World’s Fair plan left to South Dakota people
Governor in Pierre on March 22 states the Business Men's Association cannot feasibly appoint a county by county advocate for World’s Fair funding. He will inform county boards before April and asks each county to appoint a one person committee to pursue action with the commissioners. If funds appear he will name a South Dakota World’s Fair commissioner.

The article notes Governor Herreid’s earlier requisition for J. H. Stover and John Howard Jones of Illinois over school chart cases. Illinois Governor Yates then sought E.
