thing that comes up, and finally to
take stand on it, he is a logical
man for the position he seeks. Bing-
ham county knows him and knows
him we'll, and at this time Bingham
county has a chance to name the dis
trict judge, for it is the big populous
county in this contest for the judge
ship. There are many advantages
in having our home man on the
bench and at home in our county,
for if he were living in an inaccess-
ible inland town and it were neces-
sary to ring up or make trip over
there every time something urgent
came up for presentation to the dis
trict judge it would be great in
convenience to people in this county.
Blackfoot is far more accessible to
the scattered population of Custer
and Lomhi counties than Salmon
City is to Custer and Bingham with
the denser population.
Mr.. Hansbro gh is the home man.
He is one of us. His home and prop
erty interests are here, and while,
from what we know of him every
man and every woman in the judicial
district will receive at his hands and
in his court an absolutely square
deal, yet this is the home of his
choice; his pulse beats with the peo-
pie of Blackfoot and Bingham
county. Let us vote for our home
man!

WILLIAM NJ. MORGAN

Of the second judicial district, who
has been a life long Republican and
who has the longest unbroken record
of service of any district judge in
Idaho, having served sixteen consecu-
tive years on the bench, and who will
this fall be reelected by large ma
jority, makes the following comment
on the candida ~ of William M. Nor

Grangeville, Idaho, September 26,

Ralph w. Adair, the candidate of
the Progressive party for county at
ytorney, won his spurs in the active
practice of the law in the state of
Kansas, fighting the legal battle of
the Law and Order League when the
fight resolved itself into a question
of law enforcement, with public senti-
ment back of the laws and the Grim
inal element opposing them
He began the practice of the law
twelve years ago and in 1908 he took
up government work, continuing that
Tor six years, until he became asset

While engaged in the government
work he handled a great deal of
money in small sums, amounting to
over one hundred thousand dollars.

counting.
Mr.. Adair is man of good charact-
er, gentlemanly and courteous. and
one who makes friends wherever he
goes. If elected he will have no
favorites to screen, no enemies to per-
secute, no prejudices to vent. and
will do his best to fill the place of
the prosecuting attorney and the
grand jury according to the plan con-
templated by the trainers of our state
constitution.

DATE FOR DISTRICT JUDGE

During the se,e"al months Mr.
Hansbrough has been before the peo-
pie as a candidate for the nomination
for district judge, ana as candidate
for election, we have not heard a
charge OF dishonesty or anything to
detract from his high character ana
standing except some charges which
were quickly traced to character
assassin in Blackfoot. The charges
were untrue, and when the fellow
found they were on his trail with
proof of it, he promptly quit.
Mr.. Hansbroughs long residence
and active practice of the law IN

dealing and successful practice in the
courts and especially the higher
courts, are assurance of his clean

HAINES PETERSON MEETING

Governor Ha1neS and Attorney
General ]. H. Peterson spoke at the
Orpheum, Tuesday evening. The
governor stated in the beginning that
he was not gifted as public speaker
and merely wanted to talk to the
audience about some of the matters
deserving consideration at the hands
of the people in this campaign. His
talk had the ring of business man
who talks business and appreciates
what it means TO make goo on every
statement. He reviewed some of the
statements made by his opponent for
'office, and refuted them, showing
that Mr.. Alexander's wealth of words
and random statements are not bas-
ed upon knowledge of what is real
ly intended to be done and on what
has been done. He reviewed the tax
levy of many counties and said the
reduction for the year 1914 varies
in the different counties, and cited
one in the north where it has been
cut down more than half. He does
not claim all the credit there is for
improved conditions, but generously
stated that the local boards had CO.
operated in cutting down expenses
in all lines and the sum total of saw
ing where this spirit had been shown
was a very substantial saving. He
said he had not been in town long
enough to get the information as to
what this county has done in tax re-
duction, but that it is live subject
over the state, and one that for the
first time in the states history show
ed substantial trend downward.
Attorney General Peterson made
strong appeal to maintain an inter-
est in all the rights of citizenship,
He reviewed the subject of Republics
and showed that a republican form
of government is not new, that they
have been tried in ancient times and
were successful only so long as the
mass of the people took an interest
in politics, and when that ceased
the government became corrupt and
then went into the hands of those
who made it monarchy of some
kind. That We are not more intelli-
gent nor more capable of conducting
our own government than some of
the peoples of the past who have
failed in the experiment of popular
government, and that activity in
be the price of good government, and
that the duty of every one is to study
the question before us and to 90 to
the polls and vote our individual
opinions regardless of what others
may be doing in the same hour.

Meeting Of
The Council

A contract for the settlement of
the troubles arising from the Batway
ditch was considered and referred
to the street and alley committee.
James Young registered a protest
against allowing street takers to
block the walks either with their
goods or by the crowds assembling
about them and the council decided
that no privileges should be granted
which would interfere with the rights
and wishes of the property owners
, or occupants of the buildings
Wrecked Car Wheel
A communication from Albert Mil
| Ter regarding a car wheel which he
broke by running into an open ditch
made for laying water mains, was
received. 1t was found that the ditch
was not under red light at the point
where the damage was done and that
it was not on a street.
For the Woodman Band
Permission was granted to the
Woodman band to build a locker in
the City hall for their instruments.
Some BOOtlegging
The council had little talk about
booze, and it was agreed that boot
Logging is increasing. O'Neal said
he thought they had made a mistake
when they did not pass the stringent
ordinance last spring giving the city
officials power to handle them. Davis
said he agreed with that. Somebody
else suggested that it can be taken
up at any time.
Some Sewer Problems
In regard to making sewer con-
nections on Court street, between
Ash and Taylor, the council decided
to adhere strictly to the original
sewer plans and require connections
to be made on the laterals and not
on the main.
Guarding the Ruins
In regard to the payment of bills
filed for watching the ruins for six
days after the burning of the Handy
Kitchen and the Hughes Jewelry
store, the council decided that the
city had made mistake in employing
the guard, but having done it they
were bound to pay the bills.
Some Electrical Figures
The board received a letter from
Richard Lyman, an engineer of Salt
Lake City, giving a rough estimate
OF the cost of an electrical plant.
Building Permits

$4,000.

temperament, and ! believe him in
every way qualified for justice of the
supreme court of this state, to which
position he aspires.
Very respectfully,

things that it is too big to do.

men. On November third the voters
of Idaho will elect Judge TRUTHS

After a Lot of Talk BY Maghates,
Tom Seaton Will Pick His Job.


Burning words being emitted by
Federal League magnates and direc-
tors as to what will be done with Tom
Seaton, who signed a contract to
pitch for the local third leaguers,
make interesting reading, if one has
trouble in getting to sleep.
But for the actual weight they will
have on deciding what Seaten will
eventually do, the magnates might as
well turn off the record.
President Gilmore says Seaton
must go to Brooklyn. The Wards
say they must have Seaton as part
of the agreement which induced
them to buy into the circuit. Presi-
dent Weeghman of the Chifeds, who
is acting in an impartial and sports
manlike manner in the dispute, says
he will do whatever is decided to be
to the best interests of the league.
Walter Ward a younger member of
the family that owns the Brooklyn
team, in company with Bill Bradley,
went to Gulfport yesterday to dicker
with Seaton. Tom said he wanted
to stay in Chicago.
Thereupon the young Mr.. Ward
became hot under the collar and
made dark and fearsome threats
about having Seaton suspended with
out pay Just how he was going to
do it the young man didn't explain.
Probably he isn't experienced in base
l. l. L. i
one club owner having another clubs
player suspended without pay would
sound humorous, even to him. -
This wild talk made Seaton sore,

the coming campaign is Tom Seaton
himself. He holds the whip hand.

II know that Is true as a general
thing, but this case was different.
You see, there was a lull in the work
at our Office. and we girls gathered
about the draftsman's board, and we
were gossiping there. Finally I crossed
my arms on the board and put my
head upon them and closed my eyes
