ASTR0NG TICKET PUTINFlElD

The democratic state convention is
thing OF the past and its results will
be far.reachihg. a strong ticket was
put in the field and the platform
adopted is one that will be advocated
by men in accord with it and can he
supported by men anxious for good
government,
The fight previous and in the begin
ming Of the convention was between
the regular organization or the anti
mormon wing of the party and the
pro. mormon faction, aud as to
whether there were any grounds on
which compromise could be effected
and the party go before the people as
unit in the campaign. For the sake
OF this result the anti.mormon or Du.
boise wing offered concession after
concession but each time failed to
secure The desired union, the other
faction demanding a control OF the
convention, the state central commit
the, the naming of the stale officials
and the elimination of the mormon
plank i'll the platform; and from the
best sources and the plans made pub.
lie it was evident from the first that
1t was the intention of the pro mormon
wing to, bolt the convention and If
possible wreck the democratic party.
Delegates who attended this con
vention for the first time and who
were anxious for compromise and
declared there was no mormon tight
came away from it fully satisfied that
the Mormon issue was one which
must not be surreu dered and was the
paramount principle in the platform
q The boilers met in a separate hall,
put up state ticket and wrote plat
form, all in the space of three hours,
which demonstrates cut and driec
plans of these recalcltrants. In this
platform there is no mention of the
Norman question, neither is there ol
the liquor question, as the latter was
eliminated for the purpose of securing
the bolting of delegates from Koot
enai county.
The ticket put in the field by the
regular convention is as follows:
Frank Harris Congressman
w. c. Whitwel Governor
w. A Hunter Lt-Governor
J. J. Walling Secreatry of STATE
% w w. Brown Treasurer
Il Edwin McBee Attorney Genera

there is excitement; deeply stirred public
sentiment; no Hague tribunals to stop the saugh-
regular and lasting than any international
Why, if fifty thousand people were killed and
half a million manned in single year in any
community the world would be aghast while
disaster like the San Francisco earthquake and fire
would necessarily pale into nsignifcance And yet
when fifty-seven thousand fatalities distributed
evenly between ocean and ocean, they just as
dead and the families just badly off if
their bread winners had all been engulfed in the
cataclysm of moment.
War Of course is spectacular, while industrial
slaughter is accounted merely sordid Hence no
doubt, the indifference of public opinion in the
matter. And yet remarked smart railroad

In truth this complex modern life is beset with
host of artificial peris We build higher and faster
We burrowing under rivers and cities; finding
and more powerful explosives; using and
more chemicals that liberate noxious gases; making
applications of electricity, with all its subtle
dangers. Daily we invent peris to life and limb of
which fathers never dreamed.
But to get closer this seamy side of national
prosperity let me divide the casualties among the
following: Cd Railroads; (2) Mines and quarries;
60 Factories and workshops; (4) Building and con-
struction: (5) Agricultural and numbering. These
cover perhaps thirty million wage earners.
Railroads Terrible Harvest
Nov, the railroad figures perhaps the most
complete and trustworthy of all, thanks to
the work of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
1t is shown that rairoading and travelling on the
railroad is than twice as dangerous as it
fifteen years ago. And if the present rate of
increase continues during the next five years there
will be sixty thousand slaughtered and six hundred
and twenty-five thousand injured. Here, then, is

Our farmers in 1906 got seven thousand mil
lions worth out of their broad acres: our i'm
ports total one thousand three hundred mil
lions, while the exports exceed seven hundred mil
lions The total wealth of the country is computed at
hundred and six thousand millions. and it climbs
in immense leaps and bounds every year. The
strange thing is few people realize that it has a
dark and sinister side; that this industrial Jugger
naut, this triumphant lord Of the world, must be
fed with human lives and limbs in which
it is nothing short of criminal to ignore.
Peace" we are told hath her victories no less
