LIQUOR QUESTION
IN LATAH COUNTY
PROHIBITION PARTY LEARNS 1T is
NO ISSUE IN THE PRESENT
CAMPAIGN
Practically All Legislative Candidates
Are in Favor OF "Dry1
Legislation

According to reports from a most
reliable source, the alleged wet and
dry issue in Latah county is a dead
number so far as the legislative candi-
dates are concerned and conclusively
demonstrates that no such issue ex-
lists in Latah county in the present
time, despite the endeavors in certain
quarters to inject the issue in the
present campaign.
E. r. Headley, candidate for COVER
nor on the prohibition ticket, sent to
candidates for the legislature on all
tickets in this county, letter asking
for an expression of their sentiments
with relation to the liquor question.
All who replied pledged themselves
to support and work for dry" legisla-
ton. Those from whom no replies
were received were Messrs. Trail,
Wall, Munson, Day, and MCGOWAN. In
the first two cases the Star-Mirror
could not reach them but in relation
to Messrs. Munson, Day, and MCGOWAN,
all expressed themselves today as not
having received the letters but that
they were in favor of dry legislation
and if elected would work and vote for
such legislation.

AT ALEXANDER
IN A SPEECH AT GENESEE LAST
NIGHT LAUDS THE WORK OF
GOVERNOR HAINES
Delivers Singing Rebuke to the Op.
position for SlanderOus Methods
Used

GENESEE, Oct. dangerously de-
nouncing the methods employed by the
opposition parties in their efforts to
discredit the Haines' administration,
declaring that the attacks made on
Governor Haines over the Allen matter
were unfair and not in keeping with
his noble efforts to preserve the digni-
ty and welfare of the state in prompt
ly meeting the situation, emphasizing
the fact that by his courageous stand
at time when he is up for reelection
sonal and party interest, appealing to
the voters of the state to support the
Governor and the republican ticket
as a slap at the slanderous methods
of the opposition, M. E. Lewis, de-
feated republican primary candidate
for governor delivered a ringing and
urgent address to the people to sup
port the Haines' administration with
their votes next Tuesday, when he ad-
dressed large and enthusiastic aud
ience here last night.
Mr.. Lewis dwelt at length in an
swering the illogical arguments OF M.
Alexander and paid splendid tribute
to the character and personality of
Governor Haines, whom he character
lied as while not brilliant or snowy,
has been conservative and safe at all
times"
He talked at length on the tax
problems and quoted statistics and
data to disprove the distorted state
ments that had been circulated by the
opposition The address was one OF
the most clear and concise that has
been given in this community in the
present campaign and his remarks
were frequently punctuated with Wig
orous applause.

TRACK PROGRAM
AT THE VARSITY
IDAHO WILL CONTEST WITH w. S.
GIN CROSS-COUNTRY MARATH-
ON TOMORROW
Football Game Between SOphs and
Freshies AlsO-MarathOn VIII be a
Circuit of Az Miles

Washington State College and Ida
ho university athletes will meet to-
morrow afternoon at o'clock at the
university athletic field in it's annual
cross-country meet. Interest in the
event is pronounced and it is expected
that the attendance at the meet will be
large.
This is the first race of the marathon
type that has ever been staged in Mos
COW and promises to be close con-
test. The squad will cover 419-mile 4
circuit to the country and back. W..
S. C. is exceptionally strong in this
class of athletics and Moscow track
fans will no doubt see good exhibi-
ton.
During the contest there will be a
football game between the freshmen
and sophomores of the university
which will furnish plenty of interest
for the crowd An admission charge
of 25 cents will be made, the proceeds
derived to go toward buying blankets
for the first team. Graduate Manager
Favre has issued a cordial invitation
to the general public to attend the
meet.

NO TRACE OF WILSON

There were no new developments in
the search today for Frank Wilson, the
man who killed Edna Erickson Sunday
night at her home near Moscow and
the authorities are inclined to the be-
lief that he has slipped out of the
country.
w. C. Shawvey was sent out by the
sheriff's Office to search the woods in
the vicinity of the Erickson home, but
he found no trace of the fugitive. This
morning G. Coles little boy found a
magazine of an automatic gun con-
tanning Winchester bullets at the
orchard near the Erickson home and
the supposition is that Wilson lost the
magazine as he fled on the night OF the
murder.

Moose People in Boise Had Pos
session of State Furniture

BOISE, Oct. 30.-"I am prepared to
state positively" said State Treasurer
E. H. Dewey today, that the evid-
ence in my office, which l have care
full examined, points straight to the
parties guilty of looting the treasury,
and that they are none other than
those already in prison or under ar
rest. Their trial is absolutely plain
and unmistakable. The guilty re-
sponsibility rests with them and with
no others"
Laugh on Bull Moose
The laugh is going all over southern
Idaho at the expense of the Bull
Moose party. 1t seems that the old ac-
tiquated furniture of the old capitol
building was stored in the basement.
1t was under the sole charge of ex-
State Treasurer Allen who was Gus
todian of all state house property un-
der the law. 1t developed that he had
loaned some of it, principally desks,
to friends, with the understanding they
would return it when needed or
whenever it might be put up for sale.

The Bull Moose campaign commit
tee and it's newspapers have been ma
king lot of it for campaign purposes.
1t was played up stronger than they
played up the Allen embezzlement.
The thing fiattened out in a few days
but today it developed that Allen had
loaned a desk to M. E. Robinson, who
was state engineer under Governor
Hawley, and that Robinson had loaned
it to the Ada county Bull Moose COM
mittee in whose office it has been
since the campaign opened.

CONVICT NINE SWINDLERS
Chicago Mercantile Agency Was Ac-

Mails to Defraud,

Chicago.-Nine defendants accused
of using the mails to defraud in con-

camille Agency were found guilty by
a jury before Federal Judge Landis
They are: Abram H. Freeman, SUI

The government charged that more
than 1 million dollars had been real
lied by the company through its bus
mess methods The government con-
tended that the Barr & Widen Agency
would learn the names of creditors OF
bankrupts and then send them letters
agreeing to collect the claims, usual
ly suggesting that the bankrupt had
concealed assets. Large fees were
received and the creditors got little
returns
