Judging from the curneStness of the
speakers and the field workers who
have studied the political situation
very closely as 1t relates to the two
great national parties. the influence Of
the league is going to be felt in no un-
certain way in the coming national DO
aitical campaign.
The situation In so far as the action

cause of the fact that, contrary to ex-

State Chairman ]. II. Gipson Of
the progressive party has given
out statement at Boise vigorous.
ly denouncing the action OF the
supreme court in ruling the Roose
welt electors off the ballot. He
says the whole movement was
engineered by the republican state
committee with the deliberate pur-
pose of disfranchising the pro-
gressive voters "because their
votes would not have been cast in
accordance with the desires ofthe
committee and in accordance with
the commands Of the special in.
terests, which have too long con-
trolled the republican organiza
ton" 104e
Chairman Gipson says further;
"This decision of the supre me
court in this state but aids the
republican organization to per.
petrate another steal from the
people, which is in pursuance ol
the conspiracy to steal the presi
dency of the United States.
1--WE shall Immediately take
steps to inform the people Of Idaho
how to vote for the Roosevelt
electors in spite of this effort t
disfranchise them. "
"This they can do by writing il

velt electors, and we are firm il

LIQUOR AND INSURANCE

What Is Wasted and What Might
Be Gained.
Uncle Sans liquor bill is said to
be SIS per year per capita. The
annual premium paid the old line
life insurance companies on fifteen
billion dollars Of insurance is IS
per capita above returns to policy
holders. The fraternal societies
have between eight and nine billion
dollars of insurance outstanding
and the fraternal insurance tax Of
this nation is about 10 cents per
capita per anhum. So it would
appear that for twenty three to
twenty four billion dollars OF lie
