THINKS FRENCH WILL
RUN FOR CONGRESS

That Burton l.. French will be a
candidate for congress at the 1916
election and that his candidacy Is
meeting with favor is the opinion Of
G. A. Hagan of Moscow, who attend
ed the meeting of the Republican
state central committee, at Boise.
On his return home Mr.. Hagan gave
out the following statement:
i met prominent men from all
parts Of the state. The sentiment
seems to be that the Republican par
ty will be together in the next cam
paign and will put up a ticket in the
state that will be elected by the old
time majority. 1t seems to be the
sentiment that personal grudges and
personal ambitions must be sacrificed
for the good Of the state and the
party.
1t also seemed to be the general
belief that Burton L. French will be
candidate for congress at the next
election. and while it now looks like
there will be big crop of candidates
for congress everyone seemed to con
cede the nomination and election oi
Mr.. French II he becomes a candi
date. My information is that th'
great personal popularity of Mr.
French among the people of Idah'
was not injured by his defeat for tn,

idea that the state needs the service

A NOBLE WOMAN
CALLED BY DEATH

The death of Mrs. Henry H. Hoff,
which occurred at her home in this
city last Friday morning, took from
our community a noble woman-one
whose life had been devoted TO home
work and in a quiet way aiding the
needy ones within the circle Of her
acquaintance.
Although she had been in poor
health for a member of years, and a
constant sufferer for several months.
she never complained. Even after
she was compelled to take to her
bed, three weeks prior to her death,
she was always cheerful. and fire.
quently expressed the hope that she
would soon be permitted to again
gather with the family around the
table at meal times. But the family
knowing that her hope was in vain,
their loving hands gave her every
comfort possible, and with her hus
band, four sons and two daughters
at her bed side, the end came peace
fully last Friday morning.
Harriet Hoff was a daughter Of
Chauncey and Celestia s. Bacon. ont
of the pioneer families of Salt Lake
She was born in that city on Decem
ber %, 1856, and lived there until ;
year after her marriage to Henry II
