political effect and compel those poor
people to suffer In some degree, but
the man or men who would do such a
thing could not be classed as worthy
citizens of a glorious young state, one
of the best in the nation. Whatever
comes, let 1t never be said that South
Dakota refused to do her duty to the
helpless and afflicted"
"The educational institutions be-
long to every man and woman in the
state. They are numerous 1t is true,
but everyone Is filed with splendid
Dakota boys and girls seeking the
God given privilege of education and
mind development, and who shall say
that this one or that n must be
closed. Education comes high, but
it is the one glorious feature OF our
nationa. wealth and power, and no
man who loves his country will say
there is too much education and too
many schools. i have no use for any
party that would strike at the foun-
dation of our national glory. What
has made Scandinavia a world power?
Her splendid educational facilities,
and the blue eyed, light haired peo-
pie of the north are found today
wherever enterprise, industry and re-
ligion are prominent in national life.
The educational centers Of EurGre re-
ceived their first inspiration from
those fair haired, blue eyed people of
the northland and the foundation OF
English education came from the
same source. Take Jul own country,
and we find education and religion
the predominant feature of Scandina-
vian-American life, and our WI state
and wen Lincoln county bears out
this glorious testimony"
"No good Dakotan will ever try to
cripple our educational institutions
and no good Dakotan will ever deny
our unfortunate wards the broad and
humane protection they ask through
mercy in their helplessness." This
will find a glorious response from
every generous heart in the state and
it Is also a guarantee that the noble
hearted Wesley is just the nan u
people need for governor.
Senator Wesley met many friends at
the Rudolph and left Sunday at noon
for Rapid City and Deadwood, where
he and Congressman Martin will
speak together for a few days.

Vessey and Ericsson in Canton
Ell NEXT GOVERNOR MAKE AN INTERESTING
ADDRESS AND DEFENDS THE TAT
a# observation-disclosures

Senator Wesley and Hon. e. G.
Ericsson OF Elk Point arrived in Can
ton last Saturday evening and adj
dressed a small audience In the court
house. Even a few ladies braved the
down pour TO hear the speakers.
1t rained all day and rained all
night and Of course few cared to
brave the storm to hear a political
address. Mr.. Gemmill presided.
Mr.. Ericsson spoke first and devoted
his time to ripping up the democrat
ic state platform and easily proved 1t
was a document intended TO fool tile
people. His speech was clear, convin-
cling and logical.
Senator Vessey discussed national
issues briefly and then turned his at
tention to conditions in the state. He
referred to the democratic charge OF
extravaganza in state appropriations
and then reviewed the condition Of
the institutions. He spoke of the in
sane hospital and the splendid work
accomplished there and Of it's econom-
ical management and detied any man
to show where one dollar had been
wasted In caring for the unfortunate
insane, and wanted to know II there
was a man In the state who was in
favor OF denying those poor unfortu-
mates every comfort possible to re-
lieve their misery while lingering on
this side of the grave. 1t was a
graphic picture and showed beyond
language the noble, tender heart Of
the man who thus defended those
who we're unable to defend them
selves.
democracy could cut appropria-
tions and compel those people to suf-
fer as they did under Lees first adj
ministration, but / do not believe the
people would permit such inhuman
conditions. / want to see the in
sane, the deaf and dumb, the blind
and the feeble minded properly cared
for and / want to see every dollar APP
propriated for such a purpose properly
applied" said Senator Wesley, and
the audience %applauded.
"Who wants to deny the deaf and
dumb, the blind and the feeble mind
ed proper care and facilities for edu-
cation" said the Senator, growing
eloquent in defense of the unfortu-
mates. 1.-THE democrats might and
perhaps would cut appropriations for
