South Dakota members Of the legislature
Some who have been in the caucuses from
| the beginning say the bill is not
| yet drawn and the point not agreed
! upon, but it will be tonight. The majority
are determined TO remove the capital, even
/ If they have to remove it to jamestown, Of
even Mandan, in order to get votes from
North Dakota to help to do it as a protest
against the capital commisson. The organic
act of the territory, however, requires the
| concurrence of the governor in the capital
location, and if the removal interest has the
majority claimed, the result will be governed
by the action of the governor. The inten-
ton of the most radical is to relocate the
capital, and then adjourn to that point The
subject is now open. and the members talk
freely, but differ somewhat in the statement
of their strength. All agree that they have
enough if the governor will approve the bill.
EX-Gov. Ordway is a locker on only, not
seeming to take any interest in the matter
He owns eighty acres ofland adjoining Pierre,
and said, when the capital was located at Bis
marck, that its location at Pierre would be
worth $4,000 TO him. 1t is not proposed to
permit the location chosen TO turn ever O
shove. Of dirt toward the erection of capitol
building, but to erect it at the expense of the
