SENATOR PERKY
WILL Be ON DECK

Senator X. ]. Perky passed thru
Montpelier last Monday on No. IL,
en- routesto Washington to begin his
duties as United States senator. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Perky, G.
ii. Arbuckie, his private secretary
and o. r Chapman his stenographer.
Several of the local democrats were
at the depot to offer their congratn-
lations and whisper few words into
the Senator'S ear regarding the dis
tribution of the federal pie in Idaho.
When the writer first became ac-
qnainted with Senator Perky twenty
two years ago, he had just flung his
shingle to the breeze" in Wahoo,
Neb. Finding it hard to build up a
practice against number of the old
er Attorney, Mr.. Perky decided to
cast his fortunes in the west and
came to Idaho, locating at Albion.
His rise in law and politics in this
state is known to most of the older
citizens.
He served one term rs judge of the
Fourth Judicial district, at the con-
cIusion OF which he located in Boise,
where he has attained lucrative
practice and is recognized as one ol
the leading attorneys OF Southern
Idaho. In politics Senator Perky
has always been democrat ant
what might be termed one of the
''fighting kInd' for he has Away
fought with all the vigor in him TO
such policies as he believed his par
ty should adopt. He served one tern
as chairman of the democratic stat
central committee.
When Senator Perky Is escorted b.
his colleague, Senator Borah, befor
the President of the senate to tax
the oath of office, many of the sen
ators will doubtless note that Idaho
new senator resembles somewhat hi
predecessor, the late Senator Hey
burn, especially as to avoirdupoii
altho Hepburn was a little heavier {
the two. There il also a resemblance
) In their faces-both being clean sha,
en-, and both having that expressio
which denotes grit and determine
ton in whatever they undertake.

olson Smith Denies the Allegation.

about Is, 600, but because of the
division created in our ranks by the
Roosevelt movement Wilson car
ried the state by about 1000 plural
ity. Notwithstanding the fact that
progressives placed ticket in the
field by appointment, the entire re-
publican state and congressional
ticket was elected, my plurality be-
ing over $4,000.
ssSenator Borah will be reelected
without opposition and the success
sor to the late Senator Hepburn to
be elected by the legislature will
also be republican.
"Governor Hawley has made a
splendid selection in the appoint-
ment of Judge Perky, most able
lawyer and gentlemen of the high
est integrity.
"While the democrats are natur.
ally elated over carrying the state
for DR.. Wilson, they are disappoint-
ed because the progressive candi-
date for governor did not take
enough votes from the republicans
to re-elect Hawley, our present
democratic executive.
e'Some of our democratic friends
are charging that the Mormon vote
was influenced by the head of the
church to support the republican
candidates, but this contention is
not borne out by the result Of the
votes. As a matter of fact there
was practically no progressive sem
tlment in the Mormon counties,
consequently the republican vote
was not divided. The democratic
vote in those counties was about
equal that of two and four years
ago. My opponent on the demo-
cratic ticket is an official of the
Mormon church aud ran ahead of
his ticket in his home county.
"The republican majorities in the
Mormon counties are no larger than
they were four years ago ard pot
nearly as large as eight years ago"

Washington, Nov. 26.--The po.
litical situation ia Idaho has been
sized up for eastean readers in two
ways by Ex-senator Fred t. Du.
bois and by Representative-elect
Addison T. Smith. Both have
been interviewed by Washington
paper. This is what Senator Du-
bois has to say in part:
"Idaho, according to. the latest
figures, will give Governor Wilson
plurality of something over 500.
The Mormon influence was respon-
sibIe for the loss of the state ticket,
which was carried by the republi-
caus by plurality of about. 1000.
The seven Mormon connties obeyed
the instructions of the head of the
church, voted almost solidly for the
republican candidates on the state
ticket and for the head Of the ma
tional ticket. In the case of the
state ticket the up state counties
gave the democratic candidate
plurality Of 1000, but this plurality
was overcome by the strong vote of
the Mormops.
Ia the case Of the national ticket,
however, the upstate counties rolled
up a plurality of something more
than 1000 for Governor Wilson,
which overcome the big plurality
given President Taft in the seven
Mormon counties, thus giving
Governor Wilson the electoral vote
of the state by a safe plurality. 1t
was due entirely to the influence Of
the Mormon church that the state
ticket in Idaho was lost by the
democrats this yeaa."

inently mentioned as the successor
to the late senator Hepburn, by
appointment of the governor, spoke

KEMMERER IS A
THRIVING CITY

Cashier r. A. Sullivan of the First
National Bank, attended The annual
meeting OF the Uinta county wool
growers which WAS held at Kemnier-
er lust Monday. Mr.. Sullivan speaks
in warm praise of the entertainment
provided for the visitors by the citi-
zens of Kemmerer. Mrs. r. j. Quealy
kept open house during the afternoon
to which the ladies of that city and
all visiting ladies ware welcome.
The ball and banquet in the even
ing. which was given by the citizens
of Kemmerer In honor of the wool
growers, was one of the very swell
est social functions, Mr.. Sullivan
say, that 1t had ever been his pleas
ure to attend. Neither time nor
money was spared in providing for
the occasion and those In charge
proved themselves to be princes at
entertaining.
In speaking of Kemmerer, gener-
ally, Mr.. Sullivan says 1t is certainly
wide .""ake and progressive little
city, and now that 1t Is about to be-
come the seat of government Of the
new county of Lincoln, It's import
ance as a business center will be ma
terially increased.
i Several new business blocks have
been erected the past season, includ-
ing an elegant home for the First
National bank, the second story of
which will be used as county officies
for several years. A $4,000 addition
to the Hotel K6mmerer is nearing
completion, and next year the city
contemplates erecting fine city hall.
The city not only does business on a
cash basis. but has 5000 to its credit
in the bank.
: Both banks of the city are in a
healthy condition and are doing a
fine business, the deposits in the two
: institutions being over million dol

JUNGLE JOE" WILL
NOT Be THERE

For years Joseph Cannon has been
a power In national affairs and for
wears his enemies have been trying
to get his scalp. After every elec
tion he would bob up stronger than
ever despite the fact that he was the
most abused man in public life. Long
ago be lost the confidence of the na-
ton bnt managed to hold that of his
constituents The farmers around
Deanville, Illinois looked upon him
as the greatest man since the year
one and the farmers elected him.
But this year they have had change
of heart and in the seat of this once
mighty lawnaker will be found a
young democrat, man without ex-
perience and unknown beyond the
confines Of his own precinct. In
| speaking of Cannon's defeat recent
! dispatch from Washington states:
.sThere is something akin to the
pathetic in the defeat of Uncle joe
Cannon of Illinois, former speaker
of the house, and it can be truly
said that no member of the house
will be more generally missed than
he. SO long has he been member
that he has become landmark, and
a house without Cannon will be a
I, house incomplete. sUncle joe Cam
lnon has been member of the house
for 3s years-longer than any Other
man in the history of the American
congress. He was first elected in
1879, and from that time to now
was only defeated once, in the Dem,
ocratic landslide of 1890; then he
was out for two years. Not only
does he hold the record for length
of service in the house, but be hold'
the speakership record, having beer
elected to that office four consecu
tive times, serving as speaker foi
eight years. Henry Clay served
longer, but not continuously. Des

ingly recommend and to the best Of
my ability insist upon, whether it il
promised in the platform of the
republican, the democratic or tn,
progressive parties, or whether i,
may have been overlooked by those
who framed the platforms of all
these parties.
II expect to devote the best en-
ergies of my life toward making my
administration the most economical,
the most efficient and the most pro.
gressive whirh we have ever had III
this state, and it is my purpose, bA
a wise exercise of the appointivr
power vested in me, to associate
with myself those members of my
party who are best able to help mt
accomplish these results. IL thu.
can be brought about there will b.
no excuse for the continue existenc,
in this state of any third party.
The republican party will have beer
shown to be the progressive party
of the state, the party most vital.
interested in the welfare of the state
and the party to be trusted with the
administration of public affairs.
elf this can be brought about,
also, those members of the republi
can party who have temporarily
allied themselves with the third party
movement IN this state will be glad
to renew their allegiance to the re-
publican party, for it will have been
made all that they could desire in
the matter Of due and proper regard
10 the rights of all the people, since
the government will have been
brought close to the people and will
have been made responsive to their
every just demand.
"Holdiug such. views it would
be manifestly improper for me to
issue any statement which could
possibly be construed as a threat, or
as desire to read out of the re-
publican party any man who now
sails or who ever has called himself
a republican.
rThose republicans who, in this
campaign, for reasons which were
no doubt satisfactory to them,
thought it necessary to temporarily
sever their connections with the
, republican party, should now returI
to their party allegiance and should
be willing to work with us for tn,
accomplishment of such results al
will demonstrate beyond all question

for growing seed peas in Bear

Examiner would like to see few
of our farmers get in touch with
some of these seed houses and arr
range TO plant few acres to peas
next year, just TO show the seed
men that Bear Lake can produce a
better grade of peas than have yet
been grown in Idaho. AS TO. the
financial end of it, there is no doubt
but it would be a paying proposi-
tion:
Representatives of northern and
eastern pea seed houses have con-
tracted for thousands of acres of
land adjacent to Idaho Falls within
the past few days which will be
planted to peas, which are TO be
grown for the seed. This business
has grown to great proportions in

vicinity of St. Anthony, where
there are thousands of acres con-
tracted for with several big ware.
