Three Bands For The Fourth.

Arrangements have been COM
pleted this week whereby the
Nezperce and Grangeville bands
have been secured to furnish
music here during the celebra-
ton and the Grangeville, Lewis
ton and Winchester ball teams
will also be here at the same
time, thereby assuring plenty of
music and amusement for both
days of the celebration. Other
matters are going forward in fine
shape and everything now points
to the celebration being the big
gest affair of its kind ever pulled
off in this part of the state. Good
weather has been ordered for
both days and no effort will be
spared to provide accommodations
for all who come. Better plan
to be here.

From present indications Roose-
welt has defeated Taft in the Ohio
primaries and this practically
eliminates the president from the
race for the nomination. It
means Roosevelt or a dark horse
for the republican nominee and
this means Champ. Clark for
president. The stand pat ele-
ment of the republican party will
not support Roosevelt should he
prove successful in the national
convention and the insuryent
wing will hardly stand for a dark
horse stand pat candidate, so
Clark will catch votes both COM
ing and going.

1t is now scarcely two months
until the political primaries must
be held and but few candidates
have as yet announced them
selves. Better get busy, boys,
and come out into the open so
the people can get a look at you
before the busy season strikes us
and drives all thoughts but those
of hay and harvest into the back
ground of our memories. Luck
does not smile on the timid wooer,
so grid up your loins and get
busy.

La Toilette Campaign Statements Denied
By Number of Unimpeachable Witnesses
HOUSER URGED La
TOILETTE TO QUIT
Wanted Him to Join in Efforts to
Bring Roosevelt Out.

WanVo0 him 20 Join In Efforts to
Bring Roosevelt Out.
Washington. D. c. March 1s.-The
continued publication in North Dako-
ia newspapers Of interviews with Wal
ter b. Houser which wholly and abso-
lntely misrepresents Colonel Roose-
velt's attitude toward Senator LaFol-
lette and towards the progressive
movement, compels me to make this
further statement of the facts:
Colonel Roosevelt never urged Sem
ator La Toilette to become candidate
for the presidency nor did he support
the candidacy Of La Toilette or Of any
one else. At the urgent request Of
hosts Of republicans the colonel re-
luctantly decided to accept the repub-
lican nomination II rendered to him
because 1t had become apparent that
he was the only progressive who pos
sibly could be nominated.
II Mr. Houser will take the trouble
to recall the facts. he will remember
that Colonel Roosevelt did not urge
Senator La Toilette to become a can
dtdate for the presidency. He will al
SO remember that Mr.. Houser was
himself among the first Of La Fol-
lette's supporters to urge that the sen.
ator should abandon his own candi-
dacy In the interest Of the progressive
cause aud join with others in urging
Colonel Roosevelt to accept the nom
ihation because Roosevelt could alone
carry these policies to victory.

new Sensation
IN BOMB AFFAIR
Strange Man Wanted to
Kick in Door of Judge
Rosalsky Home.

New York, March 18.-The home of
Judge Otto A. Rosalsky Of the court
of general sessions. where q bomb de-
livered to him exploded last night,
was the scene today Of renewed ex-
citement caused by the appearance Of
a man who wildly kicked at the door
and demanded admittance.
The stranger was shabbily DRESS
ed ma7 who forced his way past the
hall attendants in the apartmen mt
building on Riverside drive and
climbed six flights Of stairs to see
Judge Rosalsky about some fancied
grievance of persecution by the to-
bacco trust" Police were called and
the man was taken to Bellevue for
observation as to his sanity. He gave
his name as Wolf Berman and his
business as that of cigarmaker. The
police believed him to be insane. but
with the attempt made on Judge Ros-
alskys life with the bomb.
Inspector Owen Egan Of the bureau
Of combustibles, who was badly in
jured while examining the bomb in
the judges library. insisted on leav-
ing the hospital today. although he
suffered pain from a mangled hand
and torn face.
To newspaper men the judge would
not express himself more fully than
he did last night. when he declared
he had no particular suspicion of any
one, but admitted that he had receiv.
ed many threatening letters-one at
the time he sentenced Carlessi. forg-
er, to twelve years in prison two
weeks ago. This threat was to blow
up the criminal courts building.
AS to any suggestion that the bomb
sending might have any connection
with the Folke E. Brandt case ex-
planning Rosalsky sentneced the for
mer valet of Mortimer L. Schiff to the
3O-year term over which there has
judge would say nothing.
Postal inspectors have Joined de-
tectives in the search for the letter
carrier who delivered the bomb yes
terday. Another feature of the in
vestigation was comparison of the
Rosalsky bomb with one which killed
Helen Taylor in her home on Febru-
ary 8. The police never cleared up
that mystery.
Similarity in the construction of the
two bombs Is said to be remarkable
in some particulars. Both bombs
bore typewriter addresses on white
paper pasted onto a MANILA paper
wrapper. The boxes were about Of
the same size and each contained two
tiny electric batteries and q spring
arrangement designed to produce an
electric spark when the cover was re-
moved.
Inspector Egan. who was examin-
ing the bomb when it exploded. be-
lieves he owes his life to the fact that
the inside pockets Of his coat were
stuffed with heavy documents. With
out this protection he believes some
Of the slugs from the bomb would
have torn into his bodv. His coat was
torn and several slugs were found
lodged against the paper.

Now that Senator LaFollette has
been in the state some days and the
people have been able to hear him and
see him. the situation has cleared it.
self. There is no Significance in the
attacks Of the senator on Col. Roose-
'velt's record. The people have esti-
mated them at their true value as a
part Of the political game Of cam
paigning
More important. however. is the
fact that the senator has stated his
position on many important issues of
the day. In point of principle. Senator
LaFoilette stands on practically the
same platform as Theodore Roosevelt
has always stood on. The men who
are running for delegates to the ma
tional convention on the LaFollette
ticket have long since declared them
selves in the following words:
I'VE have at all times recognized
Theodore Roosevelt as the head and
front Of the progressive movement in
the United States
Roosevelt himself has sent a mes
sage to the people Of this state. He
tells them:
II am making straight out pro-
gressive fight on a stfaightout pro-
gressive platform. am the one man
whom the reactionaries and the spe-
ctal beneficiaries Of privileges really
dread and they welcome and make
use of any allies In the effort to de-
feat me because in this contest I
stand for the rights of the people to
rule and for social and industrial
Justice"
The issue is therefore squarely be-
fore the voters. Are they going to
throw away their ballots by voting for
a man who has no chance for the
nomination. and in SO doing oppose
the progressives throughout the coun-
try in their efforts to make their poll
cies effective or are they going to vote
for q man who stands for progressive
principles and who can be nominated
and elected?
Personally I believe that the repub-
licans Of this state will Join with those
in the nation at large to help nominate
the one man who by experience and
leadership Is best fitted to be at the
head Of our government during this
trying period Of Industrial, social and
political readjustment.
