FOR STATEWIDE PRO-
HIRITION
Resolution Introduced This
Morning in House by Can
yon County Member.

A resolution providing for the
constitutional amendment submit
ting the question of statewide pro-
hlbition to the people of Idaho was
introduced in the house of represen-
tatlVes this morning by Henry c.
Bradley, member for Canyon county
This action was decided upon at a
meeting of the steering commit ee
OF the senate and house last night
That there is every indication the
resolution will pass as a Republican
measure, thus fulfilling the pledges
OF that party to the people as made
last fall during the campaign and
later when the platfolm was adopted
is evident from the attitude taken
by party leaders both in the house
and senate. Advocates of the mea-
sure declare they have the votes al
ready counted and that the required
tWo-thlrds has been secured, thus
assuring its passage. This support
comes from the minority as well as
the majority.
The resolution was prepared by
Representative Bradley of tn S coun-
ty sometime ago and since then il
has been carefully inspected and
whatever charges necessary were
nade. The measure was later placed
In the hanCs Of prominent patty
leaders and returned to Representa-
tive Bradley who intr roduced the les
'luticn in the house.
More apprehension is fe't over
the situation in the senate than in
house. Those opposed to the resoIu.
lion declare that they can muster
nore than two-thirds of the house
% vote against it. Little stock, how
ever, is taken in this claim. From
in the house it is learned
hat the prospects for the passage
II the measure could hardly look

ure of a big homecoming recently
There was a time when the old
chunck of metal and it's hardwood
supports were 70 such inspirers of
patriotism as now; in fact, it was
just the opposite. The story is not
related in the histories, but it is
clear in the mind of every old resi-
denter. Except New York city,
Port Wash ngtcn was the only p ace
n the country that res sted the draf
for troops issued by President Lin
colin. A mob was organized here
to resist the law. Word came that
the government had sent a water
force to capture the city. Out came
the cannon, the muzzle was pointed
towards Lake Michigan, and hun
dreds of men and boys brought pow
der, nails, slugs, scraps of iron and
brass and the finest variety of junk
ever assembled. Then the mob
waited for the transport But the
troops disembarked five miles south
If the city, made a Getour and
marched into the city from the west
and were on the mob before they
could think. The cannon was then
fired as a sign of cap.tufat on.
