CLAIMS MADE ~ " BY GOODWIN
Candidates For Congress In The Seventh District AL
 leges Conspiracy.

Hon. w. $. Goodwin. of War ren, candidate for Congress from the Seventh district. and E. l.. McHaney, his campaign mana ger, were in Little Rock yester- day In reply to a question as to the status of the nomination, since the action of the Congress aional convention at Camden, Monday, MT. McHaney smade the following statement:
 When the votes of forty-three delegates cut of the seventy three were cast for a chairman and secretary, l would think in common decency and justice that that chairman and secretary would be declared elected. But at the convention at Camden the thirty delegates counted for more than forty-three, and noth- ing but brute force could have avoided it. Joe Galloway, chair man of the Congressional com mittee, held that inasmuch as Wallace carried Union county. that delegation present would be compelled to cast it's ten votes for Tom Hardy for chairman and W. L. Jamison for secretary. al- though Jesse J. Craig. Union county man was in nomination for secretary. He held that Un- ion county could not cast its ten votes for a Union county man for secretary of the convention, He went even further than that.

orators. MT Bryan Is quoted as saying that he would comply with Mr. Haskell's $ wishes.
 Mr. Bryan has grown to be an intense admirer of Mr. Haskell and the latterreciprocates the ad- miration.
 It is said that Mir. Bryan will make the Oklahoma state consti- tuition and subsequent legislation in the state the basis of his cam paign, should he receive the presidential nomination. Reply ing to the charge of the Republi- cans that he is a dreamer and a theorist, he will hold up the Okla hOma constitution as vital eVi- dence of the SoundneSS of his doctrines. He has said that this constitution is a better constitu- ton than that of the United States. He took part in the cam paign for it's adoption Naturally Mr. Bryan should encourage friendship between himself and the man who dominated the mak- ing of the constitution, Governor Haskell. He has asked MT Has kell to serve on the Committee on Resolutions at the Denver con vention an to participate as a speaker in the national campaign. More than that he has expressed the wish that Mir Haskell should be his campaign manager.
 Mir, Haskell is ambitious polit- cally and has sand that he would not accept this offer, fearing he might acquire reputation as s political fXer rather than a statesman.

He held that Nevada county ear ried by McCollum, and i'll which Goodwin ran second, could not east it's seven votes as the dele gation present desired, but order ed the secretary to cast those votes for Hardy and Jamlson.
 The same deal was handed out on permanent organizations and all the way through the conVen- ton. Tom Hardy was selected to engineer the job. He would not allow an appeal from the de cision of the chair, He would declare a motion to adjourn out of order, when coming from the Goodwin side of the house. He would dispose of an appeal to reason. to a sense of common de cency and fairness. to sense ot honor and right, by a mere wave of the hand. l saw there a sit nation that has not occurred be fore for years. and that was Judge C. w.

LATEST BRIDGE
GUESS
CITY ENGINEER RALsToN,
WHO HAS GUESSED $500, 200,
GuESsEs 1925 900 THIS TIME,
AND PLANS GO TO COUNCIL
TONIGHT.

City Engineer Ralston yesterday
submitted to the board of works
his plans for a concrete bridge at
Monroe street. The estimated cost
is $325,000. including removal of
the present structure. Quite evil
IDENTIFY the engineer has gained ex-
perience sine going into office. He
has made several guesses on what
a concrete bridge at Monroe would
cost, one guess being as high as
100000.
The proposed bridge will be 10
feet wider than the present struc-
ture. The roadway is to be so feet
wide; sidewalks nine feet wide.
Two public lavatories are provided
for. The plans will be presented
to the council tonight.
Mr.. Ralston is also working on
plans for steel structure at this
point. The council ordered plans
for both concrete and steel, The
steel plans will be submitted in
about two weeks. The engineer Is
not prepared to estimate the cost.
The concrete plans are so car
ried out as to span the river with
one arch 240 feet across. 1t will
be one of the largest in the world.
The North Coast railroad, which
interfered with previous plan of
arches which were outlined. will
cause no interference with the
present plans.
1t would be necessary for the
city to make the fill at the south
end of the bridge, unless the In
land Empire system makes It, The
council tonight will probably open
negotiations with Jay F. Graves
TO see II his company will not
either make the fill, or pay for the
work should the city make It, The
railroad company owns the prop
erty at the south end of the bridge
and eventually intends to fill 1t in.

You say that If it requires no more
capital than that necessary for the
above, why don't you go at 1t, and
do it from a financial standpoint?
Because these cases are mostly all
broke. They try barrels OF patent
medicines; 60 to all kinds of
charlatans; and before they consult
the legitimate physicians they have
no money, and consequently the
poor physician can do nothing for
them. So what l am advocating is
a public charity that should be
turned over to the ladies OF the city
whose husbands and relatives have
made such valuable acquisitions of
wealth from Mother Earth.
1.-THE first cost of a six roomed
house, fence and a village of
small tents would not be great, and
a site could easily be obtained
among the pines along the bank of
the Spokane river and near a car
line. The medical profession here
will readily stand back of any
proposition to take care of the
cases surgically or medically. The
hills surrounding Spokane have
been prodigal of wealth to her citi-
zens and as a result we have very
wealthy people here who are char
itably inclined. and If assured by
the chamber of commerce that
the charity was right, would be
glad to assist work of this
kind"

CHAMBERLAIN
URGES UNITY
INVITES GOVERNORS OF ALL
STATES TO UNITE FOR A
POLICY OF SAFEGUARDING
NATURAL RESOURCES FOR
FUTURE GENERATIONS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.--A new
policy giving the federal govern
ment absolute control over
streams, forests and mineral re-
serves by the creation of an inter-
state conservation commission was
advocated by Governor Chamber
lain today in his address before
the joint conservation congress.
He recommended abolishing
state lines in the administration of
national resources. He called upon
the governors of every state to
join his policy and was promised
cooepration on part of the west.
I'VE will probably agree upon
one point" he said, that the con-
servation of our natural resources
is necessary to the well being of
the country and the protection of
generations yet unborn. Upon the
perpetuation of our institutions, as
to the means to be adopted. we
may differ"
He reviewed the creation of the
national conservation commission
by President Roosevelt, and de
clared that the question as to what
policy ought to be adopted for the
future was the paramount issue
before the present congress. He
said:
"One of two policies must be
adotped in order to succeed That
II must be either a national or q
state policy: that can empower
congress to be supreme regarding
the soil, mines, forests. streams
tributary to navigable waterways
there is no question"
He then quoted decisions of the
United States supreme court to
show the extent of jurisdiction of
national government over navi-
gable waterways. he continued:
IF this power and jurisdiction
be recognized, may it not be in.
sisted that it is within the powers
of congress to enact uniform laws,
not only to safeguard water tribu-
taries to navigahle waterways. but
to provide for the distribution of
such waters for the beneficial use
in the reclamation of the arid and
semi-arid lands of the country"
