A Straw and a Straw Stack

Abingdon Nirginian. - A straw
that shows which way breeze is
blowing comes from Norfolk in the
following Telegram:
NOrfolS, Va. Nov. Isl viii
not only be candidate for governor
of Virginia four years hence but am
n candidate right now. " said Harry
ST. George Tucker defeated candidate
COR the democratic gubernato. iaI
nomination, upon his arrival here
today Mr.. Tucker came i'm from
Washington To attend the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways convention and to
participate by special Invitation in
the Taft Day fucntions here.
But whole stack of Straws that
show which way hurricane will
blow appears i'm an editorial in Tues
days issue of the Richmond News
Leader, n Tucker paper during the
primary election, thus says:
lin southwestern newspapers we
find respon es to the announcement
that MIR. Harry ST. George Tucker
Will be candidate for governor four
years hence. They come in the
shape of declarations that if Henry
{. Stuart is in the field i'm 1913 he
will sweep the state.
So says The News Leader. This
newspaper has no authority To speak
for Nj. Stuart. We believe that
of all the men i'm public life and
politics in the state he is the littest,
the biggets and the strongest man.
We believe he will be a candidate
for governor four years from now,
il he then is alive. Therefore we ur-
gently suggest 10 the Stuart men
throughout the state that they de-
cline TO pledge themselves to any
body.
Everybody believes he would have
won If he could have remained in
this last race. lie will win il he is
in the next race. Wait TO hear
from him. There is no hurry.

PLAN INDEPENDENT
BOOSTERS BUREAU

Pierre, :. D., April 2g-The state
federation Of commercial clubs has
taken up with Governor Vessey the
matter of a bureau OF immigration
where il was left by the real estate
associations OF the state after they
had beer turned down by two legisla-
lures in succession.
In a meeting between q committee
from the federation and the governor,
Splans were discussed for raising funds
with which TO advocate in some degree
the favorable agricultural conditions
prevailing in the state. one plan sug-
gested to raise funds is by the sale Of
interest the railroads 10 the extent
of securing financial assistance either
through special rates or direct APP
preparation.
Governor Wesley. who is a member
Of the real estate association OF the
state, was one OF the leaders in the
session of the legislature in 1907 ask
ing for the modest sum OF $4,000 with
which TO establish the office Of COM
missioner of immigration and perfect
the plan for a boosting campaign. The
proposition was turned down by the
Legislature and the secretary OF the
state board of agriculture was made
a sort of toy immigration commission
er with "A slightly increased salary, but
no fund TO be expended in advertising
This condition still prevails regardless
Of the demand made by real estate
interests at the recent session, backed
by farming communities in nearly
every section OF the state.

HARD FIGHT ON
DRAINAGE DITCH
Contractors Want More Time
and Farmers Object to
Paying for Bridges.

Vermillion, s. D.. April 28.-Inasmuch
as the big Clay creek drainage canal
will be q great benefit TO Clay and
Yankton counties, SO Will 1t also be the
means Of a great cal OF litigation be-
fore it is finally completed and paid
for. That the dredging company will
bring their affair with the county COM
m~issioners into court is a certainty,
demanding extension Of time in which
to complete the project, and lately q
new source OF trouble has made itself
known. The land owners who are to
be assessed for the ditch strenuously
object to paying for bridges that are TO
be built over it. The case of the farm
ers against the county commissioners
was brought up before Judge Frank
Smith, of the Fourth c~urcuit, last week,
and IL is still pending
In the lately developed controversy
the county board Is trying to force the
farmers to pay for 10 new steel
bridges over the canal, aggregating a
cost of something like &c. 00. The LAM
owners are of the opinion that they
cannot be charged up for these bridges
because these are TO replace 10 old
ones that were torn down In order that
the dredging company could do Its
work. They hold that the bridges
which were removed would have 10
been replaced by the county had he
work of the ditching not been begun,
because five OF the 10 were worthless,
four were dangerous, and only one
good.
Attorneys Sterling, Elliot and Wy
man have been retained by the com
missioners, and Attorneys Payne and
Jolly, of this city, and French and
Orvis, Of Yankton, are looking after the
interests of the property owners. h
states attorneys Of both counties are
taking no part in the ase as both were
formerly in the service of the plain
tiffs and later elected to their county
offices. Arguments will now be pre-
pared and presented to Judge Smith,
and it is believed hat no matter what
his decision may be, the matter will be
taken to the supreme court.
