Forecast as to Probable AppOintees

Executive and LegisIa-
tive Positions.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 16.-(Spe-
cial) -Now that the Republicans will,
commencing Jan. 1 next, be in complete
control of the state offices and patron
age, considerable speculation is being
INDUCED in as to who will be fortunate
enough to secure the various positions
which will be at the disposal of the
party.
Gov-EIect Herreid, upon assuming the
reins of state government the first of the
year, will, when the terms of the present
fusion members of the state board of
charities and corrections expire, of course
appoint Republicans to succeed them,
and when the Republicans obtain con-
troll of the board, which hos for more
than a year had fusion majroity, there
will be changes made in the warden
ship of the Sioux Falls penitentiary, the
state hospital for the insane at Yankton,
the state reform school at Plankinton
and other places.
For appointment to fill vacancies on the
state board of charities and corrections,
as the terms of the fusion members eX-
pire, two names have thus far been men
toned, w. J. Sibbison, of Dell Rapids,
and Capt. Dixson, of Sioux Falls. There
is no doubt that other candidates will
appear in the field before any changes
are made on the board.
For the wardenship of the Sioux Falls
penitentiary only one candidate has as
yet announced himself, in the person of
o. S. Swenson, of this city. Mr.. Sven
son is the chairman of the Republican
county central committee for Minnehaha
county, and the overwhelming victory
won by himself and fellow workers in
this, the home county of Senator Petit
grew, is advanced as the chief reason
why he should be given the penitentiary
WardCnShip
For superintendent of the state hospi-
tai for the insane at Yankton only one
name is mentioned, that of Dr.. L. c.
Mead, at present a resident of Sioux
Falls. For years, up to August of last
year, he was superintendent of the asy-
lum.
There is only one candidate for the SUI
perintendency of the state reform school
at Plankinton. c. w. Ainsworth, at pres
ent editor of the Plankinton Mail, would
like to secure the plum. For many years
he ably filled the position of superintend-
ent of the reform school
Albert G.. Somers, of Grant county.
who was speaker of the last house of
representatives, is a candidate for re-
election. The others who have thus far
entered the field to contest with him for
the honor of presiding over a body which
will be required to pass upon some of
the most important legislative matters
in the history of the state are Titus E.
Price, of Yankton county, and A. w.
Wilmarth, of Beadle
For chief clerk of the house two can
d1dates have announced themselves. The
competitors are Willis c. Bower of Law
renee county, and J. w Cone, of Min
nehaha.
Ira d. Woodward, of Roberts county.
is q candidate for election to the position
of chief engrossing clerk of the house.
j. II. Wilson, of Fall River county, has
also announced his candidacy for cleo
ton to the position of assistant sergeant
alarms.
There is also a good deal of discussion
IN reference to the various federal posi-
tons throughout the state. So far as the
positions of United States marshal for
South Dakota and the United States at
torneyship are concerned, the present
OCCUPANTS, e. G. Kennedy of Eureka
ana n; u. Elliott, of Tyndall, will doubt
less, when their terms expire. secure re-
appointments.
