THE BACK-FIRE ON PENCE

Rendered desperate by the over
whelming assurances of Republican
victory on November third, the Demo-
cratic state committee at Boise yes
terday, on the very eve of the great
election, perpetrated an act which for
perfidy and low politics has never been
euualled in the state of Idaho and
which good and decent Democrats all
over this commonwealth instantly and
indignantly repudiated Honorable men
in every party will recoil with shock
from the disgraceful course taken by
the Democratic state committee in
Boise. The disreputable thrust which
was meant to strike the great Repub-
lican party of Idaho a death-blow will
react with doubled fury upon the
Democratic organization.
The distortion of truth, the misrep-
resentation of facts which yesterday
emanated from the Democratic state
chairman's office will be the biggest
boost for Governor Haines and the
Republican administration which they
have ever had. The real Democrats IN
Idaho believe in fair play. They will
not tolerate the shocking tactics of
men hitherto supposed to be honor
able.
We refer to the contents of the brief
telegram signed by J. T. Pence, chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee at Boise, and sent out late yester-
day afternoon to the various Demo-
cratic organizations in the state, in
which, three weeks after the original
was written, the contents of letter
from Senator Borah to State Chairman
Day are distorted, misinterpreted, and
put to the base use of giving the utter
ly false impression that Senator Borah
has repudiated the national and state
Republican ticket.
Senator Borah has not repudiated
the state and national Republican tic
ket
Senator Borah will not do so.
There is no conceivable reason for
his doing so.
His three weeks old letter to State
Chairman Day refers to the now-fa-
nous Allen loan and has no reference
to defalcations in the state treasurer's
office.
At~the time Senator Borah wrote the
letter in question no. one knew OF the
defalcations. Allen had not been ar
rested. had not confessed, had not
been sent to the penitehtiary by Gov
ernor Hainess formal charge.
The telegram of Mr.. Pence is a base
and desperate struggle to get votes for
the Democratic ticket by garbling and |
contemptibly distorting the contents of
a letter which properly expresses the
strong condemnation of the senator
for misconduct in office and recon-
mends that punishment be visited up
on the doors of wrong, not on scape-
goats.
Subsequent events have demonstfa-
ted that the Senator's plea for fear
less probity was in complete accord
with the views and policy of the state
Republican committee. Swift punish
ment fell upon the guilty official.
Nothing was condoned, nothing hush
ed up, or CLOSED over.
At the very earliest moment when
the proper legal procedure was learn ,
ed. the state Republican committee
took off of the ticket the name of the
one and only person in any respect
or. degree responsible for the condl-
lions in the state treasurer's office.
The Republicans have kept faith with
The people. .D..
Senator Borah has not repudiated
he ticket.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The
Republican senators met in caucus
today and had under discussion the
matter of adjournment. Men of
both parties are anxious to leave
Washington and the caucus declared
against any further blocka1ing OF
the business before Congress. Sen
ator Smoot announced that the Re

many Democrats and it is now
thought that adjournment can pc

about given up hope of getting an

Link Vain is now chief of police
of Cordova. The agitation in the
police department that has been in
evidence for the past few weeks was
Council at a meeting last night. A
motion was first offered that the
action of the mayor in suspending
the chief and appointing special
patrolman be endorsed. This pre-
vailed by the votes of Messrs.
Goodall, Currier, Tom Davis and
Boyle. Two opposing votes were
cast, those of E. J. Davis and Henry
Slater. Mr.. Davis explained that he
felt very friendly to Mr.. Vain and
would be- CAD to vote for him were
the circumstances different A
motion to accept the resignation of
Chief of Police Henneke and declar-
ing the office vacant prevailed by the
same vote. Mr.. Thos. Davis took
the floor when the first motion was
offered and explained his position.
Without going into the merits of the
case he believed that matters had
reached such stage that there
could no longer be harmony either
in the Council or among the parti-
sans of the town by continuing the
old chief in office. While in many
ways he considered him very
capable and efficient official he did
not believe that the best interests Of
the town would now be served by
continuing him in office, and that by
making a change the troubles would
soon be forgotten and peace would
be restored. Nominations for Chief
of Police were then declared in
order and Link Vain was the only
name presented. A ballot was taken
resulting in four votes for Vain,

FARMERS Of IOWA
ATTENDING SCHOOL
LARGE NUMBER ENROLLED 1T
THE ANNUAL SHORT COURSE
AT THE STATE COLLEGE.

Ames, Dec. 31.-From every county
in the state, Iowa farmers, their sons,
daughters and wives, 500 strong, came
Monday to attend the annual farmers

gan it's eleventh annual session Mon

Iowa seed corn where received by H. l..
Lichling, secretary of the association,
as entries in the prize contests, with
equally large representation of the
small grains and alfalfa. With the
corn show but a few hours old. the
number of entries greatly exceeded
the total list of year ago. 1--WE will
have the biggest corn and grain show
in the history of the state,' said Sec
rotary Eichling. There is keen inter-
est and lively competition in the con-
test for the $4,000 worth of prizes that
will be awarded.

chanics and laborers had registered for

General Ortega acting under direct

the rebel troops and the fighting must
be almost hand to hand before the gov

the slogan under which the federals
entered the battle today. Today's
fighting must mean death or flight in

Dear Sirs:
The union eVangelistic campaign un-
der the leadership of Dr. French E. Oh
liver Of Kansas City and his corps OF
assistants closed one week ago. The
Ministerial association is highly pleas
cd with the results of the campaign.
There is a splendid feeling Of harmony
among the churches. Members as we'll
as ministers have become acquainted,
and as we resume work in our indiVid-
ual places we know that there are
brothers and sisters in other folds Avho
are interested in our success.
The work of last Sunday plainly
shows that the enthusiasm createe Sur
ing the meetings has not died down,
but is going to tell in the months to
come in lives more deeply cOnseCrated,
and in larger service to our fellows.
DR.. Oliver is a strong evangelistic
preacher Of the word. He does not hes
itate to declare the whole truth and to
fit it to the lives of men. His sermons
will bear fruit in all our lives.
The immediate results were $50 who
either began the Christian life for the
first time or who determined to seek a
more vital Christian experience.
The offering to. DR.. Oliver and his
helpers amounted to $1,000.
