torney of this city, when questioned as
to whether he would be a candidate
for the Republican nomination for the

the prosecution of many important
cases and has had personal charge OF
many difficult ones

has personally handled during the
last two years as assistant district
attorney is the Smuck case at Gunni-
son, in which conviction was secured
for a second offense under the pro-
hibition law. Mr.. Sherman states
that this is only the second case In the
district in which a conviction for a
second offense has ever been obtain
ed Another case of note handled
personally by Mr.. Sherman was the
procuring OF a conviction at Grand

upon the departure of Mr.. Moynihan.
Later Mr.. Sherman began practicing

THE TRAINING CAMPS

Very soon now our boys will be on

perience for them, beneficial in the ex-
treme, we believe. These great insti-
tutions properly are characterized as
being Citizens Military Training

maintained by the national citizenry.
They are designed to keep alive the

BANK RATES MAY GO DOWN

The Brookmire Economic Service
says: TN spite Of the fact that the
rediscount rates OF many OF the Fed
oral Reserve Banks are at the lowest
.evel in their history, the chances Of
future cut by some Of the larger
hanks are strong. Although the rate
at present is 3l5 per cent for the
New York. Boston and Philadelphia
hanks. and per cent for the rest. no
increase in borrowings by member
banks has resulted and the fact that
he last cut was made merely to
meet the market for commercial loans
leads us TO the conclusion that an
other cut in the near future is within
he range OF possibilities
Better business is the prospect for

pected in industrial districts then.
The prospects in the agricultural com.
munities are good The upturn in our

WOULD ABANDON STATE
CONTROL OF PHONES

The Paris Chamber OF Commerce
recently passed a resolution urging
the French government to submit to
Parliament a bill for the transfer Of
the Eovernment-owned telephone sery-
ice OF France to private companies
This resolution was adopted, says the
Electrical Review Of London, as a
result Of the many complaints &.
received from commercial and indus
trial concerns in the Paris district
with regard to the poor telephone
service"
After a full discussion OF the sub
jeCt the Paris Chamber Of Commerce
advanced two main reasons for urging
the government to abandon public
ownership OF the telephone system:
First, that the French telephone
service contrasts extremely badly
with those OF other countries, the in
feriority being due as much to the de
fectiye character OF the material and
the insufficient number of circuits as
to the general poor organizations Of
the service: Second, that the state
has failed TO take the necessary steps
to facilitate and extend the use of the
telephone, and the fact that the tele-
phone service results in an annual
charge on the French budget is proof
that the state is not qualified to carry
on the service on commercial basis" "

which will be Joined, probably Satur-
day, by Representative Nelson of Wis

number of other problems are to be
considered. Arrangements are being
made, meanwhile, by campaign head
quarters in Chicago to broadcast
