been attempting to force an honest in
vestigation of the case for weeks pre-
viOus without success. and that the
unwholesome tale was not sprung as
an immediate anti-convention roorback
TO defeat the nomination of Governor
Hunt. but solely in the interests of de-
cency and morality.
And later on. when Mr. Martin forced
most unwilling board to investigate
the charges against Warden Arney for
misrepresentation of state property, he
was openly charged with doing so for
political purposes and to encompass
the defeat of Governor Hunt. That was
the argument of the Hunt forces, head
ed by the Boise Capital News. He
was called a traitor to his party and
was reviled by the new Democracy of
Dubois Hunt, Capital News, ct al,
specially cOnsecrated apostles thereof.
But the revelations of the investigation
were such that Mr.. Arney was re-
quested to resign and they proved that

APPORTlONMENT INFAMY.

Not the least offense of the present
state administration was the robber
apportionment for legislative purposes.
The purpose was so open and in such
defiance of every consideration of hon
esty and decency that the great polit-
ical steal has made a profund i'm
preston on the minds of the people
of the state and hundreds of voters will
cast their ballots against the Demo-
cratic ticket because of the infamy
who might not otherwise have brok-
en- away from their party mornings.
The majority of people are honest:
they try to do right themselves. and
they expect others to do likewise:
they expect others to refrain from
stealing from them. Consequently a
steal of this kind shocks the public
conscience.
Those responsible for the infamous
job were so hardened that they could
not realize that they were setting a
deadfall for their party. They saw an
opportunity to steal and thought if
they embraced 1t their action would be
regarded as scarf. The reverse has
been true. The people regard that theft

transcontinental railroads preparatory
to the handling of the enlarged trade
of the Orient in which the west must
be one of the chief beneficiaries in the
possession as the Pacific islands.
The Democratic party has become
suddenly anti-expansiOn. and on this
point is squarely opposed to the whole
of its early history. during which per-
iod those magnificent additions were
made to our public domain. In short.
I may say that Democracy today sus-
tains the same relation to the public
vehicle that the brake does to the pri-
vate one. and in either case it becomes
intOlerable when continuously applied.
But, Mr.. Chairman, I will say no
more against Democracy, which you
still support. and within whose COM
pass, I doubt not, you see as I once
saw, all that is good in politics. In
cnOclusion, permit me to say feel in du
ty bound to give my support to the Re-
publican party. the only one of the
present that has the courage Of its
convictions, that looks to the interest
of the west as we'll as the east, and
has the capacity TO administer sue
cessfully the affairs of government.
With sentiments of high personal re-
gard and esteem, remain, very truly
yours, 2. BALLANTYNE.

Warden Arney is fired. The Gov
ernor Hunt administration has dis
owned him after he couldn't be covered
up any longer. Brother Harry will now
have to look elsewhere than to the
state for free harness. free tools. free

that Governor Hunt made that motion
to whitewash him Of all wrong intent.
but fired him on general. principles for
getting caught and stirring up a row
at an inopportune time. The governor
didn't dare risk standing too close 10

I am disappointed. and am obliged to
advise you that I am no longer a Dem

I see no good reason for the cOntin-
ued existence of the party. 1t stands
hesitating and uncertain between the
two extremes of sentiment which are
fast dividing the American people In
my view it is only a matter of a very
short time when it must change or
cease to exist. 1t stands for nothing at
issue today which is for the benefit of
the west. It's cardinal principle has
been the maintenance of the constitu-
ton. but it is without the courage of
its convictions to maintain the cOnsti-
tutional principles when face to face
with adverse public opinion. and has
failed repeatedly when brought to the
test.

it showed a deplorabe division and in

Republican party is opposed to any

FREMONT COUNTY

z. BaIlantyne Leaves the Democracy,
Joining the Republicans.

The drift throughout the southeast
ern part of the state from the Demo-
cratic and Populist parties into the
Republican ranks has been so great
as to cause much public comment
The change in political affiliation has
probably been larger in Fremont than
in any other county. though almost
the same conditions are found in all
the counties.
Many people are growing tired of
working with the party of obstruction
and wish to align themselves with the
party of progress. which is ready to
act, and act intelligently. on all pub
lie questions.
One among the many important ac-
CessiOns made to the Republican party
recently is that Of T. Rallantvne. an

of the Democratic central committee of

weakness. the vacillating course and
unpatriotic attitude of the Democratic

resentation, is, in good morals. worse
than the common horse thief. The lat
ter is expected to steal when he gets
an opportunity. People are on guard
against him, but the public does not
anticipate that political majority will
stoop to the same level. The horse
thief is not trusted: the political ma
jority is. Consequently the offense OF
the latter is greater than that of the
former.
The majority deliberately decreased
the representation of some Republican
counties and increased that of some
Democratic counties. while other Demo-
cratic counties were left with their for
mer representation. though it was en-
tirely out of proportion. This was done
for political purposes and it was boast

an aspirant for the nomination on the
Democratic ticket for governor against
the present incumbent. At first blush
it looked like a very awkward polit-

dicated the charges to be not without
foundation and that Mr.. Martin had

ed by those who engineered the steal
that they had fixed it so the Democ-
racy could not be Ousted from control
of the legislative department of the
government. But those men will find
they were mistaken. They could not
understand the feelings of repulsion
with which their action would be re-
ceived by the people. but after election
day next month they will know what
the people think of it.
In this connection it is worth while
to remember that the scandalous meas

not his nature.-IdahO Statesman.
