Leaders Praise Work
OF Addison T. Smith

Senator William E. Borah of Ida
no and Senator Reed Smoot of Utah
are two of the outstanding figures
in the national legislative body.
Both have craftsmanship of high
quality and both have by long ex-
perience in the senate had OppOr-
tunity to observe the work and
worth of other members of con,
gress in both the senate and house.
Referring to the effective work done
for Idaho by Congressman Addison
T. Smith, Senator Borah says:
"Mr. Smith is one of the most eff
ficient, hard working and vigilant
members of congress. l think it
can be truly said that there is no
member of the delegation who has
more minute knowledge of our great
state and her varied resources than
Mr.. Smith, and certainly there is no
one more tireless in looking after the
interests of the people of the state.
1t would be difficult for Idaho to
find more efficient, courteous and
obliging public servant than Addison
T. Smith. We like him."
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah pays
tribute to Mr.. Smith in the following
letter written to the Idaho congress-
man:
i want to congratulate the good
people of Idaho upon your splendid
work in congress and commend your
activities in behalf of all questions

Idaho Grimm Growers
Awarded Big Verdict

A jury in the federal court at Po-
catello last week rendered verdict
in the sum of $34,692 in favor of
the Idaho Grimm Alfalfa Seed Grow
ers association in their suit against
D. w. Standrod, X. L. Scott and the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Fran
cisco. The suit was to recover the
amount of drafts deposited to the
credit of the plaintiffs in the Stand
rod bank of Blackfoot and on which
payment was refused because of the
insolvent condition of that institu-
ton. The association commended
that the Federal Reserve Bank was
aware of the insolvent condition of
the Standrod bank at the time the
drafts were accepted as security by
the Federal Reserve Bank on loans
to the Blackfoot institution, which
later was taken over by the state de-
partment of finance, which appoint
ed Mr.. Scott to take charge of the in
3titution.

THE PROBATE COURT
OF BINGHAM COUNTY

Since Judge J. E. Good has held
the office of probate judge of the
county of Bingham, the business of
the probate court has increased so
that the office has become self-sup-
porting. This is due in a large
measure to the fact that Judge Good
is an attorney and has devoted all of
his time to the performance of his
official duties. During the past two
years the fees and fines collected by
Judge Good, and turned over to the
county treasurer, amounted to
$6,078.72, while during the two
years of his immediate predecessor
in office, the total amount of fees
and fines collected was only $2,815.-
"a, which shows an increase in favor
of Judge Goods administration of
$3,262.78.
The business of the probate court
requires judge who is versed in the
law in order to protect the interests
OF the public, and the property of the
widows and orphans against the un-
scrupulous conduct Of persons who
seek to defraud for their own inter-
est.

Official Files Disprove
Charges of Candidate

Claims made by H. F. Samuels,
Progressive candidate for governor,
in his campaign, that the state OF
Idaho had Disseminated against him
in failing to purchase coal from the
Teton mine, which he has been pro-
noting, were blasted Monday, when
r. G. Archibald, state purchasing
agent, produced original kilograms
and letters, as we'll as certified
copy of his records, at big meeting
held by the candidate at Rexburg,
which refuted all his charges.
Not only did Mr.. Archibald show
that the bids had been held open
thirty days, in order to give Samuels
a chance to bid, but he also gave the
Progressive leader an opportunity
to contract at the moment for 5000
tons of coal which the state has not
yet purchased, and Samuels failed
to take the opportunity.
Declaring that Samuels had re-
fused to comply with the usual re-
Quirements to furnish a certified
check or bond with bid, and that
the manager of the mine had writ
ten, saying the company mot having
facilities for shipping coal" might
later be in a position to do so, the
state officer was backed up by other
citizens present at the meeting, who
said they had repeatedly made an eff
fort to purchase the product of the
Teton mine without success.
1t was a dramatic climax to the
long period Of charges made byl
Samuels, and the Progressive NOM
inee for governor, in explaining his
position, said he would repeal the
law which required certified checks |
or bonds on supply bids, if he were
elected governor.
1t was not until Samuels had
opened his meeting to questions that
Archibald brought forth his records.
Among other things Samuels stated
to his audience that the state had
refused to buy coal from him and
bought 1t from Utah, whereupon the
agent produced an orig
nal letter from the coal company,
stating that by reason of uncertain
les attending operations, I'VE are
n no position to offer any bids at
his time"

Like millions Of American boy

tdent of the United States, received
the rudiments of his education In

Election of Coolidge
Considered Certainty

All indications point to the cleo.
ton of Coolidge in the national cleo
ton, Tuesday, November 4.
This prediction is based on careful
calculations made after complete
survey of each section of the country
and each state, as viewed by political
writer's and experts.
A completion of the survey in the
light of the latest information in the
west and middlewest shows the stu
alton to stand as follows:
Electoral votes for Coolidge, 282;
for Davis, 1879; for LaFollette, 10;
in doubt 81.
The 282 votes may be counted as
a probable minimum for Coolidge.
If he receives no more than that
number he will win by majority Of
33 in the electoral college.
The chances are that his total will
go above 300 and it need not be sur
prising If the vote reaches the high
mark of $50 to $50.
The developments of the last
week have shown that Davis cannot
win.
The possibility that LaFollette
may get enough votes to deadlock
the election and project it into con-
gress still fingers in the reckoning.
1t is conceivable that this will hap
PEN So far as the prospect can be
judged from surface indications, it
Is not going to happen, but the
superficial aspect of the situation
may be misleading.
