EX-GoVERNoR ALLEN, made it one
of the strong points in his political
speeches, last fall, that all he possessed
"was the soil that God had made" 1t
turns out that his possessions in that
direction are not as honestly obtained
as they might be. The heirs of Dun
can Macarthur have commenced suit to
eject Allen from his farm near Chilli
cothe, and compel him to account for
all rents and profits of the estate. 1t is
claimed that Duncan Macarthur, who
died in 1919, was a man of great wealth,
made will bequeathing all his wife
and VIM. Key, to hold in trust until
his youngest grandchild should become
of age, when it was to be divided
among all the heirs. The will was set
aside, and large portions of the estate
came into POSSESSION of Mrs. Coons,
daughter of Macarthur, who aiterward
married Governor Allen. The princi-
pal contestant having become of age
has instituted suit with Others to le-
cover. Should the decision be adverse
to Gov. Allen it will take nearly all his
property and fortune to satisfy the
heirs.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CUES
TION.
Hon. l.. DanfOrd SuccuInbs 10 the
Pressure.

The Congressional succession in the
18th District which has been agitating
the BOhemians, for several weeks past,
has been probably settled. Our present
member Hon. l.. DaDford has been
understood by those who most inti-
mately know him to be wholly averse
to nomination for third term; be
has been appreciative OF the distin-
guished honers conferred upon him by
the people of his district, yet he does
not appreciate the commonly accepted
theory of Congressman's life, who
does his duty, as being one of "luXGr-
iou5 ease, and magnificent idleness." "
1t is an arduous and toilsome life, more
full of drudgery and harassing cares,
than of honor and emolument.
During the past year he has availed
himself of every proper occasion to ex-
press to his friends and through them
to the public his desire to retire from
Congress at the close of the present
term. 1t is apparent now, that the
people have concluded that they should
have the right TO say whether Mr..
Danford shall serve them for another
term, or Otherwise,-that their finding
should be final and that he should fore
go any desire on his part, and acquiesce
in their decision.
The people Of the 10th District recog-
nize in our present Congressman. a pru'
dent, vigilant and watchful public SER
vant-a man OF probity, integrity and
uprightness, unbought, unstained and
incorruptible, and hence the popular
clsmor, that he shall return to repre-.
sent them. The exigencies of the times
demand men Of his class, and they
mast answer the bohests of the popu
lace.
This universal cry for his re-nomi.
nation, has reached through hundreds
and thousands of letters, from men in
every station of life in the district, Mr.
Danford, at Washington, and to these
have been added earnest solicitations
of probably every man who has been
spoken of as aspirants for his place.
In consideration of the universal de-
sire and the immense pressure upon
him, he has concluded to yield to the
partiality of his constituents, and allow
his name to be presented at the ap-
preaching Congressional Convention.
We make this statement on the best
authority, and with the satisfaction OF
knowing that the action of Capt. Dan
ford will be universally commended.

serves: "The Democratic party must
