ton.

The fact that Governor Haines held
conference with Senator John w.
Hart, president pro TEN of the state
senate, whip" of the majority of that
body and strong party leader of the
southeast, at Pocatello the latter part
of last week, the chief executive going
to the Gate city for that special pur-
pose, has. caused not little specula-
ton among party leaders and men
prominent in Republican politics in
this city. Although Senator Hart was
then but recently out of the Idaho
Falls hospital, where he underwent an
operation, the governors mission Is
said to have been of SO much import
ance that he decided to make the trip
to Pocatello.
Information has reached Boise that
the chief executive and the strong
Mormon leader conferred over the ad-
visibility of the governor calling a
session extraordinary for next spring
to take up legislation claimed to be
badly needed and to repair laws that
were not legally passed. What conclu-
sion they came to with regard to the
special session is not known and the
governor is not disposed to give the
details OF the conference. He is, how
| ever, giving serious consideration to
the special session matter.
| 1t Is also rumored in political cir
cles that the governor and the state
senator from the eastern county gave
some of their attention to the Jolley
matter-the discharge of Travelling
Guard Jolley, who the governor dis
missed from the service of the state
because he had written and circulated
over the state letters assailing the
character of the chief executive. That
the governor has a number of these
letters is well known. It Is claimed
that at his conference with Senator
Hart the matter of Jolly's discharge
was discussed. Jolly was for a num-
Der of years sheriff of Oneida county
1t Is said that the fact was disclosed
that while Jolley was assailing Cover
nor Haines he was also lauding the
qualifications of Mayor Hodges of
Boise for the nomination for governor
and that Mayor Hodges has been and
is maintaining press bureau which is
responsible for SO many of the lauda-
tory Hodges letters being circulated
over the state.
third matter that 1t ia rumored
was discussed was the question of
provl0lng an add1t1onal Judicial judge
for the southeastern counties now that
the two new counties of Madison and
Jefferson has been created. It is said
that new jpdgeship in that territory
is absolutely necessary. It has been
tentatively agreed that the first GRIM
inal case to be tried in the new county
OF Jefferson is that of the state against
Billy" Williams and Nose johnson
I'm h4 oh - ~
killing df "Scarface" Thompson at
Mud Lake about month ago. The
case will be heard In Rigby. Judge s.
G. Gwinn Is now the district court
jurist who sits in Fremont and Bonne-
Vile counties and there are said to be
100 cases on the docket for his consid-
Grafton, about 40 of which are GRIMM
al. With the two new counties 1t is
believed more cases will be docketed
and hence the claim for a new judge
