TO SUCCEED JUDGE BARCLAY.
Half a Dozen Democrats Are Talked
OF M Likely to Enter


Jefferson City. Mo-, Jan. s.-(SpecialO The
politicians here are discussing the probable
resignation of Chief Justice Barclay from
tile supreme bench. the appointment of his
successor by Governor Stephens. and the
effect this will have in naming the Demo-
cratic candidates for supreme judge for the
November election. Those who claim to
know here say that Judge Barclay will
sign during the month to enter upon the
practice of law in st. Louis on February l.
Ee is TO be associated with Judge Nc
KeiGhan and William Watts. the firm name
being Mckeighan. Barclay t Watts. This
is the latest rumor which has reached the
state capital. and, coming from what is
considered a rather reliable source it is be-
heved by great many people here. Judge
Barclay has not been here since he moved
TO st. Louis, on December "a. and his abb
sence from the capital for so long period
at this time is considered evidence that he
will soon resign. 1t seems to be generally
understood here that Governor Stephens
Will name W. NJ Williams. Of Boonville, for
the vacancy should Barclay resign. Will
ians Is close political friend of Governor
Stephens.
He placed Stephens in nomination for
governor at the Jefferson City convention
in 1856. He is considered one of the ablest
lawyers in the state and he has record
appointment and does efficient work be-
fore the next Democratic convention Is
held, he will be a strong candidate to sue
ceed himself upon the bench. The supreme
court is gradually getting further behind
its docket, but should Williams demon
strate his ability to write sufficient num-
ber of opinions to help the court catch
ur with its docket. he will be a hard man
to beat for the nomination.
Among the other candidates mentioned
for the place there are Noah NJ. Given, of
IIarrisonville; George W. Barnett, of Sc
dalia: Henry NJ. kamey. of st. Joseph,
Judge Leroy b. Valiant, and City Coun-
Ramey came near defeating Judge Brace
in 1886. and this is considered his chief
strength. He will get a good support from
Northwest Missouri. Given is in South
west Missouri. and that section will stand
for him. Barnett will have the solid sup
port of the Seventh congressional district
behind him.. Valiant and Marshall will
contest for the st. Louis delegation. Judge
Valiant has not been here much for
several years and hence he is not well
appeared for st. Louis in a number OF i'm
portant cases in the supreme court. In
these he has generally been successful. He
Is considered good worker and an able
lawyer. Since the resignation of Judge
Harclay would leave St. Louis without i
is believed that IL Marshall can carry st.
Louis city he will become at once lead
ing candidate in the race. St. Louis has
about one-third of the business transacted
by the supreme court and hence it is
argued that st. Louis should have at least
ere supreme judge. and that City Coun-
selor Marshall might be their proper and
logical representative.

OPPOSES ARID LAND BILL.
Report Unfavorable to Scheme for
Giving States All the
Arid Land.

Washington, Jan. s.-Commissioner Her
mann, of the general land Office, has pre-
pared an adverse report on the house bill
providing for the granting to the respective
states of all the arid lands within their
areas upon condition that the land shall be
reclaimed for agricultural purposes by the
states. The report sets forth that. under
the Carey act of 1894. congress made grants
to the states wherein arid lands are situat-
ed not exceeding 1000. 600 acres to each, and
up to this time but few of the states have
benefits Of the law. The states which have
taken limited areas are: Wyoming. 1907
acres; Montana, 1862 acres: Idaho, 5000
acres: Utah, %. .143 acres, and Washington.
s., 4A acres.
In place Of the bill proposed. the commits
sioner expresses the opinion that the Carey
law should be so amended as to extend o
more satisfactory guarantee to capital as
an inducement to invest in the reclamation
OF arid lands under the law: but he disap-
proves of the effort to enlarge the quantity
OF lands which can now be acquired by the
states.
