Graz Law Not So Fearful.
Concernin gthe military law, which
Is referred to the voters, and which
the democrats declare is nothine
more than a GEAR" law, empowering
the governor to call into service
citizens, the governor stated that the
Whole criticism against the law was
a mlsconception of the opposition
This law, the governor said, was
passed on the request of the military
authorities of the state, in order that
the state laws might conform with
the federal laws. 1t creates no adj
dltlonal expense to the state militia,
Many other states in the union have
this same law. The governor cleared
the alleged mystery with which the
democrats state the insurance law is
hedged as containing absolutely
nothing which is detrimental to the
interests fthe people who insure
their property. 1T is merely the
standard form, which practically all
states have in effegt.
Plea for Education.
Governor Vessey made a special
plea for the better educational facil-
ties OF the young men and women of
the state. Our state University at
Verm1llion,' said the governor, "is
In need of better facilities for educa-
tional purposes. The men and wo-
men on the faculty are not paid sal
aries that are in harmony with their
ability, nor do the salaries in any
case compare with those paid by our
sister state to the north. 1t is time
that South Dakota rises to the digni-
" OF the situation and make these
things which stand for the better
ment of the intellectual qualities of
the boys and girls. There is also a
great work being done at the agri-
cultural college at Brookings. The
boys O nthe form are receiving an
education which will enlighten them
sutficlently as to see the better things
in farm life. Our farmers of the
state are being benefited through
the experiments that are being con-
stantly made. There surely is no
money lost in making it possible for
the farmers to produce better crops"
The governor also referred to the
training school at Plankinton, the
blind school at Gary, and the deaf
mute school at Sioux Falls as insti-
buttons which should be equipped
with better facilities to educate the
unfortunate bays and girls Of the
state. The governors address was
received with much enthusiasm as
he pounded the facts home to the
voters, and his sincerity was so ap-
parent that his remarks had a splend-
id effect on his hearers.
Congressman Martin Moses
1t was a late hour when Congress-
man Martin was called upon by the
chairman for the closing address.
congressman sought to impress
upon the audience the fairness Of the
proposition of supporting the condi-
dates on the republican ticket.
Stand BY the Ticket.
These men," said the congress-
man, have been nominated as a re-
suit of the primary election; you
have went to the primary and voted
whom you desired and aided in
the nomination o fthe ticket. That
certainly binds a voter, as a matter of
Justice, to suppols the ticket that
was nominated. OF course there is
4 difference of opinion among men
to Candidates during the primary,
but with the ticket nominated there
is but n duty for the republican
voters-and that is to support the
.icket.'
Congress Martin paid a high tri-
butte to the governor and his COL
concerning their efforts in
behalf o fthe jeojie and of the party,
and added that the same loyalty to
hem should follow down the line
the state candidates to those

A Historical Review.
just to awaken some enthusiasm
and to remind you of the greatness
II the republican party and some
hing which you can tie to, l want to
ook back over a half century's re-
,ord o fthe republican party. Its
fifty years has created a responsible
ty in attending to the business Of the
lation that has made it a power in
he land. The party has responded to
he call of duty, has interpreted the
ideas which have brought wealth
% the nation, and peace and pros
,erity to its people. Republicanism
hines brightest when there is some
hing to be done. There are ques-
ions which We have to meet, and the
all-important one is whether the
trusts shall run the government or
he government shall run the trusts,
md there is no question as to the So
ution OF this proposition.
