MARK YOUR BALLOT "YES"

Mitchell, S. D.-The Anti-Saloon
League has Just sent vi information
throughout the state to the effect that
the vote for the adoption of the prohi.
bition amendment to the constitution
this fall must be "Yes," whereas a
vote in favor of prohibition at the
spring election has always been mo"
There is apt to be confusion In the
mind Of the voters in this regard I'M
less careful attention is given to the
matter. In the spring the question on
the ballot is, Shall intoxicating liz.
uors be sold at retail?' and mo" vote
is a dry vote. At the fall election the
ballot will contain the title Of the
resolution passed by the legislature
calling for a prohibition amendment
to the constitution and under the title
will be the words, "Shall the above
amendment to the constitution be ap-
proved and ratified?" and the dry
vote viii have to be Yes"
The entire ballot will be as fol
lows:
"A joint resolution proposing and
agreeing to an amendment of the con.
sitution of the state of South Dakota,
and to be known as Article XIV OF
said constitution, relating to the pro-
hibition of the intoxicating liquor
traffic, and submitting the same to a
vote Of the people"

A PICTURE OF HUGHES.

The New York World, which once
was 'outspoken in its admiration for
Mr.. Hughes, now declares that the
people do not know where Hughes
stands, or what he stands for. This
Wilson organ had no such criticism
to make when Mr.. Hughes was gov
ernor. The World said on May II,
1910: "He dictated no nominations,
controlled no convention, trafficked in
no patronage, made no bargains with
OficehOlders. He has rewarded no
body for supporting him and punished
nobody for opposing him. What in
huence he has welded owe public
opinion has come through his appeals
to the voters themselves" That Is
the estimate Of Mr.. Hughes given by
the World six years ago. 1t is a
pretty fair letter of recommendation.
Could he World say as much for
President Wilson? Hardly, for the
president has done all of the things
from which the World absolved

FOR Mccoy

G.. H. Marquis, formerly circuit
judge of this circuit, has announced
his candidacy for supreme judge and
his name will come before the voters
of the state on November seventh. His
opponent is Judge J.. H. Mccoy, now
of the supreme bench and one of the
most able jurists and attorneys in the
state. For seven years Judge Mccoy
was circuit judge of the Fifth circuit
and could have held that position for
the remainder of his lifetime if he had
not been called to act as a supreme
judge. He has now been on the SUI
preme bench eve years, and his ser
vices to the state have been such, that
a serious mistake will be made if he
is not returned. Judge Marquis is a
genial gentleman, but it will be remem-
bered that he was defeated by a good
sized majority at the republican pri-
maries several years ago, and that his
opposition vas especially strong in
the western part of Brookings county.
The writer has known Judge Mccoy
fer many years, has acted as news
paper reporter in several terms of
court where he presided. He knows
him to be an able judge and one whom
the state cannot afford to lose at this
time.-Volga Tribune.

representatives, it would be a manifest
injustice to follow sex lines as to Twill
lingness to assume responsibility for
the management of public affairs" If
such willingness is to be the determln-
ing qualification of suffrage il
should also be the determining quail
tication of man suffrage.
1t is true that governments suffer
more from Indifference in the elector-
ate than from all other causes COM
bined," but it is absolutely untrue tina,
this Indifference is most marked in
the suffrage states" Election data of
presidential and gubernaterial cleo
tons gathered from reliable sources
by the National Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION show that there is a steady
increase of the vote male as well as
female and that the women vote in as
large or larger proportion to their
numbers than do men.
Notably in the first elections of
Colorado, Arizona and Idaho they vut.
ed in greater proportion than did the
men.
In Wyoming during a ten year period
the increase in the vote outran the H.
crease in population by twenty per
cent.
In nc suffrage state has the actual
vote fallen below the potential vote as
much as it did in South Dakota in
1914 and it was only saved from the
disgrace of ranking with Texas which
stood lowest on the list, by the large
increase in the socialist vote in the
state.
"The assumption that woman sul-
frage helps the cause of temperance"
is not a mistaken one even if it be
true that the newest suffrage states
are the wettest. To prove it we
have but to examine the last rear book
of the A%nti-Saloon League which fur
nishes the facts and figures. 1t shows
that women have greatly aided the
prohibition movement in the free
states; and accordingly it's national
convention voted to endorse woman
suffrage.
Notwithstanding that Nevada is a
mining state, and ONE very much in
fhn poinnr;tu +ho,, have 1Nnn1 o.t;on
law by which they can keep the saloon
out of the rural districts and they are
showing gratifying results in it's en-
forcement. Montana has a prohibition
constitutional amendment pending to
be voted on this fall.
Considering that these states were
added to the free list in 1914 the status
Of the movement in them does not fur
nish a strong argument for the fore
going contention.
The A~nti-Saloon League year book
also tells us that since the passage of
the woman suffrage law in Illinois
more than 1000 saloons have been
closed because of the majorities found
in the women's ballot boxes" and with
the assistance Of their votes rs coun-
ties abolished the saloon in addition
to the 20 counties already dry" Out
of 143O townships in that state 1926
are dry.
Testimony refuting this contention
of u anti-friends is practically un-
limited.

Mr.. Hughes, with rare courage, frank

Wilsonian infallibility. He Is laying
bare a record of extravaganza, parti-
sanship, se%ctiOnalism, incompetence,
wrongheadedness, vaccillation and in

M'MNleT's WAR COST LESS
Bl00DSRED THAN WILSON'S PEACE
BY Theodore Roosevelt.

Under President Mckinley we
had a war with Spain. Under
President Wilson we are assured
that we have had peace" with
Mexico. These are the words.
Now or the deeds. During the
war with Spain fewer Americans
were killed by the Spaniards
than have been killed by Mexi-
cans during the present peace"
with Mexico. Let me repeat
this. A greater number Of Amer
leans have been killed by
Mexicans during these years,
when we are officially Informed
that we have been at peace with
them, than were killed by the
Spaniards during our entire wal
with Spain. Moreover when the
war with Spain was through, 1t
vas through. But peace still con-
tinues to rage as furiouSly as
ever In Mexico. Nor Is this
all. The instant effect of the
outcome of the war with Spain
was TO put a stop TO the dread
full butchery and starvation In
Cuba and the Philippines, and
the entry of both Cuba and the
Philippines on Il career of eight
cen years of peace and pros
perity such as they had never
known before in all their check
cred history. But during these
three years of Mr.. Wilson'S
peace" the Mexicans them
selves have been butchered by
their Own bandits steadily and
without intermiSsion and Next
can women and children have
died by thOusands-probably by
scores of thouSandS-of starva-
ton, and of the diseases incident
TO starvation. In other words,
Mr.. Mckinley's war cost less
peace; and it reflected high hon
or on the American people;
whereas Mr.. Wilson's peace
has been One of shame and dis
honor for the American people,
and one of ruin and bloOdshed
for the MeXicanS.
