WILL BE
Presidential Year

Every good citizen owes it to himself and to the
country to keep well informed on the political events
which will eliminate in the election of a president,
who will be charged with the administration OF the
national government for four years,
Every good citizen owes it to himself and to
his country to post himself about the candidates
competing for high political preferment and about
the issues on which the great parties will divide in
order to decide intelligently how to cast his vote.
The preliminary skirmishing for the great polit-
ical battle of 1908 is already begun and the position
of the principal participants is constantly changing
with new developments nearly every day.
The big nominating conventions in prospect
particularly the republican national convention which
is to meet in Chicago in June, promises to be the
most stirring and interesting gatherings of the kind
in the history of the country.
The moving panorama will be wildly and &C
curately pictured in The Bee from day to day = the
candidates will be presented in their own pronounce
ments and speeches the issues will be discussed
and all the current political happenings will be
chronicled as they occur.

struaRIe for sheriH.

interest In the republican convention
naturally centers in the contest over the
nomination for sheriff. The death within
a few days OF the convention Of Deputy
Sheriff A. ] Grace OF Avoea, the candi-
date Of the east end Of the county, and
the candidate who received the largest
number Of votes at the primary, although
not sufficient to secure him the nominal
ton, has complicated the situation, Deputy
Sheriff Groneweg, who secured the next
largest vote. was the leading candidate
of the several aspirants for the nomination
in the city. Mr.. GroneweS also showed
considerable strength in several OF the
county precincts. His supporters contend
that he is the logical candidate and should
receive the nomination without any ques-
ton. now tina Mr.. Grace is no longer in
the field. All OF the other city candidates,
however, are still in the ring, and will
have more or less OF a following in the
convention today. The city candidates are
Deputy sheriffs McCaffery, Woolman and
Matlack. George Turner. L. T. Aberti and
r. C. williams.
A report reached the city yesterday that
Howard Wilson of Avoca had Appeared
as a candidate for the nomination for sher-
iff, since the death Of Mr.. Grace removed
from the field the active and leading can
dldate OF the east end. 1t couldn't be
learned. whether Wilson would command
the support of the delegates who in
tended TO vote FOR Mr.. Grace.
There was-some desultory talk yesterday
among politicians of the possibility OF
Sheriff Canning receiving a denomination,
despite the fact that he was not a candi-
date before the primary. AS Sheriff Can.
ming was in Chicago yesterday at the ma,
tional republican convention it could moi
be learned whether he would accept a re.
nomination under the circumstances
Friends. OF Mr.. Canning are inclined to be-

DitoH MATTERS ARE Considered
Perform Their work Well During
Heavy Rains.

Heavy BsinA. .
At the Joint session Of the. supervisors
Of Pottawattamie and Harrison COUNTIES
as a drainage board yesterday, citizens Of
Missouri Valley filed a claim for f7S.6i.
which amount II js claimed, had been ex-
pended by the city in repairs Of roads on
account Of the bridges over the Willow
creek ditch having been constructed above
the established city Grades. The claim was
referred to Seth Dean. the engineer In
charago of the construction Of the drain
age bitches. I
Also from Missouri Valley came a pc
tition asking for The construction OF a
lateral connecting with the Willow creek
dich and draining a portion of the city
which the Board Of Health had declared
to be In an extremely %unsanitary eondi-
ton. This petition was referred to W. II.
Kllpack. the joint boards attorney. and
Engineer Dean.
The report Of Engineer Dean showed
that the new drainage bitches had worked
splendidly during the recent heavy rains,
and he expressed the opinion that these
bitches alone, saved hundreds Of persons
/ from being driven from their homes, and
untold damage would have been done to
the crops. The Boyer, he reported. had
done some damage in the vicinity of Mis-
souri, Valley, as well as up in the Boyer
valley, but the drainage bitches cared
for the flood waters in fine shape. The
ditch levees prevented the streams over
flowing their banks. and at only one place
where a small opening had been left, did
the water get out Of the bitches, and there
the damage was comparatively small. Tho
wateE-almost everywhere rose above th'
natural banks Of the bitches, but the levee'
prevented any overflow.
The board adjourned TO next Thursday
when It will meet at Missouri Valley and
look into the matter OF the proposed lat
eral and examine the new bitches.
