The cause of the affliction is indirectly
the European war. Both he and his
wife have all their relatives in both
Germany and Austria, and owing to the
censorship learn naught Of their safety

DEMOCRATS APPEAL
TO INTELLIGENCE
OF VOTERS
THE RECORD OF TILE DEMOCRATS
UNDER WILSON'S LEADERSHIP
SPELLS SUCCESS.
PROMINENT men CAMPAIGN
No Discord in the Party's Ranks-All
Work for a Common Good-A Cam
paigne Fund of Common Sense.

Never since 1896, when they swept
the Gem state for William J. Bryan by
an overwhelming majority, have the
democrats of Idaho been so united, SC
enthusiastic or SO confident of victory
as now. Every vestige of diseorl have
been swept away under the inspiration
of the mangnificent leadership of
Woodrow Wilson.
With pride and confidence in the
man at the helm; with fixed deter
mination to help in the great work
the president has in hand, democrats
in Idaho, keeping step with the demo-
Gratis Of the nation, are ready to play
their full part as intelligent, progress
sive and patriotic men and women.
Everywhere it is felt that the pres
sing duty of the hour is to prove to the
world, that in dealing with the fearful
problems growing out of wars in
foreign nations, President Wilson has
the loyal support of the American peo-
pie.
This duty is just as pressing in Idaho
as in the other states. It is just as es-
sential in Idaho as elsewhere to up
hold the hands of the president. It is
just as essential here as elsewhere to
place the seal of condemnation on the
little politicians, the fellow who would
glory in the nations peril and humilia-
tion if only that peril and humiliation
would promote their selfish ends.
Democrats of Idaho are determined
to give to Woodrow Wilson vote of
confidence because they feel that he is
right. They propose, if it is in their
power, to send to Washington men who
will help the president in his great
program for commercial and industrial
expansion through the channels Of
peace and honor and justice.

JUDGE STEWART DIED AT PORT
LAND LAST FRIDAY-sOME IN
TERESTING POINTS INVOLVED
IN MAKING APPOINTMENT,

Chief Justice George H. Stewart of
the Supreme Court of the State of
Idaho died at a sanitorium in Portland
last Friday following a long continu-
ed illness. He was so years old and
the illness followed breakdown caus-
ell by particularly strenuous work dur
ing the term at Coeur d'Alene last
fall.
Judge Stewart was selected to the
supreme court for his second term in
1912 and at that time was in i'll health
Prior to his election to the supreme
bench he was district judge at Boise,
and was a man Of wide popularity
and very able jurist. Judge Stewart
was born and studied law in Indiana,
and up to the year of 1895 practiced
law in Nebraska at which time he re-
moved to Idaho where he continued his
practice until he was appointed judge
of the district court of Ada county.
In 1906 he was elected justice of the
supreme court and has been member
of the court since that time.
Judge Stewart death causes an
other vacancy on the bench, as Judge
Warren Truitt was appointed to fill
the vacancy left by the resignation of
Justice Ailshie to fill the position un-
til after the election in November.
The vacancy on the supreme bench at
the time following the primary elec-
tion and before the general election
presents a peculiar situation. It was
pointed out recently the law does not
provide way Of filling q vacancy on
a non-partisan Judiciary ticket. As
the candidates are non-partisan state

JUDGE STEELE WILL CONVENE
COURT IN LEWIS COUNTY
NEXT MONDAY.
THIS week CONCLUDES TERN
Habeas Corpus Hearing Before Court
Today Gabriel Gets Indeterminate
Sentence Of From to IA Years.

The work of the district court is be-
ing rapidly finished and most all of the
work will be completed tomorrow and
Judge Steele will convene court over
in Nezperce next Monday. A large
volume of work has been disposed of at
this term and this in the face Of the
fact that several things cut into the
time allotted for the term here includ-
ing the primary election and Border
Days.
The court is engaged today in the
hearing of a habeas corpus case
brought up here from Orofino the pur-
pose Of the proceeding being to pro-
cure the release Of a person in the
charge of the state in the asylum at
Orofino. The petitioner is represented
by Attorney Halstead of Orofino and
County Attorney Holsclaw, of Clear
water county represents the state.
Thursday of last week the case of
the State VS.. Filing Gabriel was con-
cluded and verdict of guilty brought
in by the jury. Saturday Judge Steele
sentenced the defendant to impriso-
ment at hard labor in the state peniten-
tiary for an indeterminate term of
from three to fourteen years. Last
Tuesday Gabriel left for the state peni-
tentiary at Boise in the custody of
guard Daniels.
The case of the State VS.. Peter Bies,
George Fl. Doersch and John R. Gibson
which came on for trial last Friday
morning was continued as Doersch had
failed to appear although the other
witnesses were present. Doersch was
released at the preliminary on his own
recognizance and the other two defend
ant were under bond which they had
been forced to put up at the prelimin-
ary. The case Of the State VS.. James
Deering was continued on Friday as

Governor to Fill Vacancy Caused
by Death of Judge G. III. Stewart

central committees do not have con.
troll in filling the vacancy.
As the law provides that "all vacan.
cies in any state office, and in the
supreme and district courts, unless
otherwise provided by law, shall be
filled by appointment of the governor
until the next general election after
such vacancy occurs, when such vacan.
cy shall be filled by election.o
Two contentious are made with re.
ferences to the Interpretation of the
law, one being that as the primary
election has passed, the law applies in
this instance to the election of 1916,
and that therefore an appointee would
only hold for two years, while others
contend that the appointee would hold
over for the rest of the unexpired term
or four years.
The other contention is that under
the law provides that the appointee
shall hold until the next general elec-
ton, it is possible to elect a successor to
Justice Stewart in November of this
year by writing the names on the bal.
lots and that if concerted effort was
made to do this the candidate receiv.
ing the largest number of votes in this
manner would be elected to the office.
With reference to the appointment
Of a new judge Governor Haines stated
when interviewed that the question of
selecting successor to Justice Ste
wart is being given serious considera-
tion by him, but just what action he
win take or when he will take it he has
not definitely decided. While not
unexpected, the death Of Justice Ste
wart was shock and the governor will
take no hasty action in the appoint
ment. At his order all flags on state
buildings were lowered to half mast
and will remain SO until after the
funeral.

the trial jury had been dismissed and
the case could not therefore be tried,
Monday the case of Wits Keets Foo
vs.. ). &. Rowton, involving the recov-
cry Of some land, was tried before the
court and the case was taken under
advisement by the court, the plain.
tiff to furnish brief within ten days.
A divorce was granted to Pearl York
in her case againts Ira York who dis
appeared from the country some time
ago.
Tuesday the case of Marcus Lies ct
al vs.. William Mulhall was called for
trial. This was suit involving some
land over near Denver, it being alleged
by the plaintiffs that the defendant
had contracted to sell some land which
was decided to them by the defendant
and which fell short about eight acres.
The plaintiffs sought to recover the
value paid for land they never re-
ceived. This case was also taken un-
der advisement by the court and the
respective parties are to furnish briefs.

COMPANY OF MILITIA.
Plans Formulated to Have a Company
Of State Militia Here.

At the Wednesday noon luncheon of
the Grangeville Commercial Club, Mr..
kading, the junior member of the
Parker Loan & Investment Co., pre-
sented the question of raising con-.
pany of militia in Grangevillc. The
movement received the hearty indorse-
ment of the commercial club, and Mr..
kading has gotten out the pledge paper
which he hopes that every young men
in Grangevilie will sign.
The city at one time had good
company but on account on non-sup-
port from headquarters it was muster
ed out. The Adjutant Generals office
is now under such management that it
is able to give a young company the
best support and Grangeville should
produce one of the best companies in
the state. So
Personally we are much in favor of
this movement, as it heralds the awak-
ening of the young men of Grange
vile to activity and makes for a big
ger and better city.
Access to the pledge paper may be
had through Mr.. Kading, who before
coming to the city and engaging in
business has been militiaman for 3
years in the city of Boise. The colonel
of the regiment, Colonel Edelblute and
Lieutenant Tannemiller U. s. A., were
expected in town this week to look
over the field and ascertain the possi-
bilities for the formation of the com
pany. The possibility for the company
is assured if the young men take inter-
est and come forward promptly to
pledge their support to the movement.
