Misrepresentation and falsehood will
again serve their purpose in Day coun-
ty, but we would advise them at this
time, the beginning of the campaign,
to keep somewhere within the bounds
of truth. They have worked the mis-
representation game overtime. The
people of Day county are too well ac-
quainted with the ''reformers" and
with what they have done to permit
themselves to again be hoodwinked by
the misrepresentation and falsehood
which is the only political asset the
Clipper and its political hackers pos
sess.
We also wish to give the reform"
leaders and the Clipper publisher notice
that if they desire to make this cam
paign of recrimination and personal
attacks the Reporter and Farmer will
get right into the game and will give
them run for their money. The Re-
porter and Farmer believes it is the
prerogative OF. any newspaper to criti-
cize the public record of any public Off
cial when such record is open to criti-
cism, but this paper has never yet
sought to exploit the private character
of any individual. But if our reform
ers" desire campaign of this character
they will find the Reporter and Farmer
putting forth its best endeavors to lead
the pace.
Gentlemen, it's up to you.

proved to be the event of the season.
People kept pouring into the opera
house until the number reached the

LaFoilette and Crawford
Gentlemen, it's up to you.

The insurgent press of this state has
endeavored to build up the political for
tunes of Senator Crawford by claiming
that he was allied with LaFollette in
an effort to enact the legislation de-
mandcG by the progressive element.
The falsity of this contention is shown
by Mr.. Crawford's record, but the in
surgent editors have lodged the record
and still persist in their effort to create
the impression that Crawford and
LaFollette are bosom friends, and that
our peerless reformer' is working
hand in glove with the insurgent ele-
ment.
The current issue of LaFollette's
Weekly Magazine shows, however, how
much valuation the insurgent senators
place upon Crawford as progress
sive. The magazine contains alengthy
article from the pen of Senator LaFol-
lette in which Crawford. in company
with the Mormon senator Smoot, is de-
nounced asa servant of the Aldrich
machine"
Crawford was corporation attorney
before he was elecssd to the senate,
and his record in the senate proves that
servility to the big corporations has be-
come habit with him. He was elected
as progressive, but after one year of
service we find that he has become
such rank partizan Of the big corpor-

That Malmberg Case

Frank Anderson's personal organs,
the Waubay Clipper aud the Webster
World, appear to be greatly exercised
over the report of the Malmberg case
which appeared in the Reporter and
Farmer two weeks ago. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that tire Court, after the
state had introduced what it termed
Its evidence" decided TO throw the
case out of court, and that the Report
er ard Farmers report of the case was
absolutely correct, these two organs of
the insurgent machine are endeavOring
to shield Anderson and give the impress
sion that the account of the case as
given in this paper was false.
The Reporter and Farmer is not in
the habit of publishing falsehoOds-
we leave that to the reform" editors.
We stated, and the truth Of the state
ment cannot be denied, that the states
attorney brought this case without suf-
ficient evidence to secure a conviction,
and that it bore every earmark of
typical reform" political deal. At the
time Mr.. Malmberg was arrested the
local strikers for the reform" ma
chine were endeavoring to use the case
for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of their ma
chine, and the manner in which our
states attorney slumped when it came
to delivering the goods when the case
was brought on for trial does not reflect
much credit upon his ability as an attor-
ney. And it might not be amiss to call
attention to the fact that Anderson's
political hackers can find very little to
enthuse over in the record he made dur
ing the last term of court in either the
criminal or civil cases with which he
was connected
If our states attorney is such an able
and astute disciple of Blackstone as
our reform" editors would have us
believe, why did he permit such farce
as the Malmberg case proved to be to
come before the court. If he is such
an efficient" attorney he must have
known that his evidence was valueless,
that he had no case to bring before the
court, and that he was piling up the
court costs without the least show of
giving the taxpayers any results for
their money.
The Malmberg case had every appear
ance of one of Andersons political
deals and was generally regarded in |
that light. He failed to make good
in fact, he got ia severe "throwdown"-
and it will take more than the wailing
of the World and the Clipper to create
much sympathy for him. Anderson
played his own game, and lost. and the
experience will doubtless prove benefi-
cial to him the next time he commences
to perform.

Dick Richards captured the insurg-
ent conference at Huron by agreeing
to support che insurgent slate in return
for the privilege of making up the
insurgent state platform. Dick should
be sufficiently we'll acquainted with the
reformers to know that they have
no respect for platform pledges and
that Dicks platform will not be worth
the paper it is written on if Vessey ard
his crowd of pie-hunters should succeed
in carrying the primaries. Wesley and
his bunch have Dick gold bricked'
again, and the voters of the state will
enjoy the spectacle of Mr. Richards
boosting for the Crawford Wesley ma
chine and trying to refute the utter
ances he has made during the past
year.

Richards Captures Insurgents.

When the progressives got through
with the Huron meeting they found
that theirs was no longer reform par
ty. Richards had made them eat out
of his hand. Don't think it strange,
Mr.. Voter. The faction was in distress.
They have had all the offices, of course.
but they had been used to land Craw-
ford in the senate, Elliott as attorney
for the Milwaukee at Aberdeen, Shober
in nice easy place down at Washing
ton, and the leaders need money for the
coming campaign. Richards financed
the last two campaigns -he has the
money for this one. This was a factor
which had to be considered. He had
told the people that the men in power
at present had not kept the promises
made by him to the people and were
unclean and unholy. They would not
keep the reform pledges. The stalwart
papers of the state at the time of Mr..
Richards expose of Crawford, Vessey
and Gamble, really believed that Rich
ards was honest in his announced re-
forms and that he would oppose the
crowd who had thrown him and his
reforms over The stalwarts did not
expect his support, but they did pre-
sumo that he would oppose the crowd
which he so bitterly denounced. But
Richards is typical "reformer. He
went into the Huron meeting after the
overtures of his friends to nominate
him as the stalwart candidate for gov
ernor had been turned down and after
a hard fight, and vote of 78 to 81,
secured the endorsement of his plat
form and was chosen as the head of the
state campaign committee.
We cannot understand how Dick
Richards can support Governor vessey
after he has denounced him and his adj
and we are at a loss to
understand how the governor can make
the race with man managing his cam
paign whom he has openly denounced as
a political boss and one who tried to
supersede him in his powers as gov
ernor. But then we are not reform
ers.

The World credits our states attorney
with having been responsible for the
recovery of the amount of Paulsen's
defalcation If Editor Bronson will
brush up the musty recesses of his
memory he will probably recollect that
former treasurer Butler made good the
amount as soon as he was appraised of
the shortage, and that the states attor-
ney had no connection with the matter
further than to act in the capacity of
legal adviser for the county treasurer.

The progressive republicans are try

The progressive republicans are try
ing to convince Judge Frank McNulty
that he is the man who was born to
beat Congressman c. III. Burke out of
his position. Mr. McNulty did not car
ry his home county last year. 1t may
seem to him that there is room for him
in congress, but we will venture the
assertion that he will not carry one of
the counties in his present judicial cir
cult in a fight against Burke. Mr..
Burke has been tried by the people of
South Dakota. Then they tried to do
without him for two years, and after
that brief experience returned him to
Washington. South Dakotans want a
man down at the seat of government
who does things, and Mr.. Burke has
proven himself master hand in look
ing after their interests.

There is an old maxim to the effect
that great minds often run in the same
channel, and the editorial columns of the
World and the Waubay Clipper are a
pretty good exemplifcation of the truth
of this saying. The editorial matter
relating to county politics which appear
ed in the last issue of those reform"
organs was practically the same, and
had the appearance of having been con-
cocted by one of our local court house
ornaments.

When you look at your tax receipt
just remember that it is the progress
sive or reform" element of the rep
ublican party which has increased your
burden of taxation. Just remember
that the present governor says that
this is a great big state and we need
this increased burden. Bear in mind
that the state is in debt nearly mil
lion dollars, and figure that you are
paying you part of the $1,000 per day
that the Vessey administration is cost
ing more than Elrod's. Add all this
together and see if you do not want to
return Sam Elrod to the governors
chair. He promises to keep the expen-
ditures of the state within the revenues

are greatly increased over last year,
and that last years taxes were lots
higher than the year previous. He

DO YOU think, Mr. Voter, that it is
worth the price? If SO, vote for Yes
