JOHN HALL John HALEY during
his long career in Idaho and in congress
has made record that is hard to over
come, and it will take long uphill pull
for better man than Dubois to beat
him. Uncle John is well known and
liked throughout all Idaho, and many
republicans will support him because as
our delegate in congress he has watched
the interests ofthe people and while he
has been an earnest advocate of democra-
tic principles wherever and whenever it
became necessary to defend them, yet in
all of his official acts of whatever char
acter, he has been honest, upright and
faithful and has discharged his duties
with the strictest impartiality. He de-
serves the good name he has so Justly
won. He has of course been subjected
to criticism and misrepresentation
but so has every honest man who has
held public office and has tried to do
his duty. HI is a creditable represen-
tative of Idaho territory, and notwith-
standing the dire prophecies heaped
upon him he will continue to represent
us in congress. He is not like many
politicians, " he, when elected to Office,
become so phffed up with importance
and spend SD much time in admiring
their own ability and intellectually
that they have no time to attend to the
business of their constituents. HALEY
is always Oh deck. He works twelve
hours day and earns his salary. He
is none of your gold-washed counterfeit.
but sound 1S-carat gentleman. The
people are not going to throw him over
board because Kaintuck Smith and
few other "yaller.dog" democrats failed
to get an Office.

We further charge that under the
"open venre" which prevails in the
third judicial district, Dubois prostitu-
ted his official position to defeat the ends
of justice. Under that damnable system
lie selected his own jurymen for grand
and petit jurors, and as he himself
avowed last October, had "a jury that
would indict and convict Jesus Christ if
he choose to arraign him." He used
these packed juries to secure the con-
vlction of the unfortunate mormons, and
which constitute his chief claims to be
the defender of virtuous homes" To
strengthen his power he caused Bingham
county to be organized and was to have
dictated the officers of that county to the
governor, in whose hands the appoint
ments were vested, but Bum did not
fully acede. On the strength of the
quarrel thus originated the virtuous
Dubois is now posing as an opponent OF
the Boise city ring.

An unfortunate fee system has been
the occasion of frauds in the mormon
counties of Idaho nnequaled in the
United States since the palmy days of
the whisky ring, Dubois gathered the
harvest of this iniquitous system, and
the spoils of the marshal's Office attrac-
ted Il dangerous following who have
prostituted the republican party by
making a corrupt man its standard
bearer. 1t is claimed that Dubois came
to Idaho before he secured his com
mission. What was his occupation
He followed brother who was a gov
ernment employe on the Fort Hall re-
servation, and was a hanger-on around
the agency: He was as seedy as a
Kansas farmer after a grasshopper raid,
and charges of drunkenness and dis
honesty were preferred against him in
Washington. He was never engaged in
any honorable business before he
became marshal.

Dubois invested in three saloons. one
at Blackfoot, one at Shoshohe and one
at Era. preparatory to an active can
vass for votes. These are places where
that sort Of influence is expected to ad.
vance his interests most. When the
temperance element prevails he will
resort to other means of reaching the
hearts of the dear people. BY preach
ing license TO the licentious, virtue to
the virtuous, honesty to the upright
and division to the covetons he will
muster numerous following.

NUN [BER XIX.
Can lpaign Notes.

If HALEY keeps on gaining as he has
pegun, he will have more of a majority
than Dubois has votes.
Although lie hasn't found il vet.
candidate Dubois is still diligently hunt
ing for hole to crawl into.
1t will be easier for the scriptural
back action ca mel and needle act to be
performed than for Dubois to get to
congress.
The Idaho World says that the editor
ofthe FREE Pr Ess is "a highly-varnished
smooth and gilt-edged liar of the first
magnitude"
The republican ticket of Alturas
county has been assessed $l,515 for
campaign purposes. Dubois barrel
must be getting low.
1t is claimed for Dubois that he is the
most beautiful male biped in all Idaho.
tie will make an exceedingly attractive
corpse when the democrats lay him out
on election day.
The day has gone by when you could
whlte-wash ypur own party by black
washing the other. The Dubois poiti-
clans are overlooking this Important bit
of political philosophy.
The only thing needed to make the
Dubois campaign an overwhelming
success is hand organ Dubois him
self performs the monkey act in bril-
liant and edifying degree.
The anti-mprmon scheme of the
republicans Is a lively boomerang, but
what IL is going to hit is very uncertain.
Republicans had better throw straight
clubs and not fool with boomerangs.
AS a general rule the republican ora
tors in this campaign cannot be said to
play upon harp of thousand strings.
They are so lpud-lunged, shrill-voiced,
grating and tiresome as to be properly
entitled elocutionary calliopes. Their
chief mission in life is to scold honest
John HALEY, and in this branch of ora
tory their shrdw tongues excel.
The republican orators and organs are
going for John HALEY red-hot all along
the line. Uncle John may not be an
angel. but like Joe Bagstock, he is "too
tough" to be deferred from doing his
duty by the wounds inflicted by the
sings and arrows of those who do not
like his straight forward course. He has
the fierce blaze poured upon his high
station. Uncle HALEY is thorough
bred and the people know it.
BY INSCRIPTIONS promises of Office
and the tempting use of the commodity
known as soap" the republican candi-
date for congress has endeavored to COR
rupt the voters of Idaho. Mr.. Dubois
was nominated with the full UNDER
standing that his canvass was to be.
founded upon. money. His pocket
book is the chief factor in the campaign,
Ii the position of delegate to congress
is for sale then HALEY is defeated in
advance. but if the fight is to be made
apon party lines, if the issues Of the day
are to have weight. if personality and
Ideas are to be the moving forces, then
John HALEY will be factor in the con-
test until the polls are closed, when
Dubois and bis lavish bids for political
honor will be downed by an outraged
people.

Dubois fellow plunderers are crying
out for "pure homes and morality"
Mr.. HALEY has pure home" and a
model family where filial affection and
parental love rule supreme. We read
of him attending receptions while in
Washington, with his lovely daughter
on his arm. Could we find a better
man to defend our families from immoral
influence than this honored father who
has grown gray in the good fight and
reared sons and daughters to manhood
and womanhood, all of whom are res
pected members of society? What is
Dubois social standing? His home is
the bar-roon. When on his official
rounds no daughter or sister accompan-
les him. We learn of him being drunk
in bagnios. Will the example of a
drunkard and libertne purify our
homes?

Dubois patronizel Chnamen to the
exclusion of white farmers in the pur-

cabbage rations until he could buy from
Chinese and not aid or abet the Chinese
boycott.

the existence down at the farm of
Mr.. Julius Quintal, ST., four miles

shape of a calf that was born a few
hours before, and was alive and
seemed to be doing well. The calf
has three eyes, three horns, two
mouths and five noses. The head is
white, and the rest Of the body is
we'll formed and seems to be all
right. Mr.. Schaetzel offered Mr..
Quintal 800 for the animal but it
was refused.
