Progressive Rally

Lapwai, Idaho, July 1S.-Resolu-
tions indorsing the state platform
were passed at a progressive rally
today at which 10 out of "a Nez
Perce county precincts were repre-
sented. A full county ticket will be
placed in the field the following
candidates being elected:
State Senator, N. H. Bundy, Gull
desac; Representatives, C. C. Miles,
Webb; and A. L. Glosecose, Arrow;
county commissioners, J. A. Ferris,
Lewiston; George S. Watson, Mel
rose, and Roy Southwick of South
wick; county auditor, R. N. Wright,
Lewiston; sheriff, E. J. Wyatt,
Snow; probate judge, 0. D. Burns,
Lewiston; assessor, Russell M.
Smith, Leland; county attorney, P.
E. Stookey, Lewiston; treasurer En-
ma Christensen, Rimrock; surveyor,
David Guilland, Lewiston.
Paul Clagstone, progressive can
didate for United States senator,
said: 'The progressive movement
is simply revolt against the bi-part-
izan machine which for many years
has conducted government for the
benefit of single groups of profess
sional politicians. We have had the
same system in Idaho an in all the
other states, counties and cities of
the country, except that in this state
the few men who controlled legisla-
tion and dictated nominations have
been slightly more rapacious and un-
scrupulous than elsewhere.
"The independent citizens were
helpless under both Republican and
Democratic rules, and are now flock
ing to the progressive party in a fin
al effort to secure popular govern
ment.
The few men of progressive ten
denotes left in the old parties are
absolutely powerless to effect re-
form, as evidenced by recent events,
such as the return of Boies Penrose
in Pennsylvania. Clean government
in the interest of the whole people
can only come through the joining
of forces in the progressive party
by thinking citizens formerly allied
with the old parties. This issue
may well outweigh all questions OF
mere expediency in spite of the ap
peal OF Republicans to save the
county from Democratic hard times
and in Idaho at least the progress
i've party should carry the state anc
most of the counties in the coming
election. Our platform is clear
and is backed by men who NEAR
what they say"

sledge and Cochran told him it
would be enough and thought he
heard and places his hand on top of

To the above evidence of fitness he
holds long and successful record
in every grade of public school
work from the kindergarten
through the university. In the var
ious positions of State Institute Con-
ductor, High School Principal, City
Superintendent and College Presi-
dent he has made an enviable record.
Two years ago he quit teaching
but the lure of the school room is
strong within him and while he
would not consider an offer to teach
elsewhere his home surroundings
make it especially pleasant for him
to take up the work of our schools
to which, he says, he will devote the
best years of his life and still enjoy
living at his home just beyond the
city limits.
He wishes to emphasize the fact
that first class instruction will be
provided for all students belonging
to the various grades and High
school work. Glasses will be main
tanned in the four years of the reg
ular High school course if there is
a single pupil desiring it. There
is no reason to send pupils out of
town for any grade of High school
work and pupils of the various
ridges tributary to Kendrick will
find it to their advantage to pat
ronize our own public schools, the
work of which will begin the 18th
day of September.

MUSICAL PROGRAM
RENDERED..BANQUET

Cameron, July o. Especial to
the Gazette) The entertainment
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Schultz at their home at Cameron,
was very marked success in honor
of the Lieder Kranz. The day was
started by all attending the Church
at Cameron after which the choir
and people followed to the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Schultz.
At high twelve dinner was served
by the host and hostess to. the choir
and the friends from Kendrick and

sixty plates were served with a
three course dinner and a most en-
joyable repast was partaken of.
After dinner was cleared away
the entertainment was enjoyed by
large crowd of over two hundred
people, from all over the entire
country, was present and the choir
rendered many songs that was very
appropriate and enjoyable co all. One
of the very noticeable facts was, that
the choir was not one bit stingy
with their entertainment as they
kept the singing up most of the
time so that the audience could have
the benefit of the class Of singing
that was most suited to their tastes.
If they wanted classic, melodies,
or comic, it was all served, and not
only few of each but many of
each kind of selections, and every
song that was sung was rendered
by mastersingers-and the time was
certainly a grand affair and wonder
fully enjoyed by all that were
present. At intervals the Rev.
George Finke gave a very touching
address to the ones there touching
on the effect that music has on the
soul and the wonderful amount of
good received from the congregation
of the people together on such oc-
casions that where the people gather
ed together for the purpose of good,
and enjoyable times, good must
result there from.
Prof. Baumgartle gave an address
in honor of the good and proficient
spread that had been enjoyed by the
choir and the guests complimenting
the hostess and her assistant Mrs.
Koepp, also the ladies that served
during the feast Misses Martha and
Frieda Finke, Martha Schissler and
Amanda Meyers.
The professor was very compli.
mentary on behalf of the Buffers of
the day, in which they handled the
crowd and gave satisfaction to to al
and special attention to each indiv'
idual. They consisted of Messrs
Becker, Ehlers, Ruch, Kreger, Sill
flow and Wegner.
Just before lunch was served at
p. m. the host requested that the
people assemble under the shade Of
the old locus tree on the east side Of
the house, which was done and {
picture was taken of the large crowc
there assembled.
After lunch was served more
songs were indulged in when {
majority of the visitors started fol
their homes announcing that the!
had one of the most enjoyable day
registered in their lives.
This was the largest crowd ant
most enjoyed affair ever held in tn
Potlatch country, and Mr.. and Mrs
Schultz has the appreciation of al
the days entertainment.
The hostess was assisted in thu
reception by Mrs. Finke ant
daughter.
