and in making this answer they did
not ask for the names of the commit

would be able to curtail expenses or
TO show that these institutions were
not all that they ought 20 be or that
they could be operated and maintain
ed at less expense. A challenge was
issued To show wherein the Repub-
hcan administrations had not been
faithful stewards. The answer 10
these claims is found in the report
of legislative investigating commit.
tee appointed at the 1907 legislature
whose report was submitted TO the
last legislature. II was a Republican
committee and it reported to a Repub-

The findings OF the committee from
which the facts and figures used here
are to be quoted are in many cases
startling and show how the money
paid by the taxpayer has gone to
waste.
Commenting upon the handling OF
money for the various state institu-
tions this special legislative investi.
eating Committee in its report said
There is a state treasurer and TWEEN
ty-three governing the States institu-
ionss and the moneys appropriated
for their support are drawn fsom the
state Treasury and placed r. the
hands Of these twenty-three treasur.
.ers. The aggregate average bank bal
ance for the year 1906 and OF in the
hands of these twenty-three treasur-
ersl was S169.446.1G and the amount
on which interest was paid AT the
rate of two per cent, at the time the
committee made its examination was
$685., leaving s129,59115 as an aver
age bank deposit for these two years
ON which no interest WIS paid. Tho
state has been able TO realize three
per cent on her bank balances, and
therefore. growing out of the system
prevailing. has been losing this rate
upon 129,491lG, amounting Annually
to $3SS4.75."

delegates Of Mercer county, through

the committee of so-called insurgents
feel that they have a right TO insist
upon and demand answers TO each
and all of them inasmuch as Mr.
Hawley has shown a willingness. by
the publication of his card in the
Daily Telegraph a few days ago, TO
deny charges made by the so-called
insurgents in the article appearing
in the Bluefield Evening Leader on
the 31st of October. If Mr.. Hawley
is willing to deny or answer some OF
the charges against him, it looks as
If he ought to make full disclosures
and answer all questions propounded
1t does not seem that he is dealing
fairly with the people to deny one
charge and then to allow many others
to go unanswered. AS Mr.. Hawley is
candidate for public Office he ought
TO take pleasure in answering any
questions propounded to him which
in any way bear upon his official du.
ties and which he may be called upon
to consider if elected.
We would also be glad If Mr. Haw.

No elector can cast a ballot

she has registered. The fact
that you registered in your
precinct two years ago, don't
count-you must register
again this year.
If you register before the
primary, you will not have to
register again for the Novem-

This matter of registration
: should be attended to at once
by the people. Don't wait fol

While thousands of repub-
licans throughout Idaho have
great respect for Exon
gresham French and do not
approve of the methods that
were used to bring about his
defeat for denomination two
years ago. they do not feel
like turning down Congress
man Hamer this year, in view
of the fact the latter has
made an exceptionally good
record during his first term
in congress. Had Mr.. Hamer
failed to have "made good"
at Washington, there is little
doubt but what the republi-
cans of Idaho would reward
Mr.. French this year by
again making him their can
didate for congress. However,
we believe that under the cir
cumstances Mr.. Hamer is
deserving of and will be given
"a denomination. We also
believe that the republican
party of Idaho will, at some
future time again reward
Burton L. French for his
faithful services in the past.

MAKE A CLEAN FIGHT.

The first direct primary
campaign in the history of
Idaho is now on in real earn
est-and during the next three
weeks the qualifications of the
various candidates to fill the
offices they are seeking will
be the principal topic of con
versation on the streets, in
the homes or wherever men
happen to congregate. Many
of the candidates will also go
among the people seeking
votes. In making their prim-
airy campaign the Examiner
trusts that each candidate in
Bear Lake County will make
a clean, manly fight in his
own behalf. Don't try to ad-
vance your candidacy by cir
culating false reports or in
any other way running down
your opponents. Nothing has
ever been gained in a cam
paign by resorting to dirty
and undetermined methods.
Under the direct primary
every qualified voter has the
opportunity of expressing his
or her choice of candidates
and it is certainly the duty OF
every voter to go to the polls
on August 30 and express that
choice. If a large per cent O
the people refrain from voting
at the primary the real intent
and purpose of the law will be
defeated.
In justice to all candidate,
we will state that during thu
primary campaign the Exam
liner will not favor the nomin
alton Of any particular can
didate. While we feel tina
some may be better qualified
for the Office they are seeking
than others on the ticket, W,
have naught but the kindlies
feeling for each candidate
and as a friend for their owl
good and for the good of tn
party we again beseech eacI
of them to make a clean, oper
fight for the nomination. Yo
will make friends by doing il
