The referee system in the South
under which men named at Wash
ington as referees" settled patronage
questions in the solidly Democratic
States, instead of the congressman
and senator's, as in more debatable
States. has been the target of Demo
cratic speIl-binders in practically ev-
cry national political campaign. but
there comes time to every Demo
cratic congressman when he is almost
willing to rise and call it blessed
Just now is one of those times. Dur
ing the last twenty years a congress
man in Virginia had little say in
patronage matters and could usually
eNade disappointed ofF1ce-sekers by
shifting the blame to the shoulders OF
the referee. that gentleman being In
this particular, at least, as much q
devil as he was frequently painted.
Now. however, a Democratic presi-
dent Is about to enter the White
House TO make appointments and a
Democratic senate is ready. If not will
ing, to pass upon them. So IL has
come TO pass that offiCe-seekers in the
South once again have awakened TO
the fact that there are such things as
congressmen and senator's and that
thes gentlemen have in their hands
the disposition OF numerous offices.
for in practically every case what rsae
congressman or senator says will go
with the president and senate in maxi
ing minor appointments.

little thing like that might gain some

Fourth district. Congressman Elect
Watson is beginning 10 wish that Rob

he has been compelled to address o

is no hurry about the matter. Any
way. he says, the candidates have not

means the fact that there are twenty
postottice positions not under civil

Coroner r. H. Boucher IL in receipt
Of an inquiry from. Albert Dickerman.
an attorney Of watsonville. Cal, who
u seeking Information concerning
James B. Durham. an Iowa veteran.
who has been missing since 1905.
According to the inquirer, Durham
was veteran Of Company K Eleventh
Iowa infantry, and was last heard
from at Maxwell. He IL said to have
left there in 1905. saying he was COM
ing to this city to enter the soldiers
home. He had previously been men,
Der OF the home. and left here July 4.
1902. The records show that he never
returned as a member.
Later II was learned that he was at
the national home at LeavenWorth,
Kan for a short time in 1905. After
he had left there Dickerman was told
that the body OF man was found in
the woods near this city. and the de-
scription of the dead man Tailed IN
many respects with that Of Durham.
Durham was u pensioner and very
likely had his pension certificate with
him. He drew his pension Aug. 4. 1908,

JUDGE BRADSHAW DEcllNES TO

TON PETITION.
CASE WILL NOT END
WITH THIS HEARING
Defeated Faction Will Very Probably
Continue It BY Appeal or BY New
Proessdings in the Local Court
Arguments Being Mads-Cass tes
Submitted Late Today.

Whether 1t was necessary, in order
10 make the proceedings legal, TO post
five notices in each Independent dis
trict, or whether the notices posted in
the corporation of Ferguson were all
that were necessary is the point at is
sue involved in the suit TO prevent the
consolidation Of the Ferguson schoo!
district and all or part of seven adj
jacent districts,
The evidence was completed in
Judge Bradshaw'S court this forenoon.
and the arguments We're being made
when court adjourned for lunch. 1t is
not known whether Judge Bradshaw
will reserve his ruling for later date
or hand down a decision at once. The
case will probably be submitted late
this afternoon.
Question Involves Notices.
Judge Bradshaw declined to pass on
whether or not the petition calling the
election was or was not sufficient.
Basing his ruling on a spreme court
decision. he held that he had no juris-
diction to go back of the finding of the
trustees of the township, who had
canvassed the petition and had held il
sufficient. With this point at issue
out of the way, the chief question in
controversy, was regarding the legality
Of the notices posted calling the cleo
ton.
The attorney for the ten voters OF
the districts consolidated, who are the
plaintiffs. is contending that the law
required that at least FIVE notices must
be posted in each district to be taken
into the consolidation. The lawyer de-
Tending the school board holds that the
six notices posted were more than SUI
hcient and that all that the law re-
CURED was that five notices be posted
in the corporation Of Ferguson.
Case Not End With Hearing.
There is every probability that the
case will not end with this hearing,
whichever side wins. One or both
sides will appeal or bring the action
in different form again before the
local trial court. 1t is possible that
proceedings in certorari may be begun
by some other voter Of the district, to
again bring the case before the local
court for the purpose of having the
entire proceedings having to do with
the election brought into court and re-
viewed. Such an action would include
reviewing Of the petition Of the cleo
ton.
