OFFICIAL PAPER SIOUX COUNTY
What Will Fort Yate. Do?

majority of Fort Yates people will
vote against the progressive law
passed last winter by the people,
legislature and which are to be re,
ferred to the people June 26 fol
their approval or rejection.
Why so thoroughly democrat,
people as compose the population
IF this district would wish to defeat
the seven laws referred we cannot
Imagine and, furthermore, we can.
not believe that such is the case.
If there ever was a community
where the spirit of common fellow.
ship and cooperation is more mani.
fest than right here in Fort Yates
and its environs, we have not visit.
ed such place. These progressive
laws to be voted upon are nothing
other than the peoples instruments
to carry common fellowship and CO.
operation into effective force in the
state of North Dakota.
Sioux county is undeveloped. Its
natural resources have not yet been
touched, scarcely.
Is this virgin county to become
the prey of large financial specula-
tors, who will pre-empty its oppor-
tunities and hold its land by foreign
capital to be let out on terms Of
landlord to the children of the pres
ent generation in years to come,
or is it become the prosperous and
happy homeland OF these same chill
dren, both white and Indian, who
will own their homes without hav-
Ing to pay tribute to nonresident
and out-of-tffe, state capitalists?
This same question is the issue in
this election as it applies to every
county Of the state. but owning TO
