lican organization which has more
money for experimental and impractical
purposes than has the Progressive or
ganization. Allen conceived the idea
of publishing a weekly magazine, or
the idea was conceived at Republican
headquarters and turned over to him.
1t is not clear which. At any rate the
Republican state central committee,
through Charles q. Sumner its pub
licity agent, guaranteed to pay the bills
for the new publication. and upon such
guaranty the bills were paid.
After Allen had made ready to spring
his literature attacking Borah, and in
effect announcing abandonment Of Taft
and all the state ticket except Peterson
and Haines, he arranged with the Cax-
ton printery at Caldwell to do the me-
chanical work for him. The Cations
knew him and demanded to know
where their money was coming from.
Allen informed Mr.. Gipson. manager
for the Caxton shop, that Charles G.
Sumner, publicity secretary of the Re-
publican state central committee,
would pay for the work. Gipson knew
Allen pretty we'll so he demanded n
written order from him. which was
given. Then GIBSON, still having his
man in mind, called up Republican
state headquarters and asked Mr..
Sumner about the order and IL It was
good. Mr.. Sumner assured him 1t was
perfectly good and would be paid upon
the delivery of the printed matter 10
Mr.. Allen. Thereupon. Mr. Gipson or
dered the work done. The weekly
edition wa printed and delivered and
Mr. Gipson received his money.
Tho Order.
The order given to Mr.. Gipson by
Allen. which was approved by Sumner
at the Republican state headquarters,
is as follows:
"Chares G. Sumner,
Boise. Idaho.
Pay to CaXton Printers, Ltd. on
Tuesday. Sept cath. the sum Of one
hundred and fifty-four dollars, value
received. and charge my account.
"tSigned ARTHUR II. ALLEN"

from which the $154 was to be taken,

has not been exhausted as Allen Is still
flying high about the city, wears good
clothes and appears to have plenty 10
eat and apparently little to do.
eorah Attacks Bitter.
The attacks upon Senator Borah in
the publication paid for from Repub-
lican headquarters are particularly
bitter. In the very first article, written
by the political writer of the Boise /
Statesman, appears this declaration:
"ln the state the Republican party
seems to have been cut in twain by
William e. 6orah and Theodore Rooss.
welt. Senator Borah started all tho |,
trouble when he intcrfered In the Ada
county primaries for delegates to the
Republican convention at Lewiston
last spring. At that time no sent al
telegram to the Roosevelt supporters
that he favored the nomination Of
Rooccve't at Chicago, and whom the |
Taft people inquired as to his position
on the matter he refused to answer"
Then again this appears to remind |
the Taft voters that they are not ex-
pected TO support Borah:
The men who stood behind Senator
Borah at that time are not being con-
much by the senator in this
campaign IL seems that his friends AT
the time of the Borah indictments are
now all practically for Taft and fo:
That reason there can be no community
of interests"
1.-THE Men Who Made Him."
There then follows a hot shot in
which some wonderful men. not named
are referred to as having made him
what he is" That any set OF men
should set themselves up as makers"
OF Senator Borah. will be received by
him and his friends with considerable
surprise. That such a statement should
be bought and paid for from Repub-
lican state headquarters. will strike
them with still greater surprise.
All through the magazine, the prin.-
ing or which was paid for from Repub-
lcan quarters. there runs the idea
that the Republican state AMI national
ticket In Idaho is doomed. The only
friendly references in the magazine
to any OF the state candidates being
TO Peterson, candidate for attorney
general and Haines. candidate for gov
ernor. Haines gets an entire page
write-up and another page is devoted
to reproduction of his picture.
