Manager sIocum ExpInin,.

Manager John p. Slocum. of the Auditor
ium, was indignant when he learned that
his refusal to allow Mr.. Goodwin to appear
at the Elks' benefit had been made the
subject of a public reflection on him by
Mr.. Dunno. master of ceremonies, in the
latter's speech to the audience at the
Grand yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Slocum
said last night:
II told the Elks' committee that l would
consent to have Mr.. Goodwin and his whole
company appear in whole play or any
part of play if the benefit We're given at
my theater. but that as a matter of buSi-
ness ! could not afford to allow a promi-
nent star like Mr.. Goodwin to play at an
other house while he was under contract
to me. l readily consented to the use of
my orchestra, my stage hands or any of
my scenery, no matter where the benefit
was given. and the seventeen musicians of
my orchestra played for the benefit. When
Mr.. Goodwin gave his consent to appear at
the benefit he thought it was to be given
at the theater where he was booked"
In verifcation of the last statement, Mr..
Slocum presented the following letter from
Mr.. Goodwin:

pear at same. as you We're Iuliy entitled to
do under the terms of my contract with
you.

by the benefit committee. both by

It is not always that voters have an
opportunity to cast their ballots for
the best men IN their county, especially
is this true with respect to the legisla-
ture, But the Republican party of
this county, with an eye single to the
welfare Of the people, have this year
placed upon their ticket for the nigh
and honorable Office of State Senator a
man who commands the confidence
and respect of every citizen in the
county-a man Of unblemished char
acter, exceptional ability and sound in
tegrity. Samuel s. Foote, of Middle
ton, is pre-eminently the man to repre-.
sent Canyon county in the upper
branch of the Idaho legislature. file
knows the wants OF the people and win
work indefatigably to secure them. He
knows the dangers which beset the
people and win safeguard the peoples
interests. A sensible, honest, manly
man is Mr.. Foote and every good citi-
zen should vote him.

This has no reference to the Bryan
experiment which the "Boy Orator"
himself admits is liable to produce
panic and desolation. We want to tell
the good people of this country some
thing about MIR. Ozro c. Van Houten
who has charge of the Government
Experimental Station at Nampa. The
gentleman is perhaps one of the best
posted of the agriculturalists and horti-
culturistS in the state. Besides, he is
substantial, intelligent and honorable
citizen Indeed, just the man to help
represent this county in the next legis-
lature. A grent many Of you may not
know Mr.. Vau Houten personally, but
you must get acquainted with him.
You want to know such men. They
are the bone and sinew and enterprise
of the community. They are the sort
of men that build up, enlighten and
perpetuate. The Republican party,
recognizing Mr.. Van Houten's excel.
lencies, promptly put him on their
ticket for representative and they are
going to elect him if possible, because
they think it win be best for the people
of this county to do so. we think that
everybody ought to vote for Van, and
if we do not misjudge the temper and
intelligence Of our citizens. most of
them will do so:
