A Few Examples of How Our
"Reform" Friends Oppose
The "Spoi1s SYSTEM"

The "reformers" have seen fit to in
corporate in their platform this year a
plank touching on the "spoils system. "
This declaration makes a nice mouthful
and sounds WELL 1t is intended to con-
vince the average voter that the insurg-
ents would not have anything to do
under any consideration with any sys-
tenn that had spoils attached to it. Now
let us look at the record of this lily
white faction in reference to this one
Item which they take pleasure in de-
nouncing in their platform. Following
are given some examples of the manner
in which that plank has been lived up
to in the past:
o. S. Basford was made insurance
commissioner because he conducted an
insurgent newspaper and was known to
be handy man in gathering spoils for
campaign purposes.
II. c. Shober was made lieutenant
governor, and later given four thou
sand dollar position at Washington, be-
cause he edited an insurgent newspa-
per.
o. M. Osbon was given position at
Washington. He was an insurgent edi-
tor.
w. H. King, first made secretary of
the board of charities and corrections,
later made member of that board,
was an insurgent editor.
w. H. Bancroft, for services rendered
by his insurgent newspaper, was so
fortunate as to have the Office of state
game warden created for him.
p. j. Benz was fixed out with a posi-
tion in the office of the commissioner of
school and public lands, because of the
fact that he edited an insurgent news
paper and needed the money,
A close analysis of the situation leads
also to the conclusion that the personal
friends and relatives of this faction that
now holds up its hands in holy horror at
the mere mention of spoils were not
forgotten nor neglected.
The lnSurgent state treasurer appoint
ed his brother to the position of deputy
treasurer.
The insurgent secretary of state had
a nephew and cousin on his force.
The insurgent attorney general ap-
pointed his law partner as his assistant
at a salary larger than the chief of the
office receives; and it is stated that his
private stenographers were transferred
to the state pay roll upon his election
to office.
The insurgent state auditor has his
brother and cousin as clerk and dep
uty. None of his relatives were steno-
graphers.
The superintendent of public instruc-
ton has brother-in-law, sister-in-
law and niece and part of the time his
wife on the pay roll of that office.
The insurgent commissioner of insur-
ance has the assistance of his daughter
in his office.
The insurgent state engineer, in addi-
ton to his salary of two thousand dol
lars per year and seven dollars per day
as superintendent of construction of the
new capitol building, has his wife on
the payroll in his Office,
Possibly too much should not be ex-

If the stalwart state treasurer can
conduct his office for S400 less than was
appropriated in 1905, is there any valid
reason why the other departments, un-
der insurgent rule, could not have shown
a like saving?
These figures do not include the salary
and expenses of the hotel Inspector, the
fire marshal and deputy, the state game
warden and deputy for each county,
the two bee inspectors and sundry
other officers created by Crawford and
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1910-03-24

Vessey, for which no direct appropria-
ton was made from the treasury, but
which are supported by fees collected
from the taxpayers Of the state.
These fee offices would add perhaps
$50, 600 or 5000 to the above total.
Thus the cost to the taxpayers by rea-
son of new offices created and increases
in expenses of the old will not be less
than $3.50, 900 greater under Mr.. Wesley
than under Mr.. Elrod, which is certain:

Contest Piano is Surprise to
All. Tone, Action and Finish
Pronounced the Best. On
Exhibition at Reporter
And Farmer Office.

The five hundred dollar Stone piano,
offered by the Reporter and Farmer. in
it's great free gift contest, arrived last
Saturday. News of its arrival spread
rapidly; and before it had long been
installed in the Reporter and Farmer
Office, numbers of people had come to
see and to try the much talked of piano.
All expressed delight and appreciation.
1t proved to be all, and more, than was
expected. 1t has a handsome walnut
case and tone and action uneXcelled
by any piano placed before an intelli-
gent and music loving people. 1t could
do no other than elicit words of highest
praise.
The other instruments offered in the
contest will arrive in a week or ten
days. They consist of six violin outfits
worth $35 each; six mandolin outfits,
worth $50 each; and five guitar outfits
worth $25 each. They are of the same
high quality as the piano, and will be
equally appreciated by those who know
real values in the line of musical instru-
ments. For anyone who can use a first
class instrument it is none too soon to
get start in the contest. Later there
will be scores of people trying to get
them. To those who cannot make use
of them personally, they are as good as
the cash, for they readily sell at the
prices listed.
The two handsome gold watches,
which may be chosen in the place of
piano checks. are displayed in the show
window of A. L. Bloomquist's jewelry
store. These watches are the best, anc
are catalogued at prices higher thar
those quoted in the contest ad.
Contestants are approaching the
advantage to be gained in the special
offer of extra votes. The first offer of
100, 600 votes is earnestly sought by a
dozen or more. Others are fully deter
mined to be one of the ten who get the
