Gamble Trying To Deceive The
PeODle.

Beresford Republic: Senator Gam
bic was in Bereford last week, and uC
the editor OF the Republic made d
plain and frank statement OF where
he stood politically, He wishes TO be
claSSed as Il progressive, TO such al
extent as good Judgment and careful
deliberaUion would warrant. He be
lieves that President Taft has mad
good and deserves a second term. Mr.,
Gamble accompanied the president
through the state on the recent trip,
and was impressed with the wonder
full staying physical qualities, in adj
iditiOn to the mental capacity and
magnetic influence of the man. Mr..
Gamble believes that as a result OF
his personal relations with the preSi'
dent, he could not he other than a
Taft man. AS to his candidacy, he
had taken soundings over the state,
and was more than pleased with the
prospect.
Senator Gamble was in Beresford
recently and in a statement to the
editor of the Heresford Republic he
claimed to be a progressive. He said
he wished TO be clasSed as a progress
i've to such an extent as good judg-
ment and careful deliberation would
warrant"
Il. J. Gamble has shown what he
calls good judgment in his support OF
every demand made by wall street
and the trusts, and as to his "deliber-
alton" well if he wants the people to
judge him by his elaboration he GER
tainly is a. thousand miles from the
progressive race track.
He stands for Taft'S denomination.
That's not very progressive.
He has supported every measure de-
manded by the interests, and still he
claims to be a progressive.
lie favored every schedule in the
robber tariff that gave to the million
aire class the right to rob the prOduc-
er, and yet he claims to be d progress
i've.
He was elected by progressive votes
and he professed to be a progressive.
He went down to Washington and
turned traitor by opposing everything
the prog ressives were fighting for.
He betrayed the men who made his
election to the senate possible.
Now he claims to be a progressive
so far as good Judgment" and care
full elaboration goes, but no further.
No man in the state would SO one
cent on his good Judgment" i'll poll
tics, or his careful d~eliberation'' as
methods in support Of the cause of
the people, because he never had an
aim or an ambition that was not sell
fish.
In Washington he apes a~rist0cracy,
in Dakota he apes decent manhood
but deceiveS no one. He was elected
to congress first because he was a
brother Of John Gamble, but Robert
j. Gamble never had and never will
have a just claim upon the sutlrages
of the people of this state.
He became so obnoxious to the old
republican machine that they kicked
him out Of the party, and he would
have stayed out had he not deceived
the progressives. He is trying to play
his old game of deception again.
He is a Wall street-trusu standpat-
ter in Washington. In Dakota he
wants to be claSSed as a progressive,
and in making such a claim he re-
minds one of the fellow who had a
brass cheek and was proud of 10.
What has Gamble done for South
Dakota that entities him to any con-
sideration?
He got his son on the pay roll in the
senate while that son a. attending
school in Maryland. He has secured
the appointment of men to office
through mercenary motives, in most
cases, and wants to continue his game
for six years more.
He shows utter contempt for the
intelligence Of the people Of this state,
who know his record in Washington,
by now claiming to be a progressive
If his judgment and deliberation
should consent after being reelected.
Robert J. CANDLES political judg-
ment and consideration will not be
sorely taxed after the people of this
state get a chance to use their judg-
ment at the primary.
