INFORMATION BUREAU BUSY.
MESSENGERS Worked All Night il
Showing Visitors to Rooms.

The public Information bureau
provided annually by the lewiston
Clarkston Fair association has al
ways been generally appreciated by
the visitors to the annual fair, but
never has their work, been more effec-
tive or more thoroughly appreciated
than last night. ~"
The arrival of the midnight train
from Spokane and the special trains
bearing the hundreds with the carni-
val attractions and livestock exhibits
filled the hotels to overflowing, and
but for the work of the information
bureau a large number of people
would have been compelled to walk
the streets During the entire after
noon and evening the demand for
rooms at the information bureau had
been very heavy, but not until the
arrival of the late trains were those
'ir charge fully apprised Of what the
opening of the eighth annual fair
really signified.
The effective work of the bureau
In securing the large lists of rooms
allowed the management to prG/ide
quarters for the visitors as rapidly
as tide meands were made, but be-
cause of the quarters being scatter
ed throughout the city 1t was many
hours before the guests had all been
taken to their rooms.
The bureau is again asking for
more rooms, and the people of both
Lewiston and Charleston are asked to
list tonight all available rooms that
have not been placed sat the disposal
of the fair association.

MONTENEGRO Ready to Shed Blood.

Cettinje. Oct 12.-The Montene-
gran national assembly opened here
today in extraordinary session. The
war fever. which was already run
ming high. has been strengthened by
the bellicose message to parliament
from Prince Nicholas. who declared
that the annexation Of Bosnia and
Herzegovina by Austria Hungary
lad inflicted a crying wrong upon
Montenegro and that the people were
prepared to sacrifice their last drop
of blood unless peaceful endeavors
row on foot resulted in righting
these grievances. The message was
received with cheers of approval.

OPENING DAYS RACES
PLEASE LARGE CROWDS.
Track in Splendid Condition-Class
Of Horses Best Ever Known.

Two things were evident at the
opening Of the fair races this after
noon. First that the class of horses
was the best ever offered at the
meetings OF the association: second,
that the crowds were to be given
a square deal. The best horses that
have raced this season ON the North
west and Montana circuits will fur
nish spirited contests for the fair vis-
itors this week and owing to the fine
&C ndition of the track 1t is expected
that several records will be broken.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CON-
VENTION AT SIOUX CITY.

The Sioux City Democratic Club is
making great preparations to entertain
the delegates to the democratic state
convention which will be held at Sioux
City on Thursday, June 18th. The club
has issued the following circular letter
to the democrats of the state:
Sioux City, Iowa, June II, 1908.
Sioux City has been selected by the
State Central Committee as the meet
ing place for the Democratic State
Convention, to be held on June 18th,
1908. and we want to make this con-
vention memorable one.
The present condition of our political
opponents warrant us in believing that
the opportunity now affords our party
by it's platform, which will be made
here, to go before the people of our
state with brighter prospects of success
than has been offered for years.
We cordially invite you to be present
at this convention; nothing will be
spared on the part of our citizens to
make your visit pleasant one.
Governor Boise was nominated here
and elected afterwards. We desire to
make this another historical convention
Sioux Citys facilities for taking care
of the crowd are ample and there will
be no lack of hotel accommodations
Come to the convention and by your
attendance help the good old cause
along. Yours in the faith,
w. G.. SEARS,
Chairman Sioux City Democratic Club

A GOOD FIGHT THIS YEAR.

The democratic party must make a
good fight this year, if its existence as
an important political power is to be
preserved. It's position is already seri-
ously threatened by republican senti-
ment, which appears in various parts Of
the country to favor an enforcement of
section of the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution. This would reduce
the representation in congress and in
the electoral college of those states in
which the negro has been DISTINGUISHED.
The Ohio republican platform con-
tains plank on the subject and Repre-
sentative Keller of that state has intro
duced into congress bill to the same
purpose. This measure was, of course,
not passed at the recent session, but if
the country should go overwhelmingly
republican next fall it will unquestion-
ably be heard Of again.
If the second section of the fourteenth
amendment were enforced, the South's
representation in congress would be
reduced from SO to 81, and there would
be a proportional reduction IN electoral
| votes. At present there are only thirty
seven democrats in congress outside OF
New York City.
Unless great democratic gains are
made in the north, the democratic party
will be reduced to something like 10C
members of congress and it's influence
in national politics will be greatly
lessened.

PORTER CAN BE ELECTED.

The winding up of the sensational
contest in the republican party to de-
termine who shall be their candidate
for United States senator from Iowa,
has left scars that will not heal SO east
ly. That the election of Allison was
necessary to the big trusts and protec-
Zionist is best evidenced by the thous-
ands of dollars they threw into the Iowa
campaign. In every spot where money
could be used it was used, and in the
most unsparing manner. Scores of men
in every county were handling this
money. By no other means could such
an interest be created. In Des Moines
county, where there is normal demo-
cratic majority of from so to 1000, near
ly twice as many votes were polled by
republicans as by democrats.
The extraordinary action of the barons
should and will alarm the public. 1t
shows that interests hostile to the great
mass of people will spare no effort to
, accomplish their ends at the ballot box.
| Cummins was tariff reformer, and for
this reason the trusts and all their in
terests were against him. He is now
out of the running, and unless there is
a democratic Legislature in Iowa this
winter Allison will be the next senator.
The only hope of the people lies in
the election of democrat to succeed
Allison. Claude Porter represents the
Cummins view of tariff reform. He will
work and vote for reduction of the
duties now claimed necessary to run a
hundred million dollar navy and an
equally expensive army. He would be
a factor in the encouragement of indie
pendent industries and the curbing Of
monopolies. If the followers of Albert
B. Cummins are really in earnest in the
work of reform they will act in body
to secure the election of democratic
senator. The election of a democratic
legislature will do it, and Des Moines
county will do it's share in the work

TRYING TO SAVE THE PARTY.

'The republican national convention
opens ten days hence. The great coun-
Gil of the republican party faces a
situation with whose like it has not
had to deal since 1885," says the Chi
ergo Inter-Ocean, staunch republican
paper. "The country is in adversely,
felt mostly by those who have, from
every viewpoint, least deserved to feel
it.
Furthermore, this adversely" the
Inter-Ocean continues with warning
emphasis, "has not come about under
the circumstances which attended that
with which the convention of 1875 had
to deal. 1t cannot be explained as a
necessary readjustment of conditions
distorted through a great civil war.
"Nor can any part of the RESPONSE
bility for it be unloaded upon political
opponents, as was the case in 1896. For
twelve years the republican party has
been in complete control Of every
branch of the national government.
The responsibility that the common
man lays upon the party in power
when he finds it harder to get his
bread must be wholly borne by repub-
licans.
Surface attention toward the repub-
lican convention is fixed upon the
contest of personal ambition. The as
piration that produces these contests
is laudable, but after all it is only a
I means to an end. The members of the
convention must think about these con-
tests. But they should also be thinking
and very seriously and soberly of other
and greater things.
t0Tha ronuhlican ma ptv cannot on in IN
this campaign with the argument Under
republican rule the country prospers
let us keep on prospering.' Nor can ii
say, Under democratic rule the country
has not prospered; let us restore repub.
lican prosperity These arguments are
now futile. They do not fit the visible
facts.
"The republican party has before il
to blink the truth. To win it must
moment, but to the convictions thai
abide-to the sober and patriotic
thought of the American people thai
leads them to do the best for each anC
all.
i "To win, the republican party mus
come forward in strong upholding o
the things that abide and of the ideas
by whose power nations grow strong
through helping all their people to g.
up together, and with men whose know
and proved character guarantees thei
fidelity to national welfare in it's broad
est sense.
"The need is upon the republican
party to do this as never before in it,
history. Therefore is there great neet
for every member of the republican
national convention to take sober ant
serious thought, not SO much Of mel
as Of the republican faith by which hi
1 party may be saved"
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-06-18

There has been a great change in our
congressional delegation in the last
two years. Two years ago Congress-
men Lacey was put out of business by
an overwhelming vote. Congressman
Cousins saw the handwriting on the
wall and declined to face the verdict
of the primaries, and resigned. John
A. I. Hull, who has for twenty odd years
hung on by manipulating conventions,
goes down probably to defeat at the
first primary where the people have a
real chance. Congressman Birdsall and
Congressman Conner also went down to
defeat before the primaries, while some
of the others got through by a scratch.
1t is needless to point out that had
there been opposition to Congressman
Kennedy of the First he would have
been defeated for renomination.-Mt.

ABOUT FREE TRADE.

The democratic party has never advo-
Gated free trade between the nations.
1t has been called the free trade
party" by the republicans for political
effect, and there are today some ignor-
ant people who believe it to be such.
No democratic platform ever declared
for free trade from the first platform, in
1910, down to date. They have declared
invariably for tariff for revenue and
the first resolution on the subject,
adopted in 1910, was repeated in every
national democratic platform down to
and including 1850, and under that ex-
preston the Walker tariff was enacted,
which gave construction to the express
sion and remains today the settled
democratic doctrine

TAFT'S ISLANDER OF GRANTS
MEMORY.

Why he did SO, is yet unexplained,
yet the fact remains that Secretary
Taft, the republican candidate for Presi-
dent, who will probably be nominated
at Chicago next week, perpetrated a
gross SANDER on the memory of General
US. Grant, when making the memorial
address at Grants tomb. During the
course of his remarks he charged that
Grant, the greatest of the northern
generals, was addicted to the excessive
use of intoxicants and this charge was
made in the presence, not only of those
who listened to the address, but men,
bers of the family of the deceased SOL
der. 1t produced profound impress
sion and he was bitterly criticised by
many of those present, the ill taste and
seeming lack OF Judgment on the part
Of the war secretary and presidential
candidate being roundly condemned.
The members of the Grand Army of
the Republic throughout the length and
breadth of the land and without regard
to political affiliations, deeply resent
the unwise words Of Secretary Taft and
they have just cause for indignation for
| this gratuitous SANDER was directly
without excuse or justification. His
tory does not support the accusation of
Secretary Taft and even did it do So,
| there was no occasion for him to speak
thus slanderously and were it the fact,
it neither lessons or mitigates Taft g
offense against common decency. Gen.
eral Grant was a brave and successful
American soldier and the American poo
| pie thought SO highly of his services
that he was given the highest Office with
in their gift. Since his death, the harsh
sectional feeling engendered by the
war has been softened and has practic-
ally passed away, the bitter enmities
Of that sanguinary contest having been
buried in the grave of forgetfulness.
Men Of the south, as we'll as men of the
north, have learned to value by the
proper standards, Lee and jackson as
we'll as Grant and Sherman. Not in the
whole warm southland can there today
be found man of any prominence or
understanding, who would speak dis
! paringly of any of the northern dead
1t remained for man from Ohio and a
republican, to malign and SANDER the
} memory of Ulysses S. Grant.
All over the land, the Grand Army
posts are passing resolutions of censure
on the ill-timed speech of Secretary
Taft and these resolutions find an ap.
proving echo in the hearts of their for.
mer foes. Respect for the nations dis
tinguished dead allows no place fol-
J sectional resentment and no excuse, nc
!, claim of mitigating circumstances, nc
appeal of misunderstanding, will palli
ate or condone an offense Of such seri
GUS character as the war secretary anc
republican candidate for president O.
the United States has so Intentionally
committed. Joe Observer.

The Goth congress has made record
of non-accomplishmeut Of matters which
the people of the United States have
urged be done. 1t has not failed to
draw it's increased salaries nor waste
valuable time in the discussion of legis-
lation still remaining unenacted. When
the session began last December there
was promise of many things in the in
terests of the people. The promise
remains unfulfilled.

Treasury officials are making prepara-
lions to carry into effect the new cur
rency law. An Associated Press dis
patch from Washington says: Assist
ant Secretary Coolidge conferred with
Director Dalph of the bureau of en-
craving and printing and W. W. Ed
ridge of the Office of comptroller of the
currency and the statement was author
lied that the actual work of printing
the new notes would be begun within
the next ten days. The new notes will
be identical with the national bank
legend at the top of the face of the
note, Secured by bonds of the United
States, will be changed to Secured by
bonds of the United States or other
securities The comptroller Of the
currency now has in the vaults about
$2O3,000,0O0 in old notes belonging to
various national banks and these will
be used as required until new notes are
printed and seasoned ready for use. 1t
is probable that it will require six
months to change all Of the plates used
by the 6,810 national banks, but it is
expected that some of the new issue
will be ready for delivery by July /
next. Several matters connected with
the new issue are still under discussion
one of the most important being the
denominations of the notes, but it is
thought that the smaller denominations
will issue first, as each autumn there
is heavy demand for small notes, es.
pecially from the west and south. As
soon as the department is ready to
supply. the new notes in any quantity
required, no further issue Of the pres
ent notes will be made, the present
notes being destroyed as fast as they
reach the treasury for redemption and
new notes issued in their place"
