one. We insisted on a square deal
tor,Judas once and know now
that because of his peculiar moral
fibre he could never be connted
on for a like stunt. And, besides
we fear no club even if it be a
land office register's public pat
ronage cudgel, For registers come
and registers go, but the Lem
mon Herald proposes to keep
right on being read. And, when
all else is said and done, we still
think a land office register has so
luch to do that he can ill afford
to waste Uncle Sam's time orga
nizing campaigns against them
that -mean well by a man that
is willing to mind his own busi
ness.
When Dr. Phelps, candidate
for state senator, was shuvwi a
certain newspaper article, re

pulled off his coat, roiled up his
oieeve, and, pointing u a scar on
nis upper arm, said, "here I've
got the proofs that the news
papers that say that, are vicious
liars. And, I've got two more
sucr proofs on my body to show
that my loyalty to my countrv
has been proved in blood, and

BealtKing that the vast majority of
the plain republican voters of the
state are determined to elevate Ceorge
\V. Egan to the office of governor, the
bosses are making a last desperate ef
fort to defeat Mr. Egan and retain
their grasp on the state. In tl ese ef
forts they have resorted to the .actlcs
of the political assassin and have re*
ur rev ted an alleged ''record" of Mr.
Egan.conveniently forgetting that the
so-called "charges" contained in the
i
"record" were fully and effectually
exploded and proven a tissue of false
hood* diirning th© campaign of two
years ago.
Two years ago the bosses circulated
thi« alleged '"record" in an effort to

result? Will the Signal explain
how it is that so many friends of
this paper are turned down when
personal and professional
record was unblemished that they
came so near nominating liiui to the
offlce of governor that the bosses have
not yet recovered from the shoe This

in the state
Had the bosses two years ago been
a little more diligent in ciici latina
the alleged "record" of Mr. Egan.
Mr. E/an would have been noniated
to the office of governor bv an over
whelming plura itv. The circi lation
of the alleged "record" at that time
made votes for Mr. E^an, ir every
voting precinct of the state.
The same s proving to be ti e case
in the present ampaign. there being
tittle doubt that the circulation of the
exploded and di«.|»ri\«-d co -d" by
the bosses in this campaign is mak­
ing
votes everv day or Mr. Egan. By
the time the primary election is held
these last-ditch tactics of the bosses
will have added many thousands to
the vote by which Mr. Esran on June4
will be declared the republican nom
inee .'or the ottice ofgovernor. A cam
aign of personalities can only result
to the benefit of Mr. Egan.
That he will sweep the state by
one of the largest pluralities ever
given a republican nomin«efor gover
nor in South Dakota is the en ph&tic
opinion of all disinterested observers.
The feeble and disgraceful eff rts of
the bosses to defeat Mr. Egt n will
prove unavailing.
Bonesteel—Atr.ire that the Rose
bud country is goingto go for George
W Egan almost unanimously, the
bosses, in their desperation, again
are circulating the alleged "r cord"
of Mr. Egan, which was first n ade to
1o service in thecampaign agai istMr.
Kgan two years ago, and which at that
time was proven to consist of a tissue
of absolute falsehoods. The '"r-icord"
if such it may be called will tve no
influence on the Egan sunporters' and
on the other hand, is gaining new
support from thos-e who believ( in th*
'Square deal" and do not app -ove of
character assassin methods in politics.
Winner—Efforts toinjurothe stand
ing of George W. Egan with the voter
of this part of the Rosebud country
have fallen flat. Since the alleged Egan
"record" was sprung by his oppo
nents—the bosses—he has been gain
ing votes steady, as the voteis gen
erally look upon the methods of th
bosses as being very unfair.
Sioux Kails Special: Reports of
the most encouraging character con
cerning the candidacy of George VV.
Egun, 'he aiiti l.oss candidiate for
governor of &outh Dakota, continue
to he received from every voting pre
cinct in the state. The great increase
Kgan sentiment over the state shows
no abatement, and there is r.ot the
slightest doubt that he will win the
nomination at the primary election
hands down The bosses have been
unable to make any headway against
this popular choice of the piain peo
ple, and in confidence admit that
George W. Egan will be a winner in
June. A victory to George W. Egan
will mean an end to machine and hois
rule in South Dakota, and when he
assumes the office in January next
the office will be conductfd in the sole
interest of the grert mass of common
People. The bosses and there hench
men, who have been sucking the life
blood of the state will be without an
occupation.
R. 0. Richards Talks Tuesday
O Richards. the original pro

st?te and now a candidate for United
State .Senator will speak at Lemmon
at Opera House, Tuesdav after-noon
at 2:30 o'clock, on legal party gov
ernment as the first step neci ssary to
ward accomplishing an educational
i primary election system to subordi
nate the candidate idea to the devel
opment of science in government by
creating an acute issue on some one
public question within each party, n

it is now, we have an unseemine inde
pendent contest between candidates
over personalities from county offices
to the presidency--a spectacle "nbe-
COmiug our American institutions.
Mr. Richards in advocatnghis pro
posed primary law, has received more
abuse and ridicule than any other
person in the state by scheming poli
ticians. bnt he is still "sawing wood'
