For a time it looked as if certain party leaders, in their eagerness to get back to the good old days, were going to try to get back all the way to 1920. r .i .You may recall what happened in that year. Wood, Lowden, and Johnson came to the contention with their pockets, full of delegates and proceeded to kill one another off. Then, just as Harry Daucrherty had predicted, the boys who. run things met in a hotel ike their cigars, was as. full demanded and put over Warren G. Harding, who had not even-been able to win a solid delegation from his own state in the pre-convention balloting. . V- i,The fruits of Mr. Harding's elevation to the White House are'stiU a matter, of painful memory. V There were disquieting signs of late that the same sort of thing would happen again in 1936. Political bosses were doing their utmost to avoid open contests for delegates at the polls. t They were urging the development of "favorite son' candidacies wherever possible. The idea apparently was to bring together as large a , group as possible of delegates whose commitment to this, that or the other candidate reflected no solid, publicly expressed ex-pressed wish of the voters back home. lf that could be done, the electorate could be presented with a candidate about whom it had had no chance to speak its mind. Along comes Senator Borah, at this point, to knock this scheme endwise. The senator seems to have the old-fashioned idea that a pre-cohvention fight for delegates ought to be a real fight, with everybody in there leveling ; and if he has anything to say about it, that is the kind of fight there will be. All this isone of the most healthful developments in recent American politics. -The coming campaign may well hinge largely on the question of old-fashioned democracy versus centralized executive? execu-tive? power in the federal government. It would be odd in-deed in-deed if the candidate who took the side of democracy in this arguement should himself be a person chosen by the highly undemocratic method of the smoke-filled room. . ';He won't be, if Senator Borah can help it. If the Republican Repub-lican candidate can be a man whose candidacy has been approved ap-proved before the convention by the party's rank and file, we shall have taken a long step toward sounder, saner politics.

Provo Author Writes Novel "Smoky Waters," by Ray-- Ray-- mond A. Berry, Macrae-Smith company, Philadelphia; pp 287 price $2. Raymond A. Berry, of this city has had another novel brought out by Macrae-Smith dealing with the irrigation problem which troubles so many communities in the west. This story follows the same lines as those followed in his previous book "Dusty Rivers" but Berry's invention and imagination imagina-tion bring to the new story new characters, a new setting and an unusual cnain of circumstances This is a field in which Mr. Berry is at home. He has ranched in Montana and has lived, at least for certain periods in many of the towns of Utah where water is life. The locale of the yarn is Upper and Lower Washoe valley, sections sec-tions of territory in the mountains which might be almost any town tn tJtah or any of the surrounding-mountain surrounding-mountain states. The plot is built around the attempt on the part of a crooked politician, a senator, to filch water from the unsuspecting unsus-pecting ranchers of Upper Washoe valley to give to a new real estate addition in Lower Washoe valley. Kirk Carmichael, a rancher of the Upper valley, sees through the senator's scheme and sets out to defeat him. Carmichael is abetted and aided by a few other ranchers in his neighborhood. Matters Mat-ters are somewhat complicated by the fact that Kirk is in love with the senator's niece who returns his affection, but cannot see through the schemes of her uncle. Guns blaze on the shoulders of Mt. Jericho as the water battle continues. con-tinues. While there is plenty of action in the story, the author has taken time to depict character and to draw the scenes against which the action takes place. It will prove of interest to those who like their love, mingled with intrigue and gun-smoke. The story shows growth on the part of the author, but it also reveals a softening of the conversation of his western characters.

Cooke believes in giving no confidential information not even to government agencies. agen-cies. From the national emergency council he received an elaborate questionnaire requesting detailed information regarding the" financing, financ-ing, cost operation; rates, etc., of government power projects sponsored spon-sored by his bureau. Much of the data sought was of a confidential nature. The document aroused Cooke's suspicions. As one of the president's presi-dent's closest water power advisers, advis-ers, Cooke had heard nothing about such a study. Also, with the utilities waging fierce war tm New Deal power policies, Cooke could see no reason why valuable government secrets should be cir culated. So he queried Peter Grimm, assistant as-sistant to Secretary Morgenthau and vice chairman of the emergency emer-gency council. "What's the idea of this questionnaire?" ques-tionnaire?" Cooke demanded. Grimm said he really knew little about it, that the document had been prepared by a subordinate.
