Watching; Meeting of Stalwarts. TWO ELEMENTS IN FIGHT Radical Want to Rene Old Far tloaul Row, While Conservative Would Ileal Wounds Rleunrds for Teaser's Oppournt. "PIERRE, 8. D., Jan. (Speclal.)-The question which Just at present la agitating the minds political In this stite is what la to be the outcome Of the stalwart con ference at Huron February 1. slt Is a well known secret that the radicals among the stalwarts desire to repeat the bitter fight of two years ago In the primaries, while the conservatives among that faction have no such a desire, but want a campaign de void of the bitterness and factionalism of two yt ars ago. The outcome of the Huron meeting will no doubt depend largely upon which element la In control. The situation at present seems to revolve arouna ins governorsnip. w nue oiner oi flclal positions are occasionally brought out In the discussions the situation In varlab'y centers on that one position. Just at the present time it looks like a case of Vessey against the field, with the backers of the field hunting for what looks like a winner to put In the race. While this feeling Is largely-among (he old line stal warts, It also exists among some of the disappointed progresnlves, ' who have not been satisfied with all Governor Veeney has so far dune In his first term. The indication at the present appears to he that tho stalwart otmference wll'. settle upon either E. L. Abel of Huron or Ex Governor Elrod of Clark as their choice, with the Indications looking toward the selection of Abel. On the other hand there Is a rumor that the rrfllcal In the stal wart ranks will ask for the endorsement of R. O. Richards at the Huron confereu-ce, under the belief that Richards will bring over a number of the votes of the oppo sition faction through the workings of his primary league. Richards Appear Willing. The position of Richards himself up to the present Is one of itarkis. If his papers are to be considered in any way reflecting his personal views. He has neither announced himself as a candidate nor denied that he will ask for the place, his position srf far being that Governor Vessey has hot made good as a "candidate of the people," and that someone should be selected who will do the will of the people In the gov ernor's chair. If he really gets Into the fight It Is possible that he will cut into the Vessey strength to some extent, but the governor wll: probably draw to him self enough of the stalwart vote of two years ago to offset any loss he would suffer In that direction. The only other "republican" candidate is George W. Egan of .Sioux Falls, who is a spectacular platform orator, and who has started to warm up the people for the June campaign, making his first talk In his campaign at Mitchell a few days ago, and Vhose strength is as much of a problem now as it was last summer, although it appears to be somewhat on tha wane. The democrats are talking E. S. Johnson of Rapid City or P. F. Wlckham of Alex andria as possible standard bearers of their party for the governorship, but when they come to gather around the board thoy may find some one else who will be either more likaly or more "willing." Second "Place "Caudldate. For lieutenant got rnor, F. M. Byrne of Faulk-.' county Is ionked upon as the moet probable candidate of the progreaslveg, and J, W Parmiey of Edmunds Is being boosted as a candidate of the stalwarts for that tlace. The congressional situation Is yet much in the air, and with Martin and Burke ask ing for the renomination, It is a ijueotlun 'who the progressives will put In opposi tion. The only issue which has been raised bgalnst either of them as yet la "Cannon ism," and it looks as if Uncle Joe Intends to (eliminate himself as an iasue, and in such case the issue which has been raised will Jose its force before the campaign comes on. No one has as yet announced himself in oppoaitlon, to either George Johnson, the stalwart treasurer, nor to C. S. Polley, the progressive secretary of state. This may be "remedied" before the days 'get much longer. For the atate land department, J. E. Tru- ran, the present deputy In that department, and F. F. Brlnker of Lake county have so far announced their candidacy, neither allying himself as a factional candidate, but only as republican. The situation so far aa superintendent of Instruction is concerned appears to ba set tling down between C. H, Lugg of Hutch inson, who is classed with the stalwart fac tion, and C. G. Lawrence of Lincoln, who Is classed as an insurgent and being boomed aa a counter-irritant to the candidacy of George Johnson, stalwart treasurer, from that county. - So far the "Johnson" element In the cam paign appears to be confined to the candi dacy of George 'Johnson of Lincoln for treasurer, Royal C. Johnson of Hyde for attorney general, and John M. Johnson of Lyman, who wants to be state auditor. Geososiy Sole Issue. About tha only state Issue which appears to have made ltaelf apparent in the cam paign so far Is one of expense of operation of tha stale. Tha stalwarts claim 'they turned over the state affairs to the insur gents three years ago practically out of debt and that the extravagance of the administrations of Governors Crawford and Vessey have run up a debt of practically $1,000,000. Thlk they claim, Is unwarranted, and that if they had bin left In control of affairs such a condition would not have existed. They lay the lnciease to the cre ation of a lot of new offices. The pro gressives' answer to this is that out of the increase in Indebtedness over IGOO.000 la In Improvements and buildings at the different state Institutions, which must be kept up to meet the growth of the atate; that any new offices created are fee offices and have no bearing on state in debtedness; that there Is bound to be an Increase In state expenditures a the stats grows, and that the Increase in this line haa been but a little over ftt.000 In the time since they took control of affairs, and that such Increase would have been In evitable under any management. Horn of the "minor prophets" of the progressive wing of the party attempt to excuse In creased expenditures through the -cost of the new capltol, but they ran not aland upon this, aa that building la not being constructed from money secured by taxa tion, but by the sale of lands donated to the state by the general government, and that Is not a cause of Increase. Old Flaht mar Bob I p. While conservatives in both factions have been hoping for a primary campaign, with tha bitterness of two years ago elln'iiaied, the situation Just at present looks like a strong attempt to renew the old fight. But In this the spaders who would like to ne the fight under way will find that It will be hard to work up among tha voters such an enthusiasm as was In the air two years ago. The people want "reform" In chunks, and after their ardor in that direction has ooolsd down they ax more than likely to bagla to throw the ajn "chunks" baak aa missiles at the men who they whooped tip for but a short time ago. They want a chance to rest after their strwnuosltr and propose to have It even If they have to fight for It. While the primary la hottlked by the old time politicians, regardless of which faction they are allied with. It has come to tay In this state. It will probably bs changed in soma of Its provisions, but tho pecpte generally are satisfied with It, and tha man who would seek Its overthrow will find himself outslda tha , breaatworka of any political camp before he half finishes his campaign. I Taft Will Push Sherman Act Cases Attitude Toward Federal Incorpora tion Will Not Stop Froteca tiom in Court. WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-Callers at the White House who have sounded the presi dent recently as to his attitude toward the prosecution of the so-called trusts, report that regardless of whether the proposed vpluntary federal corporation law Is passed or not, the administration Is preparing to PU.t into effect a vigorous policy of dealing 'vith the big combinations so as to bring them within the provisions of the anti trust laws. The president haa let It be known that he Is at this time merely awaiting the declsloti of the supreme court In the Standard Oil and tobacco trust cases before directing the attorney general to take up anNnqulry into the more notorious of the other trusts.

I No Money for Immigration "Board House Cuts Out Appropriation for Commi3ion Charged With Junketing". WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. The $12o,000 ap propriation for the Immigration commission was stricken out of the urgent deficiency bill in the houne tdday on a point of order by Representative Macon (Ark.), leaving tho commission without an appropriation. Mr. Macon, in a speech, declared that the commission had made its recent foreign trip a "Junket" and he said he would do all In his power to "strangle" the commission. "How the Immigration commission could work on an investigation for two years and spend ijT,9tt3 Is beyond the compre hension of an humbld member of congress," declared Representative Butler (Pa.). Mr. Sabath (lip declared the commission's work so far "for this large sum Is not worth that many pennies."

RIVERS NOT FOR RATE WAR Commission Against Improvements Merely to Hit Railroads. , FROWNS' ON TOLL SYSTEM Report Holds that Federal Qovera raeat Haa Proprietary Right V la Navigable Stream. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. Almost every section of ths country will find subjects of local as well as general Interest In the preliminary report of the National Water ways commission submitted to congress today. The report Is based upon a com prehaniva Investigation In this country and abroad and w ill be followed by a sub sequent report with further recommenda tions. ' This preliminary report recommends," among other things, a general plan of con servation of water power, with the shap ing oi projects in me ugnt or luture neefl of streams; resort to federal and state lear Islatlon rather than to unnecessary chan nel improvement merely to enforce reduc tion of railroad freight rates, with inhibi tion, on the other hand, of manipulation of such rates to frceie out water competi tion; a uniform system, of distribution of cost of waterway Improvement between federal, state and local governments; avoid ance of multiplication of ports; restriction of dam construction permits, inauguration of such waterway projects only as can be completed within a reasonable time; a fed eral tax on power furnished to consumers; reservation by the government of power to alter or repeal power rights. Frowns en Toll Charge. The commission holds that the federal government has no proprietary Vlght or in terest In navigable wuters, which would authorise the collection of tolls. It be lieves that each consent to construct a dam should provide that the grantee when ever necessary to subserve navigation In terests must construct and furnish power for a lock suited to the locality 'and to probable traffic development. Such re quirements are claimed to be free from legal objections which might be maintained against a avstem of tolls. Power developed at government dams for navigation or Irrigation purposes should bo utilised and adequately charged for. Tho oommlss'on recommends that beforo the granting of rights to construct dams In any navigable stream, the whole stream, or at least such parts as will be affocted by the propored construction should be care fully surveyed, that If constitutional author ity therefore exists these grants should authorise the secretary of war or other official to regulate the charge for the power rurnlshed consumers and should expressly reserve to congress the right to alter, amend or repeal. Rates Not Primary , Object'. While not denying the tendency of river Improvements to lower railroad rates, - the commission holds It underMrable to expend money upon river channels solely for this effect upon such rates. The fundamental criterion, it says, should be whether a railway or a watarway, when constructed or improved, will be a profitable Invest ment. Pointing out that the railways have temporarily reduced rates and continued them upon a lo-ver basis until competing water lines have bean driven out of busi ness the commission recommends that when a rate la once thus reduced by a railroad It should not be permitted to raise again unless after a' hearing by tho Interstate Commerce commission orvuther competent body it should be found that uch proposed Increase rests upon changed' conditions other than the elimination or decrease of water competition.' Railways and Water Lines. - The most essential requirement for the rehabilitation of water traffic Is asserted to be the establishment of harmonious re lations between railways and water linos. Iin practically every cesc of water routes the boats are operated, the report says, in connection, and in harmony with rail-w-ay lines. The commission believes the transportation facilities will b still fur ther promoted by compelling Joint rates and , pro-rating agreements, through bills of lading and physical connection between rail and water agencies, separate ware houses and terminal systems for railroads and waterways being often a wsste ot capital. Terminal and wharfage charges should be reasonable regardless of the ownership of these facilities. The commission cannot see Its way clear to recommend a general' power to fix minimum rates, but a majority of the com mission would recommend empowering the Interstate Commerce commission to pre scribe minimum railroad rates whenever in Its opinion the object of a railroad In reducing rates Is to decrease waterway competition.. Communities Must Co-Operate. Referring to criticisms upon the delay of congress In tha development of ' water routes, the commission points to the fact that the use of the improved channels In many Instances haa not been commen surate -with the expense Incurred and to a lack of progresalveness In providing suit able freight-carrying facilities and to fail ure to provide modern terminal equipment. No federal Improvement will suffice, the commission Insists, without co-operation of communities and business Interests ' and between rail and water routes. A uniform system Is recommended, ap plicable to all waterways, under which sta tistics may be collected, showing the vol ume and different kinds of traffic carried on the rivers and Inland channels. This country is declared to be far behind sev eral European countries in the accuracy of Inland navigation statistics and the commission wants to see mors extensive Information regarding high and low water and average discharge of the streams in order to frame and affect plans for Im provements. . i Decrease ia Water Traffic. The most striking Instance cited of de crease in water-borne traffic Is that of the Erie canal, though the commission regards aa "quite as striking" the decrease in traf flo on tha Mississippi river and its tribu taries. Tho report says, on tha other hand, that the traffic on the great lakes haa Increased enormously. Improvements not essential to navigation should not be undertaken by the federal government, the commission thinks, and Improvements In rivers and harbors should not be made, unless sufficient assurance ia given that proper wharves, terminals, etc., shall be furnished, on reasonable charges, by municipal or private enter prises. Summarising conditions abroad, the com mission says that the averags European freight rates on railways paralleling water routes, especially for shost distances, are higher than In the United States. Ths European rates for water-borne carriage ars as high, or higher than railway in the United States, where ths traffic Is likewise large.
