to
be equa to his. Before the State Board of Equalization, however. he

Governor Lee and Auditor MAYHEM as to who should get the record

other would raise him Crawford was not asking to have his employer

SOME FACTS CONCERNING THE RECORD
OF CRAWFORD As A LEGISLATOR,
ATTORNEY GENERAL AND
RAILROAD ATTORNEY.

ta opposed to the best interests Of the common people hs advent
~ il retofnter is Of comparatively recent date According to his own
aafrnaens he resigned n unholy job on r about April LIST, in the year
1904. and became a desirable citizen aud IN avowed candidate for Gov

tempting To secure an endorsement for that high Office and he risks
has fate upon his record rs governor.
In making out his case he puts mp the bar Of limitations. He dates
every thing from April 26th, 1897. He asks the people to keep that day
in mind and not t. go back to it; all before that is ont -lawed That
anniversary marks the beginning Of an era Of crookednes Whyi Mr..
Crawford complains that on that day a sefret compact was entered into
between Mark Hanna. Senator Kiuredge and A. G. johnson for the
control Of the federal patronage Of this state Before this Mr. Craw-
Ia Il was a member of the cabinet that controlled the same patronage.
lie says he thought he was still in for some considerable time sub

ate OF South Dakota he calls attention to those of 1899, 1901. 1903

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard of
this terrible disease? 1t prevails in
that far-away countrY-Africa- Es-
pecially the Congo district. It;is caus-
ed by the bite of the tsetse fly. When
it bites person, the sleeping symp-
toms begin and finally the sufferer
sleeps until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short Of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent it? Mr.. George Hayes, Of
Union City, Pa, writes: 81 had lost
my appetite, was all rundown, could
not sleep nights. | had tried every
thing without relief. Vinol was rec
commended, and to my surprise, II
helped me at once; gave me a splendid
appetite, and now / sleep soundly. f"
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes, il
will do for every rundown, nervous
and overworked person who cannot
sleep.
