The case will be continued today. big trees for a background, as one taken under these circumstances. Stafford told of being engaged as Logan's chauffeur for five or six months during the Spring and Summer of 1913. at which time, he said, Logan's headquarters were In San Francisco and Oakland. He said he had no other employment while working for Logan, except that he "boosted this O. & C. stuff," 1O0 Locations S'jld. Stafford estimated that,' during the time he waa with Logan, more than 100 "locations" were sold at $150 each. "Logan did business mainly with well-to-do people, didn't her' asked J. C. Dennis, of Tacoma, Logan's attorney, on cross-examination. "They all had $150." answered Staf ford. , "Was there a difference in Logan when you were alone together, com pared to when you were In the pres ence of prospective applicants?" asked District Attorney Reames. The thing was a Joke to me, and to him, too," said Stafford. "He used to laugh about It when we were alone." He said that Logan was serious and j businesslike when there were "pros pects" around. "What would Logan say to you when you were approaching a town In the automobile?" asked Mr. Reames. "We'll Dynamite It" Is Reply. "He would say, 'We'll dynamite this place,' " said Stafford. "Did you know what he meant by dynamite'?- asked Mr. Ream e a "I object to the form of the ques tion," interposed Attorney Dennis. "You knew that he didn't really mean that you were going to blow up the town," persisted Mr. Reames, and Staf ford said that be did. Stafford said that Logan claimed to be representing different concerns at different times, among them the "Ore gon Realty Company" and the "Oregon Timber & Land Company." "Did you ever come right out and ask Logan as to the merits of the proposition?" asked Mr. Reames. Logan "Kind of Laughed." "I asked him once," said Stafford, "and he kind of laughed and said, 'They may have a ofeance in ten years or so.' " Stafford Identified the following ad vertisement, which was read to the Jury, as one having been used by Logan in Sau Francisco newspapers to attract 'prospects": - GOVERNMENT LANDS Homestead relin quishments. 160 acres choice land, rich loam soli: 80 acres level, balance slightly rolling: two natural springs: good stream running through place: 0 acre cleared for cultivation: 40 acres pasture, fenced: green grass year around: some good green timber; three-room house, two additional rooms almost finished: plenty of furniture and cooking utensils: chicken-bouse, smokehouse, barn 24x3o; six tons hay; two work horses, wagon, farm Implements; loo chickens, mostly laying hens; two fresh cows; three hogs; two-seated hack: good road to station; two and a half miles to country school; large garden full of vegetables, some fruit trees, etc; healthy climate; owner will relinquish his right and sacrifice for S120O; terms. S00O cash down, balance to suit. Box 3004, Ex aminer. Advertisement Pronounced Fake. Stafford said that Logan, so far as he knew, had no such land for Bale as that described in the advertisement, which was used as a means of getting in touch with prospects. He said that Logan's method of pre senting the scheme varied with the character of the prospect, but that Logan always wonld begin by asking a person if be had used his timber land right, v " "Would he tell them about the Gov ernment's suit to recover the land?" asked Distrlot Attorney Reames. "Not unless they knew something about It already." said Stafford. He said, Logan told "prospects" that "It was absolutely a sure thing, or we couldn't sell is)" Cross-examined,.

While the Republicans have still to hold their convention, the nomina tion of Senator Smoot to succeed him self is conceded. He has no opposition. Mormon Gentile Agreement Kept. r, Vnrmnn nilAHtion.

Unlike most wool growers he does not believe the wool Industry needs protection. In fact, he startled the convention of the National Woolgrowers' Association last winter by expressing his opposition to a tariff on wool. He came out flat-footed for free trade. Smoot Wauls Doty on Wool. Senator Smoot Is weir known as a protectionist. It is predicted that he will favor a revision of the present tariff law so that it will replace the duty on wool. His friends declare his campaign will be conducted on strictly party lines on the theory that the re . ... . a y a riATTinr.rats and Progres sives have been promising can best be brought aDout tnrouKn mo ciiui;i.. party. The Progressives are determined to defeat Senator Smoot, regardless of the free trade proclivities of his opponent in... ,.r tn him as a "stand-patter," and accuse him of opposing many Pro gressive rerorms. So far as the Democrats are con cerned they are eager to defeat Sen ator Smoot principally for the sake of replacing a Republican Senator with a member of their own party. Then, too, they fear some of the Democratic Sen ators whose terms are about to ex pire will not be re-elected, and that states like Utah which have Republi can Senators up for re-election must defeat the incumbents to maintain the present Democratic majority in the Senate. Smoot Supporters Confident. The Smoot supporters are confident. They depend, first, on the solid support of the Republican voters. To this they add a substantial defection from the Bull Moose ranks. This defection 'has been apparent in the various local elec tions held since the contest of 1912. In that year the Taft electors re ceived 42.100 votes in Utah. The Wil son vote was S6.579, and that of Roose velt 24,174, giving the Democrats and Progressives combined 60,703 votes a majority of more than IS.000 over the Republicans. This majority, the Re publican leaders point out. would be overcome by a defection of only a lit tle more than 9000 Progressives to the Republican ranks. They believe the return to the old party, has been In even heavier degree than this. On the other hand, the Democrats aver that in 1912 the Mormon vote was . cniiHiv for Taft. Since the Mormon question is not to be a factor in this campaign tney aeciaro iul lot of Taft voters this year will sup port Mr. Moyle. However, If there is any disposition on the part of the Mormons to line up w.ki.j aif h a, nnA nf thA two candidates and there is some suggestion that there will be it is Deuevea. mat mis support will go to Smoot, SOUTHERN ELKS PROTEST "WHITE s?OPlTLATIO', REQCTRE. 1IEXT MAKES TROUBLE.
