inability OF the House of Represent
atives to exercise Its Constitutional
function of choosing the President
because of the fact that no one party
controls a majority of the state dele
cations in the House.
Senator Smoot declared that every
day there Is less chance of the fail
ure to return President Coolidge to
the White House. He ridiculed La
Follette's hope OF being chosen Presi-
dent by the House of Representatives
showing hat twenty-three of the
House delegations are controlled by
Republicans, twenty by Democrats.
and five delegations evenly divided
between the Parties. The Senator
cannot see ever a remote chance OF
a majority in the House uniting on
LaFollette, but admitted the posi-
bility of Democrats and the insurg-
cant Republicans electing Bryan in
the Senate if the people fail to elect
a President themselves.
THE greatest thing that has hap
pened in the world since the sign
ing of the world peace treaty is the
putting into effect of the Dawes
plan" said Senator Smoot. Europe
could not have gone along much
further under existing chaotic condi-
tions. 1t would have broken down,
but nov the value of European
money will increase, property will
be safe once more All of this goes
to stabilize conditions throughout

that President Coolidge's strength

Oil Industry in Infancy
August 2S. 1859, a driller on Oil
Creek Pennsylvania. struck liquid
gold at a depth of 50 feet. He got
a twenty-five barrel we'll, and it was
the wonder Of the East. The entire
production Of petroleum in the
United States in 1859 was less than
two thousand barrels. There are
now a large number of wells in Cen
trail Wyoming that exceed that pro-
duction every day. 1t is come to be
u greatest cash industry. 1t has
made more men rich and kept more
men poor than any other resource
that we have. 1t is believed that it
is just in its infancy so far as Wy
oming Is concerned and that we will
go on developing oil domes and big
gushers for many years to come.
Big Growth in High Schools
Fffty-five towns and cities of Wy
oming will offer four years of high
school work during the present school
year All of these schools expect to
be a%ccedited by the State Department
of Education and by the University
OF wyoming This accrediting carries
with 1t aid from State School Funds
and recognition Of work done by the
State University. In 1920, only 10
high schools we're so recognized;
half the counties were without rec
ognized high schools. During the
same period high school enrolment
has more than doubled, growing
from approximately $500 to more
than 5000. New high schools to be
accredited for the first time this
year are Cowley, Deaver, Yoder,
Baggs, Egbert. FIT. Laramie. Glendo,

REPUBLICANS
HAVE SUPPORTED
RECLAMATION

CHEYENNE, SEPT. 16. - 1t now
seems to be the earnest endeavor of
the Democratic speakers and press
to make the people of the Nation
believe that the Republicans are at
tempting to strike reclamation from
the map. 1t is the sheerest nonsense.
The Reclamation Act and all that has
been built up Hereunder Is the child
of the Republican Party. The first
appropriation obtained through Con-
gress was carried in a rider to an ap-
preparation bill introduced by Sen
ator Warren. Under this act Captain
Hiram NJ. C~hittenden made a pre-
liminary survey and report. Follow
ing this closely, during the Roose-
welt administration the Reclamation
Act of August II, 1902. was formu-
lated and passed. Senator Warren
and Frank w. Mondell were both
members of n Committee of Seven
teen that had this Act in charge. Mr..
Mondell conducted it through the
House and Senator Warren was
Chairman of the Committee OF
Seventeen and largely responsible
for its enactment in the Senate.
When President Roosevelt signed
the bill he rendered the pen to F.
w. Mondell and 1t is now in the
archieves OF Jul State Historical De-
partment.
In his first message to Congress-,
President Coolidge referred favor
ably to reclamation work and prog
ress. He heartily recommended its
continuance. The Congress that ad-
journed June eth carried large ap-
preparations for the Reclamation
service. The deficiency appropriation
bill had items for the Casper-Alcoya
project and for the Guernsey Dam.
The deficiency bill failed to pass be-
cause of the unreasonable opposition
of Senator Pittman, Democrat of
Nevada, who is now conducting Mr..
Davis campaign in the West. From
first to last any and all opposition to
reclamation work has beer fathered
by and come from the Democratic
party.
The last session of the present
Congress, which will meet in De-
cember. will unquestionably pass the
deficiency bill delayed by the efforts |
Of Senator Pittman. and the work !
of reclamation in Wyoming will go
steadily on.
The Democrats must have some |
basis for their present campaign and

nation Service as anything else
Edison Praises Coolidge
The other day Mr.. Edison was in
terviewed by a reporter relating to
his views upon the political situation.
The interviewer was ushered to a
seat ON the right hand side of Mr..
Edison who was busy checking over
an account that lay on his desk.
Suddenly he looked up and the inter
view had begun.
What's this" he queried in his
tenor-tone voice.
I'm no politician. Coolidge? oh
yes"
So the first question was popped.
viii You state why you are go
ing TO vote for Coolidge and Dawes?"
81 shall vote for Coolidge and
Dawes because ! believe both men
, 1924-09-18

are practical, will get results, ana
throw a bomb into that enormous
expense account we have down il
Washington known as the bureau
cracy. Both men are economically
sound and are a wonderful balance
wheel for this country. Therell be
good teamwork in that team"
Did you find the people satisfied
with Coolidge on your recent trip to
Vermont with Henry Ford and
Harvey Firestone?"
Il don't remember having come in
contact with a single person who was
not in favor of Coolidge. The peo-
pie have confidence in him, for he
thinks logically inc squarely and
really is an iron man"
"Do you think the Presidents early
environment has much to do with
his grasp on the economic situation
of the country"
/ Yes, decidedly. He vas born in
an economical environment and
economy and hard sense were born
in him"
What do you think of the Dawes
plan?"
Dawes works from complex to
simplex" he answered. Most peo-
pie work the other way. His plan
is simplicity itself. 1t should put
Europe back on its feet"
ID you look for a large vote be-
ing cast this coming election"
Yes, l do. | think the people
are waking up to the fact hat getting
out and voting is one of the most i'm
portant things they could do. l per-
~sonally will take the greatest of
pleasure in voting"
Normal Training Schools
The first conference of High
School Normal Training Teachers
was held with the State Department
of Education at the University in
Laramie during the last week in
August. Eighteen of the thirty-one
schools that will offer such courses
were represented. Plans for carry
ing on the work during the coming
year were made. 1t is expected that
more than two hundred teachers will
be graduated from these courses dur
ing the coming year. This will furn-
ish a supply of trained teachers for
Wyoming rural schools. A Wyom-
ing High School Normal Training
Association was organized with Supt.
Guy V. Cutler of Lowell, president,
and Miss June Selby, of Powell, sec
rotary.
Senator Shoots Views
In commenting upon the political
situation rerently, Senator Smoot of
Utah said that "LaFollette under
took to convince the farmers that the
only way to raise the prises of their
products is by legislation. Now the
farmers find this is not true and
that the LaFollette appeal Is a false
one. But II the McNary-Haugen bill
had been passed by Congress and the
President had signed 1t and this in
| crease in grain prices had followed
nothing on earth could convince the
farmers that legislation is not all
that is needed to increase the price
of grain
Senator Smoot declared that the
| alternative to the success of Presi-
dent Coolidge's campaign Is an
electoral college deadlock which
probably would result in the cleo
ton by the Senate Of Gov. Charles
w Bryan OF Nebraska, the Demo-
! cratic vice presidential candidate.
"All there is to this election" the
Senator continued. "is the choice be-
tween Coolidge and Charles w. Bryan
and / guess l know which of these
two the American people would
rather have for President"
The election of Bryan might be
brought about. he said. in the event
of the failure of one of the Presi-
Dental candidates to receive a ma
jority of the electoral votes and the
