BOOTLEGGING AND GAMBLING

II is unquestionably true that liquor
Is being sold In American Falls con-
trary to law. II is unquestional'y true
that there are occasional gambling
games Such has always been the con-
dition here, Notwithstanding that most
strenuous efforts have been made to
put stop TO them. The most shame
full part Is that those who can give the
evidence Will not. Every protection,
even to perjury is given the violators
For the most part. neither the viola
tors nor those who could supply evi-
dence to convict them, VIII vote for
Sheriff Jeffries. Nearly all Of these
people will vote for one OF his op-
ponents. Jeffries has secured some
convictions and tried to secure Others.
Perjury. defective memories. withhold
ing of evidence have all worked
against him. Let the character as
sassins trot out their evidence and
their afiidavits. They will be welcom-
ed. People who have lived I'm
this county for five years know who
the bootleggers are. and know who
have led the fight to suppress II. Don't
bluff. Deliver the goods. And like
towards ashamed OF themselves, whis-
per them. or boldly proclaim or pub

FACTS DO NOT HARMOYIZE
WITH CAMPAIGN STATEMENT
Democratic Spellbinders Uuju silly
Critize Commissioners In Rent
ing Rooms For County Offices,

AT meetings held at Landing and
elsewhere in the county it is alleged
that Democratic speakers have criti-
zed the board of commissioners for
paying 500 year for the present
quarters for the offices when they had
an offer from the Evans Mercantile
Company to rent quarters for 81 per
year. The bid of the Evans Mercan-
tile company was for -four office
rooms in the Evans block and part OF
a store room adjoining, all steam
heated, for $50 per month";" and is
dated February 21, 1913, and signed
by Evans Mercantile company by
Alonzo Rowberry. Manager. There
are nine rooms occupied by the Of
ficers, and the county pays only 500
a year more for the nine rooms than
the four office rooms and part of the
store room adjoining were offered.
There was an offer of 81 a year sub
mitted by r. o. Jones, clerk of the
school board, for the old three-room
school building adjoining the new
building. The commissioners reject
ed this bid for the reason that "the
building is in such condition, the parti-
tions having been taken out, and the
ceiling taken out in the main part,
plaster broken, windows out, vain
scoating gone, that in the opinion of
the board it would be very expensive
to put the same in good condition and
no saving to the taxpayers, and also
because of the doubtful legality OF a
contract under the conditions sur
rounding the lease"
The wisdom of the board in reject
ing this offer has been fully proven
by subsequent events. The school
board asked for bids recently to put
the Building in condition for school
purposes, the bid being $1,035 This
vo,'d leave the building az IL now
stands. two rooms only Each of the
rooms would have had to be parti-
toned for county purposes. il order
to get four rooms. Then there would
have been no vault for the records,
and five rooms would have had to be
secured outside the building. These
bids are on file in the clerks Office,
and can be seen by anyone who may
be interested enough to investigate.

FALSE REPORTS
in CIRCULATION
ALLEGATION THAT BORAH HAS
REPUDIATED THE REPUBLICAN
STATE TICKET INCLUDIN
BRADY Is ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE
He Did Advise Removal of Allen From
Ticket Before His Defaication Was
Discovered, But Allen Refused to
Get on, and the Law Provided No
Way TO Force Him on.

Reports were circulated i'm Boise,
yesterday, that the Democratic state
committee was quietly sending out n
formation to the effect that Senator
Borah had repudiated the Republican
state ticket, including Senator Brady.
The report was discredited at first,
but is now said to be true. The fol-
lowing telegram to d. w. Davis, bear
ing on the matter was received from
Republican State Headquarters this
morning with request to give it
wide circulation:
"The report that Borah has re-
pudiated the Republican ticket has
been sent out by Democratic Chair
man Pence and is an absolute false
hood. The circumstances were that
Borah wrote a letter to Chairman Day
on September %, repudiating Allen,
and advised his removal from the
ticket. The executive committee had
met and when Borah's letter was re-
ceived there were no new develop
lens withdrawal, and Allen insisted
upon his right to remain on the ticket
as he had been legally nominated in a
primary. Borah's letter was sent by
publication delayed until Wednesday
morning and was reprinted in the
Boise Capital News, whose editor is
on the Progressive ticket for state
treasurer. Pence then flooded the
state with kilograms that Borah had
repudiated Brady and the entire state
ticket, thus bearing false witness
against Borah for Daltry and malici-
GUS purpose. Borah recently sent a
special appeal printed all over the
state for Senator Brady and the action
of the state. administration i'm expos
ing and publishing, Allen is in direct
line with Borah's suggestions in his
letter. He heartily approves prompt
and effective action against corruption
I'm Office See that this is circulated all
over your county"
Ine telegram, so iar as III states
Borah's position, is absolutely correct
Whether or not the Democratic state
committee has sent out such state
ments or not is not known but if they
have they are deserving of severe
censure. 1t is not necessary to bear
false witness or to do any other un-
righteous thing to win an election.
An effort was made to get Allen off
the ticket before 1t was known that
he was defaulter, but he refused to
get off and there was no way to put
him off until he confessed his crime
and was sent to the penitentiary.
