THE ISSUE NOW UP TO the PEOPLE,

It's now up to the people to decide whether South Dakota will con-
tnue to be a game preserve for the foreign brewery corporations or
whether the state will be run by the people for the benefit of the people.
It's up to the people of the state to determine whether thew will con-
tnue to put a price N their sons and daughters or whether they will
make the streets of South Dakota clean and safe for the young.
1t is up to the people Of The state to decide whether they will con-
tnue to authorize the setting of traps o destroy the boys and debauch the
kota shall be free of brewery domination and a safe place for home build
ers to come with their children.
You can not build up a state by tearing down its citizens.
You can not promote sobriety and thrift by opening saloons for the
promotion of drunkenness and sloh.
You can not promote chastity and clean living by operating brothes
in communion with dirty saloons.
Let the news go out over the wires on the night of November 7 that
South Dakota has repudated the saloon, the dive, the gambling hell and
has decided to join the 10 other clean, dry states.
Soyote on November 7 that if your o asks YOU if YOU voted for
the saloons you will not have to tell him that it is non of his business.
So vote on November that when your little daughter comes to vou
alright you can give her a fathers kiss and look her square in he face

STATE DRY CAMPAIGN CoMMITTE..

LEST We F0RGET!"

On the closing hours of this CAM align, don't forget certain things that
have developed.
The campaign waged by the foreign brewery and liquor corporations
under the name of the socaHed South Dakota Local Option League"
has been the campaign waged in the interest of the saloons and dives of
South Dakota. DON'T FORGET THAT.
Every known thief and bawd in South Dakota every known gambler
and plug ugly in the state has lined up under the banners of the South
Dakota Local Option League to save the state for the saloon and dive in
terests. DON'T FORGETT THAT.
Without a single exception, from the president down, every alleged
official of this alleged League" has always fought for license when the
saloon question was up and has always fought for everything that the
saloon wanted locally or in the state Legislature. DON'T FORGET THAT.
So rank has this been that more than one fourth of the "county presi-
dents" of the alleged organization have repudiated the fake, publicly de-
ClaTing that the uSe of their names in connection with the fake Organi-
cation was not authorized and denounced the forgery of their names.
DON'T FORGET THAT.
The alleged statistics of the vets of deplorable conditions said to
exist in dry states have been proven to be cheats and lies. DON'T FOR
GET THAT. ,
The letters and the paid advertising of the vets is not prepared by the
officers at all but by paid enmissary of the VETS of the outside organiza-
tons located at Sioux Falls. DON'T FORGET THAT.
They have hid behind a postoffce box in Huron, South Dakota, the
mail being taken out by an eX salOonkeeper, seeking to further cover
their trail. DON'T FORGET THAT.
Much of their advertising" has been put out simultaneously by the
Chicago Brewers Association, the interests of he two concerns being pre-
cisely in common. DON'T FORGET THAT.

IN the Indian tongues the term the

in one place. They are the spirits
who DRY into things, and who Spy you

that is, If you tell the folklore stories.
Therefore no Indian will tell a story
in the season of the firefltes. Hard
luck for the scientific gents, for the
professional folktale authorities who
have taken the period of their sum

lore! The Indian story.teiler becomes

ARE FEARING.
LACK OF CARS
Congestion Of Freight Cars In East
and on Border Makes situz-
ton Acute.

Railroads of Iowa have appealed to
the Iowa railroad commission to aid
them in meeting a car shortage
which is threatened.
Tho roads say that the prospects
for bumper crops were never better
and that thousands of cars will be
needed soon to haul grain. This
VIII overtax the carriers. In addi-
ton there is still big congestion OF
traffic at the Atlantic coast point
tying UP thousands of cars.
The mobilization of the troops on
the Mexican border, requiring the
transportation of a large amount of
government supplies, also is CON
tributing to the shortage of cars, the
railroad men say.
The state railroad commissioners
have taken no action on the request.
However, IN the past the board has
co-operated in these moveme nts.
In applying to the commission for
aid, F. H Hammiu Of the Chicago
Northwestern railroad stated that al
ready commissions in other states
have issued statements calling the
attention Of shippers to the need of
prompt loading and unloading OF
cars in order to get the greatest serv.
AC0 out Oh a ltmlL6Q nQmDer OK cars.
Last year your commission issued
a circular to shippers and railroad
companies which unquestionably was
OF great assistance in relieving con-
ditions during the car shortage" said
Mr.. HAmmfl.
The responsibility for car utility
rests equally with the shipping and
receiver Of freight as well as the
carriers, and It is entirely question
OF equal responsibility and requires
utmost cooperation between all three
parties In order to get the best re-
suits.
The railroad representative calls
attention to the fact that prosperous
conditions prevail all over the coun-
try and that there Is vast amount
OF freight moving in the heavy manu-
featuring district Of the east, reqrir-
ing many cars. This, with other
causes during the period OF move
ment of grain in the west may cause
q shortage of cars that will be worse
than any the country has known, it
