FRENCH CRISIS
May AFFECT
CONFERENCE
Possibility is Recognized
That Government May
Upset Work
u. S. OPTIMISTIC
DeIepates Think Brands Resignation
Will Not Prevent Genoa Mee1ihe
u. S. to be Represented.

Washington, Jan. l2.-News of the
sudden resignation OF ArlStlde BRAND
as Premier of France and the prop
ably succession of former President
RAYMOND Poincare to that post came
as a shock to delegates to the Arms
Limitation Conference and brought
foreboding as to the reaction the event
might have on the Conference itself:
Although the leaders were careful
70 express themselves only optimls-
tically, if at all, the possibility was
recognized that the French crisis
might upset good deal of the work,
besides throwing all Europe again IN
to the turmoil from which she seem
ed about to emerge.
A militaristic French Government,
il was held in some quarters, mlgnt
show its antagonism to Great britain
hy rejecting the treaties to whlch ooth
nations are party: This feeling was
not general one, and on behalf or
the American delegation, it was stated
that no reason was apparent Tor an!
notification of the Conferences work.
NJ. Brands resignation was the re-
sult of dissatisfaction with his work
at Cannes, and followed speech IN
the Chamber of Deputies in which ne
plainly showed his resentment.
At Cannes sensation was caused
when the news reached the supreme
Council. whose meeting virtually came
to = halt to take stock of the situation.
1t was stated, however, that 1t VIII
probably not proven; the Genoa con-
ference. and it was stated that Great
Britain is still ready to stand by her
security pact with France if the new
Government is agreeable.
The United States has not yet signi-
fled her intention of being represented
at Genoa, but it is taken for granted
that she will be, and Secretary or
Commerce Hoover is regarded as the
most likely man to head the delegation.
In the Arms Conference itself there
was little progress. The Japanese and
Chinese continued their ShantunG
conversations, and there was agree,
mcnt on minor points. The Naval
Committee continued work on the
treaty, and an effort was made 10
reach an agreemcnt rs to Pacific
island Notifications.
Washington, Jan. l2.-The resIgna..
tion of Aristide BRAND as Premier OIL
France caused anxiety and apprenen-
sion today in Washington, which was
not concealed by reassuring comments
Of leaders in the Conference, American
and others.

Washington Jan. 13.-Despite the

Michigan against Henry Ford, the
automobile manufacturer, the Senate
of the United States voted that ne
was duly elevated to that body. AS a
matter of fact, some Of the Republl-
can Senators who voted against New
berry did not recall the fact that IN
cidentally and otherwise various OF OF,
ganizations which they sponsored

secure either their reelection OF, de
feat of the candidates whom they,

Senator La Toilette, of Wisconsin,
who although prancing around the
Senate as a "holier than thou"
Senator, it is we'll known that he
countenanced hundreds of thousands
of dollars furnished by German
propagandists to defeat his col
league, Senator Lenroot for reelec,,
ton. But Senator La Toilette paid
no attention to this matter in his
denunciation of the Senator from
Michigan. It is too bad that some
Senator wise to the situation in Wis

without his knowledge had been fur.

them with distinct feeling OF dis
quietude as to the possible effect both

Secretary of Commerce Hoover,
who is regarded as the logical Sc
lection by the President as the
American member of the Genoa con-
ference. is said to have definite ideas
about the economic situation in Eu-
rope and to believe that four steps
are necessary to cure Europe's econ
omic ills These steps are:
/. The balancing of budgets by
the various continental governments:
2. The reconstruction and reforma-
tion of national currencies, involving
the stoppage of the printing presses
turning out paper money;
8. The levying of increased taXs;
and
q. Recognition of the necessary
connection between the economic re-
covery of Europe generally with the
economic recovery of Germany.

FRED H. HEALEY
(FOr the Legislature)

The Republican party of this county is really fortunate in the
selection of Fred H. Healey as one of the three candidates for the
lower house of the State Legislature, for he is a man who has
made a success Of his own business affairs and who will give the
business of the State the same careful attention. He is in addi-
ton a man of culture and refinement who has travelled widely and
made a thorough study of the proper conduct of public affairs.
Mr.. Healey was born in the state of Missouri in the wear
1886 and, after finishing a course in the public schools, he re:
moved to Washington, D. c., where he spent the following Is
years earning his living while completing his education. Later
he had an opportunity of widening his range of vision and getting
another viewpoint by a trip abroad, where he served two years in
Copenhagen as the private secretary of Ambassador Egan.
In 1911 Mr.. Healey became a resident of Wyoming and To-
Gated in the Platte valley, where he became a successful ranchman
and cattleman. About two years ago he disposed of his ranching
interests and has since devoted his time to his personal business
affairs He is president of the stockgrowers Bank at Saratoga
and of the State Bank at Encampment.
Mr.. Healey is a public spirited man and one of the leaders in
the community in which he has made his home. He is always
found in the front rank when any forward movement is under
consideration and will prove an extremely valuable addition to
the Carbon County delegation in the legislature.

The Republican voters of the state chose as their nominee
tor State Auditor a capable young mar of Casper, Vincent Car
ter, who combines youth and actual working experience in state
affairs for the past three years, a combination which should prove
of great value to the state administration which will take hold the
first of the year.
Mr.. Carter is a native of the state of Pennsylvania and a
graduate of a law college in New York City, and has resided in
Wyoming continuously since finishing his studies. He practiced
his profession of law at Casper until in 1919 he was appointed
deputy to the attorney general of the state. when he took up his
residence in the state capital, Cheyenne. Since that time he has
won a reputation for hard work and faithful attention to duty.
which bespeaks for him a successful administration of the ardu-
Gus duties of state auditor.
After seeing active service with the United States Marine
Corps throughout the World War, and after returning to the
pursuits of peace, Mr.. Carter became intensely interested in the
work of the American Legion and took a prominent part in the
organization of a post at Casper. Since taking up his duties at
the state capitol he has affiliated himself with the Legion Post
there.
Mr.: Carter proved himself a campaigner and a vote getter
during the primaries and, due to the prominence already attained
by his ability, industry and integrity, will undoubtedly receive a
heavy vote in every section of the state.

Leland A. Smiley, who was the choice of his party for the
office of County Clerk at the Primary election, enjoys ole of the
widest acquaintance of any man in this part of the state, for he
is a native of Laramie and has spent practically his entire life in

he held a responsible position in a bank in that city before return
ing to Rawlins to take charge of the extensive livestock interests
of his father, Robert A. Smiley, one Of the pioneers in that bust.
ness in the state and one of the most highly respected citizens of
Rawlns and Carbon County.
His son, Leland A, who is the subject of this brief sketch, is
a worthy successor of his father and his administration of the
affairs Of the office Of County Clerk is sure to reflect credit upon
county an economical and efficient conduct Of the office, which
will have his personal attention. The intricate details of the Of
flee and the countless demands made upon it by the public call for
ability, integrity and hard work, and Mr.. Smiley is well fitted in
every way to perform the manifold service which is required of
all County Clerks.
During the past year Mr.. Smiley has acted as Deputy County
Assessor and in that capacity has had occasion to visit every part
Of the county in person and has thus had an opportunity to
famiiarize himself with conditions and to enlarge his circle Of ac
quaintance among the voters and taxpayers.
