GLEN M. WATERS.
(SEAII
Ihat Railroad Pass

The minority or standpat boosters
are making a last ditch stand upon
state senator by claiming that Glen
Waters, the majority candidate. IN
the Hand Hyde district, is connected
with Milwaukee railroad interests
and they undertake to prove it by
stating that he carries a railroad
pass.
Mr. Waters positively denies that
he has a railroad pass, and makes
affidavit TO it. He also positively
afirms that he has not now and
never did have any interest IN the
Milwaukee or any other railroad.
1t will be remembered that a few
years ago Glen's father purchased a
tract of land in Montana, as a specu-
lation. Shortly afterwards Mr.
Waters senior. was stricken with
paralysis, and has ever since been
confined to his home. 1t was. of
course necessary for Glen to protect
his fathers interests, so he began an
effort to sell the Montana land
among eastern people. going out
there often With the Milwaukee ex,
cursions. As an agent helping to
bring settlers to a point on their
line the Milwaukee gave him trans
portation, just as our railroads here
did some years ago to hundreds of
land agents who were helping to
bring in settlers. The railroads also
gave passes to all standpat political
leaders who were then in control of
STATE affairs: As soon as Glen's
work ended in this line his transpor.
tation ended, and he has none now.
But and now comes the rebound
to such a stupid bit Of politics. Who
took the South Dakota passes away
from agents and politicians? This
is all such fresh South Dakota his
tory that everybody will instantly
remember it.
If the railroad pass is a bad thing
who passed a law in South Dakota
forbidding the pass? Why, the pro
gressive, or majority republicans!
Who opposed this law? Why, the
st4ndpat or minority element!
Rather a strong acknowledgment
from the standpatters that the pro
gressives were right. is it not?
The minority evidently considers
il a grave handicap on the part OF
their candidate for senator because
he was not sufficiently interested to
register himself as a republican
voter and q citizen of Hand county
and they are trying to obscure this
fact.

Basket Bal! Games

On Thursday evening at the local
gymnasium the Miller high school
team won their third victory this
season over the Pierre high team
who were on a tour playing Miller,
Huron and Mitchell. The game re.
suited in the close score of SO to 80.
The home team was somewhat handi-
capped in the loss Of Carroll and
Spain and found the capital city
team harder to defeat than in the
other two games.
On Friday the girls team. chsper.
oned by Miss Frey, went to Pierre,
where in the evening they met the
high school team of that place. The
girls have had little practice this
season and the game proved an easy
victory for Pierre, the score being
SO to 9 in their favor.
The high school basket ball team
will leave this evening for Huron
where they will compete in the
tournament conducted by the Huron
College for the state high school
championship. Twenty SIX teams
from over the state have entered
and the contest promises to be q
lively one. The process of elimma.
ton is used and the winners in the
preliminaries play out the finals.
