TO THE VOTERS OF BROOKINGS
COUNTY, GREETING.

On Tuesday, June the ith, 1912, you
will be called upon to select your can.
didates for county officers. Owing to
the impossibility of calling personally
upon my many friends and supporters
| wish in this manner on the eve of
election to call your attention to my
candidacy for County Treasurer and
to especially and particularly assure
you of my heartfelt appreciation of
your kindness, and request that you
please mention me kindly to your
friends.
To the voters of the o~utlaying pre-
cincts who four years ago failed to
give me their support. probably be-
aus they did not personally knowme)
| "a only say that | would be glad
indeed of a nor intimate acquain-
lance with you. But am certain that
nothing | could do. or say in a short
personal call upon you, could demon
strate my worthiness and standing in
the community like the estimate plac-
ed upon me by those who do know me
as evidenced by their votes at the
primary and election four years ago.
| trust and believe you will consider
that vote a sufficient endorsement of
me and assure you of my hearty ap-
probation of your kindness in support
ing me at this time.
All taxpayers have no doubt noticed
the increased burden Of taxation much
of that money is wholly unnecessarily
used for inspectors, deputies, and etc.
l pledge you if nominated and cleo
ted to this office to dispense with the
services of a deputy, and within an al
lowance of not to exceed $4,000 per
year for clerk hire during the rush Of
the semi-annual period OF taxpaying,
to conduct the business OF this office
alone, thereby saving to the county

The candidate opposing A. w.
Ewert for state treasurer apparently
was hard pressed for legitimate argu-
ment when he placed in circulation
through the news columns of certain
papers Of the state, an article aiming
10 discredit Mr.. Ewert's authorship of
the State Depository Law. 1t is cited
that the legislative record shows the
bill TO have been introduced through
the senate committee on state affairs.
However, this is no evidence whatever
Of the authorship Of the bill. Mr..
Ewert was chairman of the state affairs
committee of the state and his author
ship OF the Depository Law is con-
firmed by every member of the CON-
mittee as well as by every one else
who knows anything about the matter.
Bills aiming at the same purpose were
introduced in both houses, but the
Ewert bill was conceded in the confer
ences to more thoroughly safeguard
the interests of the state, and more
certainly insure to the state the inter.
est on public funds, and, therefore,
was recommended by such committees
for passage and became the lay

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION

To the voters of Bookings County:
Are we to continue to be m~isrepre-
scented in the United States Senate for
another six years, or shall we have a
change? If W. are to make a change
we mus unite on the candidate who
stands the best show of defeating
Gamble. 1t is admitted on all sides
that Sterling is the only candidate
who can do this. Candles friendly
attitude toward the other two candi-
dates shows clearly that the only II
he fears is Dean Sterling. His only
hope is that by having Richards and
Grigsby divide the progressive vote
with Sterling, he (Gamble) may be
able to slip in. This is the reason the
Gamble papers, such as the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader and others, are
working for Richards and Grigsby as
we'll as for Gamble. G~rigsby's candi-
dacy is a joke and is so considered in
his own home, Sioux Falls. Richards
has no hope of winning and has so in
formed some Of his friends.
Theodore Roosevelt says: ANY
man who tried to secure the
ton of Mr.. Lorimer or who voted for
his eX%oneration has no claim to the
confidence of the people" Mr.. Gam
bic worked and voted for Lorimer.
The issue is between Thomas Ster-
ling and r. j. Gamble. We believe
the voters of Brookings county have
had all they want of Lorimerism and
are not going to help re-elect Gamble
by voting for either Richards or Grigs-
by, but are going to mark their X be-
fore the name of Thomas Sterling,
who stands for everything that the
Progressives stand for, and who will
reflect credit on our state as a mem
Der of the United States Senate.
Sincerely yours,
Brookings County Sterling Club.

II is pleasing to note the alacrity
with which the people are coming to
the support of A. w. Ewert for state
treasurer. AS the author of the state
depository law that yields the state
about $4,000 per year in interest on
state funds he has earned popular APP
p@royal and deserves to be elected
treasurer. The people should do
something for men who do something
for them.-Hyde County Bulletin.

The contest for the republican nomi-
nation for state treasurer is growing
spirited. A. w. Ewert of Pierre, au-
thor of the state depository law, is con-
coded to be far in the lead for this
position, and on account of his
strength his opponents have adopted
an advertising campaign through
which they attempt to discredit Mr..
Ewert's achievements as a state law
maker. The publication of the real
facts is not c-ommendatory of the sys-
tenn employed against him, nor or
robratiye OF the statements made by
the opposition. Mr.. Ewert is one of
the most capable men of the state, par
ticularly fitted to deal with financial
problems, and has a record which
shows that he has always been on the
watch for the interests of the people.

REGISTER OF DEEDS

To my friends of Brookings County,
greeting:
Owing to the fact that we are kept
constantly employed with the duties
Of the office, it is going to be almost
impossible for me to get out and see
each one of you personally. SO l take
this method of saying to each and
everyone of my friends, that l am a
candidate for reelection to the office
of Register Of Deeds. | have served
10 months of my first term, and dur
ing that time have paid into the
County Treasury the sum of $699.70
over and above the expenses of the
office, including the salary Of myself
and deputy; and not cen has it
cost the county for extra clerk hire,
but myself and deputy have done the
entire amount of work.
Now, if the tax payers of Brookings
county feel l have made good, and
that l am deserving a second term, l
can assure you that | shall continue
to do in the future as | have done in
the past, viz. devote my whole time
and attention to the details of the
Office, and continue to conduct the
same to the best of my ability, and to
the best interests of my constituents.
Thanking you one and all for past
~favors, and in anticipation Of your
hearty cooperation and Endorsement
Of my candidacy at the June primar-
les, l am,

A CAUSE FOR AN EFFECT

A person by the name OF Curtiss-
Ira Curtiss-has projected himself into
the congressional campaign IN the sec
ond district and is asking the republi-
cans OF the district 70 send him 70
Washington as their representative.
He resides at Aberdeen.
The issue upon which he is conduct
ing his campaign is his unqGenchable
hatred of the newspapers. In his
specially he is backed by a rather
rancorous disposition and he is pres
enting to the constituency an exhibit
ton of newspaper-phobia that is truly
remarkable Newspaper men as a
class seem to him to represent a men
ace to the republic that Is outmenaced
by no other menace.
There may be a remote cause for his
obsession, though no certain connec-
ton has been established between the
circumstance and the existing mental
condition.
II Is known that MIR. Curtiss began
his business career in South Dakota as
a retailer OF whiskey and beer and the
allied intoxicants, having been three
times licensed TO conduct saloons in
Clark, in partnership with ". F.
O'Neal
There are many newspapers not
friendly 10 his chosen vocation and
some OF them may have exasperaled
him with criticisms. perhaps unjust,
and long breeding over wrongs that
may have been real or may have been
imaginary. IS . possible explanation OF
The peculiar mental disturbance that
has manifested itself in his case.

No one can tell what real reasons
MAJ have prompted The Development
il Mr.. Curtiss OF malignant hostility
10 the newspaper people, but one can
imagine that he mas been sorely tried,
or he wouldn't make such an exhibi-
ton OF himself.
The Huronite is not e%ndeavoring to
apologize for the peculiarities of Mr..
Curtiss or 10 smooth the way for him.
But il can see that a man Of his call
ing might have been made a target for
the filings Of publishers and thus have
become unduly embittered against the
whole class.
II is no argument in favor of his
nomination and election to the high
Office of representative in congress-,
that he was successful in the saloon
business, any more than that success
in some other line Of business would
especially qualify one for the role of a
national statesman.
The Huronite is merely endeavoring
TO trace the connection between some
events within his past and his present
morbid tendency to throw a fit when
he is CONFRONTED by a news
paper.-Huronite.

one of the few men out of nearly 400

fact that Mr.. Burke has frequently
