A DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS

Moses Alexander, the merchant o.
Boise, and the regular Democratic, gu
bernatorial candidate, is expected i'll
Blackfoot next Monday for public
address. Nose is the only man whom
a number of Democratic bosses be-
lieve can lead them to victory, and
Notwithstanding he has suffered one
defeat for his party, he seems willing
and anxious to make the run again,
and if the Bull Moosers who elected
James Hawley can be rallied together
again there may be a charm in his
third attempt.
James H. Hawley and John Nugent
are also expected to be present to
help Mr. Alexander in his efforts to
enthuse the Democrats of Blackfoot
and vicinity.

HOME BUILDERS

L. R. Aldrich and A. B. Stephens
have commenced the erection of an,
other new cottage in the Temple bloch
which they will offer for sale when
completed. These gentlemen have
built several residences in Blackfoot
which they have sold at prices that
have found ready buyers. The last
one they built was bought by Mrs
Boyd. The growth of the city of Blacl
foot has long been materially retarded
by a dirth of habitable places 'oi

built there will be no increase in the
population of Blackfoot.

the Bank OF commerce. note was
given by a Harrison factory. Then
O'Neil pretended to sell the hotel
to one Mike Wall and took six notes
for $4,000 each for it from him. These
notes O'Neil turned over to the Wal
lace bank and he credited him
self with $4,000.
Later the notes he said were givea
back to Wall and O'Ncil gave his per
sonal notes. Then he traded the hotel
to one Eaton for the timber land.
O'Neirs Indebtedness at the bank
was $136,O0O according to Wayne and
in the settlement Of O'Neil's assets
amounting to slightly over $4,000 he
was only able to pay his creditors
s $40 mills on the dollar. "rhey
say that O'Neil has always been hon
est, just and generous sarcastically
declared Wayne. "The hand that is
in everybody else's pocket can bd gen.

tribution but what he charged it NJ

the money from the bank. Not long
ago a bootblack up there told me he
had figured up from the lists Of saw
ings deposits with the banks that
every time O'Neil had taken the boys
to the circus It had cost the depOsi

Spent Thousands on Candidacy
Wayne charged O'Neil's indebted.
ness was always covered up by falsi-
fications. His theory was the de-
positors should furnish the ships and
he would furnish the ocean, said
Wayne, who charged that even when
O'Neil organized the Bank Of Com
merce he did it on fraudulent tran
saction and that in the panicy days he
credited his accounts with $4,000 to
make his reports look good.
He spent $4,000 Of the banks
money in his campaign for governor. :"
said Wayne. ''The records of the state
will show he certified to spending but
$500. William X. Shissler was his
manager. O'Neil opened his political
account with an overdraft He got
1886, 900 of the banks money. He used
the bank TO cover up all his losses.
Yes, he was honest in that when the
bank failed he left the fixtures, vaults
and safe. The vouchers show he paid
Allen Haynes of the Inland Herald OF
Spokane $2O,450 to help his political
campaign. Frank Roach also helped
manage his campaign.
"O'Neil was a third owner in the

The application Of B. F. O'Neil, the
Wallace banker now serving term
in the state penitentiary, for full
and complete pardon, was taken un-
der advisement last Monday by the
state board Of pardons following a
hearing that lasted all morning and
part Of the afternoon. 1t was stated
after the hearing by Governor Hcines
that the board wished to go into the
record to clear up a number Of points
in the case before reaching a definite
decision on the application. O'Neil's
case was presented by Robert e. Nc
Farland and was opposed by James A.

for shoshone county. L. G. Wilson.

president and for the falsificatjon Of
the report to the state bank commis-
s1onee, OF which he was convicted. waa
present as special representative Of
the board Of commissioners tof Sho-
shone county.
The hearing on O'Neil's application
did not lack in interest or. in fact,
excitement. 1t was punctuated with
charges that q rich mans lobby was
being conducted in Boise to keep the
convicted Wallace banker In the peni-
Tertiary: that O'Neil had been crook
ed and dishonest in the manipulatfons
Of the affairs Of the bank he is al
legged to have wrecked and that
even when he organized the Bank OF
Commerce he did 90 on a false and
FRAUDULENT transaction. Many other
similar allegations were made. The
sarcastic inference was left with tho
board that O'Neil was only honest in
this, that when the Bank Of Com
merce failed, he left the fixtures, ths
vaults and the safe.
False Representation
In protest to the petition and In re-
ply to Attorney Mcfarland, Attorney
Wayne outlined his argument by fol-
lowing the plea for pardon as con-
tanned in the petitions circulated and
signed. He claimed there had been
false representation in the circulation
of the petitions, one of which he
pointed out was the statement O'Neil
had turned over all his property te
the bank which had made it possible
