the Irrigation companies, is becoml-
ing more evident every day, and
the drastic measures being reSOrted
to, by the other members OF the
Board augmented by these same
irrigation companies to defeat the
present governor for recollection, is
disgrace upon thc State and it,
Land Board, who are supposed to
he the guardians of the settlers
rights instead Of the willing tools
OF the corporations.
~ To- whether these same land
hoard members, realizing that the
cau-r OF their great corporation
leader, Mr. liainr~, l. absolutely
lost, and tAcy lave combined with
Mr.. Martin, the Progressive
candidate for Governor in an at
tempt to defeat Mr.. Hawlcv, we are
not prepared to state, but circum-
stances would warrant H. assuming
A. much.
1t iS rather peculiar situation
+ when MIR. Martin, whose home l.
n i'm the northern county Of the state,
i where an irrigation ditch is not
=. known, would for-ake his ac-
=. custnmcd fields to come down into
- the irrigation districts of southern
~ Idaho and spend the greater part OF
e his campaign telling the Carey Ac'
,e people what they should have an'
how ne proposed to get it for them
,e Another thing peculiar l. the fac
: that Mr.. Martin seems to he posted
A. on the inner workings of the Lane
es Beard, and while in the King Hill
Ie district, he seemed to lay grea
H. stress ON the fact that the lam
rs board had indefinitely deferred tn
he hearing Of their case, laying tn
nj entire blame on Gov. Hawley. /

''' In making this declaration Il

the other members of the Boa
