now turns out that the Fayette and
Mefftser county comAiittess pursued
the Identical course followed in IA
nawha but the Scott papers have not
, said a word about their action. The
State Weekly published at Charles
ton, gives the followding version OF
the situation in Kanawha, Fayette and
Mercer:
Samuel Dixon, the Loup Creek ope-
/, rator is the leader of the Republican
party in Fayette county, while Isaac
4. Mann of Bramwell, occupies sim
liar position in Mevcer county, and in
the latter county Mann is chairman Of
the Mercer c9nutg Sopmm8tse.
Ever since the meeting Of the Kama.
wha county Republican copmittee, the
charlestops Mali 9wneq.bS4r. Dixon,
has continually attacked the Republi.
can party in Kanawha countyFbe-
icalss i did not five Senator Madam
Bay Scott an opportunity to use his
money in Kanawha county to corrupt
the primary. 2"
In Fayette county, the committee
met at Montgomery last Saturday and
called a primary for May 2l@the same
date as that in Kanawha-and adopt
ed the same call as adopted in Kama
wha county. The Fayette primary,
like that in Kanawha, is called under
the law Of 1891 and the names OF the
two candidates for United States SEN
ate are kept off the ballot, The Fay
cite committee is a large body, but
the primary election was left in the
hands of a Subcommittee Of ten.
Down in Mercer county, Mr.. Isaac
II. Mann presided over the meeting Of
the county committee, and the same
identical call for a primary was made
as was done in Kanawha county. The
Kanawha plan in every particular was
adopted by the Mercer committee. The
primary was called under the same
law; the names of the candidates for
United States senate we're left of the
primary ballot, and the identical reso-
luton appointing a subcommittee of
three to appoint the election commits:
sioners and clerks, was adopted.
In fact, the Fayette and Mercer
county committees adopted their call
for a primary after the call as pub.
lished for a primary election in Kama,
wha county. They copied the Kama.
wha call.
Although the committees in Fayette
and Mercer counties accurately follow,
ed the plan of Kanawha county in
holding a primary, has there been one
word Of criticism in the columns Of
the Evening Mall concerning the work
of Mr. Dixon in Fayete or Mr. Mann
In Mercer? II 1t was wrong to leave

DEDICATED TO
USE OF STATE.

u ut nder the auspices of the Odd Eel
Iaks' order of the state and in the
pesence of a great gathering of peo-
pie, from every quarter of the state,
the new capitol building was formal
ly committed into the hands OF the
commonwealth today.
Members of the order assembled at
the hall Of the local lodge and march
ed to the capital grounds, headed by
the state band and Company A., fol-
lowed by cavalcade.
Grand Marshal A. w. Ewert, Chap
lain Basford and Judge Whiting. who
as master of ceremonies directed the
exercises. The Fourth Regiment band
occupying the north balcony, opened
with a selection, after which Govern
or Vessey, as presiding officer of the
capital building commission, present
ed the building to the Odd Fellows
for dedication. Hon. o. S. Basford
chaplain Of the order, read the invo-
cation, followed by Judge Whiting,
who In an eloquent address accepted
the charge and took occasion to con-
graduate the capitol commission, the
governor, and people Of South Da-
kota on their beautiful and substan-
tial capitol.
The dedicatory address was de-
livered by DR.. A. B. Storms Of the
Iowa State college, and his was an
able effort. Governor Vessey was
the presiding officer.
The new state capital, dedicated to-
day, is surpassed in costliness of con-
struction and beauty of design and
finish by few among the capital build
lngs of the west. 1t has been on the
way to completion for the past two
years, and from dome to cornerstone
is without faint of graft.
