Rud. Sure Keefe Is Safe

Rud. Stensvad, secretary of the
Joseph R. Keefe campaign commit
tee is confident Mr.. Keefe will be
elected for second term in the leg
islature by a large majority on Nov
ember 5. Before leaving Redwood
Falls today Mr.. Stensvad said he was
entirely familiar with the situation
in various parts of the county and
confidently looked for Mr.. Keefe's
re election by approximately 500
votes. Rud. said now that he was
sure Keefe was safe and his election
certain he was going into southern

er and Stone. W.T.. Mr.. Keefeknew
that the right kind of a reciprocity
bill, carrying a farmers free list
would not be objectional to the north
west. 1t was supposed at the time
the resolution was pending that the
free list would go through, which it
did to be killed by Taft's veto. Mr..
Keefe could not foresee that conting-
ency but at any rate it evident that
the slightest perusal of the House
Journal would prove to the authors
of the pamphlet that Keefe did not
vote for reciprocity.
Good Measures Keefe Supported
Mr.. Keefe voted for: Astate wide
primary, corrupt practices act, in
crease in gross earnings tax, recall,
initiative and referendum, direct
election of United States senators,
commission to systematic states
business, civil service for cities, local
option for cities of fourth class,
workmen liability act, income tax
amendment and large number of
other strictly progressive measures
though this wierd pamphlet says he
did not vote for any progressive
measures.
They Duck the Authorship
By the way the authorship of this
pamphlet seems considerably in
doubt. DIR. Brand didn't know who
put the johnson Bill" in and later
denied authorship claiming first that
Mr.. Bendixen himself wrote the
booklet and then saying it was either
Mr.. Bendixen or Mr.. Werring. Geo.
Johnson of Seaforth disclaims any
first hand knowledge of the actual
contents of the pamphlet and while
he says it was meant to contain only
facts yet he is not sure this policy
has been strictly adhered to. Mr..
Werring denies authorship and Mr..
Hesnault's name does not appear on
the pamphlet.
The answer to who is the au-
thor" seems almost as uncertain as
the age af Ann.
The writer is certain that the yot-
ers of Redwood county will show
their disapproval of resorting to un-
clean politics by returning Mr.. Keefe
to the legislature by a handsome
majority at the coming election. l

Was Bendixen for Farmers?1

In the 1909 session of the legisla-
ture bill was introduced by And
rev Anderson to provide for the
manufacture of spreaders and other
machinery at the Saltwater prison
plant at which binders, mowers and
rakes were already being made.
This was house file No. 6 and the
record of the final vote appears upon
page 1914 of the House Journal for
1909 and c. M. Bendixen is not re-
corded as voting for it.

pical Keefe style fails to tell you
whether he voted yes or no on these
bills" This statement is as false as
it is bad in construction. The Keefe
pamphlet on page three says: Mr..
Keefe voted for: and there follows
list of the bills for which he voted.
Reviewing the Keefe pamphlet we
fail to find any measure mentioned
that doesn't state whether Keefe
voted for or against it.
Who Constitutes the Gang?
On page % the pamphlet says: II
Mr.. Keefe was compelled to vote
with the gang?" BY gang who is
meant? The records show that Mr..
Keefe was consistently voting with
Burnquist, Holmberg, H opkins,
Kneeland, Knapp. Mattson, and the
other we'll known and recognized
progressives. Are they the gang?
Mr.. Keefe's senate bill was not sup
por ted by C. A. Congdon, T. E.
Green, G. E, Stone and E. j. Sulli-
van, four of the leading reaction
aries of the last house. How do
these FACTS conform to the state
ment that Mr.. Keefe voted with the
gang?
Mr.. SuIerud Once More
Mr.. Keefe yated against the Sule-
rud amendment, voting to preserve
and protect the state constitution
and on page 1914 House Journal the
record of the vote shows that Holm
berg, Mattson, Hopkins, Rines, Day.
les, Orr, Palmer, Stone, w. T., and
other progressives voted with Mr..
Keefe. 1t is significant that practi-
cally all of the attorneys in the
House voted as Mr.. Keefe voted on
this measure, and there are excel
lent arguments for so voting. Ger
tainIy the statement that the amend
ment was killed to help any special
interest could only come from one
very slightly informed as to the
workings of legislative machinery.
Did Not Vote For Reciprocity
Now as toreciprocity. Ithas been
repeatedly said that Mr.. Keefe voted
in favor of reciprocity. BY refer
ence to 307 House Journal. record of
the only vote taken on this matter in
the house will be found. The Lee
resolution calling upon congress to.
kill Canadian reciprocity was recon-
mended to pass. Keefe signed
minority report calling for indefinite
postponepent of this resolution. In
the Minneapolis Journal of February
9, 1911, is the statement:
Mr.. Keete said that in his opinion
the members of the House are not
sufficiently we'll informed on the re-
clprocity treaty to express an lntelll
gent view"
PrOeressives Stood With Him
Which on the whole, was the only
sensible position to take and the
house sustained him and a large
number of progressive members
voted with him, among them being,

Thieves Still at Work.

Notwithstanding the numerous ar
rests Of thieves made in the city re.
Gently and the commitments resulting
therefrom it seems that there are
still more Of them at large, able and
willing to go on with the depreda-
tons upon the unwary public.
Saturday night thieves broke into
the storehouse occupied by Waddell
and Archer and stole something like
5000 worth Of hides, mostly coon
hides which are valued at several dol
lars each. 1t Is supposed that about
$50 hides were taken by the thieves
who have not yet been caught, al
though the police are on the lookout
for them.

SHOT Randolph after Randolph had
hrst shot at him and that he fired in
self defence and to protect his home.
From what can be learned of the
shooting it seems that Wilson was
not responsible for the death , of
Randolph, as DR.. Holman stated
that death was due to the pistol shot
which was fired by another negro
named Davis. Wilson having used
gun in the melee. Randolph came
into Wilson's house, where the hot
supper was being held, and for some
reason was expelled from the house
by Wilson. AS he was leaving the
house he stood near the door and
shot at Wilson. Wilson ran to anoth-
er room and secured his gun and re-
turned the fire. Davis also fired at
Randolph, who was wounded in four
places. three with gun shot wounds
and once from pistol shot. DR..
Holman thought death was due to
the pistol wound which was fired by
Davis.

PROF. HAND ON CONFERENCE.

Upon request Prof w. H. Hand,
inspector of high schools in South
Carolina, who acted as chairman CT
the sessions held during the high
school conference in this city, wrote
the follwing impressions which he
had gained at the meeting:
The high school conference in sum
ter was in every way up to the high
standard set by the six conferences
preceding 1t. The most encouraging
feature Of the meeting was the alb
solute frankness with which the sub
jects were discussed. Those present
made excellent contributions to the
discussions in "A spirit of candor free
from dOgmatism. The suggestion
made at said meetings are destined to
carry conviction and to improve the
educational condition of the State.
The real function of the high school
is becoming clear year 10y year. and
this information is going to the pco-
pie who support the high schools.
The teachers Of the Sumter schools
the citizens of Sumter and the press
Of the city have combined to make
the meeting a success ana a season Of
