NEW METHODIST CHURCH
Modern building Being Erected in
Eastern Part of City.

Work on the new NJ. f. church is
progressing very rapidly and 1t is
to be hoped viii be sufficiently fin
ished to permit services being held
there in the very near future.
The church is modern in every re-
spect and gives the appearance Of
the bungaloo architecture. The
main auditorium will be large enough
tn seat about 400 people comfortably
and the basement will be used for
class rooms, socials and bazaars.
The building is a credit to the en-
ergy Of Rev. Crabtree who has work
ed hard and faithful for the new
church. He is popular with his con-
gregation and is adding TO the church
roll I'm most surprising manner.
When he came here about 1s months
ago the Methodist church had a small
congregation and was struggling for
an existence, and today it is one OF
the strongest churches of the city
in point Of membership and the new
building is testimonial of its
financial growth and strength. The
church will be ready for occupancy
about the middle of November.

All is activity at the capital city
as the day of election approaches.
The campaign has been a hot one
thus far ana the people have taken
an active interest in the issues At
republican headquarters, the feel
ing is that the entire republican
ticket will be reelected with much
larger majority than ever before m
the history of the state This sem
timent has been crystallized by the
fact that from every corner of the
state reports have been received to
the effect that Governor Brady will
be continued in Office and with him
will the rest of the ticket be elected
Even in localities where the dem
ocrats have claimed as their strong
holds, representative men visitors in
the capital city, report to be very
strong for the present administration
They claim that Governor Brady mas
made an excellent executive; has full
filled every party pledge and has at
all times worked in the interests of
the people in the state His attitude
on matters which pertain to the gem
eral welfare of the people of the north
as well as the south, has at all times
been one of the great personal in-
terest. these men say and in the fol-
lowing terse statements of these men.
they all predict success for the party
at the general election.
F. NJ Snyder. cashier of the Hey
burn state bank at Hepburn, said
this week: Lincoln County will he
solid for Brady and the rest of the
ticket. We are considered a little
reactionary in our section, but we
always line up when it comes to cleo
tion time. Our county has always roll
ed up big republican majorities and
this year it will be no exctpetion to
the rule.
That Fremont county will be safe
for the present incumbent, is the
opinion of J. o. Webster of Grant
who was in the city early in the week
1--WE will not leave a stone unturned
in our county to elect the entire
ticket" said Mr. Webster. "The is

ADMINISTRATION As MAYOR or
BOISE SHOULD BE EN-
planned
In His Campaign Why Does lie Never
Refer To His Term in Office as
Mayor of Boise?-Some Facts Com
cerning His Rotten Administration.

Boise, Idaho, October 25.-The
prevailing sentiment at the capital
city is that Governor Brady is daily
increasing his normal lead over his
democratic opponent. Attacks on
the republican administration, which
have been successfully refuted by fig
ures produced by the republican or
ganization have also resulted in the
airing of incidents of the Mayor Haw-
ley city administration, which threw
new light on the business capacity
of the democratic aspirant.
Friends of good government here
resent the attacks Of the democratic
organization as uncalled for and un-
true and state that they will now pro-
ceed to unveil the real Hawley as
he served the people when he was
mayor of Boise.
Hawley was elected mayor of
Boise, they say, pledged to an econ
omical and business lige administre-
tion, being the candidate of the dem
ocratic party and also of the labor
unions, who claim they were later
betrayed by him, when he had been
retained as their attorney to rihrdl
retained as their attorney. He was
also endorsed by the civic league af-
ter pledging himself to rid the city
of gambling and tin horns, to the
restriction of immoral women ami
to cleaning out of the police force.
The members of the latter organ
ization realized before he was well
installed as mayor that he had also
betrayed them, and they are swear
ing vengeance upon him now. No re-
strictions whatever we're placed upon
women of i'll repute. the police force
remained unchanged. gambling WAS
wide open, and he left the mayors
chair with a deficit of over 100000.
mot only has he betrayed our faith
in him." stated one Of his then sup
porters, "but the business methods
of that administration we're intoler-
able" Results from an investigation
which it is understood has been made
of the city records are to the effect
that Mayor Hawley personally drew
and spent over s37.5OO out OF what
was called a contingent fund. the last
warrant at the close Of his admin
istration Of $1,000 being cancelled
and two other warrants being drawn

in some cases not being signed at all,
and in some cases signed by other

After Hawley had received the
last 1920 warrant he reported to
the finance committee Of the coun-
ell that in Rpril of 1905 there was
a balance Of s2O2.37 in the contin-
gent fund which however. apparent
