Washington, July 19- The reply Of
President Taft and his friends to
Colonel Roosevelt's reported charges
of fraud" and stealing of delegates''
In the Chicago convention promises to
be loosed from several sources in Wash
ington next week, couched in terms
that will be in many ways counter
attack upon the Roosevelt campaign.
The statement that will be issued
from the White House, the final draft
OF which was considered ty the cais-
inct today, will be an exhaustive an
alysis OF, the contest cases and a re-
ply to all the Roosevelt charges of un-
fair dealings.
Whild this statement will not, SO
far as can be learned, make any d.
rect charges against the Roosevelt
managers, it is understood thet Taft

attack In unmeasured terms tho con-
tests brought by the Roosevelt forces

1t is the duty of every Republican
to resister for the primary, it is the
duty of every good citizen to register
and vote, for that matter, but it is
particularly incumbent upon all Repub-
licans to register and vote in the pri
mary at this time, if for no other rea
son than to vote for Judge Alfred
Bulge for the supreme court bench
There are many reasons why Republi-
cans should register and vote, but this
one is ample. Mr.. Bulge is entitled
to the support of every Republican in
Pocatello and Southeastern Idaho, and
it is our duty to register and to give
him the necessary support in the prim-
ary.
Mr.. Bulge resides in Pocatello, but
he is as well known in every nook and
corner of the southeast as he is at
home and he should be given vote

TRIBUTE TO HAINES
BY IDAHO CO. MAN

The following letter under date Of
June % to the Sun was written by
Charles A. Parosns Of Grangeville:
Il am writing you today on a mat
ter which is Of much interest to me,
and trust may have some common
element Of mutual interest to both Of
US. It Is in regard to the candidacy
Of the Hon. John M. Haines for the
position Of governor Of Idaho
II have known Mr. Haines for twen-
ty-seven years Have watched HE ca
reer in which he has builded up both
fortune and reputation as business
man successfully: have seen his abiliti.
demonstrated in the administration Of
public affairs while mayor Of Boise,
and can endorse his personal and pub
lie life as being Of the highest class of
broad minded, progressive citizenship.
In the matter of political interest,
most every one has closest at heart tie
doing Of things. What will be done is
the vital question we should ask our
selves when we are considering who
we shall support for each office Of
trust and confidence. We are obliged
to repose in the man, and naturally it
becomes question Of what benefit will
be derived from supporting this man
or another, and to what cause can be
accredited the action we take in the
cr3y In ~ kho
against the other.
Generally these questions are
threshold out in the minds of the voter
by discussion of the possible good or
bad qualities of the candidate in con-
vention endorsements and by personal
condolences which are shown to be in
the balance of majority opinion of
those whom we are in touch with and
whom we know are posted in the
concerns of such public interests.
"Mr. Haines is we'll known in that
part of the state in which his business
and private life has beeen lived. He
has always stood high in the esteem
of those who are his nearest neighbors,
and his business associates are among
the men who are foremost in the ef-
forts to build up and perpetuate the
prosperity and elevation Of both the
business and social advantages of the
county and state in which we live.
"Never through all the years of his
struggles, has he given up the high
aims Of manhood's ambition. Never,
during the years of successful personal
business has he turned from the duties
Of public life in a selfish defense of
his time or energies where he might
use either in behalf Of the people
among whom he has lived and worked
for the upraising of self and people.
There are no signs in him changing |
demeanor with the growth of his in
fluence or the increase Of his bank ac-
count. He is the same John M.
Haines today that he was as young |
man in early life when first became
acquainted with him, having changed
only in the sense Of experience and
age.
THESE are valuable assets in the
conducting of business, either personal
or public. These are among the items
of Importance which we must consid-
er when we select man to fill the
highest position of honor and trust in
the great little state of Idaho. Some
men aspire to position from selfish
motive of self qualification.
Others are inspired with a
high enough in the branches of knowl-
edge concerning the position to make

How to "Shed" a
Bad Complexion

It's foolish to attempt to cover up
or hide a sallow complexion, when
you can so easily remove the sallow-
ness or the complexion itself. Rouge
and the like on a brownish skin only
emphasize the defect. The better way
is to apply pure mercolized waX-the
same as you would cold cream-put-
ting it en- at night, removing it in the
morning with warm water, following
with q dash of cold The effect of a
few applications is simply marvellous.
The half dead cuticIe is absorbed by
the wax-painlessly, gradually, in tiny,
Imperceptible particles revealing the
beautiful Velvety-white new skin be-
meath.
bIotchy, pimpIy or freckled complex
ion if she'll just go to the druggists,
get an ounce of good mercolized wax
and use as ggested.-WOman'
