Nominee Ineligible,

S. c. Moody of Standpoint, one of
the legislative nominees on the
Democratic ticket, is ineligible to
the office and a vote cast for Mr..
Moody is a vote thrown away.
Article III, sec 6, of the Idaho
state constitution reads as follows:
mo person shall be a Senator
or Representative who, at the time
of his election, is not a citizen of
the United States, and an elector
OF this state, nor any one who has
not been for one year next proceed
ing his election, an eleetor of the
county or district whence he may
be chosen"
S, G. Moody became a resident of
this county for the first time in
March, 1902, and is therefore ineli-
gible. and could not take his seat if
elected.
Last week, Mr., Moody rendered
his resignation, and a Mr.. Dark
nell was slated for the place, but
the Democratic committee ran up
against the Supreme court decision
which holds that all certificates of
nomination must be filed % days
before election. The Democrats
are therefore shy one eligible candi-
date for the Legislature. Moody's
name will, however, appear upon
the ballot, as the same law requires
designations to be filed in the
same way, and Mr.. Moody would
have to commit suicide to have
his name taken off, death being the
only remedy.
Instead of throwing their vote
away Democrats should vote for
their favorite on the Republican
ticket

Judge Hepburn Speaks,

Judge W B Hepburn spoke to a
large audience here last Monday
evening. The speaker sustained
his high reputation as a forceful
speaker. The weakness of the
position of the Democratic party on
the trust question was handled
mercilessly. The speaker was
particularly severe on the present
state administration and stated
that the scandals in the state
institutions were nothing as COM
pared with the manner in which
our timber resources had been
plundered, and gave facts and
figures to prove his assertions.
We regret lack of space to review
his able address.

movement looking to the selection of

the Pythian Festival, when the matter
was talked over by and between T. F,
Scheen and the Brigade Commander.
The result of this conference was a
very cordial invitation, from the
knights Loyal, knights and citizens of
Princeton to hold the field day in their
midst. This invitation was promptly
accepted by the Brigade Commander,
on behalf of the Battalion, and an
nouncement is here made that the
''First Battalion (First Regiment)
Field Day and Pythian Reunion'' will
be held at Princeton on Thursday,
June 5th, 1902. The business men of
that thriving town have joined hands
with the Knights to make this decid-
eddy gala day. Capital Co. 10, St.
Paul, has been invited, and has &C
cepted the invitation to unite with the
local Battalion in this demonstration.
This will mean that the four Compan-

the K. P. band, and many of the
Brigade officers, and officers of the
First and Second Regiment, will be in
attendance.
Neighboring su coordinate lodges will
be invited; special train will be run
from the cities; the press will extend
the necessary advertising; Princeton

gest things of its kind that has been
seen in this section for long time.
The evening at Princeton will be de-
voted to receptions, a social session
and grand union meeting of Pythian
hosts. The announcement thus early
made will give ample time for all
necessary preparation, and the -Ad-
