GOVERNOR HAWLEY'S
FALSE CHARGES

Shoshone Journal: Two years ago
Governor Hawley made his campaign
on the strength Ct the charges of mis-
conduct on the part of the land board
and the mismanagement of the Carey
Act lands: That the charges he made
at that time for. the purpose of boost
ing his political fortunes have re-a ted
to the detriment of the whole state to
TIE extent OF untold, millions of dollars
is a matter of common knowledge
That he has not done a single act for
the settlers that any other man in
his position would not of necessity !
have done is also matter of every
day knowledge. Not that Mr.. Hawley
lacked the desire to do what he pro-
missed in his campaign to do but that
he lacked that power and authority to
do those things, and that most of
them would have been unwise had he
done them is as true as the other
facts connected with his administers
ton. t.u .....
The Carey Act settlers are capable
of doing their own thinking on politi-
cal matters and it is not necessary
that the Democratic party select a. Sc
cret ticket of FIXED candidates and
demand that their non-partizan ticke
be the only true friend of the Carey
Act settlers. ".

A POLICY OF THRIFT

The sheep and wool industry of
Idaho is one of the most important
industries we have. There are many
reasons aside from protective legisla-
ton why this is so. Natural condl-
tions, ranges, and food supply are aC-
'vantageous to the promotion Of the
industry. That it has thrived and
that the state has become one of the
most important factors in the wool
and sheep business is perhaps due to
the protection that has been given by
Republican Congress- Idaho pro-
duces annually very close to 10000, 600
pounds of WOOL 1t produces the best

to that condition? That was unuer
Democratic free trade law and the
wool and sheep industries all over the
country were all but ruined. Do YOU
want to return to Wilson free trade

WHO is FOR HIM?

The national prchibitionists of the
country are against Roosevelt;i the So
cialists declare him a common enemy
to common people; the democrats re.
gard him as menace to government;
republicans know that he has been
a traitor to principles and party.
Who remains for him?
A few disgruntled and dissatisfied
aspirants for office, few trus, mag
mates like Perkins and locally the
Roosevelt movement is fathered by
GIBSON with the Capital News actine
as wet nurse and the Democratic party
officiating in the capacity of god

DIDN'T 1T?

Senator Dixon says that the pro-
gressive party did not come from
the bosses; it did not begin with the
leaders," -.
All of which is eminently correct in
so far as the public knows. 1t may
not have come from the bosses hut it
is noticeable that the bosses are "com-
ing through" for it to some extent.
The principal boss, of course, is Teddy
the third termer. and behind him Is
George w. Perkins, director Of the
Steel and other trusts.
It is quite true that the movement,
as interpreted by Dixon, Ibid not begin
with the leaders" but it will finish
and be finished by the real leaders
throughout the country.
The particular brand Of progress
ivism" as advocated by Roosevelt and
Perkins would hardly be quantity to
credit to any substantial leader, but
genuine "progressivism" origi mated with
Senator La Toilette and other great
leaders who are today, and always
have been, battling within the Reput-
lican party and not without it.
Roosevelt deliberately purlt ined the
word progressive for personal use on
ly. His record and his attitude are
both Numerically opposed to the
spirit of progress. He is an agi .ator
for retrogression if anything.
Roosevelt and his Bull Moose PRO

Notwithstanding that the movement
did not come from the Bosses
And Perkins is backing the whole
affair today. Perkins is a director OF

state central committee with issuing

BOOSTING A BAD RECORD

Twa years ago James H. Hawley
devoted all his energies and time dur
ing the campaign to maligning the
Republicans.l misrepresenting the ad-
ministraticn, claiming extravaganza
and all that sort of thing. but never
proved anything. He laid great s.ress
on Governor Brady's military depart
ment and the fact that they spent
$500 for dinner. and built his cam
paign on the most trivial items, and
not without success. for he found many
to listen to the plea of prejudice. T.
included the Mackay Gam in his list
and on every hand used it in build
ing buncombe against the Republican
ticket. He desired all sorts of revi-
sion, including taxation, and very Ii
tie escaped him. He worked-cver ev-
erything to satisfy his political pur-
pose. q
But you don't hear much of him
this campaign. He is steering very
shy of Republicans, and in many in
stances is patting them On the back.
He does not want to engage in argu-
ment with them inasmuch ashe stands
suilty of the identical things which
he charged against the Republican
party two years ago, and he is extra.
ordinarily on the defensive, with a
poor defense at that. He has been
proven guilty of gross extravaganza, il
Encouragement of state affairs, OF
tax extortion and of maintaining in
competent departments under his di
rect appointment
He has not made good on a single
pledge or promise given the people
two years ago. The state has beer
operated on an extravagant basis ant
many Of the funds are exhausted, and
he has INDUCED in good many joy
rides through various parts of tn
country, and proper accounting rs

He has taxed people to the limi

mon right in that he did not use OF
