IOWA SWAMP LANDS
Webster County Farmers Are to
Have a Hearing in Des Moines
I. Dec. /.
Lands Which They Say They Re
claimed May Be Taken from
Nkia!.l.ll Them.

Special to The Journal
Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 2.-Register T..
8. Howard of the United States land Of
flee here has set Dec. l as the date Of
commencement of the hearing in the land
contest between w. E. Moses and dozen
farmers in Webster county, involving $50
acres Of land, valued at from $40 to SIS
an acre.
The contest Is an interesting one. The
men now located upon the land settled
In 1850, taking the land from the county
as swamp land under what is known as
"the swamp land act" passed by congress
Sept. %. 1850. The act provided that any
piece of land which was half or more
swamp should be considered swamp land.
Just half century later the government
sent an agent to Webster county to adj
Just the swamp land claims. He was to
decide what had been swamp land fifty
years ago. A farmer might have eighty
acres of land, but this would have to be
considered as two pieces. If the one had
two thirds swamp land and the other but
one-third, the former would be held to
be swampy while the latter would not.
Much of the land was declared not to be
swampy, and on this Mr.. Moses, one of
the best known script brokers in the state,
filed soldiers additional right claims. He
was accordingly given patent.
The men in possession contend that the
land was swampy when they went on it,
but because of their drainage and tilling
1t has been made good for cultivation
They appealed to the land department for
a hearing, but We're turned down on the
ground that the governments agent had
decided what was swamp land. They car
ried the matter up to the secretary Of the
interior and he has ordered that they
have hearing and be given their rights

LENROOT LOOMS UP.
La Toilette Faction Said to Be
Boosting the Superior Man for
Governor.
Another Story Says He May Be
Chosen Lieutenant Governor
to Start With.

Superior, Wis, Nov. IA dispatch
from Milwaukee, in which Speaker Irvine
l.. Lenroot Of this city is prominently
spoken OF as a candidate for governor,
will stir up the politicians in this part Of
the state. Word comes from Milwaukee
to the effect that Lenroot is being con-
sidered by the la Toilette faction Of the
party as a possible gubernatorial candi-
date and that Governor La Toilette has
gone so far as to conf1de in friends that
he would like to see Lenroot come out as
the factional candidate for the republican
nomination.
Speaker Lenroot is supposed here to
have congressional aspirations, and, while
he has not announced his candidacy, those
on the inside consider that he will make
a strong bid for the place now held by
Congressman Jenkins. But the appear
ance of another La Toilette man, James A.
Frear of Hudson, leads to the belief that
Lenroot will be groomed by the La Toilette
forces for either governor or lieutenant
governor. It Is believed here that the
latter is more probable, the idea being
that If La Toilette could be elected United
States senator Lenroot could step into the
gubernatorial chair.
Lenroot has always been a strong La
Toilette man, and upon his reelection to
the assembly last session there was moth
ing to do for the La Toilette supporters
but that he should be elected speaker He
won a reputation for his work in the two
legislatures in which he has represented
one of the Douglas county districts.
H. Cut In Tax Levy. = =.
The school board will, without question,
tonight take UP the matter Of the cut In
the levy, and it is expected that a big
one will be made. This will be due to the
fact that the supreme court holds that the
county board is required to make a levy
for city school purposes and both sides
will not make the levy The county board
Is required to do it, land SO the school
payers are making their annual fightshrdl
board will cut it's original levy.
The taxpayers are making their annual
fight to keep the levies down and to make
a low tax rate Of it, with the outlook that
