ENLARGED
TO 7 COLUMNS

Just year ago today the writer
purchased Mr.. Clyde Hansen's in
terest in the Examiner Publishing
Co. and assumed the management
of the paper. During the year we
have made some improvements in
the plant, the most important of
which was the purchase of new
press which was installed for the
purpose of enabling us to print 3
larger and better paper, and today
the Examiner appears in seven col
umn form, which makes it the larg-
est paper ever printed in Bear Lake
county. While the change was
made necessary by the increased
amount of advertising at this time,
we anticipate that the patronage
will be such as TO enable as to keep
the paper this size permanently.
We were compelled TO go to
some expense IN enlarging the Ex-
aminer and will state that the stock
upon which the paper is now print
ed will cost more each week than it
did before. We also wish to re.
mind our readers that the new press
is not paid for yet, for the reason
that the money which belongs to ut
is in the pockete of 600 or 700 oil
our subscribers. The sooner those
who owe from 81. so to $3 90 on sub
scription, transfer our money from
their pockets TO ours, the sooner w'
will be able to pay for the press

NO MORE STOP
OVER PRIVILEGES

Beginning the first of October
stopover privileges except on round
trip tickets will be discontinued by
the railroads of the country, and
passengers purchasing tickets must
buy from place to place if they wish
to stay over anywhere before reach
ing their destination. This step the
railroads claim Is necessary TO do
away with the "scalping" evil which
it is said has reached proportions
where the roads lose thousan Is of
dollars annually. It is-the consen-
sus of opinion of the travelling pub.
lie, however, that travel will largely
decrease as result of this step.
Under the new arrangement on
all tickets not good for return pass
age, tourists coming west for ths
winter get no chance to visit the
cities ehroute unless they purchase
round trip tickets and as#rsnge at
the time of starting for certain go-
going time. Persons making trips
must complete them in the ''goiug
time" and stopovers will be allow
/, ed only long enough to make train

REFUSE TO CERTIFY
TO NOMINATIONS
The Secretary Of State and State Treasurer Vote
Against Certification Of Nominations-An
will be Taken to Supreme Court.

81 wish at this time to interpose an
objection to any member of this
board voting who is an interested
party in the certifcatlon of nom
inees."
The whole matter will probably
be taken up to the supreme court
for settlement. The legal proceed
ings, it is anticipated, will be in the
form of application for writ of
mandate compelling the secretary of
state to certify the certificatlon of
the majority of the board down to
the county auditors.
The contention of the majority of
the state board is that more than
1000 people were voted for on sec
ond choice, that this accounts for
the enormous discrepancies between
first and second choice votes as
shown on the abstracts sent in by
the various counties, that a recount,
as proposed, would complicate eiec-
tion matters hoplessly, that to COM
pei the county boards to account for
second choice votes would entail
great delay, that the canvassing
board cannot go behind the official
returns as sent in by the counties,
and that no matter what the conten-
ton may be as to discrepancies in
the abstracts between first and sec
Ond choice votes, nevertheless the
majority of the board rules, and
therefore the vote has been duly
canvassed and legally certified by
three bers, including the gov
ernor, the state auditor and attor-
ney general.-Statesman.

state convention after bitter fight
on the floor. A decisive vote came
on motion to substitute Colo mel

.GAYNOR WILL NOT
RUN FOR GOVERNOR

Rochester, Sept 2S-The men
who will run the convention that
opens here tomorrow to nominate
the next Democratic state ticket,
had hard days work before them
when they arose today. The unex-
pected scratching of Mayor Gay
nor's name from the list of guber-
Material candidates, whereby near
ly universal opinion he held first
place, left the leaders confronting a
problem. "Wlth Gaynor we
should have so cleaned up the state
that the Republican party would
have to go out of business" said a
New York delegate this morning.
Thomas NJ. Osbourn's friends are
putting him forward as the prime
exponent of the ''new Democracy,
and most logical candidate in view
of the Importance which the plat
form will attach to charges of Re-
publican misrule and corruption.
A similar claim is made by hackers
of James S. Haven. Forecasts of
the platform declare the direct
nominations plank will be about as
radical as language can make it.
Other planks will deal with tariff
reform and deuunciation of ''Roose-
veltism," or New Nationalism
