LYMAN AND WILL WIN
EASILY.

Oacoma. S. DAT the mass meet
ing of the minority faction of the re-
publican party of Lyman county held
here Tuesday under the Richards
primary law, Judge Williamson Of
the eleventh judicial circuit was un-
animously endorsed to succeed him
self upon the bench. Congressman
Burke was endorsed for the United
States Senate. Peter B.. Dirks of this
place was elected state committee
man, and precinct committeeman
were selected in all precincts.
Harmony prevailed throughout the
entire meeting. Reports received last
evening tended 10 SHOW that Judge
Williamson would receive the unani-
nous aud unqualified support of both
proposal committees in both Gregory

friends will control the situation in
Trip county. With the endorsement
OF both mass meetings in this county,
the present situation would seem to
forshadow an easy victory for the

into European systems.
Experts and auditors will be en-
ployed to go into the price question
on a scientific basis. They will supply

and other farmers with prevailing
prices in all other markets. Another
duty will be to keep an account OF
retail prices i'm each center. so the

actly what his products are selling
for to the consumer, and how much
of the retail price the middleman is
getting.

There were some behind the scheme who
did not expect much more than the moral
support of the government. George Hey
er, the secretary of the committee, told
me some weeks ago that that was all he
counted on. With that behind them he
thought the rest of the money could be
raised. In the back of his head was some
sort of idea that one of the kind
hearted American mililona naires-Andrew
Carnegie. for instance-would come for
ward and give a whole or part of the
balance necessary. He even tried out"
some OF his arguments on me; told me
how Shakespeare was a common posses
sion of the American and the English
people, how, little later on, a Shakes
peare memorial theatre could be erected
in the United States and the two institu-
tions work together on an exchange sys-
tenn, etc. I gathered, further, that that

LONE INDIAN SNATCHES
325 FROM FLOOD WATERS

From the wabash, Ind. Plain Dealer.
They all come back with the same tale
the tale of Chief Bundy.
Not all of them told it the same way
for they are not all alike in talk and
temperament. But in substance the story
was always the same.
Chief Bundy, hero of the Easter flood
on the wabash-that is the tale
And what tale it is.
A tale of calmness and courage; of
strength and skill: of nerve and nobility;
of il clean limbed body and a clear eyed
soul
A tale that will be worth the telling to
ones children, and ones children's chill
dren.
They call him Chief Bundy He is an
Indian. and he is worthy to wear the
title of chief. whether he was descended
from the royal wigwa'm of his tribe or
not.
Chief Bundy has been on the job over
there in South Peru ever since the flood
started. Something told him there would
be need of him and his canoe there and
he went early.
All day Tuesday and all night Tuesday
night; all day Wednesday and all night
Wednesday night--that is how long he
went before he laid up to take a smoke
and a snooze.
At the end of "a hours of flood fight
ing the best boatmen among the whites
we're exhausted. At the end of "a hours
of flood fighting Chief Bundy was as
good as at the start
And those white boatmen were not to
be sneered at. They had grit and muscle
and stout hearts and capacity for endur-
ance beyond most men. but the end of
"a hours they had to give up. Some of
them were enough rested after u hours
to go back. When they returned Chief
Bundy was still on the job.
Only those who saw him can make you
