FERGUSON TRIED

Sheppard Warns Friends That II Past Ac-

Likely TO Harm Him by Voting for Fer
gus0n Than for Ball.

Washington, ID. g., July 15.-Scnator
sheppard gave ont the following statement
today:
my attention has been directed to Fer
guson's statement last week nj Linden that

20 put me on of the Senate.

two years ago. and vigorously supported
Colonel Woltcrs. who for 20 mann vcars
ha~ been the attorney and legislative rep
resentatIve of thD Pullman monopoly. His
apparent ~olicitdtic for my welfare and his
criticism Of Bali for having been a railroad
attorney are deprived Of any force BY his
line up for Colonel WoIterS. Ball supported
me loyalty for the senate. despite the fact
that when the Senatorial race began he was
"A candidate for a short time himself. II -.
therefore. entirely fair To say that if r. VI.
Johnston. Clarence Ou~ley. Bailey and
others who evidently compose the element
% which Ferguson refers, are planning To
defeat me IN 1918. they will get far more
comfort from Ferguson than from Ball.
