A. B. PARKER WAS TOO MUCH
MIR. Moore Prefers the Americanism
OF Roosevelt to Wall Street Oicta-
ton and DubOisism.

A special dispatch from Grange
vile to the Lewiston Tribune saws:
Avery c. Moore, member of fIegis-
lature from Idaho county, has left
the Democratic party and has joined
the Republicans. This announcement
was made the 9th by MIR. Moore to
a large number of citizens and when
seen by the Tribune reporter he
confirmed the report. AS ground
for a change in his political belief
and affiliations, he authorized the
Tribune reporter to say:
"The Wall street inspired candi-
dacy of Parker and the inquisitorial
politics Of Dubois are more than l
can assimilate. I prefer the Ameri-
canism of Roosevelt and Borah."
Mr.. Moore is we'll known in the
state on account of the prominence
he secured in the last session OF the
legislature. He was also a promi-
nent candidate for the congressional
nomination ON Democratic ticket two
years ago, being defeated for the
nomination by Joseph Hutchinson.
He is public speaker Of much abil-
ity. Mr.. Moore has been promi-
nent in the factional fights of the par
ty in Idaho county for the past four
years and was known as the leader
of the Moore wing of the party. Of
late he has strongly opposed the
Dubois" "Heittelt control of the party
in the state, claiming that it was
mixture of populism and anti-Mor-
monism instead of Democracy.
Mr.. Moore has also been a con-
spicuous figure in the state as the
supporter of the labor union conten-
tions and he has a large following
in labor circles. He made the fight
in the last legislature for the eight
hour law and has frequently deliv-
cred addresses at the labor demon
strations.

Defends Prohibition.

Editor of TRIBUNE: On the first
page of your issue for July 9th, un-
der the heading, "It is Socialism,"
you seem to quote from the Port
land Oregonian some assertions
concerning Prohibitionists and their
platform Whether the paragraph
be quotation or chiefly your own
expression, it must be a presenta-
ton of your own views, since it
agrees with the position uniformly
taken by THE TRIBUNE in refer
ence to the saloon.
Why should persons who have in
many ways during all their lives,
had the evil of using intoxicants as
beverage forced upon them, be
charged with socialism, because
they ask that government prohibit
the manufacture and sale of inebri-
ating drinks? Civil law is full of
prohibitions. Why, then, should
those who wish this particular in
ter iict to be enacted be accused of
socialism? Is it ''unthinkable"
that government should take
charge of the habits of the people,?
"This idea or some other as er-
rant, is such an expression as is
common with men when referring
to the convictions of those people
from whom they differ. We are all
accustomed to think the other man
is afflicted with some form of insan-
ity, if he has beliefs radically dis
tinguished from our own.
While the Prohibition vote
may be "no greater, relatively,
than it was many years ago., the
prohibition sentiment is gaining
rapidly. 1t is not fully expressed
through the Prohibition party, be,

WILL THEY STAND BY TICKET
They Must Repudlate Principles to

The following letter written to
tbe Pocatello Advance is self ex-

asking practically the same ques'
tion, The IS to I warblers are now
I'D against the gold standard. Those
who have denounced Grover Cleve-

leaders in the So called fusion forces,
who have dominated the democratic
party in Blaine county for some
years past, take in case of the NOM
ination of Judge Alton B. Parker?
AT the last convention in Blaine
county, Col. Ballentine, one of the
so-called fusion leaders, in an ad-
dress delivered on the occasion of
his election as presiding officer,
stated that the people of Blaine
county and of Idaho do not want
Parker-a man too cowardly to de-
clare himself by showing where he
stands or what his principles are,

to sacrifice principle by voting for
Parker"
Therefore, should Parker. as now
seems likely, be the candidate, will
the so-called fusion forces stand by
the ticket, or stand by their "princi-
pies as announced at Haley? They
can't do both, and there is a large
number of Democrats in Idaho who

they prefer to wait and throw light

cause some men have become con-
vinced that the end desired can be
attained more easily and rapidly
through some ether agencies.
The defense of the saloon seems
to be based on two ideas: -.,
First: That the moderate use of
stimulants is beneficial. or at least
harmless; that, the making by
some weak and unbalanced men for
themselves a curse of that which is
a blessing to right users, does not
furnish sufficient reason for the
prohibiting that thing. g.. >-. &c.,
= Second: That we are benefited
by the revenue.
In reference to the first point:
1t would seem clear to any student
of history to any observer of men,
that it is not the weak and unbal-
anced man only who is undone by
stimulants, but that many of the
most highly endowed and the most
splendidly educated find intoxi-
cants their most deadly foe. A
prosperous and respected citizen,
whose growing fondness for his
cups is giving his family and
friends increasing anxiety, said to
me few days ago that he believes
in prohibition, and admitted that
total abstinence is a mans only
security.
The second idea seems to be
equivalent to, if not the same as,
that of a prominent Caldwell man
who is unwilling to have restric-
tions I laced upon the saloons or to
have very rigid laws enacted and
enforced against certain recognized
forms of vice in the town, because
some men will 60 elsewhere to
spend their money, if they do not
find loose conditions here. The
sheepherder, with his six months
earnings, will find himself "dead
broke" in some other town, if Cald-
we'll does not furnish him what he
wishes.
We can all agree that the perma
nent development, prosperity, and
happiness of any people must de-
pend upon their honesty, sobriety,
chastity, industry, and intelligence.
challenge you, Mr.. Editor, or any
other person, to present a single
argument, acceptable to an unprej-
udiced party, showing that the sa-
loon assists in anyway to develop
in the least any of these funda-
mental virtues.
