In approaching the ministerial asso-

should assist in arranging meetings
whereby business and office men might
get acquainted with this new element

GEOGRAPHY MAY
SETTLE CONTEST
IN SPEAKERSH|P
IF President Pro Tenn Of the
Senate Is Southern Man
Speaker Likely to Be
From North.

The speakership contest in the DEM
ocratic majority Of the house of repre-
sentatives Of the next legislature, may
be settled along geographical lines.
Members Of the house who are in the
city say they are not committed to any
one and they do not believe that other
members are pledging themselves. They
say the speakership matter is one that
should be settled by the house members
alone without interference from mem
bers Of the senate.
Tho senatorial situation and that of
the house, however, seem to indicate
that there may be several combinations
attempted. In Senator Perry W.
Mitchell, the north has q candidate for
president pro tenn of the senate. In
Senator George E. Hill the southeast
has candidate for president pro tenn
Of the senate. 1t was said by one SEN
ator today THAI II the president pro tenn
goes to the southeast the speakership
will go to the north, or II the president
pro tenn goes to the north the speak
ership will go to the southeast. C. 8.
Moody Is the northern Idaho candidate
for speaker of the house. B. Harvey
Alfred is the southeastern candidate
for speaker. In Representative Ander-
son the southwest has a candidate for
speaker Possible combinations be-
tween both ends OF the state may re-
suit in the speakership and president
pro tenn being settled. Candidates in
the race for president pro tenn and
speaker declare they are not involved
in combinations Of this kind.
GOVERNOR is NEUTRAL.

story appeared in the Statesman He
declares the governor has refused to
become involved in the speakershir
controversy and stands on neutral
ground He adds he is supporting An

sympathy with Carey act problems.
Representative Moody made It as
plain that he has never been, is not
now and will not be nor has he asserted
at any time that he is the governors
candidate for speaker. Il am in hearty
accord and in full sympathy with Gov

Senator George e. Hill of jefferson
county, the Democrat who defeated
John w. Hart, of Menan, for many
years state senator from jefferson and
old Fremont county, is a candidate for
president pro tenn of the next senate.
Senator elect Hill is in Boise having
arrived last night. When interviewed
he stated he was a candidate for the
position of leader of the majority in the
upper house
You can announce that I am in the
race for president pro tenn of the next
senate and that l believe am entitled
to the position said Senator Hill. Il
arrived here several days before the
converting of the senate for the purpose
OF meeting Members ELECT to the upper
house and to further my Candidacy"
PROMINENT DEMOCRAT.
Senator Hill Is one of the prominent
Democrats OF the southeastern part Of
the state. Before coming to Idaho he
studied and practiced law in the office
of James H. Moyle and John NJ. Zane,
two of the leading lawyers of Salt Lake
anu Utah. He was with the firm five
years. He acted as private secretary to
one of Gtah's congressman at Wash
lngton and gained valuable legislative
experience there. Later, or Is years
ago, he came to Idaho and became in
terested in politics. He was made
chairman of the Democratic party for
Fremont county in 1910, before that
county was divided into four counties.
Under his leadership that year the
Democratic party won the election
breaking a continuous Republican rule
for eight years. He was elected a men,
Der of the house of representatives at
the same election and served through
the session extraordinary which fol-
lowed year later under the Hawiey
administration. Senator Hill served on
the judiciary, revenue and taxation,
public health and rules committees. On
returning to Rigby, his home city, he
was elected chairman of the board Of
trustees and later when Rigby was in
corporated as a city was elected mayor
! by unanimous vote, and during his a5-
sence.
SECRETARY STATE COMMITTEES.
In 1913 Senator Hill was elected Sec
rotary of the Democratic state central
| committee. Ben r. Gray of Haley was
chairman of the committee. The state
was carried for President Wilson. He
served as the referee when the famous
| investigation was made of the st. An
| thony Industrial Training school under
appointment from Governor Hawley
At the present time he is a member OF
the minimum wage commission Great
ed by the last legislature and appointed
by Governor Alexander. He is manager
of the Rigby Hardware, Lumber q
Manufacturing company of Rigby, one
of the largest mercantile institutions in
that part of the state.
From the standpoint of party service
and the fact that he defeated one of
the strongest Republican party leaders
in the southeast, the hackers of Sem
ator Hill in the southeast claim he IL
entitled to the position of president pro
tenn of the coming senate. Many of
the southeastern Idaho county senators
favor his candidacy.
