Tor number of West Virginfans
who believe that for the first time
they will have offered them an equal
opportunity with other men to CEN

states which already have the direct
voting law in operation that some
OF these optimists will feel less sat

now think they will be. However,
as that may be, 1t Is fact that a

tous to make a try for II under the
direct form of voting for. this high

hope that they will grow to some ap-
preciable size, materialize. the race
for the senatorship in both parties
Is certain to be a free-for-all with
the entry list full.
To prevent this, there will be the
usual attempt at elimination. y
That Is an, old and much-used play
in the game. Sometimes this can
be done and as many times it can
not. It depends on the situation and
the circumstances, as we'll as the
intensity of the ambitions involved.
In this first try-out Of the direct
election of senators by popular vote
in West Virginia, 1t will be hard
matter to successfully eliminate"
candidates, in our humble opinion,
until the voters do the eliminating
at the polls themselves. The reason
for so thinking because there are not
too many men, right at this mo-
ment, figuring on and decidedly anx-
ious about 1t. to have turn lat this
new toy, the same being running for
a senatorship to be bestowed by the
majority of the votes of the people
OF the commonwealth.
When the politicians are success
full in eliminating" the number Of
candidates down to one-and they
have been in some OF the states un-
der the new order-it defeats the
very purpose for which the popular
election Of senators was intended;
that is, to give worthy and ambitious
men a fair and equitable chance to
secure great honor and high posi-
ton, and the voters the widest scope
for making choice. So far as West
Virginia is concerned the outlook
now is that this purpose will be
achieved. at least, at the FIRST popu-
lar election Of a senator. II that
should be the case, the gentle politi-
cal art Of wedding out the number
of candidates to a minimum, thereby
affording clear field for some ia
vorite who has the party machin-
cry, or in other words elimination"
as aforesaid. will receive heavy
jolt. All promises, combinations Of
candidates for various offices, and
even the time-worn and almost worn
out geographical lines" each one of
which and frequently all OF which
enter into the eliminating process as

more frequently than he. The colonel
himself couldn't get a front page

Virginia or anywhere else, but the
governor did, 80 far as the West vir-
ginta papers We're concerned, at least
and that was what he was after. He
put forth the Legislative contest Wig
orously and his efficient corps Of
publicity experts kept the public eye
focused on that subject and their
chief. In that regard operating the
state committee in an "off year,, and
within limited scope, justified
those who favored the plan. II true,
as some say. that the committee In,
its zeal for the legislature lost sight
Of the congressional contests from
time to time. by no means argues
that having the state committee on
the job in the biennial campaigns
wouldn't be a good thing in the
long run.
Governor Hatfield. it must be ad-
mitted, goes into the senatorshipI
contest with personal organization
that isn't to be despised by any one.
AS governor he has been able to sur
round himself with astute and seas
oned politicians. His campaign for
the legislature gave him an oppor-
tunity to try to extend his influence
over and increase his popularity with
the plain voting public. He will
probably have legislature to his
liking. With 1t he ought to be able,
and doubtless will, to help the pub
lie veal while at the same time help
ing himself along the high road Of
ambition he is travelling.

lemen, while they deplored the neces-
sity of such action by the Government,
were not antagonistic to levees; but
asked that the Board, if under the ex-
listing circumstances it could do so, to
give them some relief from the damages
which will be caused them by this en-
largement.
On motion of commissioner Hill,
seconded by Commissioner Hamley, the
following resolution was adopted by the
Board, to-wit:
Be it resolved, That this Board grant
a right-of-way to the United States
Government, to obtain Pit room for
dirt to enlarge the Bunches Bend levee
in East Carroll parish, La. for a dis
lance as may be required to complete
said work. That this Board will hold
harmless the United States Government
or any of its Engineers for dirt on the
land side of the Bunches Bend Levee
for the purpose of enlarging said levee.
On motion of Commissioner Guthrie,
seconded by Commissioner Kell, the
following resolution was adopted by
the Board:
Be it resolved, that on account of the
peculiar and unusual circumstances and
physical conditions involved id the con-
struction of the Bunches Bend enlarge
ment; that committee be appointed to
assess the damages to crops and the
moving Of the houses along the line Of
the right-of-way.
The President appointed Commissj-
oners E. J. Hamley and R. L. Hill as
a committee with himself to assess said
damage.
There being no further business, the
Board adjourned until the next regular
meeting.

PRESIDENTS REPORT.
To the honorable members of the Board
of Commissioners for the Fifth LOU
isiana Levee District:

To the honorable members of the Board
of Commissioners for the Fifth Lou
isiana Levee District:
Gentlemen:
Since our last meeting the only con-
struction going on in the district was
the state contract at Diamond Island
and the district contract at Reid Biggs.
Owing to the good weather prevailing
and the ample force of teams and men
at command these contracts have made
rapid progress. The Diamond Island
should be completed in two weeks. The
Reid-Biggs is about three-fifths up and
with the Monifham machine putting in
base, where work had already been
topped by machine and with six team
contractors with 257 teams now on the
work it should be completed in : days.
There has been some further caving
at Duckport, the edge of the bank at
nearest point to the toe of the leeve is
12S feet. The state engineers have
located the bank line, which in case of
further caving new loop can be adver-
tised and bids for constructing same
taken. In view of the fact that the
bank has stopped caving and is building
up at point mile above and the valu-
able improvements that will have to be
thrown out in case new loop is neces-
sary, it would be better to defer action
here until further caving develops.
Regarding slough at Moscot levee:
Mr.. Robertson and visited this levee
and decided on manner of repair. let
the contract to ]. c. Newman at 50 cts.
per hour for teams the actual time
they were at work under the supervis-
ion of our parish inspector. They cut
out the slide so feet in length, reflled
it and built banquette6 feet high and
100 feet long in front at cost of 1878.
Acting under instructions of our
Board at its last meeting, l saw Mr..
Cameron, of Cameron White Co., on
June 4th .elative to his ability to handle
the Boards time certificates to the ex-
tent of SIS, 900. 90 in payment on the en-
largement contract of the Reid Biggs
levee. He promised to give us an an
swer at this meeting.
Agreeable to authority granted me to
have repairs made to levees damaged
by rain wash. The Elton repairs have
been completed Except sodding) at q
