ASPIRING VETERANS.
CANDIDATES FOR COMMANDER IN
CHIEF OF THE GRAND ARMY.

Colonel Ballou of Rhode Island and Colo
mel Linehan of New Hampshire Already
I'm the Field-Belief That an Eastern
Man Will Be Elected.
The annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic is to be held at
st. Paul next September, and a COM
mander in chief is to be elected to sue
coed Commander Ivan N Walker, who
now holds the Office. AS the west has
been honored for two years in success
sion, Commander Walker coming from
Indiana and Commander Law1er from
Illinois, it is generally conceded that
an eastern man will be selected this
time. Already two eastern candidates
are in the field, and others will doubt
less come to the front before long.
One of the most prominent men yet
mentioned for the office is Colonel Dan
iel r. Ballou, who is past commander
Of the department. of Rhode Island and
one Of the most active as we'll as infu-

He has the official backing and indorse-
ment of his state, and the department.
council of Rhode Island recently appoint
ed a committee to manage his campaign.
Colonel Ballou enlisted in 1862 as a
private in the Twelfth Rhode Island
volunteers and served with his regiment
in the Ninth army corps under Burn
side in the Army Of the Potomac. His
regiment was conspicuously engaged in
the battle of Fredericksburg, and Mr..
Ballou was in the thickest of the fight
ing. Afterward, during the Kentucky
campaign in 1868, he saw lot Of active
service and was promoted to a lieuten-
ancy for his services in the field. On his
return home he was commissioned as a
colonel of one Of the regiments then or,
gained in expectation of further active
service. The war came to a close, how
ever, before his regiment was called to
the field.
In civil life Colonel Ballou has been
prominent for many years. He is law
yer by profession and one of the leading
members of the Rhode Island bar He
served for four years as member Of the
city council Of Providence, during two
years of which time he was president of
the board Of aldermen. He was clerk of
the county court for eight years and a
representative in the Rhode Island state
legislature for six years.
The department Of New Hampshire
also has a candidate. He is Colonel
John @. Linehan Of Penacook, who, as
past junior vice commander in chief, is
widely popular in Grand Army circles
He has the Endorsement Of his state Or
ganization and has been promised the
support Of many prominent members in
other states.
Colonel Linehan was born in Ireland
in 1910, but has been. a resident of New
Hampshire since boyhood. He has been
active in Republican politics since the
war and has held several municipal Of
fees in Concord. In 1875 he was one Of

part In the work of the Gettysburg
Memorial association. He is insurance
commissioner Of New Hampshire and
trustee Of the Loan and Trust bank Of
Concord
The present membership Of the Grand
Army is about $50, 1000. The first COM
mander in chief was Stephen A. Hurl-
but Of Illinois, who was elected at the
first national encampment, which was
held in indianapolis in 1866. He was
succeeded by General John A. Logan,
who was fairly idolized by the veterans,
and who served three terms. General
Burnside of Rhode Island followed To-
gan and served two terms Next came
Charles Devens Jr., Of Massachusetts,
who was afterward attorney general in
the cabinet Of President Hayes.
Among other prominent men who
have held the position are Russell A.
Alger of Michigan and the late Govern
ors Hartranft Of Pennsylvania and Lu-
cius Fairchild of Wisconsin. Since 1878
no commander in chief has served more
than one term
JOHN T. WILLOUGHBY.
Catch Crops.
Sorghum is an excellent crop for feed
ing green to COWS and pigs. Tt will pro-
duce twice as much forage to the acre as
corn, and it's higher content of saccharine
matter renders it more nourishing. Teo-
sinte is even more productive than sor-
ghum. It may be cut repeatedly through
the summer and will yield an astonish-
ing amount of forage. It is weak grow
er for the first two or three weeks, but
after that comes on rapidly. All these
forage crops, even millet, if cut perfect
~ green, can be fed to pigs with advan
tage, and there is no cheaper way to
make pork.
