tween Secretary Taft and Cover
nor Hughes. This is rather Gu
rious situation. One of them is
an avowed candidate, has the
backing of the administration, and
according to all indications is well
in the lead over all competitors
The other one is- not even an
avowed candidate. Nevertheless
it is predicted that in the course of
a month genuine Hughes boom
will be launched in New York and
the Governor will be a force to be
seriously reckoned with. The at
tempt made at the last meeting OF
the New York State Republican
Committee to have the Hughes
boom formally launched met with
defeat. This was due principally
to Chairman Parsons of the State
Committee. 1t is said, however.
that notice has been served on him
to the effect that that the subject
will be reopensd at the meeting o
the Committee next month and
that the Hughes endorsement will
be forced Through. 1t is said
that the friends of the Governor
are strong enough to take this
course.
Governor Hughes and Secretary
Taft may be considered the medi
UNI conservative possibilities of the
party. They both stand for q
decided reform in machine meth
! DDS and for a government more O
the people and less of the corpo
rate interests. Both of them are
believed to be absolutely clean ane
honest and either would be less to
the liking of the old line party
leaders than any of the severa
candidates in the field with she
exception perhaps of La Toilette

Stony don't get no more help in trying
to down the Union 1 would quit and
get some one that is not banker are a

me. 1t is strange that so many of our
old farmers will be pulled and hauled
around by the nose by men who are
looking to the farmerc as support for
them, knowing they are thir stay of
life, let them have a small mite of cred
it will you. Ye Stoney jumped on the
Farmers Union for the money panic,
Well, he has heard some man that can't
join the Union and seeing we will soon
win the race if we fight on and that we
will sure do, If Bro Stoney knew what
he was talking about in regard to the
Union some one weuld believe him but
he never was Farmers Union man
and never will be. AS for what cotton
would have been selling at nowI have
az much right to say 4 or 5 cents as ye
stoney has to say 124 cts. Ask cotton
buyers, they will tell you one man
knows as much as another. Use your
own judgment, it has been long time
since cotton staid as near one thing
up to Xmas before. We believe that
the Union has held it there to GER
tain extent. We hear some men say
the minimum is too high but they still
holNpr it, A religion that won't do

you all gentlemen. Now, Brother jump
higher and shout louder and fall fatter
if you want to you can't hurt the Union
There has bigger men than you tried to
down the Union. We have learned
how to hold to anything we see if it is
doing good, we are not the-one that are
kicking. We will be all right if we get
our price; we have to pay the other
mans price for what we use. They
don't want us to say any thing about
one price fol- what we have got. Sc
we the Trinity Union, are strong and
large and can jump as high and fall as

THREE LAND OFFICE DECISIONS
Local ONCE Reversed in Two and
Sustained in One Case.


Sustained in One Case.
The officers Of the local land ONCE
received three decisions yesterday
afternoon from the commissioner Of
the general land office. In two OF
the decisions-that OF Copper VS..
Koth, and that OF shaufler VS.. Van
orsdale, the local officers are reversed
and in the third their de"ision Is af-
firmed
In the case OF W. r. Shaufler
against Amos d. Van Orsdale. the lat
ter made homestead entry for the
land in December 1899, and a con-
test was initiated against 1t y Shauf-
Ter, who claimed the land was more
valuable for mineral purposes than
for agriculture. The officers of the
local ONCE sustained his contention.
In the case OF Yinton F. Copper
against Catherine Koth the latter
made homestead entry for the land
involved in August z. 1906, and a
contest was initiated by Copper
against 40 acres OF the tract involved.
The local officers recommended dis
missal Of the contest, but the COM
missioner ordered a dismissal Of the
entry. Of Koth embracing this 40
acres.
The ase in which the local officers
we're affirmed was that Of Frederick
Fowler against Ingebord K. Hoslurd.
The land involved Is situated in Echo
bay and the entry Of Hoslurd was
contested by Fowler The decision Il
for Fowler.
