CLINT STAYED AWAY.
Clint Randall pulled a clean shirt out OF
his war sack last Tuesday evening and
was about to pull his picket pin and
stampede for the dance when he heard a
feminine voice say:-'You fust single
foot into the house and bed down." Clint
was busy telling the boys next morning
that he didn't care for dances as he was
getting too many wrinkles on his horns
to frsk around with the yearlngs and
that he would rather walk from here to
Bean Creek to see a lady with a wooden
leg dressed up in a hobble skirt than to
walk the length of stake rope to
dance.-Schafer IN. ID Record

a three years voyage. on which he kept
the pledge in spite of longing and TENN
tation. and returned to resign only to and
that his name had been blackballed orig
inally.

after the mere success of the man,
but the cause. Until the present
have not been prepared to judge be-
tween them and to side with the one
whose chances, in my opinion, are
the most farovabie to success.
Even now l may be mistaken, but
the matter will not be postponed long
er. l have heard from our workers
generally throughout the state, and to
my mind the time has come for de-
cision.
In the second place l wanted to
wait until we had exhausted all the
efforts of which we are capable to
prevail upon one of these candidates
to retire from the field in the interest
of the other, to get one or the other
of them to sacrifice his ambition for
the good cause; or, if possible, to get
both of them to withdraw in favor of
some one else upon whom we could
concentrate the bulk of our forces.
But both these alternatives have
failed so far, and the two candidates
are still in the field with their rela-
ton becoming more intense and acute.
Therefore there is nothing left for me
to do but to choose between them and
make the most of it. And since
great many people have expressed
their wish for me to make my choice
known, why, if it is any service or
qualification to them, l will proceed
to do it.
In doing so l have not taken the
Anti-Saloon League into my conf
dence. That is not a partisan organi-
cation, and it has no specific place in
partisan, much less factional politics.
1t operates upon broader plane.
Neither do I, in making this an
pose as dictator to my
fellow-workers. l am only one man,
