HaWIeY will Not
be a Candidate

The nomination for congress
could not be handed to James II.
Hawley of Boise, ex-governor of
the state, on a silver platter. He
was asked if he would be a can
didate for congress as had been
rumored and made a statement
he would not.
eff the certificate of nomina-
ton were laid on this plate before
me and a certified check for
$4,000 with which to defray the
cost of the campaign, l would be
highly battered, but l would de-
cline the offer with thanks" said
Mr.. Hawey, adding, "of course
l would be mighty glad to keep
the certified check but can think
of no combination of circum-
stances that would at this time
induce me to enter politics and
make the race for congress"
Speaking of the recent action
of the Democratic committee i'm
turning down the preferential pri-
mary plank, Mr.. Hawley said:
you can be assured of one
thing, that had 1 been present at
the meeting there would have
been one more vote for the ref
crendum. l consider it Demo
cratic and right to let the voters
pass on all matters of Importance
either to the party or public well
fare. I regret that the suggestion
of the Baltimore platform and the
Democratic national committee
was not accepted and followed by
the Idaho Democrats. am sure
that it would have resulted i'm
much better feeling within the
party in the long run"
