It is no secret that Mr. Ballinger is anxious that the reclama- tion work shall be taken out of Mr. New- ell's hands.

At this point Attorney Lucas for the de- tense aross and tald the court that he had nothing to say then. As Dr. Hyde remained standing Judge Latshaw continued: “The judgment of the court, Dr. Hyde, s that you be confined in the state penitentiary at Jetferson City at hard labor for and during the period of your natural life.” A moment later Dr. Hyde had resumed his seat by his wife at the attorneys' table. His attorney asked the court to grant bail. This Judge Latshaw said he could not do and then Mr. Lucas presented an affidavit for an appeal to the state supreme court.

No Repeal of Primary Law.

Only three or four counties mentioned the sys- tem adversely while & number declared for continuance of the law. The full con- trol of the state convention by the per- sons responsible for the passage of the law | makes It certain the state convention will not act adversely.

The act cannot be enforced and the government will be helpless to safeguard the public or prevent fraud.
