broken one eye nearly destroyed, and
his face and body converted into a
mass of bruises. One OF the gang
suddenly discovered that they were

Notwithstanding the rebuke admin

candidate for reelection next fall. He
is now serving his second term as
mayor, but the terms were not con-

defeat for those who fathered them.
In political circles the defeat OF the
Thompson-Hally franchise is regarded
as a direct slap at the mayor, but he
Us undaunted and seems determined
TO make the run for a third term in
spite Of the warning given him last
Tuesday. when he could not muster
the support of his own party for the
franchise.
The mayor is probably counting on
the $4,000 who voted for the fran
chise TO stand by him in the mayoral
campaign and figures that enough OF
the 10000 who voted against II will
see the error of their ways" and vote
for him by way of atonement Just
whether this will work out remains
to be seen.
His honor will not admit. as yet,
that he is candidate.
That is a leading question: he

FOUNDER OF RED CROSS DEAD.

Miss Clara Barton, founder of the
American Red Cross society, died at
her home in Glen Echo, Md, last
Friday. April IL. The cause was
chronic pneumonia with which she was
stricken about year ago.
Miss Barton might properly be
called the Florence Nightingale of
Ameri a. Like her British prototype
her works of mercy were not con-
fined to her native land but were
carried into the eastern hemisphere.
Miss Barton was 40 years old when
first she turned her attention to the
great works of humanity which have
made her name famous. The Red
Cross was established in America in
1881.

IA TALE OF TWO CITIES. -

Two years ago the Socialists Of
Butte captured the city government.
AS usual when Socialism has been
tried out, the copper city found that
theoretical Socialism is one thing and
practical Socialism Is another. So
when the opportunity was presented
to overthrow the Socialist city gov
eminent, the people of Butte did the
job with neatness and dispatch.
The largest city which has sue
cumbed to Socialist control is Mil
waukee, and the people of that city
had a chance to redeem themselves
and they did it in manner that gave
the Socialists jolt from which they
will never recover. The successful
candidate for mayor of Milwaukee,
DR.. Bading, defines the signifance of
the victory in these words:
"Once more Milwaukee stands in
the eyes of the world redeemed as an
American city, believing in the Amer
lean constitution and government.
"We have thrown off the dis
grace under which we have suffered
for the last two years, and have made
it apparent that Milwaukee people
are loyal Americans and not Social
lists nor Anarchists. Idaho Regis

THE ILLINOIS PRIMARY
(Pocatello Tribune)

Colonel Roosevelt proved himself
stronger in Illinois than a good many
persons expected he would do and
this is probably accounted for by the
fact that he made a strenuous speak
ing tour in that state right on the
eve of the preferential primary.
He and Senator LaFollette have
the best of President Taft in one
way, and that is, they can 60 out
over the country drumming up votes,
something which the dignity of his
position prevents Mr.. Taft from do
ing.
There can be no question that in
Illinois the Lorimer issue cut good
deal of figure, and, rather unfairly,
1t would appear to the unbiased OBJ
serversthe Roosevelt followers there
attempted to make it appear that the
political causes of the president and
senator were united.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1912-04-19

Probably many voters believed this
for the reason that the colonel, in his
speeches, roundly denounced Senator
Lorimer, while President Taft natur-
ally has not gone into this matter
because the question of Mr.. Lorimer's
fitness to remain in the senate is still
in the hands of the upper house of
congress.
AS of old the colonel was not re-
strained from finding the senator
guilty, although to do so might I'M
fairly prejudice Mr.. Lorimer's case.
The Illinois primary contained a
surprise for the Democrats of the ma
ton in the remarkable strength Mr..
Champ Clark developed there.
