AILSH|f STORY
NOT AUTHORIZED
BY THE LEAGUE
Superintendent Herwig De-
clares Article in New Re-
public Does Not Reflect
Anti Saloon Sentiment.

Disclaiming any responsibility for
the appearance in the last issue of the
New Republic, the Anti Saloon League
and prohibition publication, of laud-
atory article Of James +. Ailshie, one
OF the four Republican candidates for
United States senator, and asserting
that it was inserted in the Idaho de-
partment of that paper without his
knowledge and consent W. j. Her
wig, superintendent of the Saloon
League last night issued a statement in
which he fatty declared that had the
Ailshie story been presented to him
he would have turned it down.
This, apparently, is not the first re-
quotation of an Ailshie article. Infor-
nation has been received here from
Pocatello that the local camp there of
the Woodmen of the World, issued a
statement condemning the publication
of an article laudatory of the former
chief justice, now political candidate
in this state, in the official magazine
of that order. This statement was in
the form of a resolution unanimously
passed by the Pocatello camp and is
severe in it's condemnation. 1t states
in effect that the lodge is not in politics
and that the publication of the article
in the official magazine of the order
is an imposition on the lodge and its
members as well as to the order gen.
orally over the state.
