GRAIN MOVES

Some idea of the hood of money
which sweeps westward over this
and the adjoining states when the
grain movement begins may be gain
ed from the fact that last week the
Minneapolis banks sent ont ever
S3,5oo,ooo i'll currency.
This total exceeds the amount ship
ped last year by half million and
measures up to the best of any past
year.
Every year this grain movement is
the sign for easier times in the north
west. When the farmers begin to
sell their wheat then everything feels
the impetus of the loosened money
and business ali along the line picks
up. The vast total of silver and cur
rency which Las come into the terri
tory is much greater than year ago
and it's magnitude indicates return
to the good old times, only better.

EWERT A CANDIDATE

Egan's American Republican: Hon,
a. w. Ewert, the prominent banker
and linancier of Pierre, has announc-
ed his candidacy for state treasurer
of South Dakota. Mr.. Ewert has
been very successful banker and
business man in South Dakota for
number of years and has large host
OF friends all over the state, who Will
be delighted to give him their support.
He was a candidate two years ago
for denomination and was beaten In
the primaries. He promptly abided
the will OF the majority and lined up
for the republican party and used his
large influence for it's success at the
general election.
Ewert has all the qualifications to
make an excellent state treasurer and
chances of nomination and election
are good. indeed, and there is but
one thing that will thwart him and
that would be, if he should be drawn
into any of the com binations which
the. professional politicians aTe now
trying to bring about in this state.
The day of slate making is past in
South Dakota as it is in most other
states.
The primary provides the only way
that a man can legally be candidate
and that is to announce the principles
upon which he stands and go directly
to the people without any machine
endorsemdnt, cliques or comhna"
tions. This editor believes that Mr..
Ewert will this time follow both the
letter and spirit of the primary and
will look after his own campaign and
let other men do likewise and if he
takes this course he will undoubtedly
be elected for no one can say any
thing against his character or ability.
