situations contain such recognitions Of

Jas. J. Davidson, of sw~edesboro,
fathered The stone road law and for
three years lie and others have endeav-
ored to procure one for that town but
they have had as hard IA time to get it
as the hardness OF the kind OF road they
want to get. They got their petition
all in legal shape and then had to get a
writ from the Supreme Court to com.
pell the Gloucester County Board of
Freeholders to grant their petition.
Now they are blocked again. Edward
Burrough, President of the State Board

approve their survey and specifications,
as the appropriation is exhausted.

A Sharp Discussion Batween Cooper
and Grill.
The Press and Dakotan gives the
following account of Senator Cribs
speech in Yankton. 1t will be of inter
est to our readers:
Senator Grill OF Union county, the
next speaker, talked about the last
state legislature, of which he was a
member. And he said too much, be-
cause he got his foot in it clear up to
his ears. In the course of his remarks
he alluded to the appropriation bill
passed in 1928. He condemned the
measure as ~eXtravagant and Il burden
to the tax payers. Charles W. Cooper
of Huron, who was clerk Of the senate
in that session, happened to be in the
hall and he sem Mr.. Grill a note asking
him to explain his vote on that bill.
Mr.. Grill explained by saying the pop
ulistS voted against it, and after con-
Guiding his remarks he stepped down
to see Mr.. Cooper. They, with Sol
Wenzlatf, went over on Third street
to discuss the matter, and Mr.. Cooper
disputed Mr.. Crilrs statement as to
the vote OF the populists very fatty.
Mr.. Grill offered to get aIfidavits to
snow how he voted, but Mr.. Cooper
suggested taking the record for it.
Didn't we vote against the adoption
OF the conference report on that bill?"
asked Mr.. Grill.
Il don't know. | was not Il member
of that committee. But ! do know
that you did not vote against the pas
sag" of the appropriation bill, as You
stated in the hall, and the senate jour
nal will prove it," answered Mr..
Cooper.
"Wcll, isn't that e !u;volentto voting
against the bill?" tsked the Union
county statesman.
mol" Not by a long shot!' Not
muvhce!" came in shouts from the
crowd. which had by this time assem-
bied.
Ii was finally agreed that the records
should b" consulted for further infor-
nation, and Mr.. Grill was escorted to
