A. W. HYDE
Candidate for State Senator
KIND WORDS FROM WHITE.

White Leader: The Leader wishes
10 call the attention of the voters Of
Brookings tJunty to the candidacy OF
Edward Rogholt of Volga, for the
Office OF register Of deeds. Mr.. Rog-
holt was born and raised in Brook
ings county and has made good In
every position he has ever held. For
a number of years he has been the
popular manager 70! the Atlas CON-
pany at his home city, and has also
served two terms as city assessor OF
Volga. His work has been such that
he has gained a business and clerical
experience that eminently fits him to
fill the office to which he aspires.
There IS n feature Of Mr.. RoghOlt's
candidacy that should appeal strong
ly to every republican voter Of the
county, and that is the fact that he
is the only candidate for an office that
lives west of the Sioux river. OF the
eighteen candidates aspiring to coun-
ty offices, seventeen live east of the
river and Mr.. Rogholt is the only one
from the west side. For several years
past the west side has not had a rep
r%esentative in the court house, and
one-third Of the county has been
without representation. This is not
fair to the people of the west side,
and now that that whole territory is
asking for but ONE nomination, the
Leader believes that the people of
this vicinity and other parts of the
county east of the river should give
Mr.. Rogholt their votes for the Office
OF register of deeds on June seventh.
Be fair to the west side.

ON THE II FOOT.

The Signal has heard a good many
people ask the question il it is fair
and right to turn any county office
over to one man to live OIL all the
days of his life? If SO what is the
use of holding elections only in case
of deaths? Why not select a bunch
of fellows for all the Offices and let
'em stay there until they die? While
this idea sounds ridiculous, of course,
IL is a fact that Brookings county
has already made a pretty good start
in that direction. 1t is q fact that
+. F. Bagley, the present stalwart
candidate for register of deeds has
been employed in various Ways In
the court house for sixtee, O. seven
teen years. During this time he has
drawn wages amounting to about SIS.
600. Is 1t not time for him to look
out for a living somewhere, else?-
Sinai Signal.
How about your W candidate for
states attorney. Judge Mntson! Will
the Signal give his ofacial record?

DESERVES A SECOND TERM.
o. j. BITTERNESS
ldidate for County Auditor

Candidate for County Auditor
The expression that zone good
term deserves another has become
not only a by-word in common par.
lance, but it has been the adopted
rule of practice in the political affairs
o. this state and county. If a man
serves well the first term in a public
position, let him have another. There
are exceptions to this rule of course,
but there is nc cause for exception in
the case of O. J.. Otternes. pl esent
incumbent of the Office of county au.
ditor, who has been by general con.
sent of the people considered the prop
er person to become his own successor
Like several other prominent can
didates on the progressive county
pioneers of the county. He was born
in Huston county, Minnesota, May y,
1856, but he came to this state in
1873. He was then % years Of age
and he took up a homestead on the
land adjoining the present city of
Brookings. where the state agricultu-
raj college now stands. After taking
up his homestead Mr.. Otternes spent
the first winter in South Dakota, i'll
the city of Sioux Falls, where he was
employed in a general store, The
next spring he came back to his home
stead, and has resided uninterrupted
ly in Rrookings county ever since.
During the years Mr.. Otternes
has resided in this locality he has
established himself in the minds Of
the people as a safe man to tie up
to. Being possessed of a good COM
mon school education, and being a
close student of details in public
affairs and in the various details en-
tering into everyday business trans
actions he enjoys a fitness for the
transaction of public business that
few men with more extensive school
ing can boast of. This fact came out
prominently in the ability with which
he executed the business of many
township offices he has held, ana
again in his two terms in the state
legislatures; and lastly in the gener-
ally admitted fact that he has
handled the county auditors office
better than a majority of those who
have preceded him. If nominated
and elected the people can be assur'
ed that Mr.. Otternes will take care
of their interests as well during his
second term as county auditor as he
has done in the first, and give them
a service that will reflect credit upon
himself and the position.-Sinai Signal

gressive candidate for the legislature.

Bookings county asked for at the
last session of the legislature but did
not see fit to vote for several ap-
preparations asked for by other in
stitution counties. l refused to vote
for a number Of appropriations asked
for, for the simple reason that I did
not then and do not now consider
they were pressing need for the funds
asked for. This caused considerable
kicking and We were told that Brook
ings county could not get any appro-
priations unless we, the representa-
tives from Brookings county voted
solidly for everything asked by other
institution counties. Subsequent
events proved they were wrong as
we had no difficulty in convincing
the majority OF the members that
every dollar asked for by Brookings
county was needed and we received
the support Of a large majority of
the members when our bills came up
for passage. Brookings county agri-
cultural college received about $780,
100000 at the hands OF the legisla-
ture Of 1909 and I do not think the
taxpayers of this county or the men,
hers of the college faculty will say
they were mistreated.

The News believes there is very
little question OF the return of Repre-
sentatives Burke and Martin for an
other term in congress. They should
be returned, and the News believes
they will be. South Dakota expert
mented once in sending inexperienced
men to congress in place of the two
men who are o filling the places
so satisfactorily. and the experience
was n which thoughtful voters will
not are to repeat. The west is wont
to object, at times, to the predominant
influence the east exercises upon pub
lie affairs in the United States, yet
the west is too much inclined to refuse
to profit by the lesson the example Of
the east teaches. The casts predomi-
nance is due, more than any other one
thing. to the fact that it selects good
for congress and the senate, and
then sends them back, term after
term, until they develop into seasoned
statesrnel. Martin and Burke have
become seasoned statesmen, wise be-
cause Of native ability and legislative
experience. They are Of a class of
calculated to add prestige to the
west in the national councils of the
country.-Aberdeen Daily News.

A HEART TO HEART TALK.

The Saturday News wants TO have
a heart 10 heart talk with every re-
publican in Codington county. Else
where in this issue will be found a few
facts that are true. sincere and straight
from the shoulder and We want TO let
them settle down in your soul. Then
when o have read this issue pass
j: on 70 some other republican, call
his attention to these articles and see
that he hands the paper 10 someone
else For eight years the Saturday
News has been preaching the gospel
OF honest politics. IL has allowed no
mans hand 10 be in its collar; it
has obeyed the dictates of no boss; it
has been owned by nobody on top
ot Gods green earth. but the present
owner. who founded il, developed ii

cial cramps up 10 the present blessed
moment. From the time the News
was set from home made type and
printed on a small job press TO the
present blessed year OF our Lord Of
republican prosperity when ii is the
largest circulating English printed
weekly in the state OF South Dakota,
whenever the call of duty or 10 din
ner. has been for the only man re-
sponsible for its utterances, f. NJ. Bar
ker has gotten up in meeting and

The Saturday News is an independent
newspaper. No political party or fac
ton has a ring in our lose. We fav-
or the stalwart faction Of the republi-

cerely believe the time has come when
the people of this state can no longer
afford TO fool with these alleged re
formers who are so gracefully lOoting
the public treasury while the taXpay-
ers are paying the freight. SO far as
county politics are concerned We do
believe it makes any difference
whether a stalwart or insurgent is
elected TO office just so he is a good
clean. honest man and competent TO
fill the office but when it comes to
representatives in congress and the
governor of this state we are strictly
in favor of Chas H. Burke and Eben
