American people; if you believe
he is exerting himself thai condi-
tions may be better for us all
then show your confidence by your
vote in November.
Let me ask you another ques-
ton: If President Wilson were
running for reelection would you
vote for him? If this question
is propounded to a man or woman
who has no SPECIAL interest to pro-
tcct, no special privileges which
he desires to enjoy, no ex to
grind, no advantage which he de-
sires to take; if he asks for him
self only a fair deal and is willing
to grant the same to his neighbor,
then l believe your answer to the
above question would be YES,
would vote for Wilson," i Now, if
that be true, and you would vote
Tor President Wilson, then let me
ask this question:; Do you not be-
lieve it fair and just to President
Wilson, and fair and just to the
state of Idaho and yourself, that
you send men to congress who
will assist President Wilson in
accomplishing the things which
he is attempting for the good Of
the American people? Do you
realize that a change of a few
seats in the United States senate
would make that body republican,
instead of democratic? and if that
should come to pass, it would be
impossible to pass legislation in
behalf of the whole people? that
every measure advocated by the
President of the United States,
which looked to the welfare Of the
common people, would meet de-
feat at the hands of a republican
senator Do you further realize
that the republican who is asking
for your vote for United States
senator at the coming election,
Hon. James II. Brady, voted
against every measure advocated
by President Wilson and passed
by democratic congress which
had for its object the relief of the
American people as a whole2
Take as an illustration, the cur
rency act. An act destined to re-
organize the banking system Of
the United States; an act which
will make bankers panics impos-
sible. There could not be another
1873, 1898 or 1907 and 'OS under
that act; an act which places the
control of the money in the hands
OF the people instead Of with the
banks; an act which provides for
farm loans, a thing impossible
under the old national banking
laws. Under this act a farmer can
borrow money upon hi farm from

All these powerful forces and it,
fuences we're used against him.
But better than all these forces
combined, the little fellow had as
his champion the President Of
the United States, a great man
with a great mind and a broad
vision. A man with a clear I'M
derstanding of governmental
principles, a man who believed in
fair play and right and Justice,
& man who was willing that every
man should be prosperous and
that capital should earn a fair
profit; but a man who was unwill-
ing to permit combined capital
and tremendous wealth to use its
rower and influence unjustly. He
was willing that big business
should have what is fair and just
and no more. He denies to trusts,
corporations, special interests and

sending men who will fight every

Mr.. Voter, if you believe in this
legislation, and believe it was
PASSED in the interests of the peo-
pie at large; if you blive in Pres
ident Wilson, in his honesty, sin

you believe rs energies and efforts

Of his country and his people,
then l ask you, irrespective OF
party, will you show your conf
dence in him and approval of his
policies and plans by voting for
a United State senator and mem
Oers of the house of representa-
tives who are in accord with the
President and will uphold his
hands and aid him in consummat-
ng the great plans he has for the
American people?
If, at the coming election, re-
.publicans are sent to Washing
ton, President Wilson must of
necessity feel that the people of
the staet of Idaho ar not in sym
pathy with him or his forts. He
must Of necessity feel that the
people of this state do not believe
that such national lgislation as
the currency bill, the income tax,
parcel post, tariff regulation,
government aid in moving crops,
and many others are passed in the
interests of the people and for
their welfare.
Then, again, Mr.. Voter, you
must certainly realize that during

but desperate battle. II has been

Pioneer Merchants

SHELTON and Warren is the
pioneer firm of the city. They
came here fifteen years ago next
month. At that time there were
only five houses in what is now
ST. Maries and not to exceed
twenty-five actual residents.
They have seen St. Maries grow
from hat small hamlet to a city
of twenty-five hundred people. At
that time there was no railroad
and the only communications with
the outside world was by foot and
that occasionally, and practically
the only outsiders they saw were
hunters and trappers and now and
then a prospector or cruiser.
They have kept pace with the
growth of the place ana now have
one of the leading general stores
in the city and carry a stock OF
twenty or twenty-five thousand
dollars.

The people should make no
mistake at the polls this year. For
eighteen months President Wilson
has ben using the tremendous
power OF his office in behalf Of
the American people as a whole.
The Democratic platform at Bal
timore solemnly pledged that par
~, il successful, to legislate in
the interests of the masses-cOm-
mon peOple-not classes. Dur
ing the entire time of Wilson'S
administration he and a Demo-
cratic congress have ben devot-
ing their energies to the redemp-
ton of those platform pledges
and the passing of such legisla-
ton rs will be beneficial for the
people at large. Here are some
of the things already accomplish
ed:
An income tax, to shift the
burden of taxes from the poor to
the rich.
A currency revision to prevent
bankers panics and place money
in the control of the people.
A revision of tariff downward.
Human life and human blood
held more sacred than property in
our dealings with Mexico.
American merchant marine es-
tablished without subsidies.
A lobby in the interests of un-
congress.
Panama canal completed.
Alaska railway authorized and
work begun.
The selection Of United States
senators by direct vote.
Parcels post extended and rate:
reduced.
Postal system made self-sup-
porting.

his bank, based upon a so per cent
valuation and running for not to
exceed five years. It is an act
which gives to the Regional oBard
power to issue money, when oc-
casion arises, in unlimited guam
titles; it is an act which provides
an elastic currency to NEE changed
conditions; it is an act which will
make history in our national
progress. It is a democratic act
in behalf of a democratic people.
The Hon. James H. Brady, in
an address before the Boise Com
mercial club, delivered at a lun-
cheon on the 23rd day of Septem-
Der, 1913, at Boise, Idaho, highly
commended the currency act stat
ing that it would be a great bene-
fit to the west and place much
money in circulation, and solemn
! ly promised the people of this
state that when he returned to
Washington he would vote for it..
Some unexplained influence
caused him to forget his promises
made at that time, and when he
was called upon to vote upon the
currency act before the United
states senate, the congressional
record shows that he voted
against it. You will find this gem
tieman's vote was so recorded up
on every important measure in
PRODUCED in congress which was
destined to RELIEVE the condition
of the American people. Senator
Brady had a right to vote as he
pleased, but when he voted
against the interests of the people
of the state of Idaho he forfeited
his right to ask for their suffrage
end to ask its people to return
him to hte high Office of United
States senator.
Hon. James H. Brady can rem
Ger no service to the people of
Idaho when he places PARTISAN
ship above the welfare of our cit
liens and demonstrates time and
again, as he has, that he is not
in sympathy with the common
people and the things they desire.
1t is a sad reelection upon the
$ ate of Idaho that its United
States senator's and members Of
the house of representatives have
placed party politics above ma
nional welfare and during the
past eighteen months voted upon
all measures against President
Wilson and his administration.
This is particularly true when we
consider the period through which
we have just gone; a period when
the world is involved in the blood
lest war of all ages; when the

commendable example in public spirit
and patriotism to those who desire to

in our sister republic Of Mexico but
also in our sister state of Colorado.
The fast departing members of the

Beulah, N. NJ, June 15.-Most flat
tering prospects all through this
part of the country for a bountiful
harvest. We have had an abundance
of rain which has fallen in gentle
showers, and at intervals, to suit the
growing crops. or course, with SO
much moisture the range for stock
is ideal, we can compete with the
eastern markets in beef, and doubt
less at a lower figure.
For once, the spring months have
passed without the killing of single
bear on the Sapello. Perhaps this is
owing to the fact that the county pays
no bounty for scalps.
