ran his long horns straight through

HUBERT WORK MAY SUCCEED
 TO HAYS JOB
Senator New of Indiana Is Understood Not to Want
 Cabinet Position.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Hubert Work, first assistant postmaster gen oral will succeed Postmaster-General Hays, according to information ema- lating from reliable sources.
 Senator New of Indiana, a close 'riend of MT. Hays, has been much discussed as a probable successor to he retiring postmaster-General. Sen tor New however, does not want he job at least not at this time. He has said that he is well pleased with 1is present job as a senator and he s seeking renomination and re-elec- ion in Indiana this year. He has en- tered the fight for another term and $ going to see it through. He could have entered the cabinet at the time If President Harding's inauguration but he preferred to remain in the Senate
 Senator New admittedly faces q stiff fight in the primaries and prob
 bly, in the election. His opponent in he Republican primary will be ex Senator Albert J. Beveridge, who is longing to return to the Senate There is talk that Thomas R. Mar shall, former vice president, will be ! Democratic nominee, although MT Marshalrs friends insist he will not ne a candidate under any circum stances. Perhaps, Tom Taggart of French Lick will be willing to make he race if Marshall won't run. Al my rate, it is generally conceded hat Senator New will have to fight for both renomination and re-elec tiOn

SOLDIERS HAVE LAND MONOPOLY
 ON H0MESTEADS
Get Preference Right on Public land Opened Any
 Time in Next 10 Years.

Under the provisions of resolu- tion introduced by Representative Sinnot, of Oregon, and which was recently passed by Congress, for the next decade ex-soldiers will have a virtual monopoly on all government land opened to homesteaders, accord ing to advices received from Ameri- can Legion headquarters. The Sin not resolution grants ex-sodiers preference rights on lands on the public domain for a period of 90 days after they are thrown open to settle ment
 No official confirmation of the above could be had in Juneau today. Register Frank A. Boyle, Of the To-
 al U. s. Land Office, said that he had not been advised of the passage If the resolution to which reference 5 made, but did not doubt that il had been passed Official notifica ;ion, he said, would probably be re- ceived ip the near future.
 The Sinnot resolution provides that before the general public is per mitted to apply for public lands hrown open within the next 10 years, nen with honorable discharges from he military and naval establishments shall be given a preference right of entry for period of 90 days. This in effect extends a law passed on February 10. 1920. which contained the same provisions but limited the exercise of such rights to two years and would thus have expired the 10th of this month.
 In Alaska, said Mr Boyle, no ax-service men have availed them selves of this preference right up to his time The American Legion re- ports a very different situation eX- sting in the states and asserts, "the overwhelming demand from returned soldiers for an opportunity to take ID homesteads has come hand in hand with gradual decrease in the lvailable tillable lands In recent openings reports show the ratio of applicants to the number of farms available has run as high as 40 to l."
