WASHINGTON. D. c.. March E-(special
Telegram .)-President TAFT. Secretary Bal
linger. Senators Gamble and Cravford OF
South Dakota and McCumber OF North
Dakota had a conference today relative to
the distribution Of patronage in the Da-
kotas where federal officers deal with the
affairs Of interest TO the states Jointly,
that is. the offices Of Internal revenue
collector and officials Of the land office at
Lemon, S. d, Senator McCumber con-
tended that as the business OF the offices
was conducted with in his state. North
Dakota should have a '1ook-in" on the
Jobs. Senators Gamble and Crawford could
not see 1t that way. They assedt that so
far as the land office work at Lemon is
concerned, only about 5 per cent Of the
public lands in the Lemon district are To-
Gated in North Dakota, and so far as the
collector of internal revenue is concerned,
about 70 per cent Of the revenue collected
comes from South dakota. Though there
are just now no changes to be made in
any Of the offices mentioned. It Is safe
to say that should vacancies occur. Messrs.
Gamble and Crawford will control the
situation and North Dakota will be obliged
to take a back seat.
Representative Burke Of South Dakota
today secured the passage through the
house OF a bill allowing an extension of
one years time to settlers in Trip county,
South Dakota, in which to make their final
payments on homestead entries. This bill
will be looked after In the senate by Sena-
tor Gamble, either as a separate measure
or as an amendment to the Indian appro-
p~riatlon bill. 1t is however, assured of
passage, being Of interest to many persons,
not only in Trip county. but in Nebraska
and Iowa.
Upon motion OF Senator Brown. Grant G.
Martin was today admitted to practice be-
fore the supreme court and later in the day
he made the leading argument in the Mis-
SOUR Pacific elevator cases.

didate for denomination. He is daily receiv-
ing letters commencing his course in mat
tiers Of concern to his district. Nearly every
letter recently received by Judge Kinkaid

fight.
Letter from Constituent.
Following is a copy of a letter recently
received by Judge Kinkaid from the pre-
clnct committeeman in one Of the coun-
ties Of the Sixth district:
"Reposing special confidence in your
ability and integrity, and being further
prompted by a general favorabiy expressed
sentiment of voters in our respective coun-
ties in this congressional district commend
ing your previous services and record as
congressman, and, realizing the fact thai
you are a logical standard bearer who
can, with a degree OF certainty be success
full at the polls next November, as you
were two years ago. In, face OF the strong
est political opposition caused largely by
the so-called Bryan campaign we beg
leave to submit that aside from the loss
the people would sustain in the matter OF
legislation and their various manifold In
terests by your retirement from congress.
II would also be detrimental to the party
interests. y HF
I'VE further submit that it will give us
pleasure as representatives of the republic
can party Of this district 20 carry out the
details necessary for the proper placing of
your fame before the people as a caudt-
dtte for congress at the coming primaries.
Have the blindness to advise at your earliest
convenience IL this will be acceptable to
you"
An extract from a letter written by a
prominent SlNtn ulStflcl TSpupllSah ioONS'
to another leader, inquiring of him, II Mr..
Kinkaid would be a candidate for re-
election says:
mo. I have no information whether or
not Mr.. Kinkaid will be a candidate fog
&C ngress, but my Judgment is he will he.
As to conditions in this county, all repub-
lcans are for KinkAid. Every leader. every
VIC rker Of the party, and the rank and file
are for him. Kinkaid can be reelected II
nominated and / believe II he is a candi-
date he will secure the nomination. l
think It unwise to talk any other candidate
than Mr.. Kinkaid this year"
