The machinery of the peoples state
government for South Dakota was set in
motion on January 5th. at 11:5O a. NJ,
when Gov. Lee and the state officers-elect
were sworn in by Chief Justice Corson in
the presence of a distinguished audience
in the governors room at the capital.
1t was new departure, 1t was Jefferson
ian simplicity itself, and a fitting and a
becoming introduction of Governor Lee
to the people of the state. Governor Lee
is a representative citizen of an honest,
industrious people, who by a ma
jority of their votes, have asked him to
give them clean, honest business ad-
minlstration, and they will not be disap-
pointed. The scene in the governors Of
flee when Chief Justice Corson appeared.
accompanied by Governor Sheldon, was
in striking contrast to the glory and
pomp of public ceremony, heralded by
the blare of political trumpets so common
in these degenerate days of thriving plu-
tocracy. A number Of Governor Lees
political friends and the friends of the
state officers-elect were invited to witness
the simple ceremony OF placing a peoples
governor in power. There were about
eighty ladies and gentlemen present, and
the following list comprise those who
came under the LEADERS eye. Close to
the governor on his left stood Private
Secretary Ayres, then in half circle fac

officers Then came Senator Kyle Judge

and Linn, and of the free silverites,
Chairman U. S. Grant Cherry, and the
handsome and dashing John Bowler rep

The striking portrait of his Holiness
Pope Leo XIII which appears on this
page is from a Photographic copy of
painting by August B.nziCer, an artist
for many years domiciled in Paris, bat
who at present occupies studio in New
York.
This portrait is from painting OF his
Holiness, the groundwork of which was a
skeicn from life made by NJ. Benziger in
The Vatican at Rome little more than
two years ago.
What makes this picture rare and
unique is the fact that il is the only one
IN existence which portrays his Holiness
exactly as he is-or was a little VII le ago.
