The above questions were fired at
US yesterday morning by one of the
county's most prominent planters.
Here is what We told him:
"Blease and Featherstone were the
only two men in the race for governor
that We were personally acquainted
with and We would not vote for either
Of them in the first race. We are ac-
ouainted with Mcleod to the extent OF
his being lieutenant governor for the
past two years, and after hearing his
speech and having talk with him,
decided he was the best man running
and voted for him in his race a lew
days ago. Now, we have never voted
for Featherstone or Blease, although
We have had the chance two or three
times, and to show you that I am not

close to some of his 6ispensary friends.
yet no man has ever tried to implicate
him in any dispensary deal. Even At
torney General Lyon has never even
intimated that Blease was mixed up in
the dispensary muddle. The people OF
Blease's city and county seem to think
he is a safe man by electing him to
every office he has ever asked for, in
Guiding the legislature, State senate
and mayor. What do the people Of
Featherstone's city and county think
of him? He was defeated for the State
senate, legislature and for mayor.
Every office he has ever run for he
was defeated. Blease's enemies say
Featherstone is a good business man
and a great lawyer. If he is connect
ed with any business enterprises or
has accumulated any property, we
have never heard of it. The only Of
fee we have ever heard Of him getting
was the appointment Of special judge
on two or three different occasions,
and this appointment was made by
Gov. Ansel and was probably through
sympathy because Ansel had beaten
him for governor We believe in CIV
ing every decent man chance and
that Blease IS decent man is evidence
by the fact that his county has re-
peatedly honored him and today he
stands higher at home than at any
period in his life If Featherstone is
elected governor and We don't believe
be will be, it will not be on account
OF his fitness for the office or because
the people of the State believe him to
be overloaded with brains, but because
OF the SO-CALLED dement's OF Blease.

river from Burlington gave the party
an excellent idea of the expanse of
the lake that will be formed when the
dam is built and of the land along the
river that will be overlooked There
was much to interest the gentlemen
in this trip, and they were also keen
in their scrutiny of what is being
done by the company across the

BALL PLAYER TO
STUDY MEDICINE
Johnny erogan, Who Could Cover Sec
ond With Them All, to Study
for Profession.

Johnny Grogan, who could play sec
ond base all around anybody in the
Central association at the present
| time or before, will study medicine
at the University Of Chicago. The fol
lowing from the Seattle Times tells of
Grogan's plans:
John S. Grogan, coach of the ath-
letic teams of the University of Idaho
for the past year, has resigned He
will enter the University of Chicago
next September and take up the study
Iof medicine. Coach Grogan's resigna-
ton came as surprise to the people
connected with the university and was
entirely voluntary on his part.
MIR. Grogan graduated from Knox
college in 1904 and has since been
coaching athletic teams. He coached
at the Fargo college, North Dakota,
for four years. During these four
years his team lost but one football
game. During the season of 1908, the
season just previous to his coming to
Idaho, his team defeated every team
| in that section of the country and the
schedule called for games against such
teams as the North Dakota A. c..
which was defeated by a score of "a
to 6. This team was formerly coached
by Dobie, who is at present coach at
/ the University of Washington.

Geier Strenathens un.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, June 30.-For
the dissatisfied ones who nave been
asking why Manager Geier doesn't
strengthen his team, here's the an
swer. Three new men will probably
appear in this afternoons game. Har-
ris, who is a find of Phil's and a
stranger to the Central Association,
will cover third in place of Hippert.
Mcneil, an infielder who has been
playing with ST. Joe and whom Geier
has seen play, is the second new man,
and Curtin. an outfielder of the Chi
cago city league is the third. Phil
certainly strengthened the Pathfind-
ers when he got Clarke, Grogan and
Miller and there is every reason to
believe that these three new players
are Just as good. 1t is very probable
that all three will play today, at any
rate Harris is sure to.
