The Lemmon herald. (Lemmon, Perkins County, S.D.) 1912-1917, 1912-09-13
announcement

democratic county OeIiCEdi s1oiil-
mittee of Perkins county have
leased for eight weeks or during
the rest of the campaign the
front page of the Lennon Herald.
They have paid for it the same
as a Merchant, Banker or Real
Estate dealer would hire space
and they will use this space simp-
" to tell the truth to the voters
Of Perkins and Harding counties.
There is no Democratic paper
in either of these counties. A
paper must have business the
same as a merchant in order to
exist and the most profitable part
of the newspaper business in the
northwestern part Of the state
has been the publication of final
proof notices. The Administra-
ton having been Republican and
the policy Of to the victor be-
long the spoils' having been in
| force in this Land District, it has
not been an inviting field for a
democratic sheet, and so we are
! forced, in order to reach the
voters with our story to lease a
page from the Lennon Herald
The Democratic County Com
mittee assumes no respons-
ibility for WI a t will ap-
pear elsewhere but on the front
page Of this paper. but its con-
troll over the front page is abso-
lutte, with the exception of the
two columns on the right hand
side of this front page which will
be edited by the State Commit
tee. 1t will be our aim during
the campaign to treat all with
courtesy and kindness. We will
not deal in personalities or stoop
to petty insinuations. Many of
the men nominated on the Re-
publican State, Legislative and
county tickets are the personal
friends of the writer and it would
give him a positive pleasure to
20 them favor, but a man
should not vote away his liberty
lor TREND any sooner than he
should lmpoyerish himself or his
family by giving to those of
whom ne is fond The Republi-
can party, as at present managed.
IDS become a party of oppres-
SlOn' 1t favors taking from the
many who labor and produce all
tne wealth, and givingit TO those
VINO do not labor, but prey upon
those who do.
II has taken campaign SUBJ
scflpnons from privilege hunters
ever {, since the war and permitted
,heSe pirates to rob the weak and
nelpless. Death, starvation, pro-
Sututlon and misery follow in the
wake OF such a course and for
'nls reason the party should be
oelea'ed. Fill your county Of
