Both Sides are Throughly Organ
lied for Fight.
| PROMISES TO Be FAIR FIGHT
Much Change of Sentiment-But
One Dry Newspaper.

The local option campaign opened
in dead earnest this week and both
sides have perfected their organiza-
tions and are now busy in their at
tempt to convert the voters to their
particular way of thinking The
dry forces have formed an organiza-
ton to be known as the DRY Cam
paign Committee and have secured
w. B. Hickey, an attorney of Boise,
to conduct their campaign. Mr..
Rickey, it is said, has had considerable
experience having been in the fight in
Ohio previous to coming to Idaho.
1t is said $500 has been raised locally
and this with the large amount which
will come from the Anti-Saloon league
and kindred outside organizations
will give them an immense fund to
use in their attempt to keep Idaho
county in the present condition. How
ever, there is every indication that
they will not have the support ex-
tended two years ago as many who
voted dry then have since changed
their views on the question. Take
for instance the conversion which has
been going on among the newspapers
Of Idaho county. During the first
local option campaign practically
every paper in Idaho county, with the
exception of the Free Press, espoused
the dry cause and did SO with vim and
yigor.
As an example of the great change
IN the press Of the county, we have
before us clipping taken from the
columns of an issue during the CAM
paign of 1909 Of one the most
radical of these papers in which the
Free Press is referred to as the "liquor
organ and this is but one of the
milder applications made at that time
by the opposition to this paper for
holding views contrary to those held
by them. When the matter of
holding another election came up
several weeks back the paper in mind
began to show signs of conversion to

Cottonwood will surely favor regulat-
ed saloons, the Elk City paper is said
to be Of the same opinion on this
question as the Cottonwood man and
even the Kooskia Mountaineer showed
signs last week.
Those who favor regulated places
to boot-legging and dives have or
ganized the Idaho County Reform
League and are preparing for an nc
tive campaign. The fight should be
clean one and SO far as this paper
is concerned will be. There can be
an honest difference of opinion and the
man who differs with you, no matter
which side of the question you are on
is entitled to his ideas as long as he is
honest in his belief.

POL.I'S

Baseball week at Poli's continues to draw appreciative crowds and most of the local baseball clubs have already been among those present, or will be before the week is out Friday night will be Clover Club night and this popular club always turns out in large numbers and with plenty of en- thusiasm. The bill this week, includ- ing as it does the stereoptican slides showing the leading players and les of pictures showing Philadelphia and Chicago playing for the worlds championship, just seems to hit the large Poli patronage just right and the most talked of act on the bill for many months is the very artistic pos ing act of Paul seldoms Poems in Marble wonderful conception and beautiful to look upon. The models are four in number and include Mile. Erna Claron, the beautifully formed girl who was the idol of the Berlin studios and the most sought for model in all Germany, due to her perfectly proportioned figure. Homer Miles and company in the bit of life in New York city ''On a Side Street, prove a most enjoyable sketch and Willette Whitaker, in southern songs and harp playing IS also big hit. Of the other acts the most notable applause goes to Kenney, Nobody and P1att in their singing and comedy act and Nell lie Brewster and the Amsterdam Quartet in a classy singing number.
 With the Lenten season passed Man. ager Poli will start next week to pro- vide for the remainder of the season, the greatest acts procurable in vaude- vile. A trio of headliners on next weeks bill will be Nellie Nichols, Six Kirksmith Sisters and Paul Spadoni.

 By United States Senator Kenyon. )
 All my life I, have turned to the teachings of Abraham Lincoln for in spiratfon, and I shall continue to do so, and as Senator from Iowa shall work for the greatest good a govern ment can do for the elevation of man. I shall strive to lift from the shoul- ders of humanity all unnatural bur- dens that good legislation can remove. So shall favor in a general way the income tax laws, workingmen's com pensation acts, and shall urge a strong corporate practice act and such other measures along these lines as will benefit the people. I am for human rights as we'll as property rights, and place human rights first.
 We believe, as g. people, in the con- servation of natural resources. and we believe, I take it, equally in the conservation of national ideals. The people view with alarm a scheme of fraud and corruption by which man may have been elected to the United State Senate from a neighboring State and propose to unite with others in am effort to probe to the bottom this election of a United States Sen ator. We have had a loss in popu- lation in Iowa, but we have never lost our high ideals, and thank God that it never needs a Grand Jury or a committee Of Congress to investigate the election of a United States Sena tor. I may say here that, while my friends have had long struggle in this contest resulting in my election, I take my seat in the Senate without a pladge or a promise.
 I want to make this pledge to the people of Iowa and of the country, and it is the only pledge of any kind that I have made in this campaign, and that is to give to the people the best service which I am able with all the energy I possess, and shall rep resent Iowa in the Senate regardless of any political faction.
