WARNER GRAHAM A CANDIDATE
Bellows Falls Lawyer Aspires to Seat
In General Assembly

Bellows Falls, Sept 21.-Warner \
Graham Of this place. Governor Flet
cher's secretary of civil and military
affairs, is a candidate for town repre-
sentative and has issued a statement
OF his position on certain questions
as follows:
I'm pursuance of my previous state,
ment declaring myself candidate
for town representative. wish t.
state that as republican candidate
| favor the positive declaration o;
principles contained in the republi
can platform adopted at the recent
state convention. | consider the vote
taken at our last March meeting on
the direct primary referendum TO be
a mandate OF the voters to the next
representative from this town.
Il am convinced that the alarming
increase in the expense of our judici.
airy is matter for serious considera-
ton. | believe that the jurisdiction
of our municipal courts should be
enlarged and their exclusive jurisdic-
tion be materially extended so ,hat
no appeals can be taken therefrom
on questions of fact where the
amount involved is under $500. BY
this action we WIN relieve the con-
gestion Of the county courts, lessen
the expense and expedite litigation.
| believe that there should be some
effective check upon municipal aud
town extravaganza, which places an
unjust burden upon the future. | am
of the opinion that the constant in
creasing Of boards and commissions
is duplication of duties and need
less expense. and know that many
of tho present commissions can be
consolidated with the result Of more
efficiency, a limitation OF responsible
ty. and great saving TO the state.
am also in favor OF a fiat sum for
the members of the legislature,
which | believe will have ten
dency to expedite the business and
shorten the sessions OF the legisla-
ture. believe that one can best
serve this town and state by oppos-
ing much additional legislation, and
by repeating some laws that we now
have. and by insisting upon a strict
and fearless enforcement of existing
law"

which the Hoosac tunnel IS cut on

Since the last issue of the PIoNERH
this sectionIof the Rosebud country

the next dav, Friday, our official re-
cord shows 20 Of an inch ol water,
the next day trace, aud Saturday
night and Sunday the precipitation
measured .93 inches, while Sunday
night and Monday we had fall of
LA inches. Monday night the rain
turned to snow and Tuesday morning
the ground was covered with q light
mantle of the beautiful and the ground
was slightly frozen, it having turned
considerable colder. The preeipits-
tion from Thursday morning of last
week until Tuesday evening Of this
week amounted to just 1868 inches.
The most of this moisture came in the
form of q gentle rain which soaked
iuto the ground aad wet it up in fine
shape. Grass is coming fine ard the
cold snap of Monday night did not
seem to check it's growth any. All of
the dams are now full AID overfowing
and the prospects for a good crop sea-
son were never better in this country
than they are right now. 1t was a
glorious rain, worth thousands of dol
lars to the people of Mellette county
and tho Rosebud country. There is
ample moisture in the ground right
now TO give all sorts Of vegetation Il
good start. The Rosebud country is
goi lg to bloom this season as it never
bloomed before and it is the wise

That Winner correspondent of the
Sioux City Tribune who sent Ill that
story about an Indian shooting up
the town of Wood, certainly has q
fine imagination. There was hardly a
single truthful statement in the re-
port as sent in TO the Tribune. Ni
course such reports are read with
with much interest by the people in
the east, but it does this country a
"a great injustice. We believe the
Rosebud country is as peaceable and
as law abiding as any section OF the
Uuited States, and those who attend
to their own business are just as safe
here as they could possibly be in
even our large centers of population.
We have no objection to the truth be-
ing published about Wood and Mel
iette county, but we do objsct to a
lot Of falsehoods being published to
the world about our town and county
merely to crafty some newspaper
correspondents desire for something
