All Of the Parties Of the State
Find Themselves In D Bad
Mix-Up This Year.
POLITICS ARE TANGLED
Ex-Governor James H. Brady Sells
Power Plant For $1,000, 900 Idaho
Development Congress Holds I'm
portant Session and Wants $780,
10000 for Exposition Purposes.

A feature Of the present political
campaign that attracts interest and
more or less comment Is that all
political parties are badly confused
and mixed. each within ltcclf. The
Republican state central committee
and Senator Borah have di6erent
ideas as to how the campaign shall
be conducted. The committee takes
the position that every candidate
on the ticket should make his cam
paign In the interests OF the entire
ticket. Senator Borah has taken
another position. In bic speeches
he simply states his views ON the
issues before the people and points
to his record, In the United States
senate. Upon those Views and that
record he asks the people Of Ida
no to re-elect him to the senate.
It is noticeable that In his speeches
he has 80 far delivered little or no
reference has been made to the
party, its platform, or its candle
dates. Upon his return to- Idaho
the senator stated that he would
make such campaign, plainly
stating that his addresses would un-
questionably meet with the disap-
proval of those conducting the ma
tional campaign. However, he has
given no intimation that it would
be impossible. for him to support
the state ticket. sgss
Readers Of the Tribune will note
that Governor James H. Hawley In
his campaign is doing very much
the same. A goodly sized chasm
exists In the Democratic party. Mr..
Hawley feels that he must get q
large Republican vote In order to

in fact. ever since the Democratic

JUST ESCAPED
FEARFUL DEATH

Grand Forks, N. D., June 26.-Louis
Hill, a farmer living about ten miles
put OF Lakota, was hit by a Great
Northern train and only good luck
saved Hill from an untimely death.
The victim Of the accident was stand
ing on the platform in an intoxicated
condition and while the train was
pulling in stood too near the rails.
The cylinder head of the engine
struck him knocking him sideways
and downward and at the same time
the journal caught him by the coat
and ripped both his coat and vest
open, tearing off several buttons.
Luckily the engineer had the engine
going slowly and he stopped within
four feet, and barely ayerted dragging
Hill under the engine. He was picked
up in a stupor and taken to the city
hall where he IA given medical at
tendance and given a chance to be-
come sober.
Late in the afternoon he was allow
ed to go on his way rejoicing that
the accident was no worse. Officer
Herrick, who was at the depot at the
time was having troubles of his own
when the accident happened. A num-
Der of foreign laborers had come in on
the Duluth train and were in a big
wrangle as to who should go out on
No. 5 and who should not. Herrick
was pacifying the irate Italians and
Finlanders and consequently could not
get to Hill in time to prevent the ac-
cident.

TOOK own LIFE

Minot, N. D., June 26.-Because she
believed that her lover had withdrawn
his affections, Annie Cleveland, a
pretty ~17-year-old girl took her life
with carbolic acid in her room at
the corner of Fourth and Reishus
streets. \
Miss Cleveland and a young man
attended a dance at Sawyer Satur-
day night. While there her escort did
not pay as much attention to her as
she thought proper. He danced and
made love to other girls while AM
ME looked On. She resented this ac-
ton and a quarrel ensued. She was
very respondent for some time ana
kept to her room. Mrs. GredahI heard
loud shrieks coming from her apart
was discovered with a bottle in her
hand. She threw it from her after
having drank about half of it's con-
tents. 1t was carbolic acid. Physi-
clans were Immediately called. and in
the meantime milk was given her as
an antidote. The poison had got in
it's work, however. and shortly after
the doctors arrived she expired.
Miss Cleveland's parents went to
Canada about a week ago, but the
young girl stayed behind. She told
several people that she was to be
married soon. The body will be held
at the morgue pending the arrival OF
her folks from Canada.
A ~coroner's jury consisting Of E.
H. Boyer, Sever Own and w. H. Barn

MANY FARMERS
ELEVATORS In N. D.

Grand Forks, N. D., June 26.-That
the farmers cooperative elevators in
North Dakota expect to handle six
times as much business this year as
they did last is the representation OF
f. H. Squire, the ~six-foot-siX secre-
tary Of the Equity Cooperative Elk
change. and who not many years ago
rolled about in the mud in football
games between the University of
North Dakota and Hamline. Mr..
Squire broke his journey from Fargo
to Williston in Grand Forks, where
today he is meeting many old &C
quaintances. He says crop prospects
never appeared brighter in this state
than they do right now.
According to the tall elevator man.
between thirty and forty elevators
have been organized in North Dakota
under the farmers cooperative plan.
More Of these companies r being
formed all the time, he AYERS. Eleyat-
ors of this kind have recently been
organized at all the new towns along
the Fargo-surrey cutoff. Freight
agents Of all railroads in North Da-
kota, realizing the importance of this
plan, are cooperating in the work Of
organization by furnishing the names
Of towns where such a proposition
would most likely meet with ave ms
by furnishing the anne of farmers
who would be interested in the organi-
cation of a farmers company, MIR.
Squire says.
The most important cooperative
feature of the farmers elevator plan.
according to Mr.. Squire, is that the
profits go back to the shipper. So
much interest is allowed on the CAPT.
tai stock and all profits are divided
according to the amount Of business
furnished. Each stakeholder is allowed
only one vote. The companies are or
ganized with from 100 to 200 stock
holders. This plan, the organizer
says, meets with the approval of the
farmers almost Immediately and in
sures practically all Of the business in
the territory where the farmers, ele-
vator is established.
On this trip Mr.. Squire will organize
companies at Wiliiston, Ray and
Wheelock, where meetings are called
for July 1. 2 and 8.
