Republican Platform at Mitchell South Dakota 1896
The Mitchell capital Republican state platform declares faith in the St Louis Republican convention, praises President candidates William McKinley and Garret Hobart, and vows vigorous support for their election. It presses reform against public officer defalcations, endorses labor, arbitration between capital and labor, and calls for a tariff-conscious, fair regulation of transportation and railways, plus investigations into grain elevators and corporate power. Local item notes Col Holt in Watertown aiming to eradicate the saloon, with public caution and doctor testimonials for Chamberlain's remedies and Early Risers.
