Burke Can't Oppose Gamble.

Charlie Burke's silence may be con-
sidered proof of his alliance with
Gamble. Gamble is a Wall street
robber tariff advocate and a standpat-
ter of the standpats who basks in
the presidential smile, and has sup
port OF the interests in his campaign.
That's why Charlie Burke Is not try
ing to win CANDLES seat. The in
terests say to Mr. Burke. "Help elect
our man Gamble and we'll back you
against Crawford That's the game.
The talk Of Mr.. Burke being tired
of politics and needing a rest is all
bosh. The tariff bosses fix the program
for their political agents, and 10 one
need eve expect to see Charlie Burke
running for the senate when hand
some Bob has the backing of the
tariff robbers.

The Mitchell Corn Palace.

Mitchell's Thirteenth Annual Corn
Belt Exposition this year is schedul-
ed for the week commencing Sep
TENDER 18th and closing September
3Oth. The Corn Palace which is the
prominent feature of this EXPOSE
tion is the only one Of its kind in the
world, and serves as a nationwide
advertisement of the states resources.
There are no finer agricultural eX-
hibits to be found anywhere. The
beautiful designs displayed in the
decorations Of the building attract
the attention of all classes from near
and far. No n who has had the
privilege of viewing a freshly decorat-
ed Corn Palace, can go away without
the impression that he has seen a
real art exhibit. a picture in natures
own colors.
Aside from the decorations, there
is given the most wholesome kind OF
entertainment. Those who are look
ing for amusement and relaxation
from their daily cares, will find in the
program presented something that
they will fully appreciate and which
they will not forget for many a day.
Mitchell prides herself upon the
continued success Of these expeditions,
and just as long as the Corn Palace is
maintained as a Mitchell institution,
just so long can the visitor be assured
of getting his moneys worth and of a
greater Corn Palace each recurring
year.
Work Is already under way on the
decorations for the 1911 Corn Palace.
The arrangement of the different col
ors of corn in the makeup Of the de
signs will be something entirely diff
ferent from what has been presented
in years past.
The people of Mitchell have a right
to ask the cooperation of the citizens
of the state for their Corn Belt Expo
sition, for, while it is supported in it's
entirety by the business men OF that
city, there are few who are not will
ing to admit that it is the strongest
attempted in support of
our claims that South Dakota is get
ting into the front ranks as a corr
producer.
One might write a book on the
subject, giving in detail his impress
sions during a weeks stay at the Corn
Palace. Suffice TO say that the
stranger is always welcome within
the gates OF Mitchell. The citizens
open their homes to those who cam
not be accommodated at the hotels,
and special mean are provided for
the attention and comfort of all visi
tors. The event Is looked forward to
by the thousands Of people who spend
their annual vacation time here and
90 home feeling better for having at
tended.

LORIMER HOODOO.
The Men Who WhitewaShed Lori
mer Are Being Driven From
the Senate.

Senator Burrows of Michigan who
was chairman of the subcommittee
that white washed Lorimer, was kick
ed out of the senate by the honest
voters of Michigan. Senator Paynter
OF Kentucky suffered the anne fate as
Burrows. Senator Joe Bailey and
other Lorimer defender has served
notice that he will retire from the
senate at the end of his present term
in 1913. The people Of Texas were
getting ready to retire Joseph, but
like Hale of Maine, he saved his face
by getting out Of the tornado'S path.
South Dakota has one Of The Lorimer
whitewasherS to it's humiliation and
disgrace. His name is Gamble. lie
hasn't sense enough to get out OF the
way like Bailey. He wants to test the
temper Of the people like Burrows
and Paynter and he will get the same
dose they got.
Gamble seems to entertain the
opinion that the people are ignorant
and don't know enough to resent an
insult. When the primary vote is
counted he will understand that the
people have no use for a political
traitor or a man who whitewashed
Lorimer, and every other senator In
that whitewash deal is marked for
Aldrich of Rhode Island and Hale
of Maine supported the Lorimer
whitewash report; they retired from
politics. The dose was too strong.
