that of governor of state in his
canvas making such statement
A remark of that sort has no re-
semblance whatever of a politician
and it looks very much like the
people at last have candidate for
whom they can vote for governor
who is not a politician but BUSH
ness man who will give business
administration should he be elected.
If more men of this type could be
elected to Offices there can be but
little question as to what would be-
come of the professional politician
who is continually urging the people
to vote their ticket straight knowing
that this is the only way a tricky
politician can get his nose into the
public trough. Had a candidate
made statement like this a few
years ago it would have been just
cause for the politician TO have ask
ed his resignation from the ticket
and the candidate would have been
driven out of the party and all the
mean epithets at the command of the
politician would have been applied
to him. 1t begins to look as though
politics would be raised to higher
plane and the little one sided poll
tician would be relegated to the rear
and be forced to take up some other
other than that of trying to
tell the people how to run the govern
ment.

The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1908-10-08

All the tickets have been ncminat-
cd the speaking has begun and the
the campaign for the year of 1908
is now in full blast from the presi-
dent down to the county and pre-
cinct officers. In presidential years
OF the campaign too often the nat
ional issues overshadow our own
iacaI ones which usually are of far
more Importance to US than the nat
ional issues, at least we can often
do ourselves more immediate goo
by looking after them than We could
do on national questions. That
there is legislation needed both in
the state and nation on different
questions, no one will doubt. neither
is there any question but that We
frequently have too much legislation
which does no one, or at least but
very few. any good. AL parties
and platforms advocate some good
measures. Platform makers and
politicians become adept in advo-
eating good measures before Ell;
tons, whether or not they are sin
cere in such advocacy, because they
want the votes to win at the polls
and know that they must do this in
order to win. IF they were all sin
cere it would be easy for the people
10 get the remedial Legislation for
which they are asking but the pro-
fessional politician has become so
accustomed to advocating reforms
for the sole purpose of getting votes
and with no thought of ever giving
the people the reforms, that it is no
wonder the people have become so
thoronghally disguised and so dis
trustful of the professional politician
and ofhcs seeker. The Herald has
at all times under its present manag-
ment advocated legislation that it is
thoroughally convinced would be of
benefit to the people, not only Of
this particular section. but to vast
majority of the people of the state
with only one object in view, to
benefit the people, knowing full well
that what viii benefit the people of
the state and of this county will also
benefit the Herald. We are also
glad to note that these reforms and
measures as advocated by the
Herald have been, or at least a
majority of them, put in one of the
platforms and a part Of them in both
of the county platforms. We also
believe that majority of the candi-
dates nominated are honest men and
will carry out as near as they can,
the platforms of their respective
parties. Then if they will do this,
there is left only one thing for the
voters to do. Study the platform
carefully and without prejudice,
then cast aside party ties and vote
for the measures that you honestly
and sincerely believe viii be to your
own interests and We believe you
will be well repaid for your effort in
rying to bring about the needed
egislation.

Negroes Held for Old Murder.

Five negroes are in jail at Newport charged with the murder of Joe Cort- ney. prominent farmer and mill man. who was found dead upon the road near Shoffner, his home, on the night of October ?, 1905. It is alleged that one of the negroes. when he thought he was on his death bed, ad- mitted that he and his brother had murdered Mir. Cortney because of a grudge which they bore him for whip ping them when they were boys. The two negroes implicated others in the murder of Courtney and all have been arrested.
 The negroes arrested are: Levi Bordens and Wes Barher of Lincoln county, Asa Borders, Chapman Hen drison and Arthur Morris of Jackson county. Jeff Morris, father of Arthur Morris, is also in prison on the charge of perjury in attempting 10 shield his son.
 When the body of MT. Cortney was found it was presumed that he had met his death in a runaway How ever, two girls who were in the road at the time declaring that they had seen band of negroes rush upon and assault MT. Cortney.
 All five negroes are held on the charge of murder in the first degree

Complete Returns Show Big Increase.

Complete returns from Mondays election which have been received up to the present time confirm the early prediction that the total vote cast in Mondays election was larger than that cast two years ago, and that the Democratic majority would be at least as large as that received by Governor Little.
 Complete returns from sixteen coun- ties, official and unofficial. give Don- aghey 25,713 and Worthington 10144. plurality of 15.569 for Donaghey These same counties In 1906 gave Little 22.779 and Worthing.on 9,46S. plurality of 13,3ll for Little
 If the remainder of the returns show the same gains. the total vote cast in Mondays election will be found to be approximately 175.000. as com pared with 151 .S48 in 1906. and Don. aghey's plurality over Worthington will be nearly 75,000. Complete re- turns may decrease these figures, but the indications are that both the total vote cast and the Democratic majority will break all previous records
 
 The full returns which have been re- ceved show marked increase in the vote for the Socialist candidate for governor over that of two years ago. If the present gain Is maintained in the counties which have not yet re- ported. the indications are that the Socialist vote will be increased from 2.1S5. the number Of votes cast for Dan Hogan for governor in 1906. to more than 10000
 Thirteen counties from which the Socialist vote has been reported give Jones, the nominee of that party for governor. total of 1.249 votes. The same counties, in 1906. gave Hogan 349 votes The Socialists have made big gains in several counties. In Polk county their vote jumped from 34 in 1906 to 222. In Independence county it was increased from 34 to l74.

Carpenter White Gets His..

A fine of $100 and six months on the farm was the portion meted out to John P. White the carpenter arrest ed by Detectives Morgan and Wick Sunday for alleged numerous thefts about the city.
 White has not been taken to the farm and must face the court on sev. eral more charges growing out of his extended career of crime. At the of flee of the detectives is a motley col. lection embracing everything from a spool of silk thread to set of silk window blinds, stolen from homes about the city where he has been em. ployed
 White has confessed to most of the thefts. but the detectives are of the opinion that he can be persuaded to reveal the hiding places of considera- ble additional plunder. White made good wages. and the only explanation for his thievery is that he stole the plunder to present to women he sd- mired.

Cotton Shippers Angry.

Cotton shippers throughout this sec tion are very bitter against the rail roads for ordering the twenty-three per cent rise in general freight rates, which take effect on Thursday, Sep tember 24. There are rumors that their exchanges. in the next two or three days, will take decisive action toward arousing a concerted opposi- tion and applying for an injunction to prevent the rise from going into effect before the state railroad com mission has passed upon the legality of the change in schedule.
 The rise, they urge, is unprece- dented and evidently chosen without regard for the shippers. They point out the rise in Texas, which was only 10 per cent. and ask why Arkansas should be charged so much more for a similar service.

Might Riding Fake Is Exploded.

Reports to the effect that night riders havo appeared recently near Lake City were exploded Saturday when it was learned from number of reliable sources that no night riders have appeared anywhere and that the reports to that effect were the result of joke played on William Craddock of Lake City.
 Mir Craddock owns a horse. which is alleged to have created disturb anee in Lake City and which, it is said. caused some of the residents of that place to remark in a joking man her. that they intended to have an ordinance passed in the city council prohibiting the animal from appear ing on the streets. Shortly after ward. according to information se- cured. the switches were found by MT. Craddock pinned on the door of his barn in which the horse was kept.
 Investigation has brought to light the fact that the joke on Mr. Craddock resulted in the scattering of rumors to the effect that night riders had dDptdItu III lHdI SeCilOU dHu that lHe one instance, which was intended as q joke, was the sole and only basis for all of the reports which gained in magnitude as they were spread. until it has been flashed across the entire continent that night riders. supposed to be members of the Arkansas Farm. CTS Union, have appeared in Craig. head county and made many dire threats.
 The reports nave caused general eonstcrnation among officers of the Farmers Union. who have started an Investigation. According to the re- ports the band of night riders who were alleged to have appeared last week were members of the union and made threats which were directly con- nected with the Farmers Union in. terests It was alleged that they warned a number of farmers to hold their cotton for the minimum price set by the union and that they also warned planters not to charge more than S4 rent for land which they had been renting for $5
