Washington, Dec. 20.-The candidacy
Of Governor Van SAINT for United States
senator in Minnesota has caused the
political gossips in this city to recall
the visit which he made to the presi-
dent several weeks ago in company
his urgent recommendation to the pres

Cummins and also by Governor La Fol

sible for the latter to come to Wash.

mitted his argument to the president
by letter.
It may be said that the visit of the
governors did not have anything to do
with making up the president s mind.
When the visit took place the message
The president, however, listened with

SELBY CARRIES

Walworth County, S. D., Building
Moved Piece by Piece Across

Bangor Offers No Resistance to
eliminating Act of Fierce
County Seat War.
Special to The Journal.

SpVSA"A .
Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. 29.-Citizens Of
Selby have carried out their threats to
tear down and remove the Walworth
county courthouse from Bangor. They
took the roof and top story yesterday
and will take the remainder today.
The building is a small one.
Bangor offered no resistance to the
action of the Selby men, but much bit
ter feeling has been stirred up and
charges Of crooked work are freely
made on both sides. - =
Bangor is off the railroad and is but
small town, and both Selby and Java
aim to succeed it as the capital of Wal
worth county. After hard fight last sum
mer between the two ambitious towns,
Selby won out before the county COM
missioners and secured the right to ap-
pear on the ballot as candidate for
the county seat. Z:
Java then threw it's strength to Ban
gor, and as consequence Bangor re.
ceived a small majority on the face of
the returns. Selby at once took steps
to contest the election, alleging that
Bangor had distributed Intoxicating
liquors, to influence the votes, and that
in several townships the polls were not
kept open the time required by law. -,
It is more than probable that Java
will now assist Bangor again in its
fight to hold the seat, hoping eventually
to win the prize itself. r.. III. ... 80
