THINGS DOING AT WALLCE
CONVENTION

Fred I . Dubois, aided by Richard
Jackson and the rest Of his band
of political pirates, seem to be
running things at the Wallace con-
vention in their own sweet way.
The state central committee
brought about a condition of chaos
i'll the Twin Falls convention by
carrying out an unheard Of prece-
dent in Democratic politics-that
of the state central committee pas
sing on credentials. That Fred I
Dubois is forever passing from TO-
litics in the state of Idaho there can
be no doubt The fact that he was
a Republican, and domineering, ar
rogant political boss, rankles in the
bosoms of the old time democrats
in the State of Idaho, but in 1900
they accepted the enevitable and
allowed this self-constituted mon
arch to usurp and assume the
throne Since that time he has
been chief dictator, boss and
plenipotenfiary His methods are
crude in the extreme. There is
nothing so low and distardly in
politics that he would not resort
to to gain his end. He has ruined
the democratic party and has for
ever blasted his chances to person.

this state The bone and fibre,
the very being of democracy in
Idaho will die fighting before they
would see Fred l. Dubois govern

1t was reported to Chief of Police
Gritzmacher this morning that direc-

made to serve as gambling devices.

made to serve instead of dice and

MR.. BRYAN TO FARMERS

At Blair, Neb., Mr.. Bryan replied
to Mr. Taft's farmer speech" as
follows
Mr.. Taft has made an appeal to
the farmer. Eight years ago the
republicans were appealing to the
labOring men. They were using n
full dinner pail as party emblem
You could see the picture of dinner
pail on campaign buttons, and II
was emblazoned on the bill boards
everywhere. They told the laboring
man that he was getting plenty to
eat, and that so long as he got
enough to eat, he need not bother
himself about principles or policies
Of government.
Where Is the full dinner pail to-
day? l have travelled all over the
country and / have not seen q pic
ture Of it in this campaign, and have
not heard a republican mention it..
Why? Because the bottom Is out
and the dinner pail Is empty. The
laboring men who were deceived
then are embittered now by the dis
appointment, and we have the sup.
port of larger percentage of the
laboring men then we have had be-
fore In forty years.
The republican speakers are now
trying to practice the same deception
on the farmer that they practiced or
the labOring man. 1t Is the "ful
barn basket" now. The spell bind
ers tell Of big crops and high prices
and ask that the republican party BIZ
given credit for 1t. Does the repub.
lican party hold the clouds in its
hands? Does 1t scatter the rains In
due season? Does 1t furnish the
sunshine and the fertile soil2 1t Ia
sacrilege for these republican lead.
ers to claim credit that belongs to
a generous heavenly Father.
Is republican Legislation respon.
sible for the price Of farm products
In Canada farm products are as
high, and there is no republican
party in Canada. In England farm
products are as high, and they have
neither republican party nor high
tariff there.
What has the republican party
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1908-10-23

done for the benefit Of the farmer?
Not one thing. But It has permitted
the farmer to be afflicted by "known
abuses that have grown up under
republican rulc-thc abuses that the
republican leaders refused to rem
rdy.
The farmer has suffered FROM the
cXtortion uf the trusts; he has sui
fCred from the burden of high tariff;
hc has suffered from the insecurity
OF his deposits, and he shares in the
evils that follow from the craving
cstrangement between labor and
capital. Extravaganza in federal
appropriation lessons his income
and he finds himself unnecessarily
taxed to support II colonial policy in
the Orient.
The farmers believe in the rule Of
the people, and this has been pre-
vented by the republican leaders I;
the farmers believe in the election
of senator's by popular vote; and
this proposition was defeated in the
republican convention; the farmers
believe in honest elections, as well
as in honest government, and they
know that the republican convention
rejected the publicity plank. Mr.,
Taft underestimate the intelligence
OF the farmers OF the west, when he
asks them to accept the republican
record Of the last eleven years as
evidence Of the Willingness Of the
republican party to do justice to
| those who till the soil.

 Strategy that Failed.

 A lumbermna. in Minneapolis was re- puted to be the wealthiest man living west of the Mississippi River. He had been poor in his youth, however. and had never overcome the economic hah- its that he had formed in his days of poverty and in the building of the foundation of his colossal fortune
 His two sons.. however. were differ. ently trained. and when they returned from Yale they were seized with a de- sire. born no. doubt of fiIial love, to tx the old man up. They knew that 1t was cain to attempt to induce him to buy clothes other than the shabby and threadbare garments he had worn for years. and they resorted to strat- cgy.
 They went to tailor and told him to make S75 coat for their father. but to tell him that the price was $15. The loving sons promised to pay the diffsr- ence from the amounts they drew from their fathers bark account
 The old nlan finally consented, after much urging, to buy SIS coat and the coat was made. The old man paid over the SIS. and before he had gone more than two blocks he was met by an acquaintance. who was astouhded to see the multi-millionaire in the un- customary garment. He commented on the quality of the coat, and his fore fathers having been Englishmen, hA asked how much it cost.
