For associat Judge of the court OF
anpeals-Frederck X. Collins Of
Chemung county
The list of candidates prepared af-
ter day Of almost continuous confer
ences. went THROUGH soon after mid
night with only one halt in ITS quick
progress This was the presentation
Of the rame of CONGRESSMAN William
Sulzer as the only rival candidate for
governor. Mr.. Sulzer received 16, Of
the $50 votes in the convention and
Mr.. Dix got the rest All the other
nominations we're made by acclama-
ton EXCEPT that Of Mr.. Collins.
John A. Dix Of Washington county
was chosen as candidate for governor
on the democratic ticket last night
by the conference Of leaders while
400 delegates Of the state convention
waited two hours In their seats for
the formation of the slate. The chief
cause of delay lay in the difficulty Of
filling second pace. Mr.. Dix had
been selected and the other places on
the ticket had been settled to the APP
parent satisfaction Of those who had
gathered in the rooms of Charles F.
Murphy, the Tammany leader, early
in the evening. The question of Dix's
runnig mate and some lingering
doubt as to whether Martin II. Glynn
Of Albany would accept a renomina-
ton for controller still kept the con-
ferees away from the hal an ddelay-
ed its opening.
John A. Dix yielded to the solcita-
ton of the leaders and agreed to run
at 7:45. The rest of the slate was
speedily arranged and announced to
the group waiting outside the confer
ence room at the Seneca hotel. 1t
was Mr. Conway who was reluctant
to accept the nomination as lieuten-
ant governor and he said so. For
half an hour the leaders argued with
him, until finally he left them and
went upstairs to consult his friends
in the Clinton county delegation.

 MT. Parker also states that farmers la his part of the state are paving considerable attention to a diyersifi- cation of crops. Not any less cotton is to be planted. according to inform- ation coming to him, but much larg- e amount of corn and potatoes will he grown.
 Heretofore it has been the custom for farmers to import a large per eentage of the corn used there, but from the present indications not less than 8 and probably 90 per cent of the corn used there this next year will be grown at home
 "The growing of potatoes is receiv- ing much attention also and diversi- fleation along other lines is being done. I attribute much of this work to the farm demonstration work of the federal government. ''s

 Powers That be are Powerful.

The following circular, which is be- :ng circulated throughout Lincoln county since the recent primary cleo i ton, reached the Graphic office yes- terday and we republish it after much hesitation:
 To the lIighlanders of Lincoln County {:
 We, the undersigned, take this op- rortunity of communicating with "the Powers that be'-the powers that say what is to be and what is not to be, that make and unmake men, politi- cally.

Hall, once candi date for the office of County Clerk, the Lowlands who have aspired to any position of honor or trust in Lin coin county, the county so named in tic honor of Honest Abe''. Ye Gods! But witness the play of words, hon. est. Yes our friends have gone down in ignoble defeat, they have fallen be- fore the onslaught of the men from the hills, they have naught to do but eympathize with those of the Low lands who have fallen by the craft of t'e Highlanders.
 We, more fortunate than our friends have not to suffer the humiliation of defeat, but We do not take unto our- selves the credit for not having gone down as did our friends, but to the fact that we were not opposed by the men from the Highlands. Now, in- asmuch as we were the only men elected from the Lowlands-no, we can't both claim to have been elected for our race was what you'd call "dead heat" that is, we iran neck and reck., We both "nosed under the wire together" when the contest was ended and the smoke of the battle had cleared away we found that there were fifty votes for each of us, and we know that that was all there were. that none had been stolen Or carried away. for no Highland man had access to the box, else, there might not have been any for either of us.
 It has been said by those who kno" HIS best and the liberal vote given us by our friends and neighbors convin- ces us there may be some truth m the assertion that 'they are both hon- est men" assuming that to be true ana realizing how lonesome and out or place an honest man would feel when associated with the "Powers that be- , Therefore, we hereby thank those that voted for us but tender our resigna- tions, or rather. we refuse to quality and ask that the Powers send us 2

Little Rock Ark, April S.-"The people of our section are coming to lcok with great favor on the work of the experts sent out by the federal government and they are glad to see them come," said J. M.

A. Knapp, in charge of the farm de- reconstruction work for the national de- partment of agriculture.
 Mir. Parker made the statement that the people of his section several years ago did not take kindly to the gov ernment sending experts out to tell them how to farm. But now, he'says when the court house bell rings and it becomes known that federal eX- pert is to speak on planting, soil mat ters, seed, or any similar subject the court house is filled with those Who are anxious to learn all the expert has to say to them, and what IS more, they go home and put that knowledge into practice.
 "It is my desire to take Dr. Knapp ever our section and let him see what can be done if we get little more federal aid. I shall take pleasure in sending private car to Little Rock to take his party over our par' Of the state. I am especially anxl' ous to have him see our cut-ovei lands.
