HEPBURN RETURNED
TO The SENATE
After a Deadlock Lasting all day and
Night Republicans Unite Solid
for Hepburn.

Boise, Jan. IA. A fter night of
seething agitation and the turmoil
of many caucuses which availed
naught to the opposition, Senator
Weldon B. Hepburn was yesterday
returned to his seat in the upper
house of congress by unanimous
vote of the Republican members of
the Idaho Legislature. When the roll
of names was called in the JOINT ses-
sion of the senate and assembly, not
man swerved from the line, al
though both lawmakers and spectators
held tIeir breaths in expectation of
bolt from the ranks. If there was
ground for this anticipation, not one
dared to publically justify it, and,
when the result was announced, it
showed solid party majority for
Hepburn. The democrats, however,
sprang almost complete surprise by
presenting an impregnable front for
J. H. McClear, who until yesterday
had not been seriously regarded as a
candidate for the toga. Monday the
minority was split into two factions,
one supporting Judge Stockslager and
the other Judge Wood, but yester-
day, just before the senatorial vote
was taken, an agreement was reached
among them after a spirited confer
ence.
At IL :55 o'clock the doorkeeper of
the house of representatives announced
that the senate was outside and de-
sired admittance. This was at once
granted and the senators filed in, led
by Lieutenant Governor Sweetser.
A roll of the senate was called and
all members were found present.
Similar procedure was undergone with
the assembly with the same result.
A roll call of the joint house was
then made, full attendance being
recorded. Secretary Shaw of the SEN
ate read the journal of the day be-
fore bearing upon the nominations
made for United States senator. Sec
reary Wallis recounted in like man.
ner the proceedings in the house.
Announcement was then made by
Speaker Clagstone that as no final
vote had been taken Monday, and 8
mere canvas could not be made. 9
new vote was in order, and that wher
the joint roll was read the Legislators
would signify their choice.
The first ballot was cast by Adams
of Lincoln for Hepburn. Their
more followed for the senior senator
without irregularity, and then Ben
ham of Owyhee named McClear. Ap-
plaus greeted the first mention OF
Heyburn's name. and was renewed
at frequent intervals throughout the
balloting. The result was declared
to be: Hepburn, rs; McClear, 10.
Applause and cheers from the gallery
continued for several moments after
the announcement was made BY
Speaker Clagstone that Hepburn hac
been reelected. At IL 80 the join
session was adjourned, its purpose be-
ing fulfilled.

PLEADS FOR MAN
WHO BEAT HER

Six months in the county Jail
and a stern lecturing on his con-
duct was the punishment dealt out
to Ed Caldwell, colored, yesterday
afternoon by Judge Mann, when
arraigned for beating Mrs. Sarah
Wilson, his aged aunt. The old
woman pleaded in his behalf with
the court, declaring Caldwell was
her only means of support, and
that he would not have struck her
had he been sober.
She got little satisfaction, how
ever, though she declared she was
in need Of Caldwells assistance in
paying the monthly rent Of SIS on
their place on Second avenue. Cald-
well signed an order turning over
SIT he had with him when arrest
ed to the old woman.
The negro was arrested on COM
plant of neighbors. who declared
he knocked Mrs. Wilson down
three times in succession. She
was bleeding at the mouth and
nose when the officers arrived. In
spite of this, she told the judge
that he pushed her over and be-
cause of her crippled condition,
was unable to rise. Some provision
may be made alter to let Caldwell
out on his good behavior, that he
may care for his enfeebled aunt.

ORIGIN OF THE
RECALL
HISTORY RECORDS THE FACT
THAT TITS ESSENTIALLY AN
"A m e r c AN INSTITUTION,
tOLDER THAN OUR CONSTR
TUITION.

sIn the recent consideration in
Spokane Of the amendment to the
city charter providing for the re-
call of elective officials, there were
those who commended that the re-
call was socialistic and antagonis-
tic to a representative form of gov
eminent
A recent investigation among
the records of the meetings of the
constitutional convention has dis
closed the fact that the recall is of
essentially American origin and is
older than our constitution itself.
A delegate to the convention from
Maryland, Luther Martin, pointed
to it's existence in his state at that
time and urged some such restric-
ton as to congressional represen-
tatives and United States senators.
Time has since shown that Dele
gate Martin had deeper insight
into the future than most of his
fellows.
In one of his debates, Martin
said:
"Mr. Speaker, in our state it is
provided by it's constitution that
the representatives in congress
shall be chosen annually, shall be
paid by the state, and shall be sub
ject to recall even within the year;
SO cautiously has our constitution
guarded against an abuse Of the
trust reposed in our representa-
tives in the federal government;
whereas, by the third and sixth
sections of the first article of this
new system, the senators are to
be chosen for six years instead of
being. chosen annually; instead of
being paid by their states who send
them, they, in conjunction with
the other branch, are to pay them
SELVES out of the treasury of the
uhi@d States, and are not liable
I'd De recalled during the period
for which they are chosen.
THUS, sir, for six years the SEN
at0fS are rendered totally and alb
solufkly Independent Of their
states, of whom they ought to be
the representatives, without any
bond or tie between them. During
that time they may join in meas
ures ruinous and destructive to
their states, even such as should
totally annihilate their state gov
ernments, and their states cannot
recall them, nor exercise any con-
troll over them"

been expected from that pale eye
and receding chin-he temporized.
He said to himself, Before that
horrible trial comes on, l shall be
the house of Wardlaw, and able to
draw check for thousands. I'll
buy off Adams at any price, and
hush up the whole matter
So he hoped, and hoped. But the
accountant was slow, the public
prosecutor unusually quick, and, to
young Wardlaw's agony, the part
nership deed was not ready when
an imploring letter was put into
his hands, urging him, by all that
men hold sacred. to attend at the
court as the prisoners witness.
