County Auditor Kundert could not
resist the temptation to be in political
strife, so he hired himself to Sioux
Falls on Tuesday and breathed in the
election excitement at the metropolis.
From all accounts, the election at
Sioux Falls and the campaign leading
up to it, were very strenuous affairs.
Geo. w. Burnside, generally conceded
to be the wide candidate was elected
Mayor under the commission plan.
The law and order people have only
themselves to blame for the outcome,
as they allowed their forces to split.

No Election.

Canton has the unique distinction
of being the only city in the state
where the office sought the man and
failed to find him last Tuesday. Al
though the election was duly called
and judges appointed, through some
oversight or lack of interest, nc eau
cuses we're called in the several wards
and no certificates of nomination
filed with the city auditor in time to
publish and have printed on official
ballots.
Hence, when election day arrived
the judges received no votes and so
made their return. A special cleo
tion has been called by the council
and it is hoped that the ward COM
mitteemen and voters will see to it
that nominations are properly made
and filed at least five days before the
date set for the election.
No blame can be attached to the
administration, as everything was
done upon their part required OF
them.

The Canton ChautauQua.

n The business men OF Canton have
taken upon themselves the RESPONSE
bility of endorsing a chautauqua en-
t%ertainment at the auditorium this
year, the Epworth League giving way
to the business men who have already
subscribed for 81, 900 worth of season
tickets. The business men of the
city regard Canton's C~hautauqua as
one of the most enjoyable features of
Four summer life and therefore sub
scribed for enough season tickets to
guarantee the program, which will be
the finest ever seen in the auditor
ium. Only two orators are on the
program-Governor Hanley, Of Indi-
ana and the ever popular w. ]. Bryan
and he alone will speak in the after
noon. Aside from Mr.. Bryan all the
Important attractions will be seen in
the evening, thus giving our friends in
the country a chance to enjoy the
hest.
The editor of the LEADER looked
over the list of attractions and he is
convinced that the program will meet
with public favor. Everything new
in motion pictures will be given, and
there will be jubilee singers who will
sing the genuine plantation songs,
and there will be many other amuse-
ment features of great merit. The
program is specially arranged to
ANUS all, and if hearty mirth makes
people fat there will be a good many
corpulent shouters when the program
closes on July 4th. The entertain
ment begins June rs.
Mr.. Harry Holbrook, n of the
most successful managers of the Stay
ton Lyceum Bureau, will have charge
Of the entertainment, assisted by Ed
Wendt in the ticket office. Mr.. Hol-
brook has been manager for a number
OF the most eminent lecturers in the
country, including Billy Sunday for
three seasons Mr.. Holbrook says the
Canton entertainment this year will
be the finest in the northwest, be-
cause it will be conducted by the
Slayton Bureau, the best in the Unit
cd States, and this fact alone is Suf-
fcient guarantee as to the high quail
" Of the talent.
Mr.. Holbrook in company with
Mayor Dean and Ed Wendt canvassed
the city and in a couple Of days sold
d, 900 worth of season tickets. This
Is the spirit that counts. 1t mean
that u business men are determined
that Canton shall provide entertain
ment for the benefit of thousands who
have not the time to go away from
Ahome for amusement.
M The LEADER takes great pleasure
Fin making this announcement be-
cause people in the country are anx-
ious that Canton's famous summer
entertainment should continue for
their amusement as we'll IS for their
children.

vas found in waiting with a basket
for Miss Oliver. The basket was tied
with white ribbons with American
beauties fastened to the handle and
filled with the daintiest of handker-
chiefs of lace and en- broidery.
J During the evening little gilt wish
bones were distributed among the
guests upon which were found ap-
propriate tOasts to the bride and they
we're drunk with right good will. A
three curse luncheon was served
to which all did ample justice.

ries a host of good wishes with her to
her new home.

Death of Albert ElStor.

The sad news Of the death Of Prof.
Albert Elster was received in this city
last Friday, and the many friends OF
the deceased man sincerely mourn
his death.
Prol. Elster was for many years a
resident of Lincoln county, having
spent his boyhood days here. He was
a mar of ambition, and had thought
to exceed in his chosen vocation OF
teaching, but the All Wise determin-
ed otherwise and called him to his
final home.
Prof Elster was principal Of the
schools of Alexandria, Mimi; when,
about three years ago, he was forced
to resign his position on account Of a
cancer growing upon his lips. All
was done for him which medical aid
conld do, but the desease could not be
stayed, and for three years he lived
but to await the end.
He died on Friday of last week sur
rounded by his loving relatives. The
funeral and interment took place at
Alexandria on Sunday.
A more complete obituary notice
will appear in the LEADER next week.

Boys Excursion to Brookines.

Boys excursion to the State Col
lege of Agriculture at Brookings, June
3rd and 4th. Fathers excursion at
the same time. State Supt. H.A. Us
trud has sent word to County Supt.
Lawrence that he has practically COM
pleted arrangements for a Boys Ex-
c~ursion to the State College Of Agri-
culture at Brookings on June 3rd and
4th, which will be the same time that
the farmers of the state will make
their visit there. The North Western
railway has already agreed to make
low rates and render special service
over all its lines, and 1T Is expected
that the other companies will also 20
operate. For several years past ex-
c%ursions for the farmers haye been
conducted, but this will be the first
that the farmers SONS will be given
an opportunity to visit the Agricul-
tural College and the U. S Experiment
Farms at Bookings.
State Supt. Ustrud in his letter an
nouncing the excursion makes the fol-
towing pertinent statements relative
to the benefits of this proposed xcur-
sion: 'To the country boy who dur.
ing the winter time attends school In
that little country school house and
before and after school each day as
sists In doing chores and who during
the rest of the year cheerfully does his
part in assisting in performing the
manifold duties on the farm, such q
trip as the n contemplated will be
hailed with delight. And why should
not he be entitled to an outing Of this
kind. I venture to say that the farm
er who will assist his boys in getting
some recreation and enjoyment out Of
life will assist materially in solving
the problem of how to keep the boys
or the farm. He will also get better
results from their work, and for such
investment will receive excellent re-
turns"
1t is expected that several thousand
boys will 60 on this excursion. Supt.
| Lawrence, who has successfully organ
lied the boys of the county intoa corn
growing club, says that he would be
proud to take a large number of boys
on this excursion. Lincoln county
ought to be well represented. Fathers,
let the boys have an outing. All who
expect to go on the excursion are re-
quested to notify Supt. Lawrence, SC
that he may make the necessary ar-
engagements for the trip.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1909-10-28
THE MOST SINISTER DEVELOP
MENT OF THE CAMPAIGN

The decision of Judge Pearce in the
matter of the trick ballots in the Queen
Anne's case brings to the attention of
the voters of the State one of the most
important, if not the most important,
and certainly one of the most sinister
developments of the campaign. 1t is
made evident that the Democratic State
machine can force through the Legisla-
ture an election law which MAJ be used
to disfranchise any voter and that even
the courts cannot prevent such fraud
and chicanery. 1t should be borne in
mind that the Judge passed only on the
legal points in the case. AS to the
moral question involved, he said:
So far as the moral aspect of the
case Is concerned, the court has no
power. This is matter which the
voters can deal with and should deal
with IN the approaching election.
Using the negro for an excuse. the
Eastern Shore politicians have prepared
ballots which permit the illiterate white
Democrat to vote with a minimum of
danger of losing his ballot, while MAX
ing the Republican white or black, lit
crate or ilhterate-rUn a gauntlet of
trick ballots and flake" names. The
utter unfairness of the proceeding must
excite the indignation of every honest
man.
We call the attention of those people
who think it is a regenerated machine
which is now trying to impose its rule
on the city and State to the fact that
these very State leaders indorse and APP
prove this scandalous proceeding. If
white men on the Eastern Shore can be
dlsfranchised by this most fragrant
scheme, what is to prevent men in any
part of the State beng subjected to the
same treatment as soon as the machine
feels strong enough to do it?
Had the court interfered to protect
the public from this manipulation of the
ballot by those INSCRIPTIONS tricksters
who make it as easy as possible for
the followers of one party and as diff
cul as possible for the followers of an
other to cast their ballots-we could
have said that, while Legislature
might pass an election law which could
be prostituted to such base ends, the
courts could protect US from the men
who sought t. do it. But when an hon
est Judge finds himself helpless to ex-
tend relief, the situation appears vastly
more sinister and significant.
There could not be more emphatic
warning of what we may expect in the
event the Democratic State machine
succeeds in its effort to make this a one
party State,
