HIS HANDS NOT TIED.

4 casual remark is now and then
heard in other sections of the county
that Mr.. Geo. A. Bremen, of Jerome.
the democratic candidate for state
senator, is too young and inexperi-
enced TO be trusted with so import
ant an office, that he is not familiar
enough with politicians and Their
ways to accomplish anything. and
other remarks of like nature.
This is the very reason that this
young man has been put forward bv
his friends fer this important posi-
tion True. George is no politician
The fact is the state has suffered al
ready from too much politics and not
enough common sense, as the history
Of the last legislature will reveal.
You can rest assured that man who
is always seeking promotion along
political lines is closely identified
with the political machinery of the
party and is always ready to do their
bidding
Mr.. Bremen. as we have stated be-
fore. Is not identified with any poiiti-
cal ring or machine and If elected he
will 20 to the senate with his hands
unshackled, and will not be under
the dictation OF a few leaders of the
marty and be ready TO do their bid
ding. Those who have the pleasure
of Mr.. Bremers acquaintance give
him credit for having good common
SENSE and a mind OF his own. and be
ing a land holder on the North sid
tract and thus closely identified Will
the best interests of the farming
community. he realizes their need
and necessities and will take occasion
TO bring about better laws for thel
protection. instead of devoting hi
time to the building up of politlca
rings.
Mr. Bremen stands for a NOR
economical state administration tina
taxes may be reduced, and the enac
ment of more stringent laws for tn
nrotection of Carey Act settlers.
this the kind of a man you want
send TO the legislature? Then vo'
for Geo. A. Bremen.

Senator Gooding for Brady.

Former State Senator Fred w.
Gooding. of Shoshone. urges upon the
thinking people of Idaho the vital
Importance of returning Senator
Brady to congress. In a recent inter-
view, he said:
Il want to emphasize the import
ance of electing Senator Brady and
our candidates for congress. The
tariff question is not dead. The logic
of the position of the republican
party upon this issue has been ma
terially accentuated by democratic
legislation The so-called war tax"
is not war tax but democratic de-
felt tax. Ii would have been neces-
sary had there been no war. The
duty has been taken off of what the
farmer has to sell, but has been left
upon what he has to buy. The reduc-
ton of the tariff has been upon the
| finished products and not upon the
raw materials of the country. When
We recall that we are the producers
of raw material, the baneful effect
upon the west can easily be realized.
Some of the democratic leaders
are putting up the argument that
Governor Hawley should be elected
because he would be in touch with
the national democratic administra
tion and could accomplish more for
the state. This is a mistaken idea.
The democratic party, in my opinion.
is doomed for defeat two years from
now and it behooves Idaho to look
we'll to her interest Then even were
Governor Hawley elected. he would
probably do as democratic senators
from the west have done-be whip
ped into line, because of having pat
ronage withheld If he did not act
with the administration. Senator
: IBrady should be elected. He stands
for the policies the execution OF
which will be in supremacy two
years from now, and can do more for
his people than any democrat can
possibly do. He has won the fight
The majority of the people OF the
state have said decisively that he
are for him. His ideas upon the tar
y In question are sound and in har'
X mony with the party which has evel
Ie made prosperous times for American

1t is as inevitable as fate itself,
and even the armies on whose side it
battles turn away with awe and fear
before its awful havoc.
One shot, says the Berlin reports,
reduced the forts at Namur.
When 1t was directed agains Liege
after seven days of lighting, in two
hours that stronghold of Belgium
was a waste and turned to such a
scene of carnage that from it rushed
men drilled and trained to know the
terrors and horrors of war.
Here is what the German reports
say of the gun:
1t fires a projectile with accuracy
distance of IL miles.
So great is the concussion at the
point of firing that 1t is necessary to
construct subterranean chamber
100 yards away, for those who fire it
by an electrical device.
The projectile at Namur pierced
four walls believed TO be impregn-
able, lay silent for several seconds
and then exploded with such force
that every wall was leveled and the
great steel plates twisted like tin.
The gun was first invented eight
years ago, but was brought to its
present perfection only this year.
The Krupps defied the government
when a demand was made that army
officers be allowed to learn its sec
ret. The gun is fired by their trust
ed men, The army has for its share
only the celaring of the way so that
1t can be planted within IL miles OF
its target.
1t requires an entire train to trans.
port it and about 500 men from the
Krupp organization.

$500 Per Year
Election for Directors.

On Tuesday of this week an cleo
tion was held in the Jerome and
Wendell districts for the purpose of
nominating a director from each of
these districts to serve on the board
of directors of the North Side Canal
Co., Ltd, as provided for in the Ex-
tension Agreement that is being
signed up by the settlers on the
tract.
The notice OF this election was
given out only last Friday when the
boundary lines between the two dis
tricts we're established at the section
line five miles west of Jerome. AL
though the notice was given all the
publicity possible, the result OF the
vote in the Jerome district indicates
that the settlers took very little in
terest in a matter that is of SO much
concern to them.
Out OF a possible 500 who had
signed the extension agreement and
were therefore entitled to vote at
| this election, only 81 settlers took
advantage of the privilege offered
them. These 81 voters represented
4,839 acres of land, or shares of
stock, and the vote was divided as
follows:
| o. j. Wilson. 3,O46. %
L. NJ. Whitehead ...... 1,13O.9l
A. W. Atwood ......... 300
d. c. MacWatters ....... $50
T. |. Robertson ....... 80
Shepherd 40
The privilege granted the settlers
of having a representation on the
board of directors of the Canal Co.
was voluntarily offered them by Mr..
Shepherd, as it was thought that this
would in great measure allay much
of the contentious arising as be-
tween the company and the settlers,
as Ii would give the latter an oppor-
tunity to become advised as to just
what disposition was made of the
maintenance fund. After all that has
been said regarding the new rule of
paying the actual maintenance
charge, the lack of interest taken in
the election by the settlers cannot
but be a surprise to the company.
However, we believe in the selec-
tion of Mr.. Wilson wise choice has
been made. as he is one of the pio-
neer farmers of the tract, and is
thoroughly familiar with irrigation
methods, and will watch with zeal
Gus care the interests of the settlers,
while holding a seat as member of
the board of directors
At Wendell there was little more
interest taken, as there were two
candidates actively in the field, F.
w. Hastings and ]. Perry Bates, the
former winning out by a good ma
jority. the vote being:
F. w. Hastings ............2,5 2,54l
]. Perry Bates ............ 1,95O
