TIE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN is
ONE OF DECEPTION AND FRAUD

In the present campaign the ma
jority Of the democratic nominees for
state and congressional positions
have been lost sight of with the eN
ception of the democratic nominees
Tor SoVernOr and congress.
The three candidates for these
places have wholly abandoned the
remainder OF the nominees to thai'
fat. and during the campaign they
have been looking out only for their
own personal interests and have neg
lectcd to urge voters to support the
entire democratic ticket. To iud"
by the nature of the addresses deliv-
cred throughout the state by this
trio of democratic candidates they
themselves constitute the entire
democratic party in South Dakota.
Another interesting azure of the
democratic campaign is that even the
three nominees referred To are not
pulling together but it appears to be
each mar for himself and the 'dev-
il take the hindmost."
For instance. Chauncey J.. Wood.
