POPULAR GOVERNMENT is OVER
THROWN IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Shall! the People Rule?

Oficialdom has repealed the Rich
ards primary law which the people
adopted by a direct vote in 1912, and
which the people, themselves, refused
to repeal by a second vote in 1914. The
1915 legislature, nevertheless, repeal
ed it and also attached the emergency
clause to prevent the people from re-
ferring this act of the Legislature to a
vote.
The politicians do not want the Rich
ards law. They want the secret spoils
system for the few, in place of the
open merit system for everybody. They
do not want a plain ballot. They want
the present confused ballot. They do
not want issues discussed so the peo-
pie can hear both sides before they
vote as is provided in the Richards
law.
The people have therefore again Pc
titioned for the Richards law in amend
ed form to be voted on at November
election. Vote YES and put it back
to give it a fair trial, and let official
dom know that Under God the People
Rule" in South Dakota. (Adv.)

settled by your vote at the election November 9TH. Shall
the right of self-government, majority rule and legal con-
troll be endorsed by retention of the local option law, or
shall we substitute therefor a policy that has proved a
failure in every State in which it has been tried?
In support of our contention that local option is a
temperance measure" we have, through the medium of
the public press, given you evidence of the most dam
aging character against so-caled Prohibition as recorded
in the newspapers of Prohibition States. We have illus
trated the conditions as they truly exist, and no denial
has been attempted by those who would force prohibitory
control on this State.

influential in South Dakota matters, long after Mr.. Hol-

Bear in mind the following facts: There is no ques-
ton of the use of liquor involved in this issue. The Pro-
hibiionists have in their advertisements admitted that
liquor can be obtained the same under Prohibition as
now. This being true, and when the Prohibiionists ad-
vertise such to be the fact it must be true, then what is
to be gained by giving up the revenue, legal control and
