HAwLEY's

We do not know how the demo-
Gratis can hope to secure the rot
Of a single anti-liquor nan Tor j.
Fl. Hawley for governor. Mr.. Haw-
ley has a record that makes II
impossible for any temperance man
to trust him. He has never been in
sympathy with the temperance move
ment, and the people will not now
trust him as an exponent OF this
movement.
It has been now little o than
q year since a local option election
was held in Ada county. where NJ
Hawley makes his home. The II
nor men brought Mayor Rose, of
Milwaukee, to Boise to deliver al
address in opposition to local c
ton. Mr.. Hawley presided at that
meeting. Gathered in the auditor
ium were practically all of the
liquor men OF the city of Boise and
many of their sympathizers. 1t was
a large meeting and Mr.. Hwaley
placed himself on record, in his al
dress of introduction. as being first,
last and all the time opposed to
local option. He denounced the
local option law as al abomination
the worst that was ever proposed
by an Idaho legislature. His re
marks were received with wild app
plause by the "wet' audience K
which he was speaking. The posi-
tion that he assumed then was nor
NAL. Nobody was surprised. be-
he stood on the question.
Now, however. this same James
II. Hawley Is running for governor
on a platform which pledges the
democratic party to enforce the local
option law!
II Mr.. Hawley were elected, he
would enforce hat law Just about
the same way that he enforced the
anti-gambling law while he was
mayor Of Boise. He accepted the
nomination for mayor on the citizen
ticket in Boise and pledged himselef
to suppress the gambling evil. Those
who know OF his administration
know that the gambling evil continu

mayor. That raised such a storm
that Mayor Hawley was Obliged {

had an idea that he could violate
that promise without creating a

CAMPAIGN WITHOUT PARALLEL.
Temperance Question Breaking Tn
Former Party Allignments.

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 10, 1910.
This state campaign is destined
to prove without parallel in the
pontical history OF Idaho. Political
lines will not only be less closely
drawn than they ever were in the
pas. but the extent to which they
VIII tc ignored this year will be
greater than the imagination of the
ordinary mind ~conceives.
Men who have stood high in the
councils of the Democratic party are
taking a bold stand on the temper-
ance question, and are announcing
that they are free from the manacle
OF political prejudice. and propose
10 vote according to the dictates of
their conscience. The position of
the Democratic party relative to the
temperance question means alb
solutely nothing to temperance peo-
rle as 1t marks no advance for tenn
perance development. For that
matter. it would mean little to them
If a stronger plank had been inser-
ted by the Democrats with Mr.. Haw-
ley as their candidate for Mr..

A proposition to perfect or improve

IS one which interests not only every
