NEW ROAD OVER SENATOR HILL
 LOCATED
(From Tuesdays Daily

Frank R. Goodman. of the engin- ger corps of the territorial highway, while in the city Sunday from the end of the grade near Senator, stated that H. N. Lewis, engineer in charge of the southern division, had com pleted the permanent locating of the new bridge that will cross the Hassay- ampa, as we'll as the line up Senator hill to the summit The bridge will be located 400 feet above the site where the county bridge crosses the river, and at an elevation of A feet higher In order to secure a max imum grade of not over six per cent, this site was necessary. The stalking of the grade as decided upon will be- gin at once, and will be ready for construction inside of two weeks. After leaving the terminus of the completed roadway, but one mile of the county highway is used, the re- pairing of which will be undertaken by the territory, when work is in- augurated. The grade of the old Senator hill route runs as high as twenty-two per cent in places and is impracticable on plans outlined by Territorial Engineer Grand, to util- ize.
 Mir Goodman states that the ten miles of the completed territorial highway have withstood the heavy rains of the past, week with no damage to the foadbed. It is expected that resumption of work to the south will be authorized inside of the next month for a distance of twenty miles, which will bring the terminus to the old Bully Bueno mill on Turkey Creek.

Lewis. locating engineer of the territorial highway to the south, has made a permanent selection from the end of the grade to the summit of Senator Hill, which is pronounced a commendable piece of engineering work. The grade is less than six per cent and construction, it is said, will be started immediately. Mir. Lewis will continue his observations down Crook Canyon, and in a few days the twenty miles will be per manently located.

 ASH FORK ROAD [From Sundays DaiIvN

Arrivals from Ash Fork during the past few days, report the new road out of that place for a distance of ten miles as impossible for any class of vehicles.

DRY FARMING IN KIRKLAND IS
 SUCCESS
From Tuesdays Daily


 c. W. Carter, who has been making profitable experiments in so-ealled " "dry-farming" near Kirkland for the past several years, has sent to the Chamber of Commerce office a few ears of. what he calls secOnd-class corn. He states that the first-class product has all been fed or shipped.
 This crop was planted at the end of April and harvested on the last of October 1910. A field of twenty acres averaged 5 bushels per acre and from this patch, ears exhibited at Phoenix last year took first prize
 Last years success encouraged MT. Carter to plant 40 acres this season. The crop is tasseling now and looks exceedingly well. In his letter, MT. Carter states that he is farming strictly with the aid of the natural precipitation; in other words this is purely dry-farming test.

DICK METCAIFE's BOOM.

Beatrice Express: Dick Metoalfe would
make a good governor. all right. but as
the Kearney Hub remarks there is moth
ing in the atmosphere to indicate that
even he could beat Governor Aldrich for
reelection.
Bloomington Advocate: The Omaha
friends Of Richard L. Metcalfe have
started a boom for him for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor. Metcaife
is one OF the best men in the state, fear
less in his views, and while he has scores
OF friends he has doodes of enemies
enough OF them to cause his defeat for
any office to which he may aspire
Aurora Republican: Fifty-four more or
less prominent democrats Of omaha and
South Omaha have petitioned Richard L.
Metcalfe to run for governor next year,
but we search in vain for the name of
Mayor James c. Dahlman in the list.
Fremont Herald: Douglas county demo-

Gratis must have been egged on to their
action by some smooth Omaha repub-
licans, who hope, out of the row which
the Metcalfe boom will precipitate
among democrats. that the way will be
made easier for the election of a repub-
lican governor next fall The candidacy
Of Metcalfe simply means the awakening

the democratic nominee for governor in
1910. and made speeches over the state
in behalf Of Governor Aldrich. There is
ample time FOR democrats TO reflect and
consider the question OF whether they
want harmony or q fight to a finish
Geneva Signal: Further light was
thrown on the Omaha proposal to Mr..
Metcalfe that he run for governor by a
meeting held In Omaha Monday evening
for the formation of a Woodrow Wilson
club. The same men participated in that
meeting who signed the letter to Mr.
Metcalfe. 1t is evident that the Metcalfe
feature is but part OF a general move
ment to keep Governor Harmon Of Ohio
from getting the Nebraska delegation to
the democratic national convention. That
means a real fight.
Hastings Tribune: A gubernator
boom has been launched for Richard Met
caife, associate editor of the Commoner
for the democratic candidate in 1912. The
Tribune would be pleased to see the
democrats of Nebraska get together and
hand the gubernatorial nomination to
Richard L. Metcalfe on a silver platte,
because such an action would force the
republicans to put up one of their clean

INC Pr.sidential Primary.

The announcement from Washing
ton that the republican national COM
mittee will not undertake to pre-
scribe for the states the manner In
which delegates to the national con-
vehtion shall be chosen, does not
come as a surprise. The committee
il already on record as recognizing
the fact that the manner OF selecting
delegates is a matter to be deter
mined by the states, and that the con-
vention, itself, will not undertake to
say in what way this shall be done.
Delegates who come with credentials
showing that they were regularly Sc
lected by conformity with the legal
or established rules Of procedure APP
plying within their states, will be
seated in the convention without
question
This action of the committee is
further proof of the oft repeated
statement that the republican party
is the real party of progress All the
genuinely reformatory laws or meth
DDS OF procedure adopted for the gov
erpment OF party politics In the
United States have originated with
the republicans. The regulation of
parties is part OF our general scheme
OF government, and the clothing of
them with legal rights, and OF pro-
viding machinery whereby these
rights may be secured, can be traced
back to republican sources
The matter OF selecting delegates
to the national convention by direct
vote OF the people has not entirely
passed the experimental stage.
Whether II will be generally adopted
by the states is yet to be determined.
but ho'argument will have weight to
deny that the voters should have the
right to express preference for can
lidates as well as to select delegates.
and to do this in whatever way will
best suit the case The unit rule was
long ago broken in the republican
convention, and majority has always
determined. Instructed or pledged
delegations have been commonly sent,
and the plan for direct vote merely
places the responsibility more di-
rectly on the individual voter. The
recognition OF these rights. and the
provision OF means for expressing
them, serve only TO emphasize the
fact that the republican party moves.

wilson in the BRYAN Discard I

II Mr.. Bryan is consistent he can
not even tolerate Governor Wilson as
a candidate for the presidency; he
will be compelled to throw him into
the discard with Harmon and Champ
Clark. DR.. wilson's unsuccessful plea
for pension from Andrew Carnegie
seems to settle all question of his
availability for the Bryan endorse
ment.
Mr.. Bryan is on record as violently
opposed to the principle of the Car
negie endowments. His record for
free silver is no better known and no
more indelibly stamped upon the
pages of his political history. He led
the fight to prevent the University of
Nebraska from Joining the list of
large institutions becoming eligible to
the Carnegie benefactions. He de-
nounced the principle In his most Wig
orous aud picturesque diction. He
saw nothing but subservlency to the
worst influences OF plutocracy and
the trusts In accepting such gratu-
tiles for an educator or an educa-
tional institution, though his view
struck most people as radical and
far-fetched. What, then. can he say
of a democratic candidate for the
presidency, not only accepting, but
soliciting failing to get-such
an endowment
Governor Wilson stands for polit-
lcal reform. yet ne asks q man
good In himself, OF course-who is
regarded as the very incarnation of
the trusts, to give him a pension so
that he might be enabled to make
the race for the presidency. No one
need question DR.. Wilson's integrity
TO see that he has made a fatal po-
litical blunder and whether Mr..
Bryan chooses to regard II so, pub
licly or not. other people will. Gov
ernor Wilson's sense Of honor may
be as keen and alert as a magnetic
needle, but his political sense evil
IDENTIFY is badly stupefied. He can
never explain away the mistake he
has made. But there is another side
to the question. The New Jersey
governor asked for the pension. of
course, on the ground that he had
been teacher all his life and, there
fore, he thought he was entitled to
share in this teachers fund, explain
ing that:
A man WHO goes into politics bound for
the principles OF honor puts his family
and all who may be dependent upon him
for support at the mercy OF any incalcul.
able turn or the wheel OF fortune, and ]
felt entirely Justified In seeking to pro-

The governor may have been actu-
ated by the best of motives. but he
went into politics voluntarily. leav-
ing a very good paying position to
do so and no man has corner OF
