OF JOHN EAGLESON

The right of John w, Easleson. Re-
publican. treasurer-elect of Idaho to
assume office as the legally nomin
ated and elected treasurer of this
state will be attacked in the courts.

OF this state have been employed as
counsel to contest the right of Mr..
Eagleson to take office and that pa-
pers in an action are now being
drafted which will within a short
time be filed in the courts.
The action will be based on the
grounds that Mr.. Eagleson's nom.
nation in the first instance was null
and void and of no effect in that the
state central committee of the Re-
publican party without authority YES
ted in it by the laws placed him in
nomination after the date for certifi-

There is romance about circus.
there Is glitter and a certain amount
|of glamor which may conceal other
things of just as great Importance.
And usually the glitter and the glamor
achieve their object--for one great fea-
ture of the circus business is usually
overlooked, the great business organi-
zation which II really is and the neces-
sity for constant betterment which rs
always present. And really after the
other features OF the circus have been
gone over. the business side OF the
life is worth booking into.

the more persons you put on the

devices which give the great organi-

Just for instance. there is the fool.

OF the Sells-Fioto circus. In the years
that have gone. men have been killed
by the Mapping tongue OF some wagon

Curtis invented one that was even

And when you have seen that, watch

seem to go into the air-no men are
