st. Anthony Statesman Who Will
Enter the Race for National
Committeeman.

Bert H. Miller, of ST. Anthony, we'll
known in political circles, having been
the Democratic candidate at one time
for congressman, is looked upon in
Democratic political circles here as a
candidate for national committeeman
subject to the will of the Pocatello
convention May Is. In that part of the
state in which he lives he is consid-
cred the most available timber Of the
party for the position and when the
formal announcement is made that he
will become an active candidate, the
southeast WILL it is said in Democratic
circles here, deliver its delegates to
him.
The linking Of the name Of Mr..
Miller with the national committee
lmanship and the authorized statement
of Governor Alexander that he stands
| where he always stood as unequivo-
cally for the direct primary in order
that the people may be afforded an
opportunity to give expression to their
preference in political matters, were
two interesting developments in Dem
ocratic politics.
II gave out statement recently in
which / repeated my well known stand
for the direct primary and the policy
of letting the people rule" said Gov
| ernor Alexander. II do not think it is
necessary to repeat that stand for
the same principle now and will con-
tinue to do so.''
Means Contesting Delegation.
Chairman Hindman Of the Demo
cratic committee for this county, has
not as vet issued a call of the com
mittee and continues to refuse to rec
ognize the action taken by a majority
of that committee in directing him to
call party primary to elect delegates
to the state convention. As Dem5-
Gratis view his attitude he might Just
as well have served notice on them
that if he can prevent II there will be
no primary in Ada county at which
Democrats can show their preference
for delegates to the state convention.
The county chairman has informed
Democrats here that he will have
enough proxies to control the county
committee meeting. This is taken to
mean o eontesting delegation will be
sent to Pocatello.
Hindman National Delegate.
It is the ambition OF Chairman.
Hindman to attend the Democratic
national convention at st. Louis in
June and IT was openly charged by
Democrats that for the delivery of Ada
county's delegation to the state con-
vention for Elder his reward will be a
place on the delegation If the Elder
faction is in control of the conventions
affairs.
The prospective entrance Of Mr..
Miller into the race for national COM
mitteeman indicates it Is to be free
for all, and that the southeastern Ida

sible effort to elect someone besides

GEORGE l.. SHELDON
RETURNS FROM IDAHO

Geo. L.. Sheldon, the local mining
expert. who has been spending some
time in Washington county, Idaho
examining a copper property in the
interest of eastern capitalists. re-
turned On Wednesday last. He
states that owing to the great amount
of snow in the hills he found Ii nee
essary to leave before completing his
work, and will return as soon as con
ditions will permit.
Mr.. Sheldon speaks very we'll of
Idaho as an enjoyable place to re-
side. He was much impressed with
the town of Boise, with it's abundance
of water, green trees and the like. as
well a S an excellent climate. He
says that the entire state looks good,
notwithstanding the rigid enforce
ment of the antiliquor law which re
Gently went into effect. He states
that in Roise they are going so far
as to insist upon a rigid enforcement
of the old blue laws, and that on
the town has the appearance
of a morgue. Many are of the opin-
ion that this is the correct method of
getting on the statute books a Law
based on reason and m sense.
When asked for a general compar-
ison beween Idaho and Nevada, Mr..
Sheldon said "Oh. we'll, that is diff
ferent. The eyes of the world are
conferred on White Pine county just
now, and its great mining industry
puts 1t in a class by itself. We have
the brightest future in the world"
