The vets have been insisting all
through the campaign that the local
option issue should not be discussed
and has no part in the campaign. But
the vets have been the first to cast
down the gauntlet and are lining up
solidly for candidates who will serve
their purpose from the legislative can
didates down TO the least paid office
in the county. Local option is an is
sue, you know that as we'll as any
one. The attempts which are being
made by the municipal unit league to
exempt cities from the general law
has its force and inception from the
liquor dealers of this state, working
through few willing tools who are
posing as reformers. Don't lose sight
of the issue in the state campaign.
Governor Brady needs your support in
this campaign and his stand on the
local option question can assure you
that any tampering with the law will
meet with his disapproval and veto Of
the bill when it comes up for his sig
nature.

cases needs of the county for better
government and law enforcement de-
mand the consideration of some of
the candidates. Beginning with the
legislative candidates The Times urges
the friends of the local option and di-
rect primary laws to unite their votes
upon P. w. Hess and Fred Nihart for
the reason that their stand on those
issues are clear. Don't let any man
tell you that the liquor question does
not enter into the campaign this year.

The office of prosecuting attorney
for this county is one of the most i'm

Editor Times:
am not sure that your repeated
suggestions that legislative candidates
make public expression of their stand
ing on certain issues apply to those
who have no opposition for the nomin-
alton, but in view of the general situa-
ton am willing now, as l am at all
times, to compare notes with the peo-
pie of this county and let them know
what l am thinking about concerning
matters of mutual interest
1t is somewhat difficult to say just
what will be the prominent issues of
the approaching campaign, but some
matters are being generally discussed,
and it is likely that we will be called
upon to make public announcement
concerning them.
/ do not deem it either wise or pro-
per at this time for the candidates to
attempt to formulate a platform upon
which the party will be expected 10
stand That would be interfering with
q vital principle of the primary law,
and would be assuming power we do
not possess.
In this connection attention is call
ed to the manner of legally framing a
platform of principles. The law pro-
vides two ways in which this may
be done. The new county committee,
to be chosen by the candidates after
their nomination, has the right to call
platform convention. If the COM
mittee fails to do this, then it is made
the duty of the several candidates,
acting together as a convention, to
construct their party platform. am
strongly in favor of the former plan,
for | believe that the people, and not
the candidates, should say what they
want. The voters should lay out the
work and the candidates should see
that 1t is performed according to di-
rections. To the extent therefore of
| my Influence | shall insist that the
| new committee call platform conven-
ton which will give the Republicans
or our county the opportunity of say
/ ing what they favor. / have so much
| falth In them and their interests and
mine are so closely blended that |
nave no hesitation whatever in saying
that l will stand upon such platform
as they construct, and give my best
eHorts toward carrying out whatever
pledges they may make. | did this
TWO years ago and am ready to under
take it again.
While do not know what position
my party may take" concerning GER
tain public matters, yet l hope they
VIII agree with me in, advocating the
following:
First: The creation, by constitu-
tlonal amendment, of a state land
board separate and distinct from the
! present elective officers, who shall
have control of the public lands and
waters of the state, to the end that
they may be conserved and developed
not only to the benefit of the individual
but to the good of the state at large
Our lands and waters constitute our
chlef assets, and they should be mn
der the management of a thorougbIv
competent board who can give to them
their entire time and attention.
Second; A public utilities commits

ana telephone companies, and other

years of the county's records will con-
vince any intelligent voter that there
is urgent need of a radical change in
the business methods. That reform
will not take place until new men take
up the work. Vote for a good, clean,
business administration for the county
and protect yourself from the extrava-
gance and waste in the conduct of the
offices of the county.

Judge Willard White, one of the
candidates for the office of the secre-
tary of state, has an enviable record in
this state for his high ideals in office
and in his performance of his duties as
Judge in the Ada county district. The
Times is certain that the judge, who is
an old soldier, is worthy of and en-
titled to the vote Of any voter in this
county.

The excessive mortality Of over
weights has been published by life In
surance statisticians, and the pheno-
menon must be considered in football
discussions. 1t Is now proved fact
that the men who are barred from
the game are the ones who live the
longest, and though mere length OF life
is no criterion of its usefulness, yet 1t
Is a fair assumption that the longest
lived are the most vigorous and, there
fore, the best brain workers.
The colleges are then spending the
most money on the students who will
give the least returns. Every now
and then some ingenious fellow pub
fishes statistics showing that students
able to take part in sports outlive
those too defective to take any part
at all, as though that needed numeri-
cal proof.
The new statistics show that the
healthy underweights excluded from
football are filter for survival in
America than the overweights of the
teams.-American Medicine.

INTELLIGENCE OF THE FOX.
Apparently Able to Distinguish Be-
tween Real and False Dangers.

Apparently Able to Distinguish Be-
tween Real and False Dangers.
The intelligence of the fox is often
shown by the way he refuses to be
headed when he has made up his
mind as to the safe course to take.
The West Somerset have an excel
lent fixture at Kilve. but it has one
drawback-the sea Is not far off, and
foxes naturally often make for the
cliffs, a secure refuge. A fox can be
easily headed at times, but that is
nearly always when to be seen would
betray him to his enemies, the hounds
and give them an advantages; but when
If he makes his point the advantage
Is on his side, then nothing will turn
him.
To return to the West Somerset at
Kilve; they found a fox, and the whip
perrin, seeing that the fox meant to go
to the cliffs If possible, started to head
him off. The ground was open, and
for half mile the whipperin and fox
were taking parallel lines, the fox
clearly meaning to slip by and find
refuge In the cliffs. The man turned
the fox away at last, but in short
time the hounds lost him, and | be-
lieve he got back after all.
Again the master ranged up some OF
the field to prevent another fox going
back into a certain covert. In vain
whips were ratified against saddle
flaps; the fox went right through the
watchers and made his point 1t is
thing l have often noticed both with
stag or fox. that the quarry seems to
distinguish between real and false
dangers.-London Globe.

tonished to make any demonstration.
Straight across the stage Standish

murmur, like ground swell. ran from
row to row Of seats, and found its
echo in the galleries. where hundreds
of the townspeople had packed them
selves to hear the nominating speeches
