claims that Parker, York and
Adair are not democratic candi-
dates because they were nomina-
ted by republican votes in the
primary election. A. F. may try
to square his conscience in this
way but as the three legislative
candidates received between 200
and 400 more DEMOCRATIC votes
in the primary election than both
Green and Knorr combined, to
say nothing of the republicans
who voted for them, we fear
Bro. Parker's statement will not
bear close investigation. He also
says that if Parker, York and
Adair are sent to Boise they will
work entirely for county division
and Will let all other matters of
Importance to county and state
be neglected, or words to that
effect. This is only some more of
A. F.'s hot air dope. Had it not
been for E. L. Parker in the leg

county would still be without it's
state bridge across the Salmon
river at Golf. When this bill
came up for passage in the house
it was vigorously attacked and it
was Parker, and not the two
Grangeville representatives, who
sprang to his feet and made the
appeal which turned the tide in
favor of the bridge bill. Idaho

Parker, York and Adair whether

not. Harchelrode was a blank in

knows how to get results at Boise

results as any new men who will

The republican organs are max
ing a great show of the back
bone' exhibited by Governor
Haines when he swore to the
warrant for the arrest of Allen,
state treasurer and self-acknowl-

exhibited by the governor in this
particular instance is that of the
cornered rat which fights when
it is impossible to run away. If

The remarks of Attorney Ling.
enfelter, representing Allen at
the arraignment of the latter for
sentence before Judge Bryan, in
dicates that an agreement had
been made that Allen was to get
the minimum sentence only,
which is from a year to ten years
in the penitentiary. The con-
ferees, however, reckoned with
out Judge Bryan, the Canyon
county jurist, who in passing
sentence refused to recognize
any such agreement. 1t is pretty
we'll understood in Boise that
Allen was persuaded to plead
guilty with the understanding
that he would be pardoned out
within a year, should the repub-
lican ticket be successful. In
this way Allen was prevented
from telling all he knows and the
state house ring spared the un-
certain outcome of a court trial.
Inc plans were not wholly de-
feated by the imposition of the
heavier sentence, as he can be
paroled if the republicans con-
tlnue their control of the pardon
board after election.
