Gumaliel Bradford. after promising the
Massachusetts Democratic state COM
mittee a check for $500 the day after
he gets the joyful tidings of his nomi-
nation for the governorship, proceed
ed to explain why he didn't offer a
larger contribution. The rest of the
money" he Is quoted as saying, Il
want to spend myself" The story is
credible He said a week ago that he
could make dollar go much further
in the campaign and get much better
returns from It than the committee.
His faith in Gamaliel Bradford and
printers ink Is unbounded his faith
in ordinary campaign methods is
strictly limited. We avail ourselves ot

ing more than ample for the needs OF

tie village Of $500 or 1000 inhabit-
ants. The I2.foot pavement, however
was put In. The council wanted II 30
or 81: their street is 100 feet wide
with 10 feet on each side additional ~
u ason of the buildings being set
back. a light fall OF snow shortly att
81 the pavement was finished showed
very nicely the width OF pavement
they really required. Three days after
that snow fall ! took the council over
that street. and all Of the traffic that
had passed over IL could have been
handled worry nicely on 32.fDnc

broken. excepting where q pedestrian

the main street Is 80 feet wide. They
have something like mile of street
paving under contract and the width
settled upon Is is feet for streets
which have little travel and no teams
hitchcd on them and "a feet and 20
feet on the business street. Thus far
II has been found that these widths
arc ample. an. the paving has been

often made by property owners Of
raving a street Tor 80. 40 or 80 feet

and new address to postoffices where he
had been, at occasions Of engage; but
something has slipped. l have thought
IL possible that some of his letters not re-
turn-niarked may have come to you, or
that he may have written to you to in

SOLDIERS LAND CLAIMS.
Gen. James Il. Campbell to Consult
with Secretary Hitchcock.

conference between Secretary Hitch
cock and Gen. James r. Campbell, of
Illinois, will be held some time next week
to arrange a plan whereby the volunteer
troops who served in the Philippine Isl
ands will have special opportunities for
settling on the strip OF land to be opened
to home-seelsers in Oklahoma. General
Campbell was formerly member of Con-
gress. but accepted commission in the
volunteer army at the outbreak OF the
war with Spain. He was sent to the
Philippines and served almost three
years, having been mustered out last
month with the rank of brigadier general.
Many of the troops In his former com
mand were DESTROYS Of securing homes on
the public land to be opened for settle
mont, and General Campbell volunteered
TO press their claims TO special recogni
ton before the Interior Department. The
homestead law provides that five years
actual residence must be spent on land
taken VI before clear title is given the
settler Honorably discharged soldiers or
sailors are given an advantage over the
civilian settler. in that the time served in
public service is deducted from the FIVE
years residence. There was some ques-
ton as to whether this modifying pro-
vision applied to the soldiers no served
in the Spanish war and the Philippine in
surrection.
General Campbell was Of the opinion
that the law applied to all persons who
had served in the army or navy. and that
the term Regular Army was not speci-
fed In order that there may be no doubt
