received complete cooperation from

Several applications were made to
the board to tie onto the electric line
that runs east of this city. In order
to get the proper status of this line
which is either government owned
or under lease a committee eoIn-
posed of Drumm, Swingle and Har-
mon was named. 1t is the general
belief that aside from those on this
electric line that 1t may be extended
to furnish service TO others who have
made application to the board.
A resolution was passed asking the
secretary of the interior to suspend
orders on lands where water rights
have not been adjudicated. This is
done that service may be rendered
and II there is any reduction in
charges that the same may be ap-
piled to the benefit of the land hold
ers.
The board also recommended that
in the case of Vet Smart that water
be furnished during the season while
his water rights are being adjusted.
A committee was named to investi-
gate any waste of water and they
will act in cooperation with the wat

INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT PRESIDENTS
(By Edward Nelson Dinglev)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 21.-
President Buchanan was the only
chief magistrate of the Republic who,
having served one term in the Presi-
dency, was not a candidate for re-
election.
The elder Adams was defeated for
reelection by Jefferson; the younger
Adams was defeated for reelection
by Jackson; Van Buren, was defeated
for reelection by Clevelnd; the youn-
ger Harrison was defeated for re-
election by Cleveland; Taft was de-
feated for reelection by Wilson;
while Hayes, Polk and Pierce were
candidates for reelection but were
rejected by the party.
Five Vice Presidents succeeded to
the Presidency by the death of the
President and all were candidates
for election to another term. Tyler
and johnson sought the Democratic
nomination and failed. Fillmore
failed in the struggle for the Wing
nomination, and Arthur was defeated
by blaine.
Washington, Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant,
Harrison, Cleveland and Wilson were
twice elected President.
Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland and
Harrison were each defeated for the
Presidency, although twice nomi-
mated.
Five Presidents died in office-the
elder Harrison in 1871, Taylor in
1850, Lincoln in 1865, Garfield in 1881
and Harding in 1928.
Six Vice Presidents have died in
Clinton in 1912, Gerry in 1914,
King in 1858, Henry Wilson in 1875,
Hendricks in 1885 and Hobart in
1899.
No President pro tenn of the Sen
ate has ever reached the Presidency.
johnson as Vice President had sue
ceeded Lincoln and Wade, of Ohio,
was President Pro tenn of the Senate.
In 1868, ten months before the eXpi-
ration of Johnson's term, he was i'm
peached and acquitted. Who was
President? This situation eliminated
in the passage of the Presidential
succession law of January IS, 1886.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
The Davis and LaFollette Camps
Have Both Been Doomed.

Washington, Sept. "A bombshell
has been thrown into both the Davis
and LaFollette camps by the publica
ton of an affidavit made by George
Remus, who is serving a term in the
Atlanta penitentiary and who was
one of the chief witnesses for the
prosecution in the Wheeler investiga-
ton of former Attorney General
Daugherty. Remus charges in his
affidavit that Senator Wheeler, vice
presidential candidate on the LaFol-
lette ticket, and Senator Brookhart
bribed him to aid them in framing"
Attorney General Daugherty, pronis-
ing him his liberty from prison, to
be secured by their political influence,
if he would come to Washington and
testify falsely against Daugherty
and Jesse Smith, who was a sort of
unofficial private secretary to Daugh-
erty; that under the influence of an
impelIing desire for liberty he, Re
mus, finally yielded to the temptation
and did so falsely testify that he had
made large payments to the said
Jesse Smith; that as a matter Of fact
he never made any payments to the
said Smith and did not even know
him, and that to the best Of his be-
lief and knowledge the entire story
was manufactured out Of the whole
cloth by CASTOR B. Means, a discharg-
ed detective Of the Department Of
Justice, employed by Wheeler and
Brookhart to get up their case
against Dauehcrty. Means was and
is himself under Indictment in New
York State, and his trial was post
poned at the instance Of Wheeler.
Remus, who is a man of more than
ordinary intelligence and who made
a fortune in the Illicit sale Of liquor
and was known as the bootleg king, -
swears that Harry Stern, a lawyer
representing Wheeler and Brookhart,
came to him and told him they want
ed 60 get Daugherty" and would
procure his freedom if he would
swear as he did, but that they have
failed to live up to this "gentleman's
agreement wherefore, having aban-
doned hope Of procuring freedom un-
til he has completed his term, he
wishes to nullify the effects Of his
false and perjured testimony.
"Organized labor is the chief sup
port of-in the big cities; and his
utterances are as criminal as they
are wildly silly All the ugly forces
that seethe beneath the social crust
are behind him. The appeal for him
is frankly on class and sectional ha-
tired. 1t is as vicious a campaign as
I have ever seen. And the worst of it
is that the very people whom one
would wish to help are those who are
going most wrong, and are putting
themselves in such a position that
they must be resolutely opposed, The
odore Roosevelt" This was written
by Mr.. Roosevelt to his sister during

the campaign Of 1886 He
was writing Of william J. Bryan. But
his pords are almost prophetic, Were
he writing Of Robert H. LaFollette
during the presen. campaign his
words could NOT be more accurate.
And those who best knew Col. Roose-
welt are convinced that were he here
today to express his opinion Of the
LaFollette Wheeler campaign, it
would be IN precisely the same terms.
Careful estimates of the situation
in the Senate and the House made
recently show in what unspeakable
chaos the government would be Dlung-
ed should LaFollette receive a suffi-
cient number Of votes to throw the
election in the House. The House
would be hopelessIy deadlocked. All
concede that, But an analysis Of the
Senate shows that II would also. With
its choice confined to Dawes and Bry-
an, the chances are that neither can
didate could win because the body
would be evenly divided Who, then,
would be President after March 4?
Senator Walsh Of Montana, regarded
at least in his own party as an excel
lent constitutional lawyer, maintains
that Coolidge would hold over until
his successor was elected. Senator
Borah, on the other hand, maintains
that would be impossible as III. Cool

caliy at the end Of his term. 1Ir. 30
rah believes Mr.. Hughes, as Secretary
Of State. next in succession and con
frmed for his present high Office for
no definite period, would become Pres
dent. On still another hand there are
a number Of able Senators who con
tend that Postmaster General Harry
New would become President. They
point out that Congress-, sometime
ago, in order to protect the mail SER
vice. enacted a law specifically pro-
viding that the Postmaster General
should hold Office until his successor
qualified. They contend that the terms
IF all other cabinet officers expire
with that of the President, and as the
Cline Of succession consists OF the
members OF the cabinet, beginning
with the Secretary Of State and run
ming down to the last cabinet office
created, and as the Postmaster Gen
eral would be the only cabinet officer
in Office, he must naturally succeed
to the presidency. All Of which shows
the chaos into which the country
would be plunged by any considerable
third party vote.
