WHO SPILLED THE BEANSs ..
ASKS A SIOUX FALLS PAPER.

referring to a situation with re-
gard to the selection Of the chairman
of the democratic state committee, in
which James =. Bird of this city ap
pears to. have been one of the most.
prominent factors, the Argus Leader
of Sioux Falls prints the appended
report Editor.)
Somebody slipped a cog at the demo
cratic convention yesterday When
the committee on organization had
everything nicely creased and arrang-
ed to name John T. Heffron of Dead
wood, a young lawyer who is achiev-
ing a name for himself, as state chair
man the beans were spilled The
committee had voted 5 to in favor of
the Black Hills boy and two of the
minority. 1t is said, We're James E.
Bird. candidate for governor and
orville Rinehart, candidate for United
States senator.
Bird might possibly have been
placated, but Rinehart declared he.
would not stand hitched. Some one,
1t might have been an employee of the
Standard Oil company attempted to-
smooth out the wrinkle, but the
senatorial aspirant and the gubernato-
rial candidate made too strong a com.
bination to ignore, and knowing the.
propensities Of any normal democrat
assemblage, the party leaders hastily
took another tack
Having defeated Mr. Kelly in the
primaries and finding him not only a.
good loser but backed with consid-s
cradle non-partisan league strength
that was engaged in the republican
primaries in May, Rinehart readily
consented to the naming Of the Cotton
man. and Heffron, who was not pres
emit was sidetracked. The committee
thereupon reached an agreement"
which the convention, slyly eying the
Townleyites, shortly ratified.
