A CAMPAIGN CANARD.

An offensive, malicious tale of i'm
proper moral conduct has been started I
by some republicans against Mr.. Nc
Birney, republican candidate for the
Legislature, through grave mistake,
no doubt.
The Democratic candidate and CEN
trail committee wish to publicly
dsavow their responsibility in the
matter and to state that they most
emphatically disapprove of the circu-
lation of such story against man
they believe to be a clean, moral
gentleman of good character.
The Democrats are fighting Mr..
Mckinney in an open, fair and purely
political manner. They do not think
that he is the proper man for the peo-
pie of Elmore County to elect repre-
sentative, but their reasons are not
because of any alleged immortality
on his part. His character is sup
posed to be good.
The Democrats say that Mr.. Nc
Biney lacks age and experience in
legislative matters and that his close
connection with a timber combine
make an unsatisfactory man to the
the people into his confidence as to his
stand on an employers liability law
and the proposed scheme to repeal the
two-mile limit law and it is generally
supposed that he stands with the
moneyed interests on practically all
political questions. He is also under
obligations to vote for Senator Hey-
burn for u. S. senator and the peo-
, pie well know that Hepburn fought
every reform measure Roosevelt advo-
Gated, and is corporation reaction
airy. The people of this county want
to elect members of the Legislature
who will vote for their good FRIEND
Judge Stockslager for u. S. Senator,
J 3rd will therefore vote against Mr..
AcBirney, but they should not believe
any nasty stories his personal enemies
may circulate.

1t is said that they hope to get II
boom franchise on the Clearwater and
Boise rivers which shall give them
exclusive control of those rivers and
make it necessary for all timber men
to pay the Weyerhauser Barber
Companies tribute to drive logs down
those streams.
These big timber companies also
want an extension of another 20 years
time in which to take the timber they
have purchased from the state off
from land. This grant would retard
settlement and business that much,
and would put off until the next gen.
Grafton benefits that should fall to
this country within few years.
If those boom franchises and extern
sions are made it will mean that
small compititors in lumber will be
crushed out and we will have only a
trust to buy our lumber from and that
every new home on these fertile
prairies will pay its tribute.
These companies are earnestly sup
porting Brady and the republican can
didates for the Legislature, one OF
whom, Mr.. Mckinney, is lumber
dealer in Mountain Home. The Re
publican candidate for the senate is a
conductor on the railroad, running out
of Huntington down Snake River anc
is not at all interested in the pros
pectve buyers of lumber in this coun-
ty. The Republican candidates dc
not take the people into their conf
dence.
Persons who expect to buy lumbei
or who want to see lumber cheap 81
. that improvements may be made an'
small timber men and all bushes
men should bitterly oppose this at
tempt to monopolize the natura
2 water courses of this state for selfisl
4 and corporation profit.
> The only effective way to he'll
: prevent the passage of such boom il
= cense along the Boise river is to vot
e for Carl A. Davis for state senate
a and Charles B. Faraday for represen
] tative. They will fight the measur
d sincerely and ably and are homes
: enough to come out against it openly
knowing that this will cause corpora
ton money to be spent to bring abou
S their defeat.

HON. CHARLES 0. STOCKSLAGER
FOR u. S. SENATOR.

Practically all of the people of
Gilmore County, regardless Of party,
would be pleased to see Judge Stock
slayer selected u. S. Senator.
They know that he Is highly ed
ucated and learned man, but witha
one of the plain, common people.
AS jusrist he was afr and impair
tai. AS man he is generous and
strictly honorable AS citizen he
is pure and incompatible and as a U.
S. senator he would be an able man
championing earnestly and efficiently
the cause of the people. He believes
in the people and advocates the direct
primary law because he is not afraid
to trust the voters with power. He
favors the election of senators by the
people because he knows that the
senate is so controlled at present by
corporation men that the common peo-
pie have no reason to hope for reform
measures.
A vote for Davis for state senator
and for Faraday for representative
may mean two votes for Judge
Stockslager for U. S. Senator.

on the question and are
supposed to favor repeal Of that
law. Mr.. Richard is conductor on
the railroad and Mr.. Mckinney is
lumber dealer. Votes should support
the men who stand by the law.
The sheepmen are already rich and
can take care of themselves, but the
new settler, though generally poor, is
much needed by the state, and the
laws that protect them should be main
tanned.
If this law is repealed it will kill
out many new settlements from build
ing up. 1t will drive away immi-
grants and prevent proper increase
in population and wealth.
The new people coming in raise
prices and spend money for the bet
terment of the conditions all over
the state and the greater the popula-
ton the higher land values and the
better the market will be.
Mr.. Davis is farmer and Mr.
Faraday deals in land, and they are
intensely interested in maintaining
/ this law in force and effect.

SENATOR HEPBURN, ARIST0-
GRAFT AND REAcTI0NAEY.

All people who believe in the direct
primary law should vote against the
Republican nominees for the legisla-
ture for if elected they are pledged to
support the worst enemy to the rule
of the people the state of Idaho ever
knew.
Everyone in favor Of electing U.
S. senators by vote of the people
should help defeat Messrs. Rickard
and Mckinney, republican candidates
for the legislature for they will help
defeat that reform if elected by vot-
ing to put Hepburn back in the senate
so that he can work against constitu-
tional amendment providing that the
people may elect their senators. He
is bitterly opposed to anything that
will disturb the present oligarchy in
the senate which can and does defeat
all reform legislation under the DOM
ination of Aldrich, the Standard Oil
man. They work together.
All persons who believe in honesty
and faithfulness in politics, as well as
in business should vote against the
Heyburn legislative candidates, be-
cause he repudiated the party plat
form and the convention that nomi-
mated him within ten minutes after he
was in a position of safety himself,
so that they could not appropriately
rebuke him. He is most bitterly and
emphatically opposed to the platform

mary law and election of senators By

DANGER FOR Two-MILE LIMIT
LAW.

There is great danger that the
present law known as the Two-mile
Limit Law, providing that sheepmen
shall not Craze their herds within two
miles of residence, will be repealed
in the next legislature.
1t behooves all persons who are in
terested in that law to get busy in
support of the candidates for the leg
islature who stand by the law
1t has been rumored for sometime
that big sheepmen were picking for
the legislature men who had no inter
ests in common with the farmers and
small stock men, and that big fund
had been accumulated to protect the
sheep mems interests in the legisla-
ture.
1t is absolutely necessary that new
settlers and farmers and small horse
and cattlemen have at least their own
door yards for their milch cows and
work horses, but since sheep range is
getting scarce and the forestry service
rules more numerous and stringent,
the sheepmen are getting short of
range and want to Craze their focks in
and through the new sparsely settled
districts where the grass cannot now
be grazed by them.
If the sheepmen Craze off the grass
in these new communities where nc
feed can be hauled in and the people
could not afford it anyway. it will re-
tard the progress of the state and kill
out many settlements absolutely.
Carl A. d avis, Democratic candi-
date for the senate and Charles b
Faraday, candidate for the house
are bitterly opposed to the repeal o.
this law and are out in the open fight
ing to maintain it.
Mr.. Rickard and Mr.. Mckinney, Re
publican candidates for the senate an'
house respectively, are not openl.

Judge StocksIager would do ten
times as much for this county and its
citizens as Hepburn would in the u.
S. Senate. Vote for your friends not
your enemies. The Cosmopolitan,
Golfers and other reform papers are
calling upon the people of Idaho to de-
feat Hepburn for the good of popular
government.

DEMOCRATS FAVOR EMPLOYER S
LIABILITY LAW.

The Democratic candidates for the
legislature in Elmore county, Messrs.
Davis and Faraday, are heartily in
favor of an employers liability law.
Mr. Davis has the legal attain
ments necessary to qualify him to pre-
pare such measure that will be cons /
titutional and push it in the senate
and Mr.. Faraday has the courage and
ability to champion it in the house.
Both men sincerely believe that
such measure is absolutely necessary
to properly protect the employees ON
railroads and in mines and men ON
other public works from cheap, defec-
tive machinery and incompetent en-
ployees. They think that it is for the
good Of the state to provide such
law, and that it will have a material
tendency to increase wages of good
men, and improve equipment ON rail
roads and elsewhere, thus saving much
needless loss of human life.
1t is of vital Importance to workers
on the railroad and in the mines to
have suehra-law ard it is well for
them 10 consider whether or not the
other candidates for the Legislature
are in position to do as much in
this matter for them as Mr. Davis
would in the senate and Mr.. Faraday
would in the house. Mr.. Davis
makes his living raising peaches and
Mr.. Faraday by selling land and
neither one would lose a cent in his
business by fighting the railroad com
panies and other big companies for the
good of the workers. They have both
been hard working men and know
their proper needs and sympathize with
them in their ambition to secure bet
ter conditions for themselves and their
families.
Though Mr.. Richard for Senator on
the Republican ticket is gentleman
of ability, it is not fair to him, his
friends or his employers for him tc
be placed in the position where he
would have to offend someone, either
his employers or his friends in order
to take a position on this measure.
And Mr.. Mckinney is not com
mitted either way and is therefore toe
/, uncertain to expect the workers sup
port. They will properly say that {
man who is not for them is probably
against them.
Such a law properly framed il
right in principle and would operate
to save much suffering, without being
an undue burden upon even the EN-
!, ployers.
MI AiCAdilltis NdiiNtOotS iot SVN
ernor, is also in favor of such mea
sure and will sign it, if the workers
: friends can push it through the legis
lature 1t only needs that the voter
stand by those who can and will serv
them TO have such a law on tn
statute books this winter.
viii the working men help tn
big corporations gain control of thi
legislature or will they put men !
control who are in position to figh
!, for the working people? Much de
ponds upon their vote and they ca
win if they stand for men who ca
, help them.

1900 REGISTRATIONS
BEING RAPIDLY ISSUED

The local office of the motor vehicle
department, at Ga Park place, received
this week it's supply of registration and
license cards for 1909. as well as the
new markers for the cars. These are
now being issued to motorists as rap
idly as the clerks can handle the appli-
cations, and A. B. lie Massena, the
agent for Newark. anticipates that a
majority of the machine-owners will
have renewed their registration before
the last week in the year, when all
licenses expire by law.
Those motorists who take early ad-
vantage of the opportunity to re-
register row will obtain very low num-
bers, which under the present policy of
the department they will probably be
privileged to retain from year to year
upon application. This would make it
desirable to take a license now instead
of waiting until January to attend to
it, as of course the available numbers
win be of necessity much higher at
that time han at present.
he markers for the coming year are
a vast Improvement on those of 1913.
They are of black enamel with the
registration number in 5-inch white
figures, and the seal of the department
containing the certified maker's number
of the car, is of much neater design,
and is riveted on the pad, while the
holes for the straps are much smoother
than of old, SO that fewer lost pads will
probably be reported.
The department has also adopted
some innovations in the license tickets
which are to be commended. Hereto
fore all tickets, whether for driver or
car, were of the same color, and the
year had to be inserted in ink. For
1909, the drivers licenses are of a sal
mon color, the motor cycle registrations
are printed on heliotrope cardboard and
the automobile tickets on light blue,
while across the face of all cards ap-
pear the figures 1909 in bold type. This
plan will make them easily distinguish
able at a glance.
The local Office also h a
it has received the pads for those au-
tomobilists who reserved their old num-
bers for the coming year., and same Will
be delivered to them upon the presen-
tation of their 1908 tickets for cancella-
ton.
