CANDIDATE WHO DESERVE SUPPORT
For State Senator
GILBERT c. WADE
of Butler.

Mr.. Wade was born in Batavia, n. Y,
and at the age of 10 years enlisted in the
22nd N Y. Light Artillery, serving with
Grant in the Wilderness, Sheridan in the
Shenandoah, and was at Appotomax in April
1865, when the final surrender of Lee took
place. At the close of the war he was hon
orably discharged as sergeant of his company
Mr. Wade settled in Kingsbury county,
South Dakota, in 1879, serving as local
postmaster during the Harrison administra-
ton, and in 1899 was elected to the legisla-
ture from that county, being again returned
in 1901.
The following year he settled in Oak
Gulch Township, where he engaged in
farming until two years ago when he moved
to Butler.
During the two terms Mr. Wade served
as representative he became known and
recognized as one of the best posted and
most efficient members of that body, and
the people of Day county are fortunate in
being able to secure the services of man
of such integrity, ability and wide
experience in Legislative affairs, to serve the
county in the upper branch of the legisla-
ture, where previous experience is SO neces-
sary to useful membership. Mr.. Wade
does not ask the support of Republicans on
the grounds of having once voted for
Republican president, but rather on the
grounds of having always supported the
Republican party and the flag of his coun-
try whenever and wherever found.
Mr. Wade also stands for strict economy
in the expenditure of public money to the
end that the large state debt with which we
are now burdened may be decreased until
the state is again on solid financial basis.

Governor Wesley recently made the
statement in speech at Brookings
that the farmers were not paying taxes
enough. What do you think of that,
Mr.. Farmer? During the past three
years your leg has been pulled to the
limit. Your money has been used to
pay fat salary to every cheap politi-
clan the reform" machine had use for;
it has been used to pay for 81 200 rugs,
bloodhounds, automobiles and other
necessities, and yet, Wesley says
you are not paying taxes enough! Ye
gods! What do these ''reformers"
want? Is Vessey going TO confisicate
the entire state in order to pay up the
states debt and furnish the "refoi m"
officials and politicians with pocket
money?

For Representative
c.. C.. 3 u s n
of Waubay

Mr.. Bush was born and raised on farm
in Ohio, studied law, and was admitted to
practice in the states of Ohio, Indiana and
South Dakota. He has practiced his pro-
fession in Waubay for the past IL years and
has the confidence and friendship of all who
know him
Mr.. Bush believes in giving all necessary
support to the educational and penal insti-
tutions of our state when carefully and
economically administered, but stands
squarely against the wasteful expenditure
of public money during the past three years
whereby large sums of the public funds
have been appropriated for the benefit of a
few counties in return for political support,
and for a large number of unnecessary offices
created to provide easy jobs for professional
politicians, as result of which the public
debt has increased nearly 400 percent, and
this too in spite of heavy increase in valu-
atoms and taxation.
Mr.. Bush favors strict regulation of rail
road and express corporations by the enact
ment of laws in good faith which will stand
the test of the courts. He is in favor of
compelling the railroad corporations to fur
nish cars and equipment SO that the farm
ers may market their crops at such seasons
of the year as is most profitable or con-
venient

In letter written by Dick Richards
on December 18th, he declared Cover
nor Vessey to be the tool of the rail-
road machine, and on Feb. Oath, at the
Huron conference, he declared that Mr..
Wesley was the proper man to carry
forward the principles of progressive
republicanism in South Dakota. The
momentous question is: when did Mr..
Richards lie? Was it on December %,
1909, or February "a, 1910? The recent
activities of the railroad machine in
behalf of Governor Wesley lead us to
believe that Mr.. Richards separated
himself from the truth on the latter
date.

For Sheriff
EPHRIAM BEACHY
of Webster.

Mr.. Beachy is 40 years of age, was born
in Pennsylvania of German parentage and
has lived in Day county for the past %
years, during which time as a buyer and
seller of livestock and dealer in real es-
tate he has had active business relations with
large majority of the people of the county.
There is probably no man in Day county
who has had business dealings with larger
number of people than has Eph. Beachy,
and the fact of his general reputation for
fair and square dealing should recommend
him to every voter.
Mr.. Beachy speaks German huently and has
a fair knowledge of Scandinavian. Having
disposed of his stock ranch he is in posi-
ton to devote his entire time and energy to
the office for which he is a candidate Mr..
Beachy believes in being prompt and fear
less in the handling of criminals, but in
matters of civil controversy he will endeavor
SO far as his legal duty permits, to effect
amicable settlements between parties at
lowest possible cost to all concerned.
The need of wide awake business man
in the sheriff's Office is apparent to all, and
if elected, Mr. Beachy promises clean and
straight forward administration from both
moral and business standpoints.

Ten years ago Mr. Larson moved to the
eastern part of the county near Enemy
Swim church, where he has since been en-
gagged in farming and stock raising.
He has at all times been a strong and
answering Republican. In asking the
support of the voters at the June primaries,
MIR. Larson stands squarely on the PROPOSE
ton that to give the Office the most efficient
and economical service, county treasurer
should exclude all other business and devote
his entire time and give his entire service
to the duties of the office.
Mr.. Larson believes that 100000 per
year is ample return for the responsibilities
and duties of the treasurer's Office, and
pledges himself, if elected, to become dur
ing the term of his office, bona fde resi-
dent of the county seat to give to the duties
of the Office his entire time, and place the
disbursing and handling of the county mon
ey on strict business basis.

For Superintendent Of Schools
J. n. n ETH EY
of Webster.
of Webster.

Professor Hetley was educated in the
state of Michigan, where he taught school
for eighteen years before coming to Day
county. He is graduate of the Michigan
State Normal School, and on account of
his superior ability as an educator he was
granted life diploma and life certificate
by that institution.
Prof. Hetley has spent FIVE years in edu-
cational work in South Dakota, during four
of which he filled the Office of on nty sup
erintendent of schools in this county.
Prof. Hetley is known to every school Off
Ger and in almost every home in Day coun-
ty, which makes it unnecessary to speak of
his qualifications for the Office. 1t is also
unnecessary to make any extended refer
ence to the condition of the school organic
alton of the county after two years of
reform" Suffice to say that although
Prof. Hetley had taken up other work from
which he derived larger income than is
paid the superintendent of schools, the de-
mand that he become candidate became sc
urgent from all parts of the county, not
only from stalwarts but from many who
voted the progressive ticket two years ago.
that he consented.

For Auditor
CHRIS GRUE
of Webster.

Mr.. Grue, who was born near Christiana,
Norway, is now As years of age and has
been resident of South Dakota for thirty
years, the last twenty of which he has been
a resident of Day county, most of this time
being engaged in farming near Bristol.
In 1902 Mr.. Grue was elected by the
Republicans as Register of Deeds and
served two terms. He has the equation
of being one of the most pleasant and oblig-
ing officials who ever served the county,
and the records of the office during his ten
ure show great care and accuracy. For
these reasons Mr.. Grue was asked by many
tax payers to become candidate for the
important Office of County Auditor, and if
elected he will begin his duties with full
and complete knowledge of the require
ments of the Office.
AS staunch and loyal Republican, Mr..
Grue takes off his hat to no one, and he
pledges himself, if elected, to devote all his
time to the work of the office, and will con-

That Ex-Governor Elrod will receive

next Tuesday there is now practically
no doubt, but the republican voters Of
the state should bear in mind that in
ordersto carry out the stalwart plan of
reconstruction and placing the state
upon q solid financial and business basis
1t is absolutely necessary to fill the
state Offices with men who are in har-
mony.with Elrod's plans of economical
government and practical Legislation.
To elect the various candidates upon
the reform" state ticket would mean
the placing of an impediment upon the
plans of economy and retrenchment
which Mr.. Elrod is determined to carry
out. The history of South Dakota dur

The "reform" press is at present
endeavoring to make grand stand
play by showing up the increase in
railroad taxation under reform" But
we notice that they make no mention
of the fact that the increase in taxes
upon farm lands is greater than the in
crease upon the property of the rail-
road corporations. Why are the rail-
road corporation any better than the
farmers? And what in the deuce are
our ''reformers" doing with all the
money they are receiving as result of
the high taxes they have levied?

What "RefOrmv Costs

$l8, 751. 55 is what it has cost the tax
payers of Day county to allow the "re-
formers" to run the state during 1908
and 1909.
Think of it, Mr.. Taxpayer of Day
County! This sum is sufficient to pay
the salaries of your county officials for
that period; it would more than pay the
cost of every school house and church
erected in Day county during that time;
or would pay the cost of the work done
upon our public roads. And what have
you got in return for this extortionate
levy for state purposes?
REFORM"
Not one tangible reason can our fake
reformers give for this enormous
increase. The matter has been up for
their consideration during the past six
months, but they have diligently side
stepped the issue, and have tried to
mislead thes voters by bowling for a
continuance of our present extravagant
administration and
"REFORM!"
Mr.. Taxpayer of Day county, the
proposition is now up to you in dollars
and cents. Eighteen thousand seven
hundred and fifty-one of your hard
earned dollars have been wasted in
experimenting with the Crawford-Ves-
sey-Richards bunch of fake reformers-
and you have not yet paid your share
Of that million dollar debt with which
they have burdened the state. Instead
of using this money in building schools,
churches, roads and bridges, you have
been compelled to use it to pay the sal
aries of reform" politicians, to pay
for the waste and extravaganza of the
Crawford Wesley administrations, and
last but not least, to pay for Boss Rich
ards special guaranteed brand of
"REFORM!"
Will the voters of Day county SUBJ
NIT to this extortion? They have their
opportunity at the primaries next
Tuesday to voice their Indignation in no
uncertain tones. And it is their duty as
citizens who are interested in the well
fare of the county and state to see
that no candidate who is identified with
the reform" machine, which is directly
responsible tor the deplorable financial
condition Of the state, receives their
endorsement at the primaries.

after long hunt found the fire marshal

fact is vouched for by the men who
