The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1902-12-19
MAKING OUT POLITICAL CASE
Erroneous Impression Given That
Politics Will Enter Into Cap
ital Removal.

A few DAYS ago an article was sent
from Sioux Falls for publication in
the Sioux City Tribune, which at
tempts to make it appear that there
was considerable politics mixed up
in the capital removal proposition.
The entire article is presented as
follows:
The capital fight is becoming acute
in South Dakota, and, with it, COM
plicatiOns are threatened in the poll
tical field. The removaiists are
watching Congressman Burke. They
say that he has a perfect right to use
his personal influence to retain the
capital at Pierre, and that in using
bis official position he is t~ranSgress-
ing the limit. Mr.. Burke, it is
claimed, has stated that he will use
all his personal and official influence
in favor of Pierre, and that influence
is o being brought to bear on
certain postmasters, who wish reap
pointment, and certain would-be
postmasters, who are hoping for ap-
pointment. The r%emovalists dread
Mr.. Burke. They recognize that
be was the chief factor in organizing
the legislatures Of 1899 and 1901. his
attitude in the latter session proyok-
ing a revolt in the lower house which,
under the name of Boxer move
ment, threatened to pass a resolution
favoring removal. In fact, the lower
house passed such a resolution. but
it was defeated in the senate by two
votes. Its defeat in the senate was
due to MI. Burke.
The r%emovalists say they forgave
Mr.. Burke for his activity in 1901,
and assisted in making his nomiDa-
tion for a third term, and that they
also loyalty assisted in giving him
his great majority in 1902. He is
now soon to enter on his third term,
and unless the removalists should 90
after his scalp he may represent
South Dakota congress indefinitely.
But there is a cloud on his horizon,
now bigger than a mans hand.

Removalists May Take Up Herreid.

1t is strongly limited by the re-
movaliStS that they will take up
Governor Herreid and make him a
candidate for congress in 1904. 1t is
known that the governor has SEN
atorial aspirations. His splendid in
dorsement by the voters Of South Da-
kota in two elections has caused his
friends, at least, to look for large
things for him. They do not like to
see him retired from the public SER
election. That will follow the cleo
tion of 1906, two years after Governor
Herreid'S second term will have eX-
pired. There is an unwritten law in
this state against third terms there
fore, there are those who favor fill
ing the gap by sending him to the
lower house of congress-, preparatory
to sending him as CANDLES success
sor to the senate.
On the capital question, the COVER
nor is discreetly non-committal. 1t
is known, however, that the so-called
machine is divided hopelessly. The
republican machine is composed of
Senator Kittredge. Governor Her.
reid, Congressman Burke, United
States District Attorney J.. D. FL
lott, United States Marshall Ken
nedy, G. J.. Mcleod and David Will
liams. Senator Kittredge and Cover
nor Herreid ale neutral. Congress
man Burke, Marshall Kennedy and
David Williams are lined up strongly
for Pierre while Attorney General
Elliott and G. j. Mcleod favor re-
moval. National Committeeman Joe
Greene is strongly for removal, but
he is offset by State Chairman Frank
Crane, who is now busy writing let
tiers to the members of the state cen-
trail committee, urging them to op-
pose all schemes for capital removal.
So the battle among the leaders is a
royal one, and it may be that the
clash of steel will be heard long after
the capital question is settled.

NORTH PARK MAY BE
ERECTED INTO COUNTY

The Pearl Mining Times suggests
that North Park be cut out of Larimer
county, Colorado, and made a county
of itself, with Walden as the county
seat. 1t says:
"A w of the Pearl district has
clearly demonstrated the fact that the
taxpayers of this section are unani-
mously in favor of a separate county
government for North park, and are
willing to cooperate with the citizens
OF the park and of Walden in getting
the measure through at the coming
session OF the legislature.
We also learn from reliable sources
that with n OF two exceptions, The
ranchmen of the park are anxious to
have the county divided and will make
a determined effort in hat direction.
1t is not too early to form plans and it
would be advisable to call meetings in
the several districts of the park and
complete arrangements for inaugural
ing a vigorous campaign with Sep
aration' as the watch-word."

Some of the Excuses,

This is what the Leader said of the
game:
THE game was well fought on both
sides and was gained by the Laramie
boys simply by their superior weight.
|: was understood in arranging the
game hat the two teams should play
with an average weight OF each side
of 1876 pounds. The Laramie team, &C
cording to Captain Yates, averaged 1855
pounds, while the Cheyenne team only
put in men to make their average 1876
pounds. according to agreement. But
for this understanding the Cheyenne
boys say they could have put in a much
heavier team. They claim that the
Laramie parties selected their heaviest
men in violation of their agreement,
which was to play at an average weight
OF 1877 pounds.
"Ofthe Cheyenne team c. W. Wolcott
had his shoulder dislocated. Harry
Riner and Max Lyons had ribs broken
but displayed splendid nerve and play
ed through the game.
THE Cheyenne team challenged the
Laramie boys for a return game at
Cheyenne on any kind of a proposition
but could not get them to accept an
other contest on any terms"

kindly hand this to them so that they
may communicate with me in regard
to a matter which may prove of benefit
to them, and result in their retaining
some land in Texas owned by their an
cestors at an early day?

U HOUSE NOTES.

Some misapprehension as to time of
the official changes at the court house
having manifested itself. The Republi-
can has been asked to quote section
1894 of the Revised Statutes on the
subject, as follows: The official year
of all county and precinct officers shall
commence on the first Monday of Jan
uary every second year, except as
otherwise provided by law"
Judge Bramel will have a roundup
of lawyers Thursday morning, at 10
o'clock, when the business of the pre-
sent term will be disposed of.
The mining case is still on trial be-
fore Judge Scott at the court house
and will not be concluded before to-
morrow.

A PRETTY GIRL

Naturally feels that she is entitled to
masculine ad airation.
Shows off best when she is trying to
be an agreeable companion.
Often creates adverse criticism by
taking on an air of superiority.
Sometimes finds herself neglected
when she most desires attention.
Will cause trouble in a social assem-
blage without being conscious Of
the fact.
Assumes a sort of matronly air when
approached by an admiring school
boy.
Takes unto herself prerogatives which
often make her associates fear for
consequences.
Il touched to the quick when a man
praises the other beauty.
Likes to make men believe she ia
above posing fer effect.
Has the satisfaction of knowing that
other girls secretly envy her
charms.
