BUDCE'S NOMINA-
ton IS FILED

Judge Alfred Bulge was placed in
nomination last Saturday for justice
the supreme court, subject to the
will of the republican primaries,
Hrs nomination paper pas flied with
the secretary of state by Attorney
General McDougall. Mr.. Bulge is
the second candidate to be placed in
nomination for this important office,
Chef Justice George H. Stewart
having been nominated by Judge J.
III. Richards of Boise. In COM
menting upon Judge Budge's candl-
dacy, the Capital News of last Sum-
day says:
"Few lurlsts in the state of Idaho
are more prominently known or
more highly respected for their ju-
dicial ability than Judge Alfred
Bulge. He has the distinction of
of having sat on the bench in the
district court for ~ years, during
which period he has never been re-
versed by the supreme court of this
state in a criminal case appealed
from his jurisdiction to the high
tribunal. This is considered a re-
markable record when it is consid
cred that Judge Bulge when first
elected, sat in district that COM
prised the greater part Of south-
eastern Idaho or those counties now
in the Sixth and Eighth judicial
districts. The Fifth district, over
which he now presides, was formed
later, owing to the increase in tht
volume Of business handled by the
courts.
.The Fifth district, of which
Bannock county is part, has hat
mole criminal litigation than an!
other district in the state and NOR
appeals have been carried to the su
preme court in criminal cases fron
his district.
Judge Bulge has the indorsemen
of many of the leading attorneys o
the state for his candidacy and
given prominence and unusual pref
erence in all sections of Idaho"

LORlMER WILL LOSE
SEAT IN THE SENATE

Washington, June 22.-When
the senate, on July 8, takes a vote
ion the Lorlmer case, the senator
from Illinois will be unseated by a
substantial majority, as shown by
careful polls taken by the vice presi-
dent and number of leading sena.
tors. There is still a possibility
that Lorimer will resign at the last
minute to avoid expulsion, but his
friends do not look for any such
move on his part. The vote on the
Lorlmer case will be the closing of
series of disastrous events. Not
only will this case have cost Mr.
Lorimer his seat but a number of
others will owe their defeat largely
to the fact that they supported him.
Ou March l, 1911, the senate took
its first vote on the validity of Mr..
l4orimer's title to his seat. Forty
six senators, 35 Republicans and II
Democrats, voted in favor of Lori
mer. OF the 46 who supported the
Illinois senator, % have retired
from the senate or been marked for
retirement in the past Is months.
Only two of them have died.
Senators Hale of Maine, Crane of
Massachusetts,, Aldrich of Rhode
Island and Flint of California de
clined to run for reelection; Sem
ator Bulkeley of Connecticut Bur-
rows of Michigan, Depew of New
York, Dick of Ohio, Kean of New
Jersey, piles of Washington and
Scott of West Virginia, all Repub.
licans, were defeated the winter fol.
lowing their vote for Lorimer.
Senators Foster and Thornton of
Louisina, Paynter of Kentucky,
Democrats, and Cullom of Illinois
and Gamble of South Dakota, Re
publicans, have defeated since then
Senator Gamble was chairman O
the last l.orlmer investigating com
mittee and his is the last defeat OF
the list. The prediction is freel,
made that other senators who yot
for Lorimer this year will follow th'
wake of those who voted for him il
1911, aud the complete list of fla
. talities will not be known until mex
winter.

REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
ADOPT STATE PLATFORMS
Both Conventions at Boise Attended by Repre-
sentative Republicans Indorse Taft
and His Administration.

The republicans and democrats
of Idaho met in delegate conven-
tions at BOISE last Tuesday for the
purpose of drafting platforms in
accordance with the provisions of
the primary law.
The conventions were made up of
representative men from every
county and there we're only two or
three counties which were not re-
presented.
Both conventions quickly perfect
ed organizations and the work of
drafting platforms was delegated to
committees composed of one dele
gate from aach county. These
committees got down to work late
Tuesday afternoon and after delib-
Grating until late into the night they
drafted platforms which we're sub
mitted to the respective conventions
Wednesday morning.
The republican platform, as re-
ported by the committee, contained
plank favoring tax and public
utilities commission.
After lively contest, this plank
was defeated by the close vote of
IS to s44.
In the democratic convention the
main fight was over the proposition
of naming candidate for U. 5.
senator and binding all democratic
members of the next Legislature TO
vote for the man getting the highest
vote at the primaries.
By vote of l08 sl3 to 80 5-l3
the minority report of the resolu-
tions committee was voted down
and the majority report committing
the party to the Oregon plan of
election of senators was incorporate
ed IN the platform.
The platform as adopted is said
to be unusually long.
Following is the republican plat
form in a nutshell:

Dalton was bound over to the
district court and taken tc Evans
ton by Deputy Sheriff McMinn.
That Dalton was connected with
the plot there is no doubt, for not
only did the evidence at the pre-
liminary hearing prove this, but
the day following the shooting he
went before Notary Public Morgan
at Cokeville and swore to a state
ment over his own signature, in
which he admitted having met the
Whitneys in Cokeville on the night
of June 10Th and arranged to assist
them in the plot.

COKEv|LLE DEMANDS
SUPPRESSION OF CRIME
If County Authorities Cannot Handle the Sdua-
ton, Citizens will Appeal to the Governor
Dalton Bound Over to District Court.

Cokeville, Wyo., June 81
Somewhere alive, whether sulking
in tie dark places that hide crime
apd criminals or perhaps behind
prison bars or maybe with bold ef-
frontery, walks the streets and
mIngles with his fellow man, there
is a guilty being, who has separat-
ed himself from all human kind by
one of the most dastardly deeds
that has fallen to the lot of peace
full people to record. When Dan
Hansen, chief of police of the city
of Cokeville, was shot down on the
night of June goth, no greater
martyr ever gave up life as a
sacrifice to law and order. When
this brave officer rode down that
lonely road the night of the terrible
crime he went to protect the lives
and property of those of his friends
who had been threatened by band
of the most dangerous kind of out
laws, who have too long made
Cokeville and vicinity the base of
their operations. The desperateness
OF their characters were known to
him, but the hand of fate seemed to
have rested OH this brave man,
signaling him as another victim, as
If to further arouse the people Of
this community to action and to take
a desperate stand against such law
lessness.
The time has come when, if the
county officers cannot offer the pro-
lection necessary, the people will
wait no longer upon them but will
call upon the governor of the state
and JOIN with him in the suppress
sion Of this rule of crime. The
people of Cokeville are law abid-
ing class Of people and refuse to be
longer menaced by this element.
A telegram was received last
night by Pete Olson from Oscar
Peterson at Kemmerer, advising
him that the Whitneys had been
seen at q sheep camp not far distant
from where Olsen is now shearine
his band and asking him to leave
the place. Word was sent Mr.
Olsen, but he refuses to leave hi
business. Sheriff Ward is inves
tigating the report. 1t is difficul
to find out anything definite a
supposition turns to rumor and ru
NOR is told for fact.
The preliminary hearing Of Ber
Dalton for the murder of Dan Han
sen was held at Cokeville last Tues
day. Dalton entered plea o
not guilty and when on the wltnes
stand he denied having had any
thing to do with the shooting. HI
testimony conficted with that Q

he was present at one Of the meet

boys, altho Dalton denied that b
was.

From Number of Cities De-

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 19.-Twenty
women, backing the arguments of two
attorneys, appeared before the SUI
preme court Saturday to defend the
constitutionality of the ten hour law
for women.
The court room was crowded with
women. A majority of them were
from Chicago. Others came from
Muscatine, Iowa, and Springfield.
They all worked last year to obtain
an extension of the law to include
employees of hotels and restaurants.
They listened to the arguments of At
torney Edgar A. Bancroft of Chicago
and Assistant Attorney General Fred
H Hand.
The case was the suit filed against
Edward H. Elerding, hotelkeeper at
Charleston, Ill. He Is charged with
working three women employees more
than ten hours day. Elerding ad
mitted the women worked more than
the time limit set by law. but attacked
the statute on the following lines:
That such a restriction constitutes
a class discrimination against hotels
as it does not apply to boarding
houses, and
That the labor of the women EN-
ployed in hotels is light and, there
fore, not fatiguing, even # carried OIL
for unlimited hours.

The state sought to show that tn,
act is constitutional because:
"Women's hours of work may b,
