While other servants Of the state,
elected and drawing salaries to attend

He has not been the representative

the whole state and the whole people.
His ability is beyond question and his
pronounced devotion to duty should
receive proper recognition on June

JUsTlFIEs OUR CONFIDENCE
Every Act Renews the Trust Reposed
in Our Member of Congress

When the Hon. Philo Hall was first
mentioned for Congress over two
years ago, many of the papers in the
state came forward with words OF
commentator of his candidacy. One
OF the leading journals gave utterance
to its support in the following Ian
guage:
Hon. Philo Hall, at present attor-
ney general, has decided to allow his
friends to present his name before the
people of this state for congress. Mr..
Hall is we'll known in this county,
and we'll know throughout the state
as an able lawyer and faithful official.
He has made a record as attarney-
general which will prove a valuable
asset in a congressional campaign.
The people remember the right he
made against the attempt of the Stand
ard Oil Co, to put down h bars
in this state against their inferior
grades of oil; the fight he made to
maintain our just insurance laws
against the attack of the i~nsurarce
combine, and last, but not least, that
he went on record as opposed to the
violation of the state constitution by
the machine. This record, together
with the fact that he believes pure
politics. proper regulation OF railroad
rates as outlined by the president, and
Justice to the people instead of faVorlt
ism to the corporations, will insure
him the support of all liberal and hon
est republicans

mon people and will finally prevail.
The question for the voters Of South
Dakota to determine it: Shall those
policies stop at the state line? Shall
we thrust our necks into the same old
railroad boss yoke, from which we
freed ourselves two years ago.. A
vote for Kittredge is a vote to return
to the old condition Of bondage to the
railroad and political boss. "A vote
for Crawford is a vote to continue the
good work already begun, Of insuring
our people "equaI rights to all and
special privilege to none."

Der of Congress

Phlo Hall, born at Wilton, Waseca County, Mimi, December 81,
1865. Married at Brookings, April, 1890. Wife and two children

1906, on the Republican ticket by a plurality of about 5000 votes.
Mr.. Hall is now serving his first term in Congress and is a
candidate for reelection. AS member of that body he has made
an enviable record. His speech in favor of removing the tariff from
lumber, wood pulp, and for the protection of our resources attracted
wide attention. He received the hatterng endorsement of President
Roosevelt, Mr.. Hall has made good.

taken and that the Republicans were
split. Geo. A. Mathews Of Brookings
If we remember correctly blamed A.
b. Kittredge for defeating him in his
aspirations at that time by holding a
portion of the republican vote for G..
c.. Moody of Deadwood who declared
that when he withdrew for the field
it would be impossible to elect a Re-
publican. Finally the opposition to
Kittredge's candidate Senator Moody
united on Kyle (democrat) and Mr..
Mathews went down with the other
aspirants.

characteristic of the manufacturing
that he has a duty to perform he has
always performed that duty and left
it optional with the people to decide
as to the merit or dement, of the
work he had performed. In this in
stance he has received the hearty
approval of his constituents as we be.
lieve will be amply demonstrated by
the rousing majority which will be
given him at the polls on the 9th day
of June.
He has remained at Washington
attending to business while Senator
Kittredge has been at home trying to
make the people believe that he is
a better man than they believe him to
be, and that they ought to retain him in
office, not for what he has done, but
because he promises to do better next
time.

in the principles of the republican
party. 1t is the greatest political
party the world has eyer seen. 1t
came into existence over fifty years
ago for the purpose Of giving their
liberty to four million slaves, and OF
saving our great republic from being
divided into two hostile nations. It's
first great leader a Abraham Lin
coin, the greatest friend Of the com

good government and honest money
and has followed a course OF wise
craftsmanship which has secured for
the farmer good prices for his pro
ducts, for the laborer good wages, and
for the business man and manufac-
turer all the advantages of a protected
home market.
Now, my fellow citizens, it is for
YOU to decide whether you want to re-
turn Mr.. Kittredge and the old rail
road-machine back into power again.
Last year you took the power away
from them and took it into your own
hands. You can hold it and protect
yourselves against machine and cor,
poration abuse, or you a give it up
and allow the railroad machine to
take possession of the party and on
troll legislation for selfish purposes.
You will do one or the other; there
is no middle ground. AS a candidate
for the United States Senate, | stand
upon the following platform:
/. The policies and measures adyo-
Gated by President Roosevelt.
>. The early completion Of the Pana-
ma Canal according to the type and
plans adopted by the administration,
and a comprehensive and permanent
Improvement Of the Mississippi River
and it's navigable tributaries, includ-
ing the Missouri River through this
state, so that the same may be effec-
tive checks upon the excessive railway
rates.
3. A revision of tariff schedules by
! placing lumber, coal and iron upon
the free list; and in cases where the
manufacture of an article is controlled
by a trust and competition in its pro
ducton at home has been destroyed
am in favor of reducing the tariff
upon it to a point that will permit for
eign competition.
t.. The ascertainment of the actual
value of railroads engaged in inter
state commerce. the limitation OF is
sues of stocks and bonds to bona tide
transactions, a uniform system Of
bookkeeping and accounts, and the
regulation of rates,-under the super
vision of the government.
). Extension of federal control over
all corporations engaged in interstate
commerce. without impairng the
power of each state TO regulate TRADE

I. A law making it a crime to lobby

bLOOMERS DID N0T COMPARE
 WITH TUCSON
Game, While Amusing and Novel, Was from Sporting Standpoint No Better Than Rank Farce.

TUCSON, Sept. 16.-The Boston Bloomer Girls proved to be four men and five women, and the game, while 1t was amusing and the fans got their moneys worth, as ball game was a farce. There never was a ghost of show for the visitors from the time the first ball was pitched until the last man or woman was out and the four runs that the invaders chalked up were sheer gifts.
 A former city league pitcher by the name of Thompson was put in the box by Manager Bedford and showed hisA wisdom there in saving his gooo slab artists for the serious gameL. Thompson showed up about the same as he did last spring. but almost any pitcher could have gotten away with that game.
 There were a number of long hits made, scratch home run by Henry Pacheco with the bases filled, stirring up a lot of enthusiasm. The locals made nine runs and at the last were trying their best to get out.
 One of the Mamies started to do the tossing for the Boomers, but she did not last, and a mere man was put in. He started off like a whirlwind but he did not last either. The fay- orite with the crowd was a very live ly female, Hal Chase, who played first base like a veteran, and who had enough ginger and life fin her for two whole teams. She fielded well, got couple of good hits and performed like a real ball player.
 The final score of 9 to is not a fair criterion of the abilities of the two teams, for the locals won as they pleased. The crowd was the largest that has been at ball game this season
