FEE SECTION WON'T STAND
Candidates Will Not be Required to
Pay a Fee to Come Before
the People for Votes.

When the socialists and the pro-
hibitionists desired to nominate a
state and county ticket they found
that they would have to encounter
a heavy expense under the fee sec
ton of the primary law. They felt
that their rights had been abridged
when they we're required to put up
such an amount of money to enjoy
the privileges of an American citizen
and make it impossible for the hum
blest citizen to aspire to Office. There
was much of the same feeling among
the leaders in the other parties of the
state that the section was a barrier
% a mans becoming a candidate for
office without placing an Unnecessary
! burden on him.
The socialists first carried their
case to the circuit court, where the
Judge upheld the fee section. The
case was then carried to the supreme
court and a decision has just been
handed down by Judge Dick Haney
holding that the fee section as relates
! to county offices is unconstitutional
The opinion has not been given out
in full yet, but it is understood thai
the opinion of the court will cover
the nominations for state offices.
The fee section was II of the in.
consistencies of the primary law ano
it is a just ruling that makes the fee
section null and void on requiring
person tn pay for the privilege of be
coming a candidate.

Mr.. DowDELL SPOKE
Artesian Democratic Politician Spoke
to Members of the Bryan
Lee Club Monday.

Monday evening at the city hall
Robert Emmett Dowdell, of Artesian.
sopke to the membership to the Bry-
an-Lee club which held a meeting for
the purpose of completing the organi-
Zation of the club.
While the audience which greeted
Mr.. Dowdell was not large it was en-
thusiastic and applauded his state
ments with much he%artiness. He
was introduced by w. T. LaFollette,
and the speaker at once launched into
a very interesting political address
from his standpoint. He c~oncentrat-
ed most of his argument on the tariff
issues and the trusts of the country.
He insisted on a revision of the tar
if and that the duty be taken off
completely of all trust-controlled ar
ticles. He criticised the republican
senate for not taking action sooner
on the revision of the tariff and
thought they had no right whatever
to delaying the work when the coun-
try was in such need of it. He criti-
cised the President because he failed
take action on the revision of the
tariff, as Mr.. DoWdell held that he
agreed to do if congress failed to pass
any such measure. He said he could
understand why the republicans die
not want to attack the tariff until at
ter election, that is from their poin'
of view, but he did not think any &C
ton taken now would result in thu
least injury to the party now in pow
er.
Mr.. Dowdell put the trusts on tn
grill and warmed them to Il ricl
brown color, seemingly not under
standing that the President has bee
taking the initiative in disturbin;

A BRILLIANT ACTRESS
Blanch Walsh Gave a Magnificent Pre-,
sentation of Her Character in
s'Ths Kreutzer sonata.nl

The misgivings that permeated a
goodly portion of the theatre-goine
people of this city that Miss Blanche
Walsh would not appear with her
company and that an understudy
would be substituted were not
warranted, for Miss Walsh was here
in person and delighted her auditors
with some magnificent dramatic
work. "The Kreutzer Sonata" is a
drama, the character Of which brings
into play a peculiar %adaptability OF
an actress, and Miss Walsh had All
the necessary equipment to give tho
character a presentation that aroused
the enthusiasm of her auditors. Tho
scenes as portrayed by this brilliant
exponent Of the dramatic art were
exciting, and at times the deep
despair into which she was plunged
through the action and story of tho
drama moved many people to tears.
The character is one tnat is seldom
seen on the stage and its inJerpreta-
tion Is one that must have a deep con-
ceptlon of the part. At the end Of
| the second and third acts Miss Walsh
received two curtain calls as the
people gave the heartiest evidence
OF her clever and painstaking work.
The closing act Of the drama brings
out its fiercest part, where Mise
Walsh has been tortured by the love
and admiration that her husband has
given and lavished on another
woman, and finally a just r%etribution
is given the culprits when the OUT
ragged wife shoots them both and:the
curtain falls on the action Of the
play. Miss Walsh had an exception
ally good supporting company and
they worked in harmony to bring
out tie strong points with excellent
effect. The scenery vas adapted to
the play and gave it added interest.
1t was to be regretted, however.
that a larger audience was not PRES
ent to see the effective work of this
actress.

dent, and r. ID. WEIGH was elected
secretary. The other officers will be
named at a later meeting.
Perhaps an hour was spent in get
ting the assembled democrats to sign
the petitions of state candidates on
the democratic ticket, particularly
those of Mr.. Dowdell and Andrew
Olson, of Deadwood, for congress-,
and Andrew E. Lees petition for
governor. They thought they could
ave a good deal of time with the
democrats all there than by hunting
them up over the city and county.
Another meeting of the club will
be held some night next week, which
will be duly announced.

on confession of faith. The services
have been very successful and the
evangelist has made many friends.
The number of accessions to the

two weeks. The good accomplished
by the special effort has been incalcu-

FOR STATE Superintendent

NJ. Nj. Kramer, of the City Schools
Announces Candidacy for
State Superintendent.
To the Republican Voters of South
Dakota:
At the solicitation of Il large num-
Der of the leading educators of the
state, ] hereby place my name be-
fore the Republican voters of the
state for their consideration at the
June primary for nomination to
the office of State Superintendent of
Public Instruction.
This solicitation has come from so
many quarters that | deem it a call
which | ought not longer resist.
When a MAJ asks this considera-
ton, the voters have a right to know
his platform, therefore, l make a
statement of my political creed as
follows:
First. The efficiency of a proper
ly constituted public school system,
in promoting the interests Of a COM
monwealth, Intellectually, morally,
and commercially has been demon
strated beyond controversy. To i'm
prove and develop this system then
becomes a work of the very highest
grade and character.
Second. The State Superintend-
ent Of Public Instruction is vitality
the head of this system, SO ordered
by both the constitution and stat
utes. His duties are solely to fos-
ter, elevate, better and enlarge the
efficiency of this system. 1t is only
the part of good business manage
ment, as we'll as sound public policy,
to seek the largest and most valua-
BILE returns from the aggregate of
our investment for the support, and
upbuilding of III school system.
Third. Without reservation, i
state that 1 shall have no other am
bition than to accomplish this end
so far in me lies, should I be nom
mated and elected to this most i'm
portant post of public duty.
Fourth. 1t is only fair to state that
1 believe in the present President OF
the United States as the greatest
exponent of human liberty since the
days of Abraham Lincoln, that I am
in sympathy with the campaign OF
Secretary Taft, and that 1 am es.
sentially a stalwart.
AS an educator with no other mo.
tive than to do the greatest service
for my country and state, by bringing
to the youth of the state the best
possible means to receive the train.
ing necessary for complete living, ]
place my name before the public
without serious concern as to the
result no matter which way 1t ma,
terminate. Respectfully
