CHERRY DISCUSSES LEAGUE

The treaty of peace and the league

themes of U. S. G.. Cherry, democratic
candidate for United Senator, in his
scholarly political lecture at the Opera
house last Friday evening. The crowd
was large but undemonstrative. Mr..
Cherry gave a very exhaustive expla-
nation of the league of nations, start
ing back with the assassination of the
arch-duke Of Austria and the re-
sulting war, involving "a civilized ma
tons which resulted in the death of
$4,000, 900 people, the destruction Of

nations gathered at Versailles and
formulated the treaty Of peace and
the league covenant. A preliminary
draft of the covenant was brought be-
fore the brainiest men of both parties

amendments were suggested and Pres
ident Wilson brought the covenant
back to the peace conference and prac-
tiCally all of the amendments sug-
gested by Taft, Root and Hughes were
agreed upon by the other nations and
incorporated in the covenant. The
final draft was brought back and

DON'T BELIEVE A LIE

The state has been flooded with
false advertisements concerning re-
ferred law No. 1, which has to do with
the enforcement of prohibition. These
advertisements imply that if this law
is passed officers can invade homes
without warrant. This is not true.
The search and seizure law of 1907
will be still be in force. No prohi.
vate residence without a warrant is
sued by a magistrate upon an affidavit
particularly describing the house or
place to be searched and the things
to be searched for, alleging substan-
TALLY the Offense in relation thereto
and that the affiant believes and has
good cause to believe that such liquor
is there concealed for unlawful pur-
poses.
The law which is now referred to
the voters is one passed by our leg
islature in 1919. The wet forces got
the required 5 per cen of the voters
to petition a referendum. Now it will
be necessary for a majority of the
voters to vote for the law to put il
into force. 1t is a law which will hurt
no one who wants to be decent and
law abiding. Vote Yes" and thus
say you want Our laws enforced.

| shall vote for Mr.. Norbeck for

personal association with him during
three terms of service in the state

AS chairman of the state affairs

was an earnest and efficient officer
who always placed principle and the
welfare of the people above personal
and party interest.

Why | shall vote the republican
ticket. The democratic party is es-
sentially a sectional party, the party
Of the South. No one will deny that
the South is the least progressive
section of our whole country. We
need the party in power that will leg
islate in accord with the progressive
ideas of the West and North and in
the interest of the whole nation. This
is the one main reason why | am a re-
publican.
| shall vote for Norbeck for sena-
tor for his record as governor JUST
fes me in the belief that he will be
equally active in behalf of beneficial
legislation for our state and the ma.
ton in the United States senate. Be
ing a very busy and active man Gov
ernor Norbeck has made mistakes, but
| can overlook these because of the
greater things he has stood for and
accomplished.
Further, l am going to vote for Nor
beck for the reason | believe that the
republican party will best promote
the interests of the nation, and feel
ing assured as l do Of the election
of a republican president, I could not
consistently vote against Norbeck.
If a republican president is to ac-
complish what | want to see him &C
complish, it would be folly for me TO
help elect a congress not in accord
with him. Our experience during the
past two years with a president be-
longing to one party and a majority
Of congress to another, is such as 70
warn me Of the folly if l am to hope
for the accomplishment of needed
legislation.
Again, | am satisfied that the re-
publicans are just as much in favor
of the establishment of ~effectual and
permanent peace as are the demo
Gratis, although leading democratic
politicians would have us believe
otherwise, and l believe that through
the election Of a republican president
and a republican congress, a league
or association of nations to which we
can all agree will soon be adopted.

part to elect a republican president

Being a loyal republican and intend
ing TO support Warren G.. Harding for
the presidency, | want to see him
have a free hand by having a senate
that Will back him heartily during his
administration, therefore | am going
to support and work for the election
of Peter NOrbeCk for United States
senator from this state. From per
sonal knowledge and observation |
believe him to be eminently fitted
for that Office, having had occasion
to become familiar with his work in
the state senate during the two SEES
sions of the legislature which | at
tended as a member. Mr.. Norbeck
is a native son Of South Dakota, a
successful business man, an able leg
~islator, a competent administrator
and should be heartily supported by
every loyal republican.

Governor Norbeck for United States
senator appeals to me | believe that
those Of us who desire the election
of Harding for president should be
equally as interested in having a ma.
jority Of the United States senate in
harmony with him, otherwise desired
results cannot reasonably be expected.
The senate is extremely close
and right here in South Dakota, the
supporters of Senator Harding have
an opportunity Of making a net gain
favorable to his policies by the cleo
ton of Governor Norbeck. The con-
test admittedly is between Norbeck
and Cherry, who is opposed to Hard
ing. No one claims that Dick Rich
ards, independent, or Tom Ayres, non
partisan have a chance; therefore a
vote for either of them amounts to
half a vote for Cherry. | most sin
cerely urge all Harding supporters
to vote for Governor Norbeck.

shall support the republican ticket
this fall not simply because of my
party utilization, but also because
believe a change in governmental af-
fairs is highly necessary. There is
a general feeling that there should
be a return to constitutional govern
ment wherein the executive and legis-
lative departments will work together
for the general good.
| feel also that it would be idle folly
to elect a republican president and
fail to elect a congress which would
cooperate with him in all desirable
ways.
For this reason, if no other, l shall
support Peter NorbeCk for United
States senator; however, from close
personal observation for years | can
frankly say that Gov. Norbeck is one
of our truly great men and will do
US honor and credit in the senate.
He is a native son of South Dakota,
educated in our schools and univer-
sity as well as being a graduate of
the University Of Hard knocks.
He knows this people, their needs
and aspirations. He is an acknowl-
edged leader of sound progressive
thought and action. He is honest,
fearless and energetic.
AS a governor he has been a ire
mendously busy man with high ideals
and great initiative.
He has always given full support to
prohibition legislation and earnestly
advocated woman suffrage. The lead
ers in these great reforms are heartily
supporting him.
He has enemies, but it may be said
of him as Of another great imam:
1--WE love him for the enemies he has
made" Brookings county should
again give him a rousing majority.

the president belongs to n party

The above, however, is not my main
reason for supporting Peter Norbeck
for senator, but Mr.. Norbeck stands
for legislation which is beneficial for
the many in our state instead Of for
the few.
Mr.. Norbeck has administered the
affairs Of our state as governor in a
very efficient manner, and | believe
he has been instrumental in having
enacted more sane legislation, which
has been beneficial to our farmer
