Vote for Harding and Coolidge.

Nothing inspires confidence like
success. Four years ago the demo
Gratis asked us to vote for Wilson
to keep us out of the great Euro
pean war. He succeeded so well,
that they now ask us to vote for
the Wilson League of Nations to
keep us out of all wars for all
time.

We desire to call the attention of
the voters of Haakon county to
the candidacy of RID. Walker of
Fort Pierre, candidate for repres-
entative. Mr.. Walker has served
Stanley county as states attorney
with credit to himself and those
who elected him. He is a good
lawyer and public spirited citi-
zen. He will render exceptional
service in the legislature. Give
him vote.

The Pioneer Review is not a rab-
id partisan, and honesty compels
us to say that neither Mr.. Hard
ing nor Mr.. Cox have been entire
" fortunate in the management of
their speaking campaigns. Mr..
Cox took the prize for bludering,
however, when he stirrd up Elihu
Root by sending him that tele-
gram. The answer of Root must
be a delight to everyone who likes
clear, incisive reasoning. 1t is
agreed by everyone that Root is
one of the biggest men intellect
ually in the whole world. What
ever other good qualities Mr.. Cox
may have he is not reasoner in
| the same class with Root, and he
will do we'll 20 let Root alone.
Neither Cox nor Harding viii ever
know rs much about the League
of Nations as Root does. More
han this, Root is friendly towards
the League idea but the Cox tele-
gram gave him chance to clarity
the air and indicate ust where he
and his many followers differ with
the democratic candidate. 1t is
now also clear why many voters
favorable to a League of Nations
cannot accept the Wilson League.

We confess that we can see no
reason why republicans should
vote for a democratic congressman
to support republican president
There is no sensible basis on which
it can be figured that the thing
will work out During ademocrat-
ic administration Mr.. Candy has
been reasonably successful in hand
ling the affairs Of this district. But
it will be different under repub-
lican administration such as we
are bound to have after next
March 4th. Besides we need re-
publican congress to help a repub-
lican president pull us out of the
mess in which we now find cur.
selves. Does anyone believe that a
democratic congressman from the
Third District in South Dakota
would lend any aid to the policies
Of "a republican president? If there
is such man it may be set down
that there is something the matter
withhis mental machinery, and he
should consult a doctor.

| Th man who decided some time
ago that he would make his old
hat do for this. winter is up again
st an edict, direct from Paris, to
the effect that American men
must wear the "Clemenceau" bon
net, which is described as being
a cross between an Alpine guide's
headgear and a stewed oyster.
While the French have been known
to dictate whether the women
would wear open-face of open-back
dresses, fur or feathers jewelry OF
plain garden vegetables, the new
order is received as a sort of shock
by some men who were accustom-
ed to take their orders regarding
hats from the superior young fel-
low presiding behind the hat coun-
ter in the corner hattery. Pu'son-
ally, however, it may as well be
stated that we are going to rebel
and wear last years topper if it
busts a gallus.
