Mr.. a. H. Dagnall has filed his
pledge as a candidate for congress
in the third district.

We publish today the correspond
ence between State Chairman John
Gary Evans and Senator McLaurin
In fact, the correspondence grew out
of a letter from Mr.. J. A. Banks as
president of the State warehouse as
sociation to the State chairman ask
ing if the committee would permit the
warehouse commissioner to have a
place on the program with the other
candidates, and the reply Of Mr..
Evans is answered by Mr.. McLaurin.
1t seems to US that Mr. Evans is cor
rect in not allowing the commission
er to be a candidate in the State pri-
mary after the action of the State
convention, but he also went out of
his way to make a personal fling at
Nr. McLaurin which was altogether
out of place and not germane to the
subject of the letter of inquiry.
Mr.. McLaurin's answer should be
a plenty for the State chairman. The
remarks of Mr.. Graydon and Mr..
Henderson in the State convention
were altogether out of place and
should not have been made much less
quoted by Mr.. Evans. Mr.. McLaur
ms answer is all right, but we are
inclined to think that it would have
been more complete if he had left off
the reference to our lieutenant gov-
ernor. 1t was not germane to the
subject matter of the correspondence
If we are not mistaken it seems to
US that what Mr.. Evans refers to as
Mr.. McLaurins commercial Democ-
racy is now the chief corner stone
of the Democratic platform. Mr.. Nc
Laurin was just some twenty years
or more ahead of his party. We can
recall that when the Ocala platform
was promulgated a great many Of the
Democrats referred to those who en-
dorsed it as Populists. The federal
reserve banking system and the ware
house system and the rural credits
bill are but carrying out the princi-
pies underlying the Ocala platform.
of course, we have no doubt they
are in more perfect shape, but the
principle is the same. The burden Of
the argument of the advocates of the
Ocala platform was that the govern
ment should lend money direct to the
farmer on his cotton and his land.
But we can see no good in digging
up the past in these matters. Condi-
tons have changed and men change
with them. If Mr.. McLaurin has the
proof against Mr.. Evans as to wha.
he says of him then he should not
be head of the party in this State.

long step toward realization of such
policy under which every unit of the

gan at the bottom. There was no as

declared, not even adequate information
as to the naval strength of other coun.
tries. To ind what ship was available
for special duty was task of several
hours inquiry.

the admiral, could not in any degree

Land Bill
Provides Reclamation
of 100000 Acre S
Valued at $4,000,

Washington, June 1.-The House bill
ment of 100000 acres of Oregon land
granted the Oregon & California Railroad
was passed today by the Senate. The
lands, valued at about s30,oooooo. are al
legged to have been forfeited by violations
of the terms of the grant, which required
their sale to settlers at $3.50 an acre.
Use Of Proceeds
Amendments were adopted tos provide
that 50 per cent. of the proceeds of re-
sale should go to the state of Oregon, 10
per cent. to the reclamation fund for use
in Oregon and 10 per cent. to the federal
government. The House bill provided that
50 per cent. should go to Oregon for the
use of the roads and schools, 10 per cent
TO the federal government and 40 per
cent. to the general reclamation fund.
Another amendment provides that sales
of land should be made for cash,
The Senate was agreed on the passage
Of the bill, but a two-day fight developed
over the disposal of the money
The lands were granted the railroad in
1866 with the restrictions that they must
be sold to actual settlers in tracts not
greater than 100 acres and at a price not
more than $3.50 an acre. Charges that
the railroad had sold part Of the lands
