! law, and 1t was understood that sew
eral members of the house had agreed
to accept any amendment which
should be sent from the senate. SEN
ator Shawhan, of Canyon, stood like
rock against any amendment, stat
ing that the amendments which were
proposed would not mean a direct pri-
mary law as he understood the plat
form of his party had declared for,
and held in line two other Republi-
can senators besides himself, who,
with the Democrats, would make a
majority in the senate. When the en-
thusiastic agitators of the direct pri-
mary law are anxious to find their
friends, they must not overlook Sen
ator Shawhan, of Canyon county.
He assisted in carrying through the
senate every party pledge, and, in adj
dition to that, he saw that the bills
benefitting the people of Canyon coun-
ty were carried also through. Among
the bills of particular interest were
the appropriation for the experiment
al farm, appropriation to the home
stead irrigation district, Senate Bill
No. 1872 in reference to laterals, two
bills with reference to Emmettsville
Independent School district, Senate
Bill No. ITO, House Bill No. 81, and
other measures too numerous to men,
tion. The people of this county are
certainly entitled to be proud of Sen
ator Shawhan, and to be congratulate
ed upon having sent him to the SEN
ate.
When 1t came to the enabling act
OF annexing Nampa and the surround
ing territory to Ada county, Senator
Shawhan manfully took his stand in
opposition thereto, stating that he had
been elected to represent the people
of the whole of Canyon county, and
not a small portion thereof to the
detriment of the balance.
Senator Shawhan is a man of hon
esty. raight-forwardness, and integ-
rity, and his work In the tenth session
entities him to the trust and conf
dence of the people of the state.

AN APPRECIATION
OF OUR SENATOR
Senator Shawhan Makes Good.

No county in the state is entitled to
be more proud of its senator than is
this county of Senator Shawhan. When
he made his pledges to the people last
fall, it was then considered, by a large
majority, that he was a man of his
word, and would not require the peo-
pie to keep a tab on him to see
whether or not he fulfilled his pledges.
Those citizens who have been in touch
with the workings of the tenth legis-
lature are now firmly convinced that
this confidence was not misplaced.
His stand on the local option ques-
ton cannot be doubted. He fought
for House Bill No. so, and did every
thing he could to have it enacted into
law, but, when he was out-numbered,
he worked carefully and diligently
in the construction Of Senate Bill No.
81, and, through his efforts, this bill
was amended so as to make 1t as good
a law as it is today. Those who have
been in touch observed that he was
absolutely honest in his purpose, and
did everything he could to give the
people of this state an effective local
option law.
It was Senator Shawhan who stood
so CALAMITY by the direct primary law
as 1t came from the house. The ma
jorlty OF the Republican senator's had
agreed upon literally amending the

Cincinnati, Dec. 2.--Another chapter
In the Warmer case was given to the
public In parcel of letters that will
be used at the trial of Mrs. Jeanette
Ford on the charge of receiving stolen
money from the defaulting treasurer
OF the Big Four railroad.
The letters, which were written to
Edward Cook Of Chicago by War
riner extend back over number of
years and seem to indicate that Mrs.
Ford caused many hours of mental
distress and worry for Warmer as well
as for Cook. In his epistles Warmer
details his trials in seeking to curb
the woman's exhorbitant demands, her
threats to tell all unless he used his
influence with Cook to induce him to
abandon his wife, and his desperate
efforts to keep her from creating
scenes In hotels and elsewhere and
precipitating public scandal that
would ruin them all
AS against the letters held by the
prosecutor, Mrs F'ord's attorneys to-
day showed a few letters that were
written to the woman In the case.

pressions Of a mad infatuation for
