G. II. Martin was, like Judge Nc
Naughton, born on an Iowa farm. in
Keokuk county, August 81, 1866. He
got his early education in the little
red schoolhouse and worked his way
through grammar n d high school.
He taught school for five years, in
the meantime reading law and was
admitted to practice in May, 1892, at
Spencer, Iowa, where he practiced
until 1907, coming directly from
Spencer to Standpoint, where he has
practiced since that time. In Snencer
Judge Martin was prosecuting attor-
ney for two terms and held the rec
ord for the largest percentage of con-
victions at the lowest cost of any pros
ecutor in the state losing hut one
criminal case. Judge Martin was
appointed to h e probate judgeship
in Bonner county in April, 1920. He
made a large state acquaintance as
the progressive candidate for gov
ernor in 1912 and was defeated for
that office by narrow margin. His
candidacy is being urged both upon
his excellent record as probate Judge
of Bonner county, his uniform success
before the courts of northern Idaho
and upon t h geographical ground
that one of the judges in the district
should reside in the north END of the
district to the end that court pro-
ceedings may be facilitated thereby

NO GRAND JURY ACTION
IN HALL-MILLS CASE
Decision Received by Widow Of Slain
Rector without Trace OF
Emotion.

Somerville, n. j., Nov. 29.--"For
reasons which seem TO them sufficient
and controlling" the grand Jury took
no acton in the Hall-Mills murder
case and laid the matter over. This
does not mean necessarily that the
matter cannot be taken up again by
this or subsequent grand jury.
With these words Foreman Gibb OF
the Somerset county grand jury made
known the fact that no Indictment had
been returned.
For five days Special Deputy Attor-
ney General Mott had been presenting
evidence TO bolster his theory as to
who Killed Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall
and his choir singer Mrs. Eleanor r.
Mills on the Phillips farm the night
of September IL. Yesterday the pros
ecutor presented his star witnesses
and then settled back 10 await the
jury's decision.
Outside the jury room someone else
was waiting the decision II was Mrs.
Frances Noel Hall, the rector's widow.
-whe had .,,ishcd 20 the court house
during the morning in the hope OF ap-
pearing before the grand Jury and who
had not been granted access.
She received the decision as she
has received all other developments
in the case--stoically. with scarcely a
trace of emotion.

hands of the children OF other seals
that are being sold as purely com

not In any sense an imitation OF the
Red Cross Christmas seals and are
not being sold as such but there Is
danger that they will be purchased.
in some instances, under the impress
ion that the buyer Is aiding the great
cause which is furthered BY the
Christmas seal, g
The children who have these com.
mercal seals for sale are acting Ia
good faith and are not attempting to
misrepresent the goods. Tho proposI
ton Is strictly legitimate in every
respect so long as the seals are
bought for what they are People OF
Benn ngton who are Interested in the
Christmas sale seal---and there are
many OF them--are anxious that the
commercial seals shall not interfere
with the humanitarian project. t1
Persons who desire to purchase
Christmas seals should take special
care that they are buying the bona
fide article. When one is asked to
buy some seals from me" the pur.
chaser should see to 1t that the child
is provided with Christmas seals.
The Christmas seal sale will not 70

HARDING WILL OPEN
PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM
His Message to the Regular Session
Of Congress Expected to Be
Surprisingly Liberal.

Washington, Nov. 29--president
Hard ng's forthcoming message to the
regular session of the 9th Congress
which opens next Tuesday will be de-
voted chiefly to discussion OF the three
critical domestic problems Agricul.
tural relief; the transportation prob.
lem, and enforcement OF the prohibi.
tion laws.
Those who have discussed with Mr..
Harding the framework of his nres.
sage predict 1t will be the most pro
gressive" presentation of facts and
recommendations that Mr.. Harding
has yet delivered to the Congress-.
Regular" Republicans have no In.
tention of allowing Senator LaFol-
lette's personally conducted progress
s.ve conference which meets here In
December TO run away with the pro-
gressive thought of the country.
The organization senators known in
advance about what trend the La.
Toilette progressives will take in the
formation of legislative program and
while they do not intend To be car
ried off their feet by the blare OF the
mus C, they nevertheless do intend
that the organization program shall
carry an appeal ito the enlightened
progressive thought of the country,
rs one senator expressed IL.
Discussion of the organization pro-
gram will be begun In earnest at the
White House this week between Presi'
dent Harding and the "b'g five of the
administration senatorial forces -
Lodge of Massachusetts,, Watson OF
Indiana. Curtis of Kansas, Smoot OF
Utah, and Cummins of Iowa.
II Is expected President Harding
will make frank bid for agricultural
support for the admin STATIONS
transportation program by linking TO
gether the agricultural distress and
the railroad program.
1t has been suggested to the Presi
dent that he biuntly tell the farmers
in his message that most OF their dis
tress Is due to high freight rates ant
interrupted transportation-the neal
break down and congestion that came
during and Immediately following the
shopmen's strike.
II freight rates are to come dowr
and badly needed equipment added Il
the railroads then railroad wages
mnt come down, the President is ex
pected to say and the only way L
get railroad wages down Is to give
the railway labor board power to en-
force It's decisions In the same man
