GOV. WILSON tine NOMINEE
Deadlock il Broken at Baltimore
and Wilson is Named on Forty
Sixth Ballot

Baltimore, July 2.-Woodrow
Wilson, governor of New jersey,
at ais o'clock this afternoon was
nominated by the democratic ma
tional convention to be president
Of the United States.
The victory came on the forty
sixth ballot. Wilson had a total
of 900 votes, but the refusal Of
the Missouri delegation to desert
Champ Clark prevented it's being
a unanimous choice.
1t was evident long before Mis-
souri, was reached on the forty
sixth roll call that Wilson would
be nominated. But the Houn
Dawg delegates insisted on a roll
call so they could vote for cold
Champ Clark to the last. -
AS the roll call proceeded state
after state fell into line for Wi
son, the only exceptions being
Florida and Missouri, which cast
their ballots for Clark.
The detailed result Of the forty
sixth ballot was Clark "a, Will
son $50, Harmonic absent 2. The
following states voted for Clark
and the rest for Wilson, save tn
Ohio few for Harmon: New Jer-
sey 4 Nevada 6, Florida, and
Missouri.
Informed of his victory this
afternoon, Governor Wilson in an
interview thanked the democats.
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay re-
fused to talk.
The convention adjourned until
8 clock tonight.

al weeks ago a friend presented
him with a setting Of eggs from

Glennon stopped at another frien

The friend played several selec-
tions for him during the evening.
Going home, Glennon set the
eggs under a Plymouth Rock
"biddy," and eight chickens wer
hatched. Now that they have
grown big enough to make a
noise, each has a "peep" that is
peculiar to itself in that it makes
a complete note. When the en-
tire octave gets going it sounds
like running the scale.

mammoth mains which conduct

Let us see: We have Fort Bu
ford and the Missouri river at
that point 1900 feet above sea
level. We have q gradual slope
for over 800 miles south to the
White river i'm South Dakota
where the altitude is only 17OO
feet. This makes q fall Of 200
feet or roughly speaking, three
fourths Of foot to the mile.
The Yellowstone river flows
into the Missouri at Fort Buford

should supply quantity land

of promise. But it must be ad-
mitted that its rainfall is some
distance from being reliable. The
results obtained in the past seas
ons demonstrate that to be a
fact. What are we going to do
about it!
Private parties have establish
ed irrigation plants in various
parts Of the country, and those
plants are going to multiply
rapidly each succeeding year.
Those who till these lands will in
time irrigate the most Of them,
and learn how to be husbandmen
and craftsmen. The waters Of
the streams that abound west Of
the Missouri will be diverted, by
such methods as the Buffalo Gap
project. and Stanley and the
neighbOring countries will be-
come Eden spots.
One Of the obstacles that con-
front the irrigators at present is
that the state cannot engage in
internal improvements, but
the sentiment of the people has
reached that stage where 1t is
most certain that they will ask
the privilege Of amending the cor
StifntiOn So that tho state ooc, on
engage itself, and that the am
endment will be made.
Irrigation has been a theme
much discussed for months. Its
discussion will be greater in
months to come. During his Who'll,
career Man has been engaged
in warfare with the forces of
Nature and he has had to win
or succumb. History is repeating
itself in western South Dakota.

The business men Of Fort

cided that it is not practical to
take up, the matter Of expert
mental irrigation work this year,
but the arrangements were COM
pleted for taking up the work
next year, not only by the use Of
river water, but to thoroughly
try out the possibilities of irriga-
tion by artesian water on the
higher prairies of Stanley county.
From the standpoint Of the
saloon patron, the Oases of STAN
ley county are few and far be-
tween. Fort Pierre voted dry,
the consent petitions at Midland
were illegal, and the saloon pro-
prietors at Cottonwood and In
terror did not feel warranted, in
view of the prospects, to engage
in business for another year. So
our saloon census at the COM
mencement of the month shows
but four permits issued in the
county, one at Belvidere, one at
Kadoka and two at Philip.

Midland has gone dry and
there il a prospect that Quinn

unless the full truth be publish,
ed, sparing neither side to the
controversy.
No doubt the matter referred
to was sweet morsel for the
Republican, but look at the col
umnS of the Herald today, and
there is a different aspect.
The Hayti Herald is nothing if
not fair. We believe in fairness
in politics just as much as we do
in religion.
If men have made mistakes,
they should be permitted to cor
rect them. We are willing that
everyone should have a chance.
We do not believe that there is
an officer in Pemiscot county
who ever accepted dollar that
he did not feel was justly due
him. We believe that if mistakes
have been made in allowing GER
tain claims and fees, that every
officer in the county who has re-
ceived such money will gladly
refund it.
This is not the time for any
such squabble among democrats.
There was plenty of time, after
the election, to Straighten these
matters out to the satisfaction of
all parties and to the best inter
est of all the people of the county,
Let us be fair. redsOna bic and
honest with our neighbOrS. Let
us treat them as men. All peo-
pie make mistakes, and if mis-
takes have been made, let us try,
in a reasonable. just and fair way
to correct them. and not try to
bring humiliation and disgrace
upon any one.

HAYTIS LAWSUITS.

We are 80 often asked queS-
tions about the litigation over
the public square in Hayti we are
inclined to believe a great many
citizens, especially the new ones,
do not understand the legal sta
tus of the matter, and we there
fore state the facts again.
When the town was plated,
the square was given to the pub
lie. A few years later, after the
death of Dr.. Hayes, the founder
of the town, his heirs petitioned
the county court to return the
square to them, which was done.
Then the citizens of Hayti
brought suit in the circuit court
in the name of the county to re-
cover the square, receiving a
favorable decision. The attor-
neys in that suit, against the citi-
zens of Hayti, were Shepard,
Mckay, Corbett and Higgs, and
we are told that they were also
members of the company that
bought the square from the
Hayes heirs. They appealed
from the decision of the circuit
court, and last year the supreme
court decided that the county
had no title to the square, but
did not decide that the citizens OF
Hayti had no right to use the
square. Just before the decis-
ion was handed down by the su
preme court an ejectment suit
was brought against the city OF
Hayti to get possession of oul
SlO,OOO.OO city hall, which sui
was tried last January before
Judge Walker of Kennett, hold
ing court at Charlottesville, bu
who has not yet decided the case
The case will be argued by coun
sci probably some time in Sep
Lember and will then be decided
by the court. The court will de
eide whether the citizens of Hay

for their own private purposes.
The loss of the public square
and city hall would prove a SER
ious blow to Hayti, as we must
be taxed 20 years to pay for it.
and will pay out 500, 600, over and
above the amounts spent in the
various litigations.
1t seems that our citizens
have had hard time. We have
had one law suit after another
ever since the town was started.
A few years ago the Williams
brothers, being Hayes heirs,
through their attorneys, Mckay
and Higgs, brought suit against
about half of the property own.
erS in the original town of Hayti
to recover an interest the Will
liamS' were alleged to hold in
every alterate lot. AS Pete Viii.
lianS, the father of the boys,
would not become a party to the
suit, their case was dismissed,
but not until several property
owners, including ourself, had
compromised. and the money we
paid was never refunded.

MAJOR DENIES IT.

Hon. Elliot w. Major, attorney
general of the state, while here
last week, stated that he had Civ
en- no opinion on the question
concerning the expenses allowed
county officers by the county
court and could not say without
looking into the law whether the
court did right or wrong. We
understand the presiding Judge
of the county court wrote Mr..
Major a letter, asking him if it
were legal for the county court
to furnish the prosecuting at
torney Il telephone in his Office,
and some assistant attorney in
Mr.. Majors Office while Mr.. Ma
jor was away, answered the let
ter, saying in substance, it was
his opinion that the county court
might properly furnish the pro-
scouting attorney telephone in
his office, as he was a public Off
Ger, so he could keep in touch
with the justices of the peace and
conStablaS over the county and
be reached by the public at any
and all times.

that particular time. As for

cannot speak. There are two
