BARNES BOUND OVER
ON LARCENY CHARGE

A clean case against James Barnes,
arrested on the charge of larceny, was
made this morning in the justice court
of Judge Adams and the defendant was
bound over to stand trial in district
court in the sum of $500, which he was
unable to furnish. Barnes is the man
who, on the night of Nov. Z, entered a
tent near the fair grounds. occupied by
Lee Harland and Howard f. Baker, and
stole a watch and a purse containing
SIT. The men testified that they were
awakened by Barnes in the tent and
when he ran Harland took after him,
catching him after a run of several
blocks, and bringing him back to the
tent. The watch and purse were re-
covered a short distance from where
Barnes was captured, both having been
thrown beside the road. Six dollars
was missing from the purse and it is
thought that the defendant dropped 1t
early in the run. George c. Huebner
represented the defendant at the
hearing.

Martin Makes Statement Of His
Receipts and Expenditures; Asks
Other Candidates to Do Same

G. Fl. Martin, Progressive candidate
for governor, has submitted to the
Capital News for publication an item
lied statement showing the receipts
and disbursements of his campaign for
governor. He challenges either or both
of his opponents to publish a like
statement. Mr.. Martin pledges his
services for the future to the Pro-
gressive cause and beg5 all believers in
progressive principles to rally around
the only party which promises any
thing like probability for success. He
quotes the interview given by John M.
Haines to show that the Republican
party in Idaho is done, once for all.
with persons holding progressive views
and as indicating that relief, if any
shall come, must come from the Pro-
gressive party. Mr.. Martin writes
Evening Capital News: 1t is my de-
sire, through the columns of your pa
per to express to the Progressives OF
Idaho, my gratitude for their support
of the national ticket and Progressive
principles, and to all those who sup
ported my candidacy my profoundest
gratitude for their splendid support. 1t
is matter of great pride to me and 4
source of the profoundest satisfaction,
that in the face Of the most vicious
and unfounded attacks on my reputa-
ton and character, I carried the home
county of my two opponents by hand
some pluralities and that I carried also
my own precinct. my own city and my
own county by handsome pluralities
Many causes contributed to the de-
nf hn prn fioEn tn g
state. The decision of our supreme
court in ruling the names Of our cleo
tors off the ballot, the rainy day which
kept thousands of Progressives away
from the polls, the uncertainty in the
minds of thousands as to how to vote a
split ticket and the determination OF
those same persons to vote for Senator
Borah leading them to vote the Re-
publican ticket straight" the darkness
in the voting booth during the last two
hours of voting precluding the voters
from seeing where to write in the
names of the Roosevelt electors, and
the solidarity of the Southeast" all
contributed to the result. Under all the
circumstances, the wonder Is. not that
we did not win. but that we made as
good showing as we did.
AS for myself, do not know whether
I shall ever again be candidate for
office, but the Progressives of Idaho
may rest assured that shall continue
to give my time and my money to the
success of the Progressive cause. as Il

away after having abandoned his

Il have never seen a more perfect
picture of human distress than that
presented by these unhappy men,
thrown into one of the most terrible
wars of history, without food, with
out medical attention, almost without
arms. And at Seidler l saw a soldier
whose right hand had been severed,
hold out to us. begging for medical
help, the bleeding stump. around
which he had tied a piece of Irvine.
Il saw long lines of famished men
who came to our tent begging for a
crumb Of bread and staggering away
without a murmer of complaint when
told that we had none to give them.

trail OF blood as they dragged them
selves toward Tchorlu. I saw hun

dying from wounds and fatigue.
AT Tchorlu a column of soldiers,
terrible in appearance, struggled
through the streets in a rain and
wind storm. No one paid any atten-
ton to them. They had no shelter,
nothing to eat. From a nearby bak-
cry an officer threw out handfuls Of
bread. and the soldiers fought for the
loaves. More than half of them got

sa
Democrats Want Nebraskan
as Chief Orator at Wilson
Jollifcation.

Idaho Democrats want William Jen-
nings Bryan as the chief orator at
the Wilson Qualification meeting to be
held in this city within few weeks
under the auspices of the Ada County
Wilson club and IL 1t Is possible to
get the commoner to again journey
into the northwest this year, the Dem
ocrats will have one of the greatest
meetings ever held in the state. This
sentiment was expressed freely last
night at a meeting Of the club and a
committee was appointed consisting of
Frank c. Woodford. J. P. Pope and
Jerry Robinson to recommend date
for holding the meeting. Whether 1t
will be smoker or a banquet will be
determined at a meeting to be held
either Friday or Saturday right Of this
week.
NJ. Alexander. president Of the club.
called the meeting to order, and made
the first address Of the evening In
which he made reference to the fact
that the Democrats in Idaho lost their
fight because they did not compro-
mise the progressive element. The
matter Of a Qualification meeting was
then taken up and the majority seemed
in favor of n smoker to which but
little expense would be attached which
every Democrat could attend, whereas
a dollar dinner might be too expen-
sive for some. The possibility of get
ting Bryan to attend was next dis
cussed. Everyone present was in favor
of the plan and consequently an invi-
tation will be extended to the Neb-
raskan to be present.
Among the speakers of the evening
were Fred Floed. private secretary to
Governor Hawley, and FIR. Wilson, Of
Emmett. AS soon as the date Of the
big jollification is set, invitations will
be sent out over the state to leading
members Of the party to be present.

labor TOO HIGH
TO MAKE PROFIT
North Dakota Ranchers
Have Had Bad Year, De-
clares Boise Man.

1.-THE big ranchers Of North Dakota
are being ruined by unjust laborers
of the hobo class, who take advantage
Of the short season in which grain
must be harvested and hold the
ranchers UP for their labor, so that
the profit is being taken out of the
business and many of the largest grain
growers in the state intend going out
of the business, cutting up their ranch
es and engaging in stockraising. Five
dollars per day and board has been the
price demanded by laborers in the field
this year and even when getting that
price they refused to get up in the
morning and feed the teams or help
to get ready for the days work, leav-
ing that work to the steady employees
on the ranches
The above statement was made yes
terday by G. Treffry. who has Just re-
has a ranch Of $500 acres. all of which
was planted to grain this year, and
most of which he was successful in
getting harvested, although his men
struck four times in three months,
each time for higher wages, until the
S. mark was reached. Each time they

Mr. Treffry states that they worked
as they chose. If a man was dis
charged or quit. he was waited upon
by the rest to find out the reason and
if 1t was not considered just, they
would strike.
While Mr.. Treffry did not experience
any strikes from such conditions, his
neighhors did, and many Of them
state they will not stand for such ex-
periences another year and are pre-
pairing TO engage In some other busi-
ness. Mr.. Treffry also proposes to cut
up his big ranch as he states that
most of his profit this year went to
farm hands.
Prior to his return home all the
grain on his ranch had been threshed
except 600 acres. which the men ex-
jpected to finish within week or 10
days. The crops this year. he states.

last year. owing to long rainy season
In the state. Wheat was selling at Sc
cents, rye at 20 cents. barley 46 cents
and oats at &c cents. the price on oats
being the lowest in many years.
Mr.. Treffry is glad to be back in

interests here and he expects to SO
arrange his affairs next year that he
will not be obliged to spend such
long time on his North Dakota ranch.

does matter about the success of pro-
gressive principles. They must sue
coed, and so l call upon every Pro-
gressive in Idaho to put forth every
effort between now and the time of
election in 1914. to make the success of
progressive principles sure.
l observe that John M. Haines. Re-
publican governor elect, at Portland,
last Thursday, said that Progressives
were no longer wanted as part of or
as an adjunct to the Republican party.
This is just another evidence that pro-
gressive Republicans are undertaking
a hopeless task in Idaho in their efforts
to reform the Republican party of this
state. 1t is determined not to be re-
formed and the only hope of the pro.
gressive Republicans is in the success
of the Progressive party in idaho.
I am sending herewith a statement
of my receipts and disbursements dur
ing the campaign. l wish to have the
same published so that the people of
the state may know true conditions. l
shall be delighted If either Of my op-
ponents will tell the people of this
state how much they received and from
whom and how muc'; they paid out and
what for.
With best wishes to your paper and
to my friends throughout the state,
am,
Sincerely yours.
