Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1914-07-28

ident ought to be printed on postal
Boise.
I'VE must not sit supinely waiting for
the administration at Washington to
create prosperity for us; we must re-
unite the forces and energies of our
citizens in an effort to create prosper
ity for ourselves
"Factionists must be frowned upon
and cooperation encouraged. We should
demand of the next session of the legis-
lature two things: First-An oppor-
tunity to resume our special charter
with such amendments as may be
deemed advisable Second-The right
to deal with those problems which are
common t. all cities, unhampered by
and independent Of the general laws
And to this END We should strive to
nominate and EJECT to the legislature
capable men who are aggressively
friendly to our cause.
1T would be highly proper, no doubt
for Inc to discuss in detail the causes
of business dep,ess' on and of class sus-
pcion and distfust, but l think l have
said enough. If you whose purpose
have been invited to interpret shall be
successful in effecting a militant or
ganization, bent on carrying out the
program I have mapped out, you will
have accomplished much at your first
meeting.
I'm conclusion, urge you not to for
get the duty you owe to one another
to be tolerant and charitable and to
keep the faith in every common under
taking"
Would Widen the Scope.
Leo ]. Falk the first speaker of the

H J, MeGirr said the meeting was an
impromptu affair, gotten up to discuss
ways and means for the betterment of
Boise and the surrounding country, not
for political purposes but for protection
and to get behind good candidates for
the legislature regardless of politics, to
see that the men nominated on both
tickets were leaders and men whom
the legislators from other counties
would look up to and rally around.
w. F. Bossner felt that it was time
the people got together for the good of
y.
selecting men for office who would ac-
complish results beneficial to all. He
said this section was travelling back
ward instead of forward, that there
were too many laws on the statute
books and that a great deal of time
should be spent repeating bad laws in
stead of creating new ones. He felt
that it was time the people rallied to-
gether regardless of political affllia-
tons for the benefit of the city
DR.. Belts stated that while 1t was
difficult to get people to forget party, if
1t was brought to their minds that the
feeling for home should be stronger
than the devotion to any political
party, results might be accomplished.
Blames Business Men.
c. J. Sinsel stirred the meeting to
applause in a few remarks, declaring
that the business men We're responsible
for present conditions, that they had
given so little time to public affairs
that they permitted those less interest
ed in results to handle public affairs.
He declared that he was willing to do
all in his power to elect men to office
who would work for the upbuilding of
Ada county and put down agitation.
He closed by declaring that he be-
lieved the agitators now knew they had
befouled their own nests.
o. o. Haga declared he was in sym
