ASM'CRAY VETOES
RESIGNATION PLAN
Personal Misfortune Is No
Reason Governor
Asserts.

A graceful way out of the political
mess. stirred up by the call for a
meeting of the Republican State com
mittee next Saturday to consider
whether Governor McCray should be
asked to resign, followed by the Gov
ernor's unqualified statement that he
will not resign, was being sought by
politicians today.
1t was pointed out that the State
committee has no more authority in
the matter than any other group of
citizens.
1t is expected, if the affair comes to
the point where the committee de-
cides to ask McCray to quit, the re-
quest will be made on the ground of
party expediency.
Committee Disregarded, Say
McCray's friends say he never was
strong for party expediency.
They point to the fact that he has
chosen his advisors and his appointees
with little regard for the wishes of
the State committee which is sup
pediency within the ranks OF the G.
o. p.
McCray is taking the stand that
his misfortunes are strictly private
misfortunes and have no bearing on
the States business or his status as
Governor.
If personal misfortune is not a
reason to resign, then there is no
other reason" the Governor said.
Watson, New to Return
He appealed to his friends to stand
by him.
Activity at Republican headquar-
tiers is expected to be resumed Tues
day with the return to tha city of
Clyde NJ. Walb, chairman. who left
Immediately after calling the com
mittee to discuss McCray's affairs.
Senator James f. Watson and
Postmaster General Harry s. New
are expected to return to Indianapo-
lis later in the week to attend the
meeting.

The Edison Electric Company Inc,
115-117 East Ohio St, today an
nounced that they had secured the
services Of Harry o. Oden-vacuum
cleaner specialist-to take charge of
the servicing of the Eureka Vacuum
Cleaners sold during the last ten years
in Indianapolis and Marion County.
The Edison Electric Company Inc is
the local authorized distributors for
this cleaner.
Mr.. Oden. for many years in the
electrical appliance business, has for
the past eight years made a speciality
Of the vacuum cleaner and has made
ternal and mechanical construction
and operation. His work will be to
specialize in servicing the Eurekas
sold by the Edison Electrical Com
pany, Inc, keeping them up to the
mark of perfect and efficient opera
ton as guaranteed by the Eureka
Vacuum Cleaner Company.
1t IS an interesting fact and a great
credit to the manufacturers Of the
Eureka Vacuum Cleaner that one
man is quite sufficient to make what
few repairs and establishments are
needed, considering the many thou
sands in use in this city. This will
be-. seen more clearly when it is
known that one In about every four
vacuum cleaners sold in the world is
an Eureka-and there are seventy
other makes being manufactured.
Mr.. Oden is 33 years old and has
spent 15 years of that time in the
electrical business-seven of which
were spent in Indianapolis. His en-
gagement by the Edison Electric
Company is but another example of
their effort to make their service de-
partlnent on cleaners, as in their
other departments, the best that can
be secured, manned by the best talent
procurable.
Similar servicing departments are
already organized for rendering to
the housewives Of indianapolis prompt

A PROCLAMATION BY THE
GOVERNOR OF IDAHO

By an act of the Legislature of the
State of Idaho, the first Monday OF
September is designated as Labor
Day. N
There is a true dignity connected
with labor and it is fitting that all
people Of the state recognize the great
value of the laboring people, since
they are actual producers of much
of the wealth of the state.
It seems highly fitting that day
|.be set apart for paying respect to
the nobility Of labor and to the nee
essity of toll in the production OF
life's goods and all those additional
fuller. Character is developed by
overcoming resistance and by labor
toward some high goal. The high
character of the laboring people Of
the state of Idaho has been recog-
nized for many years and it is highly
proper that a day should be given
over to social intercourse and to the
exchange Of ideas among these ster-
ling citizens of the state.
j. NOW, THEREFORE,, in conformity
to law and in keeping with the spirit
of democracy, JsC. G. Moore, Cover
nor of Idaho, hereby proclaim Mon
day, September 8, 1928,
LABOR DAY
and most earnestly recommend that
on this day all business, as far as
possible, be suspended, the national
emblem be displayed and that meet
ings be held throughout the state,
giving honor and respect to the men
and women who contribute so much
to the richness and blessings of tho
state. NHg
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State of Idaho, this twen-
,y-seventh day of August, nineteen
hundred and twenty-three.

AUTO ACCIDENT

Word has been received here that
Mrs. H. B. Price of Blackfoot was
the victim of an auto accident when
the car turned over on the Malad
divide Monday afternoon. Mrs. Price
was enroute to Salt Lake at the time
and was accompanied by her son who
received a number of bad bruises, and
a neice, Miss Florence Spencer, who
was severely cut by glass. The ac-
cident occurred when Mrs. Price tried
to give another car, Ford, more
room to pass her. The car was 50
close to the edge that the loose gravel
caused it to turn over the embank-
ment. Evidently the occupants Of the
Ford did not stop, for the injured
parties were found later by couple
of McCammon men, and brought to
Downey for medical aid. Mrs. Price
received a deep cut on the forehead
and probably internal injuries. Mr..
Price, accompanied by Walker Davis

ting along nicely. The Price family
moved to Blackfoot recently from Salt

POTATO ORGANIZATION

The organization of the Idaho Po-
tato exchange, an association Of pota-
to growers of the southern and east
ern part Of the state to. affiliate with
the Colorado potato growers who
have perfected their organization, IS
about completed.
The plan as outlined by the Colo
RADIO producers will be carried out IN
Idaho with any changes that the Ida
no growers may see fit to make.
In discussing the situation, w. j.
Hill of Fort Collins, Colorado, gen.
eral manager for the Colorado ex-
change, stated that the organization
is thoroughly democratic in that the
members of he organization handle
their own business through the votes
of members Of different locals and
through the general committee made
of the representatives of the locals
and nothing is done without the
knowledge and consent Of the grow
ers.
G. J. Carlson, president Of the Ida
no organization, states that no con-
LIdCI VI duy hluu lOl tlC oeAiS VI ehAS
potatoes has been made, nor will such
contract be made until the growers
themselves approve and sanction
some plan which they definitely de-
eide upon. When the organization
has been perfected the members Of
the organization will use their own
Judgment as to the matter Of the sales
contract.
The members of he organization
committee, including Mr.. Hill, the
Colorado man, are very certain that
a sufficient number Of growers will
approve of the contract and will be-
come members Of the organization,
and in that way assist in helping the
plan to market their potatoes.
The best authorities in the United
States make the claim that intelli-
gent cooperation and the selling OF
farm products through that method
is the solution Of the farm problem
Mr. Hill states that the Colorado
exchange advertised the fact that they |
had 10000 carloads of potatoes to ne
sold and advertised for bids. Three |
Of the most representative potato SELL
ing firms were represented at the
opening of bids held at Pueblo August
first, and the best contract was ac-
,epted. Mr.. Hill states that the con-
,ract is for but one year and that by
next season the Colorado growers will
lave their own sales agency. Mr..
Hill states that the Colorado growers
lave 10000 cars contracted for or 65
,er cent of the seasons crop and
more contracts are being signed daily.
