CRAWFORD AGAINST IT IN 1889.

This sounds well II is catchy. But let us see what he thought
of such a measure in 1889 when he voted for the Northern raclhc.
HOUSE Bill, "a INTRODUCED BY AIKENS OF LlNCOLN,
PROVIDED FOR THE RECOVERY OF DOUBLE DAMAGES FOR
LOSS BY TIRE OCCASIONED BY TIE NEGLIGENCE or RAlI-
WAY COMPANIES IF NOT SETTLED FOR WITHIN SIXTY
DAYS FROM DATE OF DEMAND. AS we have said this same bill
was passed in 1907, &C. 215, Laws of 1907 1T PASSED The
|HOTSE. WENT TO THE COUNCIL AND WAS THERE MER-
|CLESSLY KILLED UPON THE MOTION OF COE CRAWFORD.
This would surprise honest people macqualnted with ms conduct
respecting the gross earnings law. WHY DOES HE SCOLD THE
OF 1899, 1901, 1903, AND 1905 FOR DOING
WHAT HE DID IN 1899? THEY WERE ENDORSING HIS CON
DUCT. WHY does he try to make capital of it? Why does he charge
it all to Senator Kttredge? Is he honest but forgettul, OF IS he a

IT IS A FELONY

Inc constitution Oh inc stdL0 Oi
South Dakota brands as a felony the
taking of interest on state funds for
private gain. Section III Of article XII
reads as follows
THE making of profit, directly or
Indirectly, out of state, county, city
or school district money. shall be
deemed a felony and shall be punish
ed as provided by law"
1t is maintained by some lawyers
that this provision of the constitution
is ~self-executing, but whether it is
or whether il Is not, the fact remains
that any state treasurer, or other
public officer, who derives profit. d.
rectly or indirectly, from state funds
is guilty OF an offense which has
caused many a public official to wear
stripes behind prison bars for a term
OF years.
Again and again 1t has been openly
charged by the state press and by
public speakers that the present
treasurer OF South Dakota Is reap
ing personal profit from state funds
that, under the subterfuge of a salary
" Nv as ~ VI "a
prominent banking institution, he is
violating the section Of the constitu-
ton above quoted.
1t has likewise been suggested that
q portion OF the mammoth campaign
fund which the Crawford forces are
expanding may have been secured
through the same channel, through
the c~onnivance of the insurgent lead
ers with the state treasurer.
To these repeated charges the state
treasurer has remained absolutely
silent; MOI have his friends or news
paper defenders ever denied the
charge, even by implication.
Although Governor Crawford has
been almost daily before the electors
of the state for months past as a
champion of his own political ambi-
tions, and Notwithstanding his atten-
ton must have been called to these
oft-stated charges, he has never ut
tered a word of denial, nor has he
sought to relieve the state treasurer
of the odium which attaches to his
name through this public criticism.
How honest men, seeking to uplift
the body polite, can wholly ignore
such serious accusations, n at the
same time support the accused for a
position which will enable him to con-
tinue to wax fat at public expense, is
beyond the comprehension of human
intellect.
It Is but a logical deduction that
men who are the beneficiaries of a
species of graft of this sort should
have nothing to say, as though it
were a mater Of no concern whatever
to the people.
Perhaps, however, the haste with
which Governor Crawford so vocifer-
tor Gamble, when the latter IA con
fronted with the charge Of petty
grating, and the subsequent discov-
cry of the need of a large pot OF
whitewash and a force of henchmen
to apply it in a conspicuous manner.
may have ~innoculated the governor
with the germ of extreme caution,
lest such a confession of guilt as re-
suited in the Gamble investigation
might lead to much more serious con-
sequences In the case under consid-
Grafton. for 1t Is no light matter to
confess to the commission Of an act,
not to mention o conviction thereof
before q court of competent j~urisdic-
ton, which the constitution plainly
denominates q felony.

The Emery Enterprise asks this
pertinent question: Does not the
state treasurer know that the interest
on state funds belongs to the peo-
ple?" Substantially the same query
has been propounded many a time
during the present campaign, but as
yet no one belonging to the Crawford
regime has undertaken TO answer it.

RAILROAD ~ATTORNEYsHIpS.

The governor looks upon Senator Kittredge s a dangerous man
because he has been a railroad attorney. Since when was it a crime to
represent a railway corporation in the legal Department. Crawford
will say, since April LIST, 1904. Why? Because On that day he parted
company with the Northwestern; on that day he TRANSFORMED the brass
collar into a halo and he has been wearing it just back of his regenerat-
ed head ever since; on that day his eloquent tongue dropped the PEN
dulum Of the corporation and has since wagged on the revival Of pohti-
cal purity. Like the Maid Of Orleans he heard voices and he salles
forth on a platform largely made up of measures he had opposed when
he had a vote that counted; he is willing to stand on the shaky thing
and trust to the forgetfulness of his fellow citizens.
That the voters may know the truth we will admit that in some
cases Senator Kittredge represented the Milwaukee road. When he
formed a co-partnership with Mr.. C. II. Winsor that gentleman was
the local representative of the company at Sioux Falls When Mr..
Winsor went to New York to live Mr.. Kittredge naturally succeeded
Ito the business. It was a position of no permanently: there was NO
salary no exclusive territory. He was paid for his services in the sane
manner as any ordinary client would pay his lawyer. HE WAS NOT
La LOBBYIST. HE WAS NOT A TAX.FIXER. HE GAVE our
NO PASSES. THE MOMENT HE BECAME A SENATOR He

WHY DID CRAWFORD OPPOSE 1T

Why did Crawford fight this bill both in 1889 and 1890? He was
an active champion then of the very forces he now condemns; he was
then striving to sustain the infant that has grown to such enormous
proportions that it's destruction is made the rallying cry of the friends
of Roosevelt, of Taft, of Bryan and of all the great reformerS. Among
those clean men today comes forth the tattooed man whom the trusts
relied upon at Bismarck and at Pierre and asks for higher civic honors.
Is he entitled to them? Should he be trusted? In deciding this, we
again ask you to resort to that best oracle of Neutrality-suspicious.. If
your farm hand of thirty put poison into the well from which your
live stock drank, would you hire him again when he was fifty years
of ages Would you ever reemplOy him. Could he convince you that
he was your friendf Would you not consider hs application an in
suit to your intelligence? Would you net think that he was sizing
You up as a simpleton?
Today, Crawford will. before the people. praise the Standard Oil
fine of 500 100000 while at Pierre and at Bismarck he was keeping just
such trusts and combines from being fined 100000. HERE is FOOD
