BUSINESS hENCON-
F|DENT OF VICTORY
Weyerhauser Interests De
rended Against SANDER
Gus Attack.

In all parts of Ada county the legis-
lative ticket Endorsed by the business
interests of the county is receiving en-
thusiastic support. The high character
and ability of the candidates appeals
to all classes and indications are they
will be nominated by handsome ma
jority next Tuesday.
A Stab From Behind.
A screed published recently in sew
eral papers in Ada county makes a
vicious attack on the legislative ticket
Endorsed by the business interests of
the county. 1t bears no Endorsement
and is worthy of its cowardly parent
age. The screed, however, contains the
names of several Republican and DEM
ocratic candidates for the legislature,
who, should, it seems in order to pre-
serve their self respect, deny all con-
nection with the scandalous screed.
Nobody signed the screed but a large
number of the most prominent bust
ness and professional men of Ada
county signed the appeal to our candi-
dates to stand for the legislature.
Who dares father the screed? Speak
up, somebody.
One neal Dtnerence.
One signal difference exists between
the other candidates for the legislature
and those of the business interests; the
former are self nominated the other
are drafted to serve against their will
and in opposition to their financial and
social interests. Only a sense of duty
could prompt such men as Messrs.
Fraser, Northrop, Davis, Koelsch.
Coughlin, Sweet, Brasie, Gardner and
Atwater, to accept a position on the
legislative ticket 1t was only after
they had been personally visited by
committee of leading business men of
Ada county and earnestly solicited. al
most demanded, that they should al
low their names to be used, that they
made reluctant consent That they
should be attacked after all this self
sacrlhce on their part by an irrespon-
slbie party who has not the courage to
sign his name to his attack, is unfortu
nate in the extreme. However, the
voter readily understands this and such
attacks result finally In increasing the
vote for the self sacrificing candidates.
Weyerhsusers Wanted.
In their excess of zeal the opposition
toned went out of their way to take a
sap at the Barber Lumber company,
the Weyerhauser interests. This com
pany at present is employing about 500
men In building railroad to get at the
vast resources of Idaho timber up
bolse river and in the Boise basin.
When once the wheels of their mills
begin to turn they will employ many
hundreds more. All this makes a fine
payroll for the laboring men. We did
all we could to get this companv tn
resume operations here and want more
like enterprises started that we NAV
nave big payroll in Ada county. YET
this company comes in for an attack
on part OF the class of men who are on
posed to the business interests candi-
dates Tor the legislature. VIII the In
