SMITH OUTLINES HIS
POSITION IN CAMPAIGN
Tells the Voters of the State Where He Stands
on the Issues Of the Day-He IS for Pro-
gressive Policies.

II stand upon that platform for pro-
gress which would give the Cover nment
the right constantly to correct the
abuses of our industrial civilization; !;
constantly to advance the general well
fare of all the people in every domain
of life; constantly to make political
parties aud government Increasingly
responsible to sovereign people that
has pledged itself to proceed in an or
derly constitutional fashion. Without
DESERVING the experience of our pa +.
without violating the rulee of procedure
laid down in our constitutions, COM
init myself to a progressive political
policy which bases its behefs on fact,
reaches its conclusions thru careful and
wide discussion, and projects its prac-
tical measures of reform under sense
Of full responsibility to people having
the right to pass final judgment
"Only by continuing in force our
protective system, with such revision
from time to time as changed condi-
tions may require, can we hope to
maintain our present prosperous con-
dition and high standard of wages.
History shows that whenever the Dem
ocrats have gained control of the gov.
erament and imposed upon the country
free trade with foreign countries, or
tariff for revenue only, the wheels OF
progress have been retarded and years
of trade stagnstion and hard times
have resulted. The careful and con-
servative farmer, miner, stockraiser,
wage Garner, tradesman and profession
al man of this country are the back
bone and safety valve OF the nation,
and they can be depended upon TO
wisely consider the advisability Of ex-
changing their present condition Tor
one of encouragement, despair and
possible bankruptcy, which will surely
| result IL the government is turned over
to the Democracy and their experiment
| in government inaugurated.
"On account of my Identification
thru q sessions with the Idaho CON-
gressional delegation at Washington,
and my familiarity with the legislative
needs of the state and country, feel
canfident of my ability to render valu-
able service at Washington, and l con-
fidently submit my candidacy and ear
nestly solicit the support Of the people
at the polls."

STONE MEETING
WAS CANCELLED

\ The democrats OF Montpelier were
terry much disappointed last Mon.
day, when telegram was received
from headquarters at Boise saying
It was necessary to cancel Senator
stones meeting in this city for We'd
fnseday night, Oct 2. The telegram
stated that tlie- national committee
had directed that the senator return
TO Oregon after his speech in Boise
on Tuesday night. This means that
Senator Stone will not be able to
speak here at ell.
It looks now as though there would
be but very few political meetings in
Montpelier during the campaign.
The cost of securing the opera house
Is $50, and neither the republican OIL
democratic committees can afford tc
pay that price for very many meet
iiigs.
1t is probable, however, that tn,
kopera house will be secured for Gov
ernor Hawley and Senator Borah
when they come to Bear Lake.

Whether or not the fair will be a

doing their share but they alone
cannot make fair--lhey must have
the cooperation of the people.

THE STOLEN GOODS

hour last Saturday morning, who
helped himself to five or six watch
es and considerable silverware, the
total amounting to about 5000. En-
trance to the store was gained by
breaking light out of a window in
the rear Of the building. TIVE rob-
berry was not discoverer until about
o'clock Saturday morning, when
Manager Goodman opened the store.
The authorities were notified and a
list of the stolen articles was sent by
wire to the officers at verious points
along the Short Line.
Saturday about noon coldred
gentleman appeared at the ranch of
Frank Mau, near Cokeville, and tried
to sell some silverware. Frank was
u little suspicious that it was stolen
goods, and refused to buy. The fel-
low then went out to the barn and
succeeded in selling one of Mau's
hired men a watch for S3. The lat
ter didn't have that amount on his
person and asked Mau to let him
have the money. BY this time Mr.
Mau was fully satisfied that the
fellow was selling stolen property
and PRETEND not to hav So In cash

WHAT'S THE MAT

"W hats the matter with the

question that is put by the Abilene,
Kan, Reflector. And it is a very
p' rtlnent inquiry. There are loud
ard vehement wailings about
"'vils" and "wrongs" and "slav-
ery," and the people are being told
that conditions are so bad that
nothing less than a complete rever-
sal of present policies, practical
revolution iu our system Of govern
ment can cure them. But Is that
true? Or is 1t mere hysteria, the
vain imaginings of men who are
"out" and want to get 'in?" If
you can't answer those questions,
suppose you ask few of the peo-
pie you meet.
Ask the farmer. He will tell
you that crops this year are worth

5000. 600, 900 more than any farm

TRYING TO HEAD OFF
PROGRESSIVE PARTY

\ Boise, Oct. Colonel Judson
$pofford yesterday filed a suit In
3he supreme court, asking that Sec
Tetary Of state Wilfred L. Clifford
be enjoined from certifying the
names of the candidates of the Pro-
gressive party to the county audi
tors to be printed upon the official
ballot in the coming election. Tie
complainant asks that a writ of
mandamus be also issued compelling
the secretary of state to certify to
the county auditors all nominees ex-
cept those on the Progressive tic.
ket.
The complaint, which was filed
in the supreme court owing to there
not being sufficient time to thresh
the matter out in the district
court, contains the history of the
Progressive movement In this state
and goes into the details of the
methods employed by the Progress
sive party to nominate the candi-
dates upon the ticket.
Colonel Spofford brings the suit
as a qualified elcetor of the state qf
Idaho and claims in his complaint
that the Progressive ticket was not
nominated regularly within theI
scope of the statues aud that for II
to appear upon the official ballot
would work irreparable injury to
the citizens of the state owing to
the confusion it would cause among
the voters, who would be unable
to quickly and accurately mark
their ballots.
The position is also taken in the
complaint that the convention held
at st. Anthony on July 80, 1912,
in compliance with the primary law
of the state, was the only body
which could nominate Progressive
candidates for office. The com.
plaint shows that three Presiden
tlal electors of the Progressive par
ity were selected at the St. Anthony
convention and that the matter oi
nominating a state ticket was also
brought to the attention of the con.
vention and discussed by those del
egate assembled there at length, bu
thtt it was decided by those dele
gates not to nominate state tic
ket, but TO leave the matter to u
the state committee of the Progress
sive party.
Il is sought to enjoln' the Pro
: gressive candidates from being Ger
: titled to the county auditors by tn
secretary of state upon the ground
that the Progressive convention a
2 St. Anthony was legally consti
t tuted organization to name a stat
t ticket in compliance with the diree
g primary law of Idaho and that th
circulation of petitions for the pur
pose of nominating candidates
e against the spirit aud intent of Il
: direct primary law of this state, e
i pecially after the opportunity
e nomInate state ticket had bee
g given the Progressive party at s
Anthony convention.
