BOISE, Idaho Oct. 31.-One of the
most outrageous conspiracies that has
ever been perpetrated upon the peo-
pie is now being attempted in con-
nection with the candidacy of Robert
Lansdon of Weiser, for Secretary of
state upon the republican ticket.
Mr.. Lansdon is charged with having
collected the sum of $4,000 in the way
Of taxes while tax collector of Wash
ington county in 1904, which money
it is claimed has never been turned
over to that county. Mr.. Lansdon has
filed an emphatic denial and asked
flor a speedy trial in the district court.
This trial will probably be held during
the coming month, and his friends
aud lots of acquaintance that he pos
hdent that the conspiracy will be ex-
posed and this gentleman be fully
|vindicated. The charge itself is one
of the most puerile nature and is
only dignifed by the malice of. those
who have brought it,
Mr.. Lansdon was the tax collector
| of Washington county throughout two
years and handled the fiscal business
of the county with rare ability. and
without being the subject Of any sus-
picion. That an error may have crept
into his books can easily be UNDER
stood but that 1t was due to GRIMM
ality will not be believed by those
who know Mr. Lansdon. and should
not be believed by anyone until clear
ly established in the courts. Robert
Lansdon is a young man whose span
of life has been spent almost entir-
. ely within the State Of Idaho. Raised
from early boyhood in the county
which has honored him twice, and
through whose solicitations he is at
present a candidate upon the STATE
ticket. he has an enviable reputatea

this state. During the incumbency of
the sheriff's Office of Washington
county, for years known as the home
been made a place where property
is safe and where movables do not
have to be guarded for fear they
should be lost by theft.
When he was nominated at Poca-
tello the first of last August, the
people of his county generally re-
ioiced at this evidence of the apprec-
iaton of his worth by the people of
the state at large. \ rumor was cir
culated by the democracy, however
that they intended to make some
expose that would result in his defeat.
Just the character of the charges to
be made was not specified so that il
was impossible to then guard against
the carrying out of the conspiracy
that is now in full swing. However,
just Wlthln thlrty days prior To ell
ection the conspirators brought these
charges to the attention of the county
commissioners, Mr.. Lansdon being in
a distant part of the state, removed
from telegraph and telephone lines.
and upon direction of the county COM
missioners, the county attorney filed
"a complaint charging Mr.. Lansdon
with the crime of embezzlement.. AS
soon as he learned of this, Mr.. Lans-
don returned to Weiser and demand
ed speedy trial. This he is now
waiting to have. He has made a SOL
emn affirmation, both in court and to
his friends and others, that he Is alb
solutely innocent OF any wrongdoing,
and that the charges made are en-
tirely untrue. and without foundation

of the Evening Teller
Probably this is only an unpleas-
ant incident that has been attached
to the campaign this year. The fact
that it is conspiracy that has been
formed against Mr.. Lansdon in which
mis- opponent, resident of the same
county, has himself been prime mover
and hopes to be chief beneficiary.
makes this move all the more damn
able.
1t is not alone that an attempt is
being made to defeat a candidate for
a state office, but that coupled with
that defeat is a malicious desire to
ruin a man in the estimation of his
friends and of those who know him
only by reputation, and of casting a
stain upon the wife and children
which neither he nor they deserve.
Certainly all men are accounted in
nocent until proven guilty. Mr.. Lans-
don has protested his innocence. His
friends in Washington county. and
they are legion. express the utmost
confidence in him. 1t Is predicted by-l
the people of Weiser that the fight

there have been the least danger Of

that time is an indication OF the
malace which animates his enemies
The particular alleged discrepancy
in his books of which much is now
being made has been known to his
| opponent Mr.. Galloway and his In
mates for more than a year. and has
been held in their hands with a hope
OF being used as an effective political
weapon when the occasion occurred.
Mr.. Lansdon is still the candidate OF
his party; IL he should be elected and
could not establish his innocence OF
the charges that are made against
