Would Repeal 18th and 18th
Amendment

Washington, d. c., Having
determined to arouse, if possible,
a national sentiment for the re-
peal of the fourteenth and fif-
teenth amendments, Sen. James
X. Vardaman, of Mississippi, be-
gan his work by issuing a state
ment recently. He defended
the proposed repeal by a reason
able proposition, saying that the
ratification of the amendment
was bogus, and, including Abra-
ham Lincoln, all the great Civil
war leaders were united against
granting political equality to ne
groes.
Some days ago Mr.. Vardaman
announced he would press reso-
lutions for the repeal of these
amendments as soon as the regu-
lar session begins in September.
he does not regard his goal as
unattainable, and is confident he
can impress the majority of the
American people with the justice
OF his position in the matter of
negro suffrage.

this nation. His message to

I was made at the annual meeting
Tuesday. H. w. Meserve was elected
director in the place of w. p. Mans
field, who declined to be a candidate,
his interests not requiring his continued
presence in the valley as formerly.
The new board consists of w. H. Best.
r. E. Wills, j. A. Fielder. Peter p.
HOvley and II. w. Meserve. Following
the annual meeting the directors or
ganized by electing w. E. Best pres
rdent, r. E. Wills vice-president and
R. l.. Cooper secretary. The affairs
Of the company have been conducted
so smoothly that little interest was
taken in attempts TO change the board,
as is usual in the other water COM
panies. Annual reports Of the various
officers were rendered and approved
The annual meeting of Imperial Wa
ter Company No. 8 will be held Tues
day next at the office of the company.
The usual battle over officers will oc-
cur. A few days ago at the call of a
proxy committee selected several
months ago a caucus was held and can
didates for the board Of directors NOM
mated, but some of the men suggested
have been in the contests before ana
did not meet with the approval neces-
sary for a unanimous slate. As a
consequence the proxy committee has
issued a call for another caucus to be
held before the annual meeting, when
another attempt will be made to get
together. Unless some definite action
is taken, the usual result will occur,
with the individual bodies of stock
holders with mutual or particularly
friendly interest working together and
electing a board that may not work
together, although composed of capa
Bile men. Among the subjects thai
may be considered at the annual meet
ing is a proposition to sell stock on
better terms. At present $40 cash is
required. Some of the stockholders
believe that if the initial price is re
duced more stock will be sold and the
country developed sooner, while the
regular assessments will fall on much
larger acreage than at present. The
question Of an auxiliary water supply,
including syphon across New river
at the location of the old flume, or
the construction Of new works in
Mexico TO replace the present flume,
now said to be worn out, is another
issue.
