Hits Hot Scent.
Senator Ashurst said he did believe,
however, that "a man named McMur-
ry" had been attempting to influence
improperly the action Of senators with
respect to preventing the cancellation
of certain contract he (McMurry) had
with Cherokee Indians for the sale OF
land whereby he would receive $500,

"He is the smoothest lobbyist I have
ever SEEM" added the senator. He
could carry a bundle Of cells upstairs
without dropping single one.' "
Senator Ashurst said he considered
any man or woman lobbyist" who
buttonholed senator's or members of
congress and urged them to vote for
certain measures or suffer reprisals in
the elections
Defines Lobbyist.
II don't consider man lobbyist
who files legitimate arguments with
congress about matters in which he il
interested" the senator said.
Senator Bacon who followed Sena.
tor Ashurst, said that "out of an abund-
ance of caution he wanted to tell the
committee that he owned small farm
IN Georgia on which some article
might be raised that we're affected by
the tariff. A sewer pipe factor, street
railway, q gas company and an cleo
trio company were other industries In
which Senator Bacon said he had some
interest.

II am sure want no duty on sewer

Alesteer, Okla, prominently identified
with Indian legislation, has contract
with Cherokee Indians for the sale OF
s35, 000,0 worth of land for which he
is to receive 10 per cent. There is a
move in congress now to annul his con-
tracts.
Bacon Not Approached.
Senator Bacon said he had not tried
to influence members of the senate ex-
cept in a general way to urge reduc-
ton of tariff on articles of general use.
II have not listened to single man
or heard a single argument on this
tariff bill;" he said. II have received
great many letters and circulars.
Il have seen very much less effort
to influence legislation in this bill
than in previous ones. It does not
compare with the consideration of the
Payne-Aldrich bill in that respect"

SENATOR CRAWFORD
Will Be Succeeded by Burke,
Says Geo. w. Egan

Sioux City, Sept. Most South
Dakota people want Senator Coe /.
Crawford, senior senator from that
state. defeated at the primary cleo
tion next spring, is the opinion of
George W. Egan. of Sioux Falls, s.
d who was in Sioux City last night.
Mr.. Egan, accompanied by ". f.
Fellow. a Sioux Falls attorney, and
their driver, motored to Sioux City
late yesterday afternoon. They had
dinner last night at the West botel
and then continued on their motor
trip. Mr.. Egan will go to Logan, Ia,
and Omaha, Neb., on legal business.
MI. Egan believes that Congressman
Charles FL. Burke will be the candi-
date to run against Senator Crawford.
He declared that from what he had
seen the general feeling of South Da
kotans was against Senator Crawford.
Senator Crawford's ~ingratitude to his
friends has aided materially in bring.
ing about this state of affairs" Mr..
Egan asserted.
The paramount political question in
South Dakota at the present time is the
coming fight for the senatorship, ac-
cording to Mr.. Egan. He does not
seriously regard the reported an
nouncement that II. l.. Loukes, of
Watertown, will be a contender for
Senator Crawford's shoes.
In discussing the Richards primary
law Mr.. Egan expressed himself as
believing it would have a very no.
ticeable effect on the vote at the pri-
msries. Mr.. Egan said that because
the voters must register on October /
in order to vote the following spring.
the number of ballots cast probably
will be 33 1-3 per cent lighter than at
the last election.

Vermillion Inspector OF the Food

the campaign against filthy slaughter
houses and two prosecutions have
been made recently. One butcher,
who was prosecuted for this reason q
few weeks ago. openly defied the law

house. after paying his fine for the
irst offense and receiving warning
not to use the place again. He has
been brought mp for a second offense
and the justice levied a fine Of $50 and
costs. Another butcher in the north
ern part of the state vas prosecuted
and fined $15 for the fret offense.
Large numbers of butchers feed the
offal from their Strengthening estab-
lishments to their ncgs and seem to
think this perfectly legitimate. How
ever, the evidence is against them
for it has been shown that many dis
eases such as tiichinosis and tubercu-
losis are communicated to hogs in this
way and Commissioner Frary has ruled
that the feeding of slaughter house
offal without previously cooking the
same is contrary to the sanitary law
passed last winter and will enforce the
ruling.
