Johnson and the "Reformers"
Boss Richards reform organs,
otherwise known as the progressive
republican newspapers" have turned
their mud batteries upon State Treas
urer johnson, and he is at present the
recipient of all the filth, malicious lies
and slanderous reports our plum-hunt-
ing bunch of alleged "reformers" can
hurl in his direction
The cause of this sudden outburst
against our stalwart state treasurer is
obvious. When Mr.. johnson first took
charge of the state treasurer's office he
announced in no uncertain tones that
he would not permit the reform" pol
iticians, lobbyists, heelers, plum-hunt-
ers and holders, who now infest
our state house, 70 run the Office of
state treasurer while he was the incum-
bent. He also announced that he would
adhere strictly to the pledges of the
platform upon which he was elected,
and would turn over to the state every
cent of interest received upon state
funds and would conduct his office as
economically as possible. This announce
ment caused no little CONSERVATION in
the reform" camp. Economy was
something with which the Performers"
were not familiar, and as they had
planned to conduct the affairs of the
state in lanything but an economical
manner, they knew that the rest of the
state Offices would make a decidedly
poor Showing in comparison with the
state treasurer's office. Results were
as the "reformers' anticipated. MIR.
Johnson--devoted his entire attention to
conducting the affairs of his office as
they should be conducted, with the
result that the treasurer's office has
cost the state $500. 90 per year less THAI
it did during "Reformer" Cassill's
incumbency. n In comparison with this
the showing made by the other state
officials is sufficient to make every tax
payer repudiate reform" The cost
of conducting every other state office
shows an increase of from 20 to 200
percent; and that is where Johnson
gouges the ''reformers.' They are
envious of the record he has made; they
know the voters are comparing Johnson
with the reform" office-holders, and
they know that the reform machine
is not profting by the comparison.
And in order to create prejudice
against him they are using their usual
reform ments"-falsehood and
SANDER the only arguments" Boss
Richards and his reform" heelers
have.
A fine sample of the falsehoods cir

culated by Boss Richards ''reform"
organs appeared in the Pierre Dakotan
two weeks ago, and was to the effect
that Treasurer Johnson appropriated
for his own use the interest received
upon state funds during the months of
January and February, 1909. Editor
Bronson, of the World, who he's all the
instincts of a Crawford Vessey ere
former" and therefore hunts false
hood with the avidity of crow hunt
ing carrion, gives credence to the false
report contained in the Dakotan, with
out endeavoring to learn whether it is
true or not. Fortunately for Mr.. John
son he is in a position to prove the falls
ity of this viscious attack. He has OBJ
tanned affidavits from every bank hav-
ing state funds stating that not cent
of interest has been paid to Mr.. John
son personally, but that every cent of
it has been paid to the State of South
Dakota, and is so entered upon the rec
ords of the treasurer's office. Among
the affidavits to this effect is one made
by Mr.. A. w. Ewert, president of the
Pierre National Bank of Commerce,
who is the reform" candidate for the
Office of state treasurer.
Richards reform" organs have also
stated that Mr.. Johnson is not a bust
ness man; but the records of his office
prove the falsity of this charge. Mr..
Johnson has conducted his office in an
economical and businesslike manner,
and in addition to saving the state $500
in office expenses, he has turned into
the state treasury $13, 76O 81 in interest
money during the past year-and would
nave uSSH SHdpleu 10 secure larger
amount of interest had not the extrava-
gance and Encouragement of our ere
form" administration kept the state
treasury practically depleted. During
the two years "Reformer' Cassill
served as state treasurer he appropriate
ed every cent of interest received on
state funds, and it is stated on reliable
authority that he afterwards turned
over some SIS, 0C0 Of this interest mon
ey to swell the Doodle fund of the "re-
form" machine.
Mr.. johnson stands prominently forth
as the only one of our state officials
who has shown any desire to conduct
his office in an economical and business
like manner. He has been a faithful
servant of the people; his record is
untarnished; and no amount of false
hoods. filth and SANDER from such SER

The World says the stalwarts have
not one good leg to stand on. If Mr..
Bronson will spend few hours reading
his state exchanges and note how the
''reformers" are hedging, covering,
prevaricating- doing anything to apol-
og;ze for the infamous record they have
made-he might come to the same con-
clusion the majority of the taxpayers
have reached that the only apparent
purpose of the reform" clan is to
spend the taxpayers money and create
new Offices for needy politicians.

tears and protestations are not very
interesting to the taxpayers. He can
devote whole pages to rhetorical vapor-
ings, but that does not explain why the
taxpayers should be held by crowd of
alleged ''reformers. Explanations
are in order, Mr.. Bronson.

Some of local reform lights, who are
circulating through the county in the
interests of the Richards Vessey ma
chine, have been telling the voters that
the cost of the new capital building is
responsible for the high taxes. Mr..
Taxpayer, not one cent of your taxes
except such amount as has been grated
by the state engineer, who received in
addition to his salary of 50, 900 per year
y7.00 per day as superintendent of con-
strucEon- has been put into the new
capitol building. and any statement to
the contrary denotes either ignorance
or a proclivity to prevaricate. The
funds used in the construction of the
new capitol were secured through the
sale OF lands donated to the state by
the federal government for that pur-
pose. The Performers" are in desper-
ate straits, and in true reform style
they are attempting to allay the wrath
Of the taxpayers by dispensing such

The voters of South Dakota have
been "strung"so often by the promises
of the Performers" that they are
beginning to regard their platform
pledges as being in the same class as
the ancient mother-in-law joke.

Mr.. Taxpayer, under our reform
administrations valuations have been
increased 45 percent, taxes have been
increased 60 percent and the state debt
has been increased 1886 percent. Three
years of reform" have done this. How
much longer can you stand it?

repudiate reform" and its attendant
