An 0FEN STATEMENTS

To the voters of Hughes County:
I 4With reference to my candidacy for
the office of states attorney and in re-
ply to a communicated article" sign
ed bp John S. Reed and certain cirou-
lars pertaining to the same matter,
both entitled 1.-TWO Hughes County
Cases, = / submit the following:
The matter under the head "Trip to
Massachusetts is criticism against
Sheriff Laughlin and myself for per-
forming our duty under the law.
Louis kehr swore to complaint be-
fore committing magistrate, charg-
ling one Merrill with the crime of
grand larceny, warrant was issued,
placed in the hands Of Sheriff Laugh
| lin and pursuant to his usual and
commendable custom he brought the
defendant into court, the defendant
waIved examination, appeared DefOEe
the circuit court, and there his att0r-
| ney and a gentleman interested in his
behalf appeared and, following my
short statement OF the actual facts.
without argument for leniency or .
severe penalty, argued the whole stu
alton to the court after which the
court imposed q sentence OF one year.
| Certainly, Mr.. Laughlln has no al
lternative than to serve aswarrant Of
arrest when the same is placed in his
fhands, Notwithstanding aud restitu-
ton, pleadings or question eff distance
which he must travel to apprehend the
defendant, and under the law 1t is not
within my power to dismiss . criminal
proceeding and were l to do SO I would
be guilty Of compromising . felony.
For the purpose Of argument, I ask
my opponents the question: In the
Ievent Of the election Of the independ-
lent candidate what distance will he
require 8 fugitive from Justice to place
between himself and the officers Of
Hughes county 70 be immune from
arrest"
The Phoenix Hotel Case. is .
matter Of which the informant, John
S. Reed. seems to have more fully i'd
/ vised concerning the porported facts
THAN Ias states attorney ever was.

his vote will be nullity as to that
office, because of the fact that he is
attempting to vote for more candi-
dates than there are places. Because
of the uncertainty as to which two
he intends to vote for, his vote will
not be counted at all as to that office.
Therefore, I would advise you that
in my opinion, ballots marked as in
Dictated in your inquiry should not
be counted for any of the candidates
for that Office. The remainder of the
ballot may be counted as far as it is
possible for the judges to ascertain
the intent of the voter.
Yours very truly,
S. w. CLARK,
Attorney General.

zone Spampinetta. an Italian" was
ever mentioned to me in connection
with this matter or that myself or
or anyone with my knowledge, ever
gave these parties or any other per-
sons notice to leave the city inside of
thirty days, or any similar notice.
1 deem it only fair that our friends
throughout the county shonld know,
what to my mind, is the actual cause
of the opposition to Mr.. Laughlin and
myself.
A short time after the citizens of
Pierre voted the saloons out. a So
called club was incorporated to ena-
bic them to engage in the hnsiness of
selling Intoxicating liquors at retail in
dry" territory under the guise of a
social club. The law enforcement
League of the city of employed de-
tective who filed his application with
the club on the 28th day of September
1910, and was admitted to member
ship upon the same night and pur-
chased two bottles of beer the first
night, paying therefor the usual price
of Is cents per bottle. Certain officers
of the club admitted upon cross exam
ination at the time of the trial, that
they issued coupons or checks which
were good ia trade for one bottle of
beer for each Is cents represented by
the coupons. In prosecuting this case
acted only in the best of faith and
did not have any feeling of enmity or
malice toward member of this club.
I positively and absolutely deny that
I ever at any time advised the men,
bers of this or any other club or or
ganization that they could engage in
the sale of Intoxicating liquors or that
beer could be drank in the club and
the law disregarded or in any manner
(evaded,
Mr.. Laughlin and myself were call
ed upon by the citizens of Pierre at a
public meeting to state to them what
our actions would be relative to the
enforcement of the liquor laws in the
event we were nominated in the June
primary and elect ID in November, and
while I did not vote to abolish the
saloons in Pierre l appeared at the
meeting and stated openly that as far
as was concerned during my second
term il the event Of reelection,
would prosecute every violation of
the law without fear or favor, and
equally diligent against friend or foe.

ponents intend to do otherwise, and if
not upon what platform and for what
valid reasons are we forced to carry

l ask the voters of Hughes county
to support me upon my record as their
states attorney for the past two years
and rest my case with them without
any reservation or fear that they will
be misguided by roor-back circulars
distributed few days before election.

How to Mark Candidate Ballot correctl,

"a Matter Of Importance to Electors.
Redheld, S. D., Oct. s1.-Dear Sir;
l have your inquiry Of the 21st inst.
You ask me for my opinion as to how
election ballots should be counted by
the judges of election where voter
puts cross in the circle at the head
of the party ticket, for an office where
there is more than one to he elected,
such as q member of congress :
and where he also makes cross
In front of the name of another can
didate for the same Office on another
ticket" To make your question clear,
you give the following concrete exam
pie: IF 9 voter makes Cross in the
circle at the head of the republican
ticket, and also makes cross oppo-
site the name Of Soule, candidate for
congress on the democratic ticket,
what two congressional candidates
will receive the count ON such bal
lOt?'s
!. therefore give it as my opinion
that where two or more cand idates
are to be elected to the same office,
the elector must designate his choice
as to all the candidates clearly, or his
vote will not be counted for that Of
dee. He may do that in but one OF
two ways. he may place : cross in

GROWING IN STRENGTH.


Omar E. Garwood, Deputy District
Attorney of Denver, Colorado, who
is now in South Dakota assisting local
women of this state in the equal suf-
frage campaign has written a letter to
the Woman's Journal giving fifteen
reasons why he favors equal suffrage.
We quote before those bearing upon
the results as he has observed them in
Colorado:
Because for sixteen years 1 have
seen the fairness and business of the
equal suffrage principle demonstrat-
ed in Colorado.
Because Colorado's experience has
shown that the vast majority of wo-
men can and will exercise the privi-
leges of the elective franchise wisely,
conscientiously and intelligently.
Because since their enfranchise-
men the women of Colorado have
caused to be placed among the sta
tutes the sanest, most humane, most
progressive and most scientific laws
relating to the child to be found on
any statute books in the field.
Because Colorado, with the help of
its enfranchised women, has enacted
model laws securing the property
rights of married women, providing
for the protection of widows and or.
phans estates, for the care of the de-
linquent and dependent classes, and
for the prevention of cruelty to ami
mails.
Because since the Acknowledgement
of Colorado women, fifty towns,
twelve counties and the principal resi-
dence portion of Denver. its largest
city, have been put under prohibi-
ton.
Because I have never observed an
instance where the use Of the ballot
has caused o woman to lose any Of
her womanliness or to neglect her
Ihome.
Because, tested by actual expert
ence. equal suffrage means better
laws, better candidates, better gov
eminent and consequently better
society"

several yards Of venetian lace. How
to hide 1t was a problem until she
thought Of ripping the lining Of his

Tho House Was Shakv.

When John Quincy Adams was
eighty years Of age he met in the
streets of Boston an old friend, who
shook his trembling hand and said,
Good morning, and how is John
Quincy Adams today?" .-..~. .'
'"Thank you," was the ex-president's
answer 'John Quincy Adams himself
is well, sir: quite well, I thank you.
But the house In which he lives at
present Is becoming dilapidated. 1t is
lettering upon Its foundation. Time
and the seasons have nearly destroyed
it. Its roof is pretty we'll worn out.
Its walls are much shattered, and 1t
trembles with every wind. The old
tenement is becoming almost uninhabit-
able, and think John Quincy Adams
will have to move out Of it soon. But
he himself is quite we'll, sir; quite
well.' ,s....
With that the venerable sixth presi.
dent of the United States moved on
