CAN'T FOOL THE PEOPLE,.

Mowbridge News: The good people
of South Dakota are not going to be
fooled any more regarding the record
of Senator A. B. kittredge, not even
if the Mormons are f1ocking into the
state to assist the reform crowds
lature that would exempt such proper
ty from taxation as did the Northern
campaign. They are badly mistaken
if they think their presence is going
to help the situation. They are really
making bad matters worse and the in
surgents might better hire them to
stay away rather than allow their
services and their contributions in
the campaign. For South Dakota is
peopled with citizens who abhor the
~polygamist practices of the Mormons
Just as much as does Senator Kilt
redge. South Dakota should be and
is glad of an opportunity to rebuke
the Mormonism breach Of promise by
returning to the United States senate
a man who will stand up for the prin-
ciples of his OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES A.
B. Kittredge.

The meat i%nsDection enactment re-
quires rigid inspection of not only

lies to all interstate and foreign

The pure food law, one of the most
important pieces of legislation in re-
featured food products about with re-
strictions as to the sale, branding and
adulteration thereof, and that no de-
ception shall be practiced with regard

The act OF June Z, 1906. requires
that statistics shall be collected by

years with regard to all classes of

The abolition of the federal tax on
denatured alcohol was intended to
provide a cheap material as a substi-
tute for gasoline in cases where it
may be utilized.
. 1t is noteworthy that the opposition
to Senator Kittredge's reelection
rarely finds fault with the senator's
attitude with regard to any of these
measures. The whole effort of the
Crawford backing is confined, in the
main, to an attempt to impugn the
senator's motives.
Ii Mr.. Crawford would have voted
differently with resDect to any of these
me sures what are they? Let him
and his champions enumerate
