for 1t.
For chief clerk Of the house several
applications have been received from
various parts of the state. The more
subordinate positions are also in de-
mand.
Regarding the candidacy of Repre-
sentative Ernest Anderson for speak
err, Representative Newport OF that
county said last night.
1.-The Democratic delegation of Can
yon county Is strong for Ernest Ander-
son Of Parma for speaker of the house
of the Fourteenth session of the legis
lature. There are and may be several
candidates for the position, but in my
opinion Anderson is the strongest man
available.
Two years ago he was elected to
the lower house with handsome ma
jority, and this year he was reelected
with a greater majority, which shows
the esteem in which he is held at home.
This fall he led the legislative ticket,
running far ahead of the other candi-
dates. In the last legislature he was
minority leader, and the record he
made as such is worthy of recognition.
1T was Anderson who led the fight
lions two years ago in the house, and
although of the minority, did must to
assist in the reduced appropriations.
He was an active supporter of dry leg
islation, and did his full share to en-
act our present prohibitory laws. lie
served with credit to himself and the
state as chairman of the Idaho irriga-
ton and drainage code commission, and
has made a special study Of legislation
affecting the irrigation and drainage
problems of the state.
Anderson is an attorney at law,
and one Of the two lawyers elected to
the house on the Democratic ticket.
His parliamentary experience two years
ago qualities him for the position OF
speaker, and he ought to be chosen to
preside over the deliberations of the
house for the next so days"

James B. Newport, representative-ele
from Canyon county gave out state
ment, in which, on behalf of the dele

dorsed Anderson.
The speak ership contest is beginning
to become interesting with three avail
able men in the race, or Representa-
tives c. S. Moody, p. EaOve.- Alfred
and Ernest Anderson. In fact, the or
ganization of both branches of the
legislature are taking an interesting
turn. There have been a number of
applications made for the positions of
attaches, and practically all members
elect are in possession of some names
that have been presented to them to
be urged upon the Democratic eau

SIGNS TO
. APPEAR ON STAGE

New York, Dec. 30.-Apparently Les
Darcy has signed away all rights to
himself. Reading the United Press in
terview with Georges Carpenter, In
which the latter declared 1t would re-
quire four months for him to get in
condition, the Australian champion got
busy this afternoon. According to a
statement made By Freeman Bernstein,
a well-known theatrical producer, the
pugilist has signed a contract with
him for IL weeks. which will net him
$4,000. At the end of that time Bern
stein said. the right of renewal for 25
weeks is contained in the contract.
It was impossible to locate Darcy
when the tale shot down on Manhat-
tan from the heights of the hotel AS
tor, where Bernstein is keeping him
self. Tex Richard, however, was al
most overcome.
CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
Il don't believe Darcy has done any
thing of the sort" said Richard. He
came to me today and told me of this
mans scheme and told me he was
afraid of anything he might offer. He
said he would bring the contract to
me before 1t was signed-and I be-
lieve he will keep his word"
Richard said Darcy had given him
all privileges to his pugilistic efforts
and he didn't believe anything would
be signed away. He added he had
told Darcy 1t would be all right to
sign contract for theatrical engage
ments alone II space was left in be-
tween engagements for bouts
SACkEUL OF MONEY.
Bernstein knocked everything galley
west. however, by the boast that he
had put 1t all over the whole gang
and was going to make a sackful of
money"
Bernstein said Darcy was going to
fight and he was going to do little
vaudeville He didn't indicate where
either of the two will be pulled off
but said things are going to start right
soon. Al Mccoy or Jack Dillon, he
said, would be Darcy's first opponent
