A fragmentary column laments reformers with long fingers and short memories. It notes fashion notes, US coin inscriptions, tax examples, and a lengthy critique of the Crawford political machine, contrasting insurgents, Taft, LaFollette, and public opinion in a storm of blunt rhetoric.
Excerpted text accuses the Banner-News of misrepresentation regarding a Sioux Falls area state central committee vote at Mitchell, claiming the meeting at Huron was misreported and that a Taft endorsing resolution faced opposition from the stalwart faction. The piece cites a counter narrative about Emerson and Kittridge and references a Hamlin Wartime veteran backer's resolution.
In Yinkten, Mr Dilon presents a substitute resolution nearly mirroring the original but with a Blilional clause praising Mr Crawford and his oilidsey. The stalwarts fail to strike Crawford, Taft support claimed, insurgents refuse to mut, and the vote collapses amid cross party resistance.
The White Rock Journal reports on a congressional record excerpt detailing land fraud in Walworth County South Dakota. Coe I Crawford hired local youths to file homesteads and later transferred them for 10 dollars each, with Crawford paying their expenses and giving them 100 dollars each. The piece notes the investigation by the United States Government and stresses no political motive, inviting readers to inspect the full record in the office.
Farm land sought in Sisseton South Dakota in exchange for a first class house 140 by 200 feet with a large barn granary and chicken coop. Trade proposed with McNalty and Carpenter for city property or farmland in the region.
