nam Lincoln'R greatest. tho Cooper

Government Should

Says Senator Kenyon

Washington, January 2O.-What has hap
pened to stockholders of the New York,

held up the Senate today by Senator
Kenyon of Iowa as an argument for gov
ernment ownership of railroads. The SEN
ator was speaking in support Of the Alas
kan railway bill. rs 1t any consolation
to widows and orphans holding New
York, New Haven and Hartford stock
who are told that the dividend has been
passed, to know that s5O.000 of that COM
pany's funds went as a donation to the

asked.
A report of the interstate commerce
commission on the New Haven and Hart
ford manipulations. he declared. showed
that $s24,OOOOOO that did not represent
anything had been loaded ON the backs
of the people. These things, he said, had
made the people of the country willing to
discuss government ownership.
II believe. the senator added, that the
profits of such deals are to. be found in
the bank accounts of the same people
who have sought to plunder Alaska. Bank
robbers are more to be respected than
these railway plunderers, for 1t takes
courage TO rob bank"

SHER|FF'S RACE To
TAKE CENTER OF
STAGE IN COUNTY
Friends of Bodeker and
Austin Begin to Rally.
Lathem Says He Will
Not Retire

1t begins to be evident that the race
for sheriff of the county will eclipse all
other races in point of interest.
With the entrance of George H. Bodeker
and c. W. Austin and the retirement of
Jones G. Moore. the struggle has settled
down to the long grind. 1t is probable
that there will be no other entry.
William T. Lathem, cashier of the Conn.,
mercial Bank and Trust company. having
heard yesterday that a rumor was IN CIR
culation to the end that he would retire
from the race hastened to make a cor
rection.
Il am a candidate for sheriff. he said,
and will be candidate until l am re-
turned a winner April 6. Any report that
I am about to retire or am contemplating
retirement is unfounded.
The feature of the race for sheriff will
be furnished by George H. Bodeker and
c. w. Austin. These two men have long
heen in the limelight In the role of rivals.
Recently Mr.. Austin preferred charges
before the city commission against Mr..
Bodeker, who was then chief. As a re-
suit of an investigation following those
charges Mr.. BodelSer was dismissed from
the service of the city.
Or account of the difference of opinion
or tho part of the people of Birmingham
as to the Justice of the verdict, the
f:ier.t.s of the two have rallied in an
effort to prove the case against Bodeker
and clear Bodeker before the people.
Other candidates in the field are Gus
Lee, ~ j. Batson and r. f. Howard 1t
is now thought improbable that e. l..
Eigdon or Walter Metcalf, both of whom
have been informally discussed. will en-
ter the race.
