BUYERS OF LAND
OPPOSE RECALL OF
SALE CERTIFICATES
Land Board Hears Further
Affidavits That Smoot
Conducted Sales in South
east Fairly.

The state land board again discussed
the southeastern Idaho state land sales
over which there has been so much con
troversy at it's session today. The mat
ter came up when further affidavits
were presented testifying that the sales
were fairly conducted. Judging from
these affidavits, the buyers of lands are
going to vigorously protest any action
of the board Withholding the issuance
or sale certificates for the lands they
purchased. +. w. Browning, of Rex
burg, one of the buyers, made this
plain in his written statement to the
board. Thomas Elliott attorney for
Martin earn another protestant and
successful bidder, also voiced his pro-
test against such contemplated action.
During the discussion, Governor
Alexander took occasion to severely
criticize the maner in which a morning
publication has repeatedly attacked him
for political reasons. He inferred that
| the attacks on the land sale contro-
versy was in reality directed al him and
not the land commissioner
Browning said that he had attended
the Teton county sale and that he
considered it has been fairly conduct
ed and that the charges regarding the
manner in which lands were sold in
that all bidders were not given an
opportunity TO bid, was without good
grounds. He asserted that he had bid
in the land fairly and he would fight
any attempt to hold up his sale GER
tificate. The letter of Mr.. Elliott was
in substance similar to that of Brown
