"pin-points- eator Smoot - ExOver Huge presses Fear Public Debt Reed SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 19 (UP) Former U. S. Senator Reed Smoot, making his first political speech since his defeat in 1932, and an address by a member of the Montana delegation urging the nomination of Senator William E. Borah for president were unscheduled features at the conference of intermountain Republican leaders, in session here today. The introduction of the name of a specific candidate for president by Wellington D. Rankin, Helena, Montana, former attorney general of that state and Republican nominee for governor m 1928, in his Borah for President plea came as a surprise. Speakers preceding Rankin had carefully avoided mentioning names. Smoot urged protection of the constitution as a major issue and severely criticised the administration, for its tremendous expenditures and the increase in the public debt He recalled the difficul- ties encountered in reducing the debt 310,000,000,000 in ten years after the war. Criticism of the "new deal, the administration, and President Roosevelt was the dominant note. Only a few speakers attempted to present suggestions as to what the Republicans could and should do to win the next election. The most comprehensive list of for positive action suggestions that the party should take was offered by Ernest Bamberger, Republican natio: il committeeman from Utah, who called tne conference said the platform Bamberger should include: opposition to reckthe less spending, bureaucratic concentration of power in Washington and destruction of farm products; that it should declare for sound currency, with the use of both gold and silver as basic money. He concluded by urging intensive party organization work with a view to bringing about a Republican victory and a new, fair and square deal. The task of formulating a suggested program for the party was being done by the committee on resolutions. This will occupy the attention of the entire conference today the concluding day of the grass roots convention. FOOTBALL SCORES FINAL Princeton 29, Rutgers 6. Yale 7. Navy 6 Army 13, Harvard 0.

The warden stated Saturday that deer especially will draw the hunters of the Cache section out of hiding when the season opens Sunday, but that the fields will see plenty of shot-gu- n artists after the feathered game at the opening of duck season. Present indications point to approximately twice the number deer hunters this year than last, Peterson said. In 1934 the count at the checking station and other reports set the figure at around 2000 hunters. This number will be increased to somewhere between 3000 and 4000 hunters this year, he reported. As an indication to the growing interest in the annual deer shoot, Peterson reported the sale of 2300 s and rifles at a Salt Lake City business house during the past two weeks, with the sale of rifles the sale of shot outnumbering guns by about 3 to 1. The deer season will be open from November 20 to November 30, both dates inclusive, while the open season on ducks is from October 21 to November 19, both dates inclusive. Directors of the Cache County Fish and Game Protective association held a special meeting Friday at the chamber of commerce to discuss methods of correcting lawbreaking anmng the sportsmen in line with the policy of the state fish and game association. According to present plans, checking stations will be placed at various places in the county, with special deputies on hand to arrest violators. Game Warden Peterson announced that the checking station in Logan canyon would be placed at the Forks. The association announced that a reward of $15 would be given for any Information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone illegally killing a doe, shooting deer on restricted territory, or shooting pheasants out of season. Many sportsmen are of the opinion that the ducks have been somewhat protected by setting the open season on the same dates as and allowing the deer season shooting from 7 a. m. to 4 p. m The sport, however, remains as interesting and drawing as ever and the usual large croud of hunters will be in the fields after the bag limit of 10 ducks per day that Sportsmen are reminded guns should be plugged and the government stamp must be purchased and attached to the license Hy-ru- shot-gun- Christensen Is Nominated Again 0.
