Proof of Merit,

The proof of the merits of plaster
Is the cures 1t effects, and the volun-
tary testimonials of those who have
used Allcock's Plasters during the
past sixty years is unimpeachable
evidence of their superiority and
should convince the most skeptical
Self-praise is no recommendation, but
certificates from those who have used
them are.
Allcock's are the original and gen.
uine porous plasters and have never
been equaled by those who have
sought to trade upon their reputation
by making plasters with holes in
them. Avoid substitutes as you would

ed In the records the dissenting op-
inion of Associate Justice McKenna
to the opinion Of the supreme court
of the United States, that the court
could not inquire into the circum-
stances surrounding the alleged kid
mapping of the three men. Senator
Hepburn then secured an order for
the printing of the majority opinion
of the court
The petition asks for the enactment
Of "such laws and measures as may
be required to redress the grievous
wrongs committed against Meyer
Haywood and Pettibone, and to safe
guard and protect the citizens of this
country from legalized kidnapping and
deportations by administrative order
in the future"
The fact that these men had not
been In Idaho for several years prior
to the time they were arrested for
completely in the Steunenberg murder
Is recited. 1t is declared that the de-
cision of the supreme court that it
could not inquire into the alleged
conspiracy of the governors of Ida

of kidnapping and puts in the hands
of corporate interests power by which
they may lay hands upon citizens of
any state, tear them from their homes
and firesides, deport them to another
state and thrust them in prison, there
to remain without trial for months
or years, thus depriving citizens of

Mr.. Crawford seems to have
started a boomerang when he re-
ferred in his announcement to the
distribution of federal patronage
for this state in 1897. He charges
that on April 26, 1897, a secret
compact was entered into between
National Committeeman Mark
Hanna and Mr. Kittredge and A.
G. Johnson by which Kittredge and
johnson controlled the federal pat
ronage of the state, and that Mr..
Hanna filed written notice in
Washington recognizing these two
men as above.
1t will be remembered that on
the date given this state was rep
resented in both houses Of congress
by democrats and populists while
the national admins tration was
republican. In such cases it is
customary in making federal ap-
pointments to recognize the rec
ommendation of the national COM
mitteeman. In this case Mr.. Kilt
redge was the national committee
man. This 'secret compact"
which according to Mr.. Crawford's s
own statement was not secret at
all, inasmuch as he says it was fill
ed In written notice in Washing
ton, recognized not only Mr.. Kit.
redge, the national committeeman,
A. G. johnson, the previous ma
tional committeeman, but also ].
D. Elliott, the chairman of the
state committee. Why did he not
mention Mr.. Elliott's connection
with this Compact ?" Simply be-
cause Mr.. Elliott is now support
ing Mr.. Crawford.
But there is another fact that
Mr.. Crawford doesn't mention. On
July 1, 1897, only two months af.
ter this terrible compact" is al.
legged to have been made another
arrangement was made. Rober'
S. Person, secretary of the state
committee, was sent to Washing
ton with written credentials giving
him "full authority to act in mat
ters pertaining to appointment
and other matters affecting tn
good of the party, to represent us
| (the signers) and at all times an,
under all circumstances to spea

signed not only by Messrs. Kit
redge and Johnson, but also b

party, several of whom are no
