"Let Your Conscience BE Your Guide"
During the Democratic convention
Mr.. Davis spent most of his time at
the New York house Of his friend and
law partner. Frank l. Polk, on Sixty
eighth street. There a number of his
West Virginia friends came to see
him. among them Judge John Holt,
who had been selected to place his
name in nomination.
We'll, John," said Mr.. Davis, "this
is fine job they have wished on
you
Yes" said Judge Holt, II came up
to see If you had any suggestions as
to what l ought to say"
Let your conscience be your guide,
John" said Mr.. Davis with a laugh,
''let your conscience be your guide" 4"
and that was all the advice Judge
Holt ever got on the subject
Asked about his hobbies, Mr. Davis
was puzzled for a moment. He ad-
mtted he is fond of golf and fishing
and reading. The truth is" he said,
Il have not had a very great deal of
time for play in my life. / have had
lot of fun, but ! have been reason
ably busy. and 1 have simply failed
to accumulate any hobbies"
While at Dark Harbor, last July,
Mr.. Davis played golf nearly every
afternoon with Frank Polk. Some
times, ]. M. (BilD Nye. his special
campaign secretary. made a third
Bill could never be induced to reveal
the score. The one thing | won't
give away" said Bill "is a mans
golf score, but he always managed
to leave the impression that he could
trim both the others. One day Mr.
Davis beat Mr.. Polk SO badly he
could not refrain from telling about
it. Il put Frank Polk down good
and proper yesterday afternoon" he
said. Turning to Bill Nye. he looked
him straight in the eye and said. and
| can do the same with you"-and
Bill admitted it.

Elections by Minoritiex.

What it means. if it grows as it has
been growing. is that our elections will
not be determined by a majority of the
qualified voters. or even by a majority
of majority, but actually by ma
jority of minority. That. of course. is
an absurd situation, which is in conflict
with our whole theory of government.
Yet it does exist in a number of States
now, and came very close to being the
fact in the presidential election four
years ago.

Investigates Own Boom.
When word of what they were do
ing got into the papers Mr. Davis
wrote out to ask what ii was all
about. He got no reply, and. finally,
after he had seen some more news
paper notices. he got on the train
and went out
What are you fellows trying to do
to me. anyhow?" he asked
Go away and let us alone. We
know what we are doing" he was
told.
Well" he said. Il can't stop you,
but | am not going to be a candidate.
You know that don't you?"
Go on back to New York, John.
and let us alone" was the answer
and John laughed and went back
From first to last he never lifted
his hand TO promote his chances for
the nomination. Those who were
closest to him during the convention
know that to be a literal truth He
did not once alter his attitude. He
was nominaed because there was
back of Glenn Shaver and the Tome
Town Club q Very real and very
strong sentiment for him among the
delegates. which became Irresistible
the moment the Smith McAdoo can
didacies collapsed. "Character counts -
was the terse comment made by a
newspa per man in the press section
when, on that final ballot. the nomi-
nation of Davis became certain, and
that comes as close to a real explana-
tIon of his selection as any that can
be given.
Non-Voting Dangerous.
Speaking of politics. Mr.. Davis sees
in the undenab:e shrinkage in the vote
another extremely dangerous tendency
of the time.
Interest in politics." he said lis
neither inherent nor instructive Every
body ought to take an interest in poll
tics. Every man and woman. ought to
be active and informed about politics
Everybody ought to vote. This would be
n better country, We would have better
men in public office and better govern
ment If such were the case, but it is
not. The average man and woman is
too much concerned about his or her
own private interests to give much time
to the public interests. They do not
want to be called on to vote every year.
and they do not want to have to go to
too much trouble to get their political
information. They want to vote set
of officials in to run things and have
them run without being called upon too
often to do it all over again.
In my judgment il is the frequency
Of elections and the length of the ballot
that, more than any others. are the rea!
reasons that account for what seems to
be growing tendency upon the part OF
the people not to vote. / recognize the
danger to our institutions in this tend
ency. If it continues unchecked it will
render absurd our theory of majority
rule.

MEAD CONFERS WITH
ROSS ON RECLAMATION

Irrigation projects on reclamation
lands in Wyoming may undergo a
change, it was intimated following
a conference between Governor Will
liam B. Ross and DR.. Elwood Mead,
reclamation service director. who
was in Cheyenne last week. DR..
Mead was formerly state engineer
of Wyoming and is thoroughly con-
versant with the irrigation difficult
ties as well as advantages in the
state.
Several problems are said to con-
front the reclamation department in
irrigation in Wyoming and Mead has
evolved a solution which he dis
cussed with the governor. The ma
ture of the problems and the solu-
lions were not made public, but it
was declared that many Wyoming
ties are vitality concerned and that
an equitable and serviceable means
will be worked out.

CLOTHES OF VALLEY
WASHED BY One FIRM

John F. Cook of Cody, H. F.
Hartwell of Powell and C. A. Wad-
leigh of Lowell have formed a COM
pany to handle the laundry business
of the Shoshone valley. the three
gentlemen having been in confer
ence for several days and completed
the arrangements Saturday.
Due to the drainage situation at
Powell it has become necessary to
discontinue the laundry at that
place and the work will be done at
the Lowell plant. Mr.. Hartwell will
continue to operate a Powell office
and handle the work for that sec
ton as well as assist in the manage
ment of the new plant.
The laundry business has seen a
marked increase under the work of
the development of the industry
thru the leadership of John F.
Cook. From a rundown outfit of a
few machines the Cody plant has
been brought up to a high state of
efficiency and the employment of
several times the number of work
ers.

FRANK MICHIN BADLY
INJURED BY BLAST

Frank Michin, of Thermopolis, a
powder man in the employ of the
Kimball Construction company was
severely injured last week when he
exploded a heavy powder charge
while tamping it in. The man was
cut and bruised from head to foot,
particularly about the face and
hands. and it seems only a miracle
that he was not instantly killed.
Mr.. Michin has been engaged in
the powder work necessary in the
securing of the huge granite blocks
for use in the base of the Cody
memorial, and had placed in a
charge and was tamping it, it is
said, with a piece of metal when
the explosion occurred. He was
brought to Cody and is under the
care of a local physician.

where they had spent the winter
at various cities. They report a
great deal of business activity in the

choice of the people for president.
Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder will spend the
season on their ranch on the South
fork near Valley.
Mrs. Ella d. Watkins has dis
posed of her residence property at
Long Beach and returned to Cody
Thursday to look after her business
interests here. She will likely make
this her home as she is not so en-
thusiastic about southern California
as the imaginative writers of ad-
vertising fiction of that section. She
thinks the country has reached the
saturation point and unless one has
ample means it is no place to go.
She will be Joined later by Ralph

manner in which he presented the
case to the jury. On Tuesday night
of last week he took his examina-
ton for admission to the bar which
has been delayed for almost a year
by the state board.
