Less than two weeks remain before
the election when the voters of South
Dakota will cast their ballots to decide
the fate of the political parties. Con-
ceding the fact that this has been Il
very quiet election year, the past few
weeks has seen considerable activity in
both state and county republican
organizations which has been aug.
mented by numerous political speeches
Candidates Martin and Burke, for
congressional honors, and Senators
Gamble and Crawford have covered
the state pretty thoroughly and will
continue on the platform until the
last. Governor Vessey has been max
ing whirlwind campaign and his
speeches have won him votes over the
entire state. All of the men who ap.
pear on the speaking campaign have
been and will continue to advocate the
voting of the straight republican
ticket. Besides the speakers named,
a number Of others are on the plat.
form advocating this and are appear
ing in support of men who defeated
them for the nomination at the prim.
| aries.
Il. w. Martin, Charles II. Burke,
Regarding Congressman e, w.
Martin and Charles II. Burke, who are
up for re election, there is practically
no doubt in the minds of the South
Dakota people, but that they will be
returned winners with larger majorities
than ever before They are men who
do things and their record is known to
everyone. Their work has been for
the best interests of the people they
represent.
| II. S. yessey
| RS. Vessey, the present governor.
| who seeks a re election is without
doubt one of the best men South
Dakota people have ever honored with
that office. The opposing party may
make charges as every opposing party
will but one thing is very evident that
the republican candidate is not afraid
to stand on his record and will, on
November Sth, be re elected. This is due
to the fact that he is man of the South
Dakota people and for the interest of
the South Dakota people at all times.
n. s. Tubbs.
N. S. Tubbs, of Custer county, is the
republican choice for state senator from
this district which comprises Custer
and Fall River counties. Mr.. Tubbs is
clean, reputable man of whom this
district may we'll be proud. In the
capacity of state senator he will do
nothing of which honest men disprove,
On the contrary his work will be such
as to commend itself to every voter
He is an old resident of the southern
Hills and knows the conditions
thoroughly. In electing Mr.. Tubbs over
his democratic opponent. the people
will be taking step in the right
direction. He will stand for square
deal in politics.
DR. w. s. Bentley
The next person whom we would
like to call the attention of the voters
to is one of our home men. DR.. w. s.
Bentley is the candidate for representa-.
tive from this county, to succeed him.
self. There are two things to take
into consideration in deciding upon a
candidate for whom to cast ones bal
lot First, the character of the man:
and, secondly the policies and princi
pies he represents. In the writer's
opinion, both the candidates from Fall
River county meet the requirements
of the first but DR.. Bentley alone can
pass muster in the second. To be
more specific, DR.. Bentley belongs to
the party that has and is doing the
constructive work of this government.
1t represents the principles that have
proven most satisfactory and success
full in meeting public problems. 1t is
needless to speak of the personality
and record of Mr.. Bentley. He is an
old resident of Fall River. During his
term of office he has done all in his
power for our home institutions and
for this county. His success in help.
ing to secure the needed appropria.
tlons for the State Home is only one
OF the things showing that when at
Pierre he is able to get what he goes
after. His residence in the state which
dates from 1884 in territorial times.
has been the means of gaining him an
extended acquaintanceship thruout
the state and places him in position
where his influence is to be consid-
cred. The people are fortunate when
such men are willing to lay aside their
