A BUSINESS PRESIDENT

President Wilson probably will be
best known in history as the author
of the higher moral law of nations.
His name will be written large in the
record of the progress of industrial
justice. 1t was as the friend of those
on the lower rungs of the ladder that
he came to the White House.
Yet, in giving justice to labor, in
bringing about more equitable dis
tribution of taxation. relieving of
their burden those least able to bear
it, and widening the field Of oppor-
tunity for the younger men, he has
been successful in bringing to the
United States its greatest era of
prosperity.
There are $500 corporations in
the country, in addition to the bank
ing and railroad corporations. None
of these corporations have been har-
assed or hampered in their successful
progress. On the contrary. through
the Federal Trade commission, new
facilities and new business improve
ments have been placed at their dis
posal.
The business men of the country.
for many years, have been demand
ing tariff commission that would be
nom partisan, and whose makeup
and character would commend itself
to the confidence of the business
world.
The United States Chamber of Com.
merce, representing all the chambers
OF commerce and trade bodies in the
United States, has formally approved
OF the administrations tariff commits
sion bill, introduced by Representa-
tive Rainey of Illinois.
Recently the report of the Comp
troller of the Currency showed that
the reserves in the national banks of
the country were greater than the
reserves in tae Bank Of England, the
Reichsbank of Germany, the Bank of
France, the Bank Of Russia, the Bank
OF the Netherlands, the Swiss Nation
al Bank and the Bank of Japan.
greater than all of the reserves of
those foreign banks together. These
reserves are the wealth Of the Ameri-
can people, accumulated in large
measure since the advent of the Will
son administration.
The accumulation of gold in the
United States has reached the value
of $4,000, 900, 600, greater amount
than ever held previously by any two
nations together.
America has reached it's highest
point of prosperity and efficiency
under President Wilson. Indust trial
justice has been advanced, without
hurt or hindrance to business pros
perity, Wages have reached the high
est point in the history of the world.
Four years more of President Will
sons leadership will mean four year
more of steady progress and pros
perity.

THE NATIONS LEADER

Woodrow Wilson has been the ma
lion's leader in the most trying three
years of its history.
He has been the spokesman for hu-
manity throughout the world at a
time of international upheaval.
How great has been the restraint
upon the embattled nations, because
of their knowledge of the force behind
the Amerlcan president, probably
never can be accurately estimated
1t is certain, however, that had it not
been for the moral leadership of
Woodrow Wilson, there would have
been no restraint at all upon the
beligerents.
Under the leadership of President
Wilson, the United States has given
evidence of reserve power which has
made all European nations, after
each new move, await the verdict of
America.
There has been no egotism, no noise
aho DiG6tSi, 40 dttHChS upon noheSb
business men from the White House
in the past three years. There has
been no junketing or excessive
speech making. President Wilson
has handled the world, power which
destiny bestowed upon the United
States at the present crucial period
with faithfuIness, discretion and the
reserve strength that symbolizes the
nations greatness.
Is it any wonder that stalwart re-
publican newspapers. as we'll as those
of independent or democratic faith,
have paid Woodrow Wilson the tri-
butte of ranking him with Lincoln as
one of the two greatest presidents?

LET THE PEOPLE RULE

Il. O.. Richards is certainly right in
his primary election law idea, in
making principles instead Of persons
the issue, in providing for abolition
Of the official spoils system, in pro-
viding for public joint debates, SO
that the people can hear both sides
before they vote. in providing for mi
nerity and majority representation to
foster a line-up on the ballot under
principle go the people can see what
they vote for, as well as to establish
majority rule. The primary election
law in government is like the first
corn row in corn field. Get it
straight first before we can straighten
what has to follow. z
Richards is right-vote "yes" for
the Richards Primary law at next
November election, and vote for
Richards for Governor at the Pri-

FOR SHERIFF

1t has been impossible for me to
call upon all of the voters of hughes
county dnring the primary campaign
and for fear that soma may not be
aware of my candidacy for one of the
most important offices in our county,
| am taking this method of reaching
you, that you may know | am can
didate for Sheriff on the Republican
ticket.
The office of Sheriff is one of more
Importance than the average person
realizes and means much to the tax
payers and public as a whole, and
must have man who is competent,
energetic and willing to do his part
when his duty commands him, and
cannot have other side lines or bust
ness to attend to if he is going to be
loyal to the office which he seeks at
the hands of the voting public.
While feel that most of my friends
over the county are well acquainted
with me and know that my past ex-
perience of service as an officer, both
in the capacity of Deputy Sheriff for
four years under Sheriff Logan, and
also as Chief of Police of the city of
Pierre for about l6 years, during
which time much Of my service has
been in connection with the sheriff's
office in the handling of the various
kinds of papers connected with the
office. feel that ] am competent to
give the people of Hughes county an
economical as well as business ad
ministration, all of which / promise
to do if given your support at the
primary, and elected in November.
! have been a resident of the state
South Dakota for twenty nine years
and resident of Hughes county for
eighteen years, and can assure my
friends that if am not successful in
this campaign that | am not going to
cave the county and state like many
disgrnntled politicians, but shall stay

home these mary years.
| would like to say a word to those
of my friends in the county who are
for Prohibition, many of whom have
come to me and offered their support
without solicitation, that it ls my in
tentian to be governed by the laws
enforce these measures, and that [
will do my duty regardless of fear or
favor. | am and have been for some
years total abstainer, and shall en-
deavor to do what is right and ex-
pected of me toward enforcing the
laws governing this great question.
La conclusion let me thank each every
every voter who has been loyal to me
in this campaign and again wish to
say that if | AIN nominated and elect
ed, | shall do my utmost to give
Hughes county the best administra-
ton the Office of Sheriff has ever had.
Very sincerely yours,

GOVERNOR SAYS
State CAPITOL
WILL Be READY
Executive InspectS the
q Building Today

Snags in the way of carrying out
the plan suggested by some members
Of the legislature to meet on January
z and take a recess until June or July
on account OF the unfinished cond-
ton OF the state capitol began to loom
up today when state officials began a
close study OF the effect of carrying
out such a plan. %
Probably the most serious obstacle
was pointed out by State Auditor 4. r.
Howard, that being the constitutional
provision requiring that the state board
OF equalization shall meet on the third
Monday in June and make the levy
for the current year.
Unable to Fix Levy.
Unless the legislature has met pre-
viously TO the meeting Of the board and
made the necessary appropriations, the
state board OF equalization would have
80 way of knowing the amount OF
eoney to be raised by direct taxation
and consequently would be unable to
make the levy.
Should the work of the equalization
board be DELAYED il would probably re-
suit in confusion in carrying out taxa
tion matters in the different counties.
II was said.
The work is coming along in fine
shape and ] can now see no reason
why the meeting cannot be held in the
