New York, Nov. with the status
of John +. Mcintyre, former chief coun-
sci for Lieutenant Charles Becker, still
undetermined, Joseph A. Shay. new at

a statement today in which he declared
that he had discovered evidence which

case with the famous DSayfus case in
France.
Becker Is condemned to death on the

exactly like the lying French officers
who condemned Dreyfus." said Shay.
You will find that Becker will be de-
clared innocent and given as high rank
as was Dreyfus.'

tonight and said that the former chief
counsel had not retired from the case
despite reports to that effect. A

BACKFR0M NORTH
Declares That the Progress
sive Ticket Will Be Given
Loyal Support.

North Idaho is not only strongly
Progressive, but it will give the Pro-
gressive ticket in this state loyal sup
port, in the opinion OF Captain John
E. Yates, Progressive candidate for
state treasurer, who returned last
night from the panhandle enthusiast
tic over the campaign carried on there
by himself in company with G. III.
Martin, Progressive candidate for gov
ernor
you will find in north Idaho prac-
tically the same conditions as you do
in this section of the state with re-
gard to the Progressive movement
and the Progressive party candidates,
said Captain Yates when interviewed
last night. It mean by that, that If
you remain in the cities and towns you
will not begin to realize the depth OF
the Progressive sentiment in this
state, although l do not mean to say
that the Progressive movement is not
strong in these cities and towns. How
ever, in the country in north Idaho
as in south Idaho, the Progressive
n,ov cement Is more noticeable. The
farmers are, as a rule, strongly Pro-
gressive.
TT Is the silent vote this year that
cannot be solved. To every one man
who will express himself, there are six

care to use figures but I am conf
dent that Mr.. Martin and the entire
