and after the meeting adjourned,
spent nearly all the rest Of the
night IN saloons; drinking, swear

cursing the Mormons and making
outrageous statements as to the
lewdness Of Mormon men and
Mormon girls. There are many
others of this type, only less pro-

State and county government
should be in accord with the nat

who scratch their tickets help to
destroy the organization and its
effectiveness.
People who scratch the ticket
usually do SO on account Of per-

not valid reason. When you
do thatit is an assumption that
your judgement is better than the
combined judgement Of all your

Election Reports

People who have been taking
notes Of political situation in their
nelghborhoods have reported to
the Republican this week as,.fol-
lows:
Geo. White of Riveside:
Things are looking all right for
q good Republican majority.
There will be little scratching on
the county ticket but none to speak
Of on the state ticket. People
over there are for Gooding,
Borah and French.
G. E. Williams Of Thomas:
| don't know Of any dissatisfac-
ton. Ours is a strong Republi-
can precinct and we are for Good
ing. No dynamiters for us please.
John Watson of Otis: People
down our way are anxious to see
Bergman reelected.
Judge McCurdy of Basalt: Ours
is a very staunch Republican
precinct. Local questions have
caused us to lose some men and
gain others. Basalt is all right.
T. j, Williams, of Groveland:
AT the last election we had SO
straight Republican votes cut of
l24 cast; this year we expect to
cast SO or 100 straight.

Robert Lansdon, Republican
nominee for secretary Of state,
has been made the victim of one
Of those eleventh hour tricks
50 frequently used to down a man
when an open fight fails. This
| is the history Of the case:
| In 1902 he was elected assessor
Of Canyon County, and during
his term he learned something of
the personnel Of a set of grafters
in the county government. In
1904 he drove at least two Of
them off the ticket and was elect
ed sheriff. Since then he has
waged war against other grafters
in Office and has them ont ''after
his scalp They fought bitterly
to down him in the conventions,
and since his nomination have
audited his books covering two
yearsas assessor and twenty months
as sheriff, with the result that he
is charged With pocketing war
rant for $4,000 while assessor.
1t has been rumored for several
weeks that something would be
sprung on him just before the
election to accomplish his defeat.
While he was campaigning in
North Idaho last. week he was
charged with embezzlement, and
at the preliminary hearing was
bound over to answer in the dis
trict court. Thselection ballots had
already gone 70 press and it was
too late to place anyone else in
his stead, so it goes to the voters
with a shadow on Lansdon's name.
He is either guilty or he is in
nocent. If he is elected, and is
acquitted in the court, he will serve
as secretary Of state. If elected
and convicted, the conviction
would depose him and his place
would be filled by appointment by
the governor. In any event the Re
publican party would have some
one in the office who would be in
accord with the policies Of the ad-
ministration, and this attack
should not affect the party vote.
The fact that the charge was
made in the eleventh hour shows
clearly that it was done with the
cope Of securing party advantage
which could not be secured by
he merits Of the party and its
ssues. This fact alone should be
'ufficient reason for Republicans
'otlng the ticket straight.

Governor GoodlDg, and Judge
Smith, the man before whom the
men are likely to be tried, and
whom they have tried in vain to
intimidate.
The article is a long careful
statement of what has been done
since March to provide way to
clear the men. The work done
in many states to raise a s.defense

mares and pack the conventions,
the frequent and lengthy consulta-
tons with the prisoner and the re-
suits in each instance are given to
show the readers Of The Socialist
that the defense are at their wits
ends and can only recommend
their friends to vote .sanything

the reason that they are committed
to rigid enforcement Of the law.
It recommends voting the Demo-
cratic ticket because its candidates

These are some Of the reasons

cannot carry their plans thru the

whole case before their followers

AT that time it was question of
sustaining or defeating Stuenen-

for reelection as against Hunt
who was new and untried in that
position. Now it is a question of

against men who would be new to

Stockslager says he is for the

elected remains to be seen, but The
Socialist says plainly that the
moral effect of the defeat of Smith
and Gooding is very much to be
desired, and lays stress on the
idea "anything- to- beat Smlth-and-
