course and the policies he has pursued
In the United States senate and In
disrupting the Democratic party In the
state OF Idaho, prove his assertions and
declarations to be true,

and unpatriotic leadership has forced
many true Democrats out OF the party,
and created dissenslon and disgust
within its ranks.

liclously misrepresented social and NOR
al conditions IN Idaho, and particularly
Fremont county, 10 such an extent as
10 create the impression that Idaho Is
not ut place for decent and respect
able people 10 reside and rear their
families, and has thereby done much to
hinder and retard the growth Of our
fair young state.
s. Because he violated the instruc-
tons OF the Democratic convention at
Weiser In 1904, and through his innu-
ence and trlckery the vote OF Idaho IN
the national Democratic convention was
cast for Alton b. Parker for the nom
nation as president instead OF the Hon.
VIM X. Hearst who was the choice Of
the Democrats OF Idaho.

American" party In this state and Il Is
now his sole aim and purpose to disrupt
disband, and disorganize the Democra-
tic party In Idaho with view OF or
ganizing and building up the "Amerl
can party to further his own political
ambitions.
