Addison +. Smith of Twin Falls,
present secretary to Senator Hey
burn, has announced his candidacy
for congressman subject to the ac-
tion of the Republican primaries.
For over twenty years Addison
L. Smith has been identified with
the Idaho delegation in congress,
having been selected by the late
Senator Shoup as his secretary in
1891, shortly after the state was
admitted into the Union, which
position he held until the senator's
retirement from the senate in 9Ol
During the following two years
ne remained in Washington at the
senator's request to represent HIM
as Republican national committee
man for Idaho in the disposition of
federal appointments, the state be-
ing then represented by two Demo-
cratic senators and a Democratic
congressman. On the election of
senator Hepburn, Mr.. Smith was
rendered and accepted the position
of secretary, which he has held con-
tinuously excepting for one year

States land office at Boise.
His services to the party organ
ization in the state began during

Republican state central committee,
having charge of the settlement and
payment of the expenses incurred

B. F. ritter BOOSTS
FOR BEAR LAKE

B. F. Ritter was here from Logan
several days the past week looking
after the interests of the Ritter
Bros Drug Go.
In talking with an Examiner rep
resentative, Mr.. Ritter said he was
confident that with little effort
upon the part of the business men
of Montpelier, capital from Logan
could be induced to establish milk
condensing plant here. This indus
try is proving so successful in
Cache valley that new plant has
been erected at Franklin. If five
plants can do business in Cache
valley, one certainly ought to thrive
in Bear Lake valley, said Mr.. Ritter.
During the conversation Mr.. Rit-
er said there was no doubt but what
the Short Line would extend the
railroad from Preston to connect
with the main line at Alexander,
within the next two years. 1t il
known that Mr.. Bancroft favorl
the extension and has even recon
mended its construction, and it nov
only remains for the directors t.
make the Appropriation for th'
work. When this road is construct
ed Mr.. Ritter says he expects to Sc
train service established betweel
Montpelier and Salt Lake, via thl
cutoff. Such a service would he'll
Montpelier for it would have ten
dency to bring trade here from Ger
tile valley.
In conclusion Mr.. Ritter urged u
to keep pounding away on the mil
condenslng plant until one is 81
cured, for it is the one industr
which will put more money INT
circulation here than any other Ell
terprlse that could possibly be e
tablished in Montpelier,

NOTICE OF ELECTION
MUST BE- PUBLISHED

The Examiner calls the attention
of the school trustees of Bear Lake
county to the law relative to the
election of trustees and the voting of
special tax for school purposes. This
law was enacted by the recent spec
ial session of the legislature and is
now in effect. The clerks of the
various school boards will note that
the law requires them to have the
notice of the annual election pub
lished in two issues of the newspap-
er nearest to the place of holding the
! election.
In voting special levies at the COM
ing election the people should bear
in mind that the new law provides
that all tax levies shall be made up
on the basis of 40 per cent of the ac-
tual cash valuation OF the property
within the district.
The new law is as follows
"Section 81 ta) The annual school
meeting for the transaction of the
| Ptiioot AtiSbliIL bildli DC ntht
on the third Monday in April The
clerk of the board of trustees shall
cause notices to be posted, using
blanks provided by the County Su-
perintendent for that purpose, speci-
flying the time and place of such
meeting, and what business shall be
transacted at said meeting.
/ "Said notice shall be published in
two issues in a newspaper nearest
the place of holding said election and
posted in three public places in the
| district, one of which shall be in the
school house, if there be one, at least
ten days previous to time of meet
ing. If the clerk fails to give such
notice then any two legal voters re-
siding in the district may give such
notice over their own names, and
such annual meeting may be held
after the day fixed in this section for
such annual meeting.
"All elections of trustees shall be
opened by one of the trustees or by any
qualified elector if no trustee be pres
dnt at the time specified in the no.
tiee. If no time is specified in the
notice then the polls shall open at
O'clock p. m. and close at 8 o'clocl,
p. m. of the said day.
"Said election shall be conducted
as any other county election, except
that one judge and one clerk may
constitute the board Of election, anC
any trustee or qualified elector may
administer the oath to said judge ant
clerk
Said annual meeting shall deter
mine if "a special tax shall be levied

ceed fifteen mills on each dollar o
) taxable property. Said special tai
shall be for building or repairing
school property, for school equip

Judging from outward appear.
ances, it would seem that the SUPER
iative of harmony existed in the
r3nks of Idaho Democracy, but in
ttrviews with number of promin-
ent local Democrats who will con-
sent to talk give hints of some
what different situation.
Regarding national issues 1t seems
that each faction is simply waiting
for the other TO make a move, and
that the first positive move made
by any one faction is liable to bring
about ruction between the sup
porters of the various Democratic
hopefuls that will make the Roose-
velt-Taft alteration look like a
schoolboy's quarrel.
As in the Republican ranks, the
Democrats have the question to
settle of how the national delegates
are to be chosen and whether or
not they are to be instructed.
During the recent visit Of Will
liam ]. Bryan it was made appar-
ent that the Nebraskan wants an
uninstructed delegation from Idaho.
John f. Nugent, the state chair
man of the Democratic party, is
thought to be tn sympathy with the
plan.

M'KINLEY OPPOSED
To THIRD Term

On June Il, 1901, William
Mckinley, who had been reelected
for second term and who had b, en-
urged by some republican leaders
to stand for third term, made the
following announcement to the
people thru the newspapers aud
himself handed it to the Washing
ton correspondent of the Eagle that
day:
Executive Mansion, Washington,
June, 10, 1901.
regret that the suggestion of a third
term has been made. | doubt whether
am called upon to give it notice, but
there are new questions of the grayest
importance before the administration
and the country, and their just consid-
Grafton should not be prejudiced in the
public mind by even the suspicion Of
the thought of a third term.
In view therefore, of the reiteration
of the suggestion Of it, will say now
once for all, expressing long-settled
conviction, that ! not only am not and
will not be a candidate for third term,
bnt would not accept b nomination
for it if it were rendered to me.
My only ambition is to serve thru my
second term to the acceptance of my
,countrymen, whose generous confidence
l 50 deeply appreciate. and then with
them to do my duty in the ranks of
private citizenship
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
In September 1901, following
this statement of June 10, 1901,
President Mckinley was assassin
ated and Vice President Roosevelt
entered on his first term as Presi-
dent. After his election to Sec
obd term in 1904, President Roose.
welt issned his two renunciations of
third term. None of these extracts
needs any more comment than they
make of Themselves to any candid
and intelligent mind.
President Mckinley went to his
grave loved, lamented, trusted,
honored, and, we hope, not yet for
gotten. Mr.. Roosevelt has brought
himself to the observation of the
country with the results which the

DEMOCRATS TREAD|NC
ON VERY thin ice
Factional Fight Scheduled to Break Out at the
Meeting Of State Central Committee
Side Waiting for the Other to Move.

In the rank and file of the party,
however there ls said to be differ
ent sentiment. One faction of the
party is known to favor preferen.
tial primary, and when the state
central committee meets to decide
how the delegation is to be selected
it is believed that the advocates OF
that method may start the fight.
The meeting of the committee
has been called for March 20, and
in some quarters it is predicted that
the fight in the ranks of the Demo-
Gratis will start with vengeance on
that date.
There is a strong sentiment de.
veloping, too, in favor of electing
l6 national delegates and giving
each one a half vote instead of eight
delegates with one vote each and
eight alternates with no voice what
ever in the Baltimore convention.
With the 16 votes it is argued that
the different parts of the state would
have better representation.
Governor Hawley is quoted as
saying that he regrets that his trip
to San Francisco will make it i'm
possible for him to attend the meet
ing of the state committee Boise

Some Of our dairymen might try the
plan Of the Wisconsin, farmer. as told in
the following dispatch from Milwaukee.

J. Gilbert Hiccox, bank director and
farmer. producing milk Of quality. has
discovered that the use of cheap ,phono-

He tried the experiment on the theory
that music at milking time would make
