WANT TO REBUILD CAPITOL
Story That Accounts for Mysterious
Opposition to Council Of Fine
Arts Plan,

Mysterious underground opposition to
the Council of Fine Arts legislation now
before Congress has developed. This is all
the stranger because openly the idea has
the support of practically everyone from
the President down. The influential
American Institute of Architects is COM
mitted to its support and one of its most
ardent advocates is Senator Root. The
legislation would bring all the architec-
tural work of the government under one
head, effecting thereby a considerable
saving, and would give the nation an
advisory council of celebrated architects
and artists. 1t is considered a wholly
public-spirited measure. There is a story
in circulation in Washington that the op-
position comes from one or more infu-
entail architects who hope to develop a
sentiment in favor of rebuilding the
Capitol and then secure the commission
A Fine Arts bill would, of course, block
any such scheme. The story has created
considerable stir.

The @ Issue,

If anything was lacking to convince
the public that the economy cry Of
the Stalwarts was a mere subterfuge
to disguise the real issue, it is sup
piled in the announcement of X. G.
Foster, ex-member Of the legislature
from Douglas Co. in 1907. Mr.. Foster
was a rival of Joe Parmley, present
Stalwart candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, for leadership Of the pro-
railroad forces in the Lower House.
Hence we have candidate for Governor,
candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
candidate for Commissioner of School
and Public Lands, candidates all
along the line, especially candidates
for the legislature In the various
counties who are dis%tinctively pro-
railroad men. The attempt to dis
guise the real issue in this campaign,
to-wit; Cannonism and Anti Corpor-
ate Domination, by the cry Of ex-
travagance and the presentation of
figures "tweedle de tweedle dunn" is
all arrant nonsense and very few are
deceived thereby. The question is
shall the old railroad dominion re-
turn to the state of South Dakota or
shall the people still continue to leg
islate in their own interest as has
been done during the last two sessions
by q Progressive Republican legisla-
ture.

HON. JOHN FIR
Progressive Republican Candi.
date For State Auditor.

Hon. John Bibelheimer of Walworth
county, is one of the young men OF
South Dakota who by sheer force OF
character and native ability has
worked up to a position Of distinction
and influence. He is a mar who is
fair and reliable in all of his dealings
and he holds the confidence and re-
spect of the rank and file republicans
in the state regardless Of faction.
Mr.. B%ibelheimer was born in South
ern Russia but emigrated to America
and settled in Walworth county in
this state in 1890. He received his
education at the State Normal school
at Madison and at the Sioux Falls
Baptist college. He was superintend-
emit Of schools in Walworth county in
1902 and was representative in the
state legislature in 1907 from that
county. He is now deputy state aud
itor in which position he has demon
strated that the interests of the
state will be ably administered and
we'll safe guarded If he receives the
nomination and election to the head
of the Office.
Mr.. Bibelheimer Is perhaps attacked
as little as any leading progressive re-
publican by the jealousies that grow
out of political rivalries.
Done great merit about his work is
that he gives all OF his time to the
duties of the office and growing out of
this fact a small coterie of Stalwart
stand -patters up in Walworth county
put forth the false statement that
Mr.. Bibelheimer has deserted his
home and taken up his residence at
Pierre and the unfair statement is
quoted and repeated from time to
time by the stalwart papers at Pierre
and around the state.
II Mr.. Bibelheimer should spend
wen a small part Of his time away
from the Capital, the anne stalwart
pettifoggers would whack him the
other way and make a hullabaloo
about his neglect OF his official duties.
That Is the two-faced kind of cam
paigning, that the stalwarts, in their
cowardly scheme Of lodging the true
issues, are putting up against pro-
gressive candidates in general.
The Capital-Journal sometime ago
stated that Mr.. Bibelheimer changed
his residence from Walworth County
to Hughes County when he swore in
his vote here last election. MI. Ribel
heimer says he called up the editor
and asked him to retract that state
ment because 1t was not true. Mr..
Bibelhetmer has never..voted nor tried
to vote here, and still retains his
residence In Walworth County. The
editor Of the Capital-Journa promised
to make the correction, but has failed
to doso, aud continues to:quote squibs

The editor of the LEADER ..extends
congratulations to Roy Warner and
his charming wife over their entry
into journalism and may they make the
Kodoka Reporter a power for good in
Stanley county. Mrs. Warner is a
graduate of this Office and a splendid
com position, and Mr.. Warner is in
every way qualified to meet the
editorial requirements Of the pro-
gressive west. May they have the
best the country affords and all the
pleasures Of journalism.
