SMOOT FACING HARD BATTLE IN
UTAH TO RETAIN SEAT IN SENATE

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct.
13. U.P)-Reed Smoot, dean of the
United States senate and veteran
of 20 years experience in the up
per house, is fighting the hardest
battle of his career for political
survival against a vigorous college
professor who never has held
public office.
On the basis of prediction
"straws'-newspaper polls, editor
ial comment and confidential ad-
missions of Republican leaders
Smoot today appears to be run
ming far behind his Democratic
opponent, DR.. Elbert Thomas.
This situation in Utah is strik-
ingly unusual Smoot, a devout
Mormon and an indefatigable
worker for his state, has been gen.
orally conceded a life job in the
senate. His reelection for a sixth
consecutive term was thought GER
tain until the campaign uncovered
distinct change in the temper
of the electorate.
The Republican senator appears
Singularly unconcerned over un-
favorable reports filtering in from
all sections of the state. He is
waging a vigorous but not sensa-
tional campaign.
Personalities have not crept into
the senatorial battle to date. The
austere Smoot is basing his cam
paign on the Smoot-Hawley tariff
bill. He staunchly defends the
measure which bears his name
and asserts that ruin would be the
fate of Utah farmers if copper,
wool, cattle, sugar and other tariff
barriers were lowered.
Presses Silver Issue
DR.. Thomas is concentrating his
campaign on the silver issue.
Throughout Utah he has hammer
ed relentleSsly at Shoots asserted
failure to support actively the
movement for rehabilitation and
reconciliation of silver. Mining
is Utah's principal industry and
there has been considerable dis
satisfaction expressed over
Smoot's alleged apathy on this
score.
Publicly, at least, the Mormon
church, OF which Smoot is one of
the ranking leaders, has not an
nounced its support of the senator.
Moreover, it is significant that the

EXTINCTION OF
PRAIRIE CHICKEN
HALTED BY LAW

ONEILL, Neb, Oct. 13.-U.R)-
The prairie chicken, once one of
the most abundant and finest game
birds of the western prairies, is re-
turning.
Hunters Of this section have been
educated not to shoot the white
and black speckled birds and the
protection has resulted in a rapid
increase.
Early ranchers found the wild
prairie chicken almost a pest they
were so thick Eastern markets
opened and began to demand the
choice game bird. pot" hunters
found a gold mine in slaughtering
the chickens and shipping them
eastward.
The prairie chicken hunting pas
time became a business. 'Freezers"
a building like a small grain ele-
vator, dotted the sandhills coun-
try Hunters shot the birds and
sold them to the freezer" mana
gers at 25 cents each. The chick
ems were dressed, packed in ice,
and held until a large quantity
was obtained for shipment east
ward.
One of the most common meth
DDS of slaughtering the birds was
to have two men, riding horseback,
drag a wire. A third man, armed
with shotgun and heavy shot,
walked between the horsemen,
killing the birds as they were
flushed out of the brush.

that the election of the Hoovers,
the Roosvelts and the lesser fry
dooms the rest of us to continued
misery and want. For themselves,
they know that they can continue

A party that refuses to fight this
