he was again elected county auditor.
and was reelected in 1908, and is
now serving q fourth term as auditor
of Dawson county. This long public
service IN county where political
lines are drawn as closely as they are
in Dawson county, speaks we'll for
Mr. Anderson and shows how highly
those who know him best esteem him.
Politically, he has always been re-
publican, never varying in his alleg-
lance to the true principles of the
party. AS state auditor he will close
ly scrutinize every account and sup
press any and all illegal claims.

THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN is
ONE OF DECEPTION AND FRAUD

In the present campaign the ma
jority of the democratic nominees for
state and congressional positions
have been lost Sight of with the ex
ception of the democratic nominees
.o. governor and congress.
The three candidates for these
places have wholly abandoned the
remainder of the nominees to Their,
Fat and during the campaign they
have been looking out only for their
OWE personal interests and have neg
lected to urge voters TO, support the
entire democratic ticket. To iudss.
by the nature of the addresses deliv-
cred throughout the state by this
trio OF democratic candida ties thew
themselves constitute the entire
democratic party in South Dakota.
Another interesting feature Of the
q mocratic campaign is that even the
three nominees referred to are not
pulling together but 1t appears to BE
each man for himself and the dew

the son. Received his education at
the Madison State Normal. Continued
farming until 1904, when he was

TWO IMPORTANT FEATURES OF
THE MEM TARIFF


Maximum and minimum rates: The
new tariff provides for an increase OF
% per cent ad valorem on all impor-
tations from countries which unduly
discriminate against lis in their tar

Colonel Roosevelt. the inauguration
Of the policy of providing for dis
interested revision of tariff schedules

experts, which vii! treat each SEIZED

view both to protecting the consum-

nominees of his party for congress.
The nominees for congress also are
conducting purely one-man cam
paign.
". w. Soule, one of the democratic
nominees for congress, apparently IS
not aware that an individual named
John e. Kelley also is nominee OF
his party for congress. Candidate
Soule speaks only for himself, early
in the campaign having abandoned
Mr.. Kelley to his fate. With self
preservation motives, Mr.. Kelley also
is looking out strictly for No. I.
So far as the three candidates are
concerned, they are not cooperating
| with each other in the slightest de-
gree, and to all intents and purposes
| might as well have been the nomi-
nees of three separate and distinct
| party organizations.
The course followed by the three
candidates is decidedly humiliating to
| the better and more consistent ele-
ment of democratic voters in the
state, who are thoroughly disguised
| with their standard bearers in this
campaign.
| The three candidates appear to be
ashamed of their party, and the bet
| ter class of democratic voters are
ashamed of them for the poor gener-
alship displayed and for the lack of
/ effort Oh their part TO strengthen the
democratic party in the state.
! Why has the democratic party of
| South Dakota sunk TO such deplor-
able depths?
The answer is furnished by the ma
ture of the campaign Waged by Can
didates Wood, Soule and Kelley. In
stead of seeking to advance demo
cratic principles they have been
/ running back and forth i'll the state
humbly pleading for republican votes
/, on the ground that they are as good
i republicans as the most ardent re-
publican in South Dakota. Such
| hypocrisy has disgusted all right
| m need democrats.
Their campaign is one of deception
and fraud for the reason that while
publicly they proclaim that they are
!; ashamed of their own party, and
plead for republican votes on the al
/, legation that they are in sympathy
| with republicans on the great issues
| of the day, yet they are dyed the
wool democrats and have absolutely
nothing in common with republicans
They simply are striving to deceive
! republicans and secure the votes Of
| those whom they think they can hood
| wink into voting the democratic
ticket. Thus far and no further eN-
tends their interest in the dear re-
| publican voter

Prof. Lawrence has few equals as

he has blazed new path that every

AS county superintendent he soon
recognized the necessity for progress

vide something in addition to what
the books teach. Ills aim has been
to make the rural life of boys and
girls more interesting. and, to this end
he has organized the boys into corn
growing clubs and the girls into do
nestle science clubs. His efforts have
been wonderfully successful. About
400 boys competed in a corn contest
last year, and about the same number
of girls competed in sewing, darn
ing and patching, and in bread bis
cult and cake making. The exhibits
were revelation to. the hundreds OF
