any noise about it is doing extremely
efficient work with the expenditure OF
less money than any previous admin

The state cannot afford to have a
deputy game warden or every creek

covey of quail But the men who are
deputized for this work are chosen
because of their ability to cover the
territory and their keen sportsman
like interest in their work.
Some violation may continue but
those who violate the game laws Of
Idaho are beginning to learn that there
is a quiet power that will soon run
them to earth. Although a smaller

is meeting with most excellent results.

the city council at special meeting

diced and could not see the situation
in its true light from the standpoint

Last season was Coach Mathews
first at the University OF Idaho. and

the effects of Mathews coaching and

ton to the criminal work Carter specialized
in inheritance tax cases, as well as municipal
bonds.
Last May the deputy attorney general an
nounced his candidacy for the office of state
auditor, on the Republican ticket, one of the
elective state offices. In the August primary
he received a majority of 2 ZOO over his oppo-
nent. In the general election of last Novem-
Der Carter received a majority of 5000, in
spite of the fact that a Democratic United
States senator and governor were elected
tribute not only to the popularity of the can
didate, but also an indication that the voters
of the State of Wyoming had confidence in
the man and were pleased with the work
which he had done for three years in the
office of of the attorney general.
For the next four years Vincent Carter will
be auditor of Wyoming. This position re-
quires that he shall aud the accounts of the
numerous state departments, the University
of Wyoming and the penal and charitable in
situations. Carter is we'll qualified for the
position and has surrounded himself with
capable assistants who can be depended upon

taxpayers. And the voters of the state who
chose Vincent Carter as auditor may rest as
sured that their trust has been placed in a
man whose training, experience and intelli-
gence will at all times serve them in good
stead.
Vincent Carter was born at Pottsville, Pa.
slightly more than thirty years ago and at
tended the schools at that place until he grad

sity at Washington, D. c., where he special
lied in science. When he decided to study
law, he entered Fordham College in New
York City and from that institution he was
graduated with the degree of bachelor Of
laws in 1916. During his school and college
careers he was active in athletics, as well as
in his scholastic pursuits. He pitched for
Fordham College baseball team, played end
on the football team and forward on the bas-
ketball team.
Miss Helen Carlson, daughter of a pioneer
