Martin Tells OF
HIS CONNECTION
With NICHOLAS
Indignant at the Insinua-
tions Made Against Him
He Has Acted Only for the
Creditors.

G. H. Martin, Progressive nominee
for governor, returned to Lewiston late
Saturday night from the interior of the
state. He there, evidently. first learned
of the insinuating story published in
the organ of the special interests in
Boise wherein it was sought to connect
him with wrong doing of one James H.
McNicholas. Mr.. Martin, upon being
informed of the story. Immediately
wired State Chairman Gipson full par
ticulars of his connection with the af-
fairs of McNicholas, which shows that
he acted only in behalf of the creditors
and that he was secretary of the com
pany for the very purpose of prevent
ing the sale of stock by McNicholas
In other words, his connection with the
company was the very opposite of that
which the morning paper sought to
make it appear by insinuation that it
was and instead of being for the pur-
pose of exploiting and promoting the
property or the stock of the company,
it was for the purpose of preventing
any such exploitation. His message to
State Chairman Gipson is as follows:

to attend the state fair She
had made arrangements for chape-
rome for these children, who were to
be cared for on the fair grounds. but
at the last moment she was notified
that this chaperone could not serve
Miss Shepherds chief assistant, Miss
Mccoy, was sick in the hospital and
Miss shepherd could not and would not
leave these children unprotected in
proper manner. so she had personally
to take charge of them. This, together
with the office duties which could not
be neglected took her time, day and
night, during the fair.
The next week, Governor Hawley
and Mr.. Hill, secretary of the Demo-
cratic state central committee, set the
final hearing of the industrial school
case for Oct II, over the protest OF
Miss Shepherd, who explained that all
the evidence had not been submitted
and who furthermore protested because
Oct IA was the date that had been
set last July in Chicago, long before
this matter came up, for the meeting
here of the National State Superin-
tendent's association. Miss Shepherd
explained that she had invited these
state superintendent to meet in Boise
and that it was considered great
honor, sharply contested for at the
National Educational association, to
secure this meeting, and she felt that
she could not be so discourteous to
these men of national reputation who
had accepted the hospitality of Boise
as not to meet with them She asked
that a later date be fixed. She was
asked If she could not attend night
meeting, but she explained that the
superintendents could hold one night
session and the other had been left
open for entertainment of the state
superintendents by the people of Bois'
