MACBETHS HIGH PRAISE
FOR FRENCH AND SMITH
NO OTHER STATE is MORE ABLY
REPRESENTED IN THE
LOWER HOUSE.

Congressman Burton L. French will
soon visit Shoshone county and speak
in various places which will be dehn-
itely announced later. No speaker
during this campaign will receive a
more cordial welcome from the people
of Shoshone county than Mr. French,
and there is a reason. During his long
service in congress he has been con-
stantly on guard to protect the inter-
ests of the mining industry, and this
has been his attitude in respect to
every other industry in Idaho. He
grew to manhood in Idaho, was edu-
Gated in the state university at Mos
COW, his home, and he could not be
otherwise than loyal to the people and
every interest of this great state. But
the esteem in which he is held is not
limited to Idaho, for his ability and
faithful service in the national capital
leagues in the lower house and he now
occupies position of influence in leg
islative matters which has greatly en-
HANGED his usefulness. He is now
member of the committee on appro-
priatiOns which ranks in importance
second only to the committee on ways
and means, a position which greatly
improves his opportunity to serve the
people of Idaho. This is the estimate
placed by the home people upon Bur
ton 1. French, and it is gratifying to
have it more than verified by one who
has had a closeup view of Idahos two
in action.
