One hundred and seventy-five politicians are striving to gain the 35 positions to be filled. The Republican and Democratic par ties are agreed upon their respective platforms. There Is no Issue except por- j fconal cholco between them. The pro hibitionists seek to get in political con trol so they can close the saloons. Hearst's Independent leaguers promise number of seml-soclallstic reforms. Their strongest plea is to the voters to emancipate themselves from profes sional politicians, who have so often be trayed them. The socialists purpose to establish city ownership of utilities, the expenditure of taxes to furnish employ ment to the unemployed, industrial schools and a general reform of the en tire municipality.

"Upon my first general view of this aspect of the case I became impressed that the attorneys for the government should adopt and pursue one Dplicy, and it is mv hooe that congress will take the same view and that nothing will occur to waste, waive or In any wav Impede any of the government's remedies. Forfeiture will be the one most likely and most substantial rem edy. The department of justice felt It self in duty Douna to see mac cms remedy was not waived. On examina tion it became extremely doubtful if the attorney general would claim for feiture without authority or congress. The constitution commits the disposi tion of the public lands to congress, and a claim of forfeiture Is included in that power. If the attorney general can claim forfeiture, he can waive forfeiture. Therefore, the attorney general applied to conrress to remove the doubt and au thorize the claiming of forfeiture. The attorney general simply asks permission to preserve an tne rignts or tne government.! Purchasers not Afzeotea. "In other words, the situation is simply this: The people of the United States ask permission to apply to one of their courts to adjudicate and en force their rights. What private in terest shall presume to impose terms? This resolution does not affect pur chasers from tho railway company. The remedy against these purchasers, If any, is to have their deeds declared void, The attorney-general has full authority against these purchasers, without the resolution. No remedy nor any right is conferred by the resolution which affects purchasers.
