HAWLEY MAY
RAGE
FOR SENATOR
Conservatives Among Demo
Gratis Groom Former Cover
nor to Run Against Borah
Ex-Service Man Bourbons'
Next Choice: Progressives
Want Samuels for Governor

James H. Hawley, former governor,
and for many years leader OF the
more conservative group Of the Dem
ocratic party in Idaho, may be that
party's choice to oppose Senator Viii
liam e. Borah in the fall elections,
it developed over the weekend, fol
lowing conferences of Bourbon lead
ers in all parts of the state, says the
Boise Statesman.
While Democratic spokesman are
loath to discuss candidates generally,
they are firm in their statements that
Borah must go. Hawley is the logical
man to beat Idaho's senior senator,
some Democrats say, wh1le others
feel that because of the former gov
ernor's 20 odd years he may not be
able to make as vigorous campaign
as would a younger man.
Should the former governor not
make the race then it is likely, in the
opinion of some Democrats, that a
former service man will be drafted
as a candidate. Borahs disagreement
with former soldiers leads Bourbons
to believe some man in their ranks,
who saw service in the World war,
could command the vote Of veterans
and ride into the senate.
SAMUELS FOR GOVERNOR
Progressives, however, are not so
certain that they win put a man in
the race against BOrah. In fact, some
prominent in the party will go so far
rs to say they will not oppose Borah,
but neither will they indorse him.
The third party spokesman in south
IDAHO are sure of one thing and only
one thing-H. f. Samuels will again

spectacular showing in the guberna-
torial race two years ago, when he
finished second to the Republican,
Governor Moore, and nOsed Moses
Alexander, Democratic candidate and
former chief executive of the state,
)ut of second place, has made him

in Idaho.

CORONER HOLDS INQUEST ON
DEATH OF ALFRED NJ. POWELL
FIND NO EVIDENCE TO INDICATE
FOUL PLAY OF DOVER CITIZEN
Powell Fell Down Stairs Last Week
and Broke HIS Neck And The
Jury's Verdict Was "Accidental''

4, Coroner Jester, on being notified |
Tuesday of the sudden death of AL
fred NJ. Powell, of Dover, who fell |
down stairs and broke his neck, made |
a quick trip to Dover and very
promptly started an investigation. A
jury summoned was composed of Her
man C. Taylor, DR.. R. S. Stephens, P.
B. Shuttle, Willard Jester, Noah
Walls, Harry Viehman, and Edwin l.
Lane. DR.. r. S. Stephens was chosen
foreman and H. C. Taylor, secretary.
While there were no eye witnesses to
the death of Powell three witnesses
were heard who were with him late
Monday afternoon. They included
James Reed, w. S. Jones and a Mr..
Roe. Admissions were made by some
of the witnesses that Powell and they
had had a friendly drink during the
afternoon but no one was drunk. Dr.
Harbordt, who made an examination
of the body, found that there was a
fracture of the neck and also a deep
hole in the back of the head appar-
emily caused by his striking his head
against some sharp instrument while
falling down the steps. That there
was no foul play was fully evidenced
by the finding of S162.72 in money
both on his person and a drawer in
a sideboard of the front room. In
surance policies were found intact.
The only thing apparently missing
from the hasty search of his effects
was will he was known to have
made some months back, witnessed by
two well known Dover citizens. A
further search may disclose this docu-
ment. The Jury after all the evidence
they could get, returned a verdict
that Alfred NJ. Powell came to hi.
death from broken neck by falline
down stairs. Since PowelPs residence
:. in Dover he has lived on South Gov
/ ernor's avenue, and owned two houses
