Haines Carried Lewiston.

Haines for governor carried Lewis
ton by a good majority, while the vote
on senator in the city was as follows
Ailshie 256, Brady 252, French 100
Gooding 1853.
The light vote throughout the
county is accredited to the fact that
there were no contests whatever on
any of. the county tickets. The
democrats had no candidates for rep
resentatives in the lower house of the
legislature.
AS the interest centered in the
state candidates and due to the alb
sence of contests on the county tic
ket, many voters did not vote for any
of the county candidates.
On the democratic state ticket,
Hawley for senator leads Nugent by
vote of two to one while Alexand-
er's vote is about four to one ovei
Clark for governor Forney and Mill
er lead Dunning for congress.

An UNHoLY WAR.

American sympathy. as far as 10 has
taken form. seems 10 be favorable 10
the enemies Of Germany and her
Europe. This sympathy is largely
without prejudice and based purely
on the American conception Of right
between the parties.
There is a feeling Of Indignation in
the United States that Germany
should have precipitated a war which
seems needless and causeless. and a
war which will unsettle the business
and disturb the progress of the whole
world. not 10 speak OF the humane
side OF the question. This feeling Of
eesentment against Germany causes
the hope that she will be severely
punished for her cruel. brutal and
unprovOked act.
Even Russia. with her semi bar
bare hordes. has been in harmony
apparently with the peace sentiment
which has pervaded all of the leading
powers Of Europe, with the exception
Of Germany. AS a result OF Inherit
ance Emperor william has posed as
the war lord Of Europe. II has been
necessary to handle him with gloves
20 preserve the peace OF Europe. He
has seemed TO be bent on demonstrat-
ing his ability TO bring Europe to his
feet. The trouble between Austria
and Servia. which in the face Of more
oil F.sr.-
gotten. gave him the opportunity he
seems TO have been waiting for and
for which he was prepared 70 the eX-
tent OF having at a moments call the
finest army on the continent.
While American sympathy goes to
the enemies OF Germany, for the rea-
son that Germany is the aggressor in
a war believed To be needless and
causeIess, the government of the
United States will not be affected As
far as possible. consistent with the
protection OF American rights. the
United States will maintain neutral
attitude.
The only aid or encoura cement
which either party TO the war will re-
ceive from the United States Will
come through sympathy. All com
blatant nations will be treated with
absolute fairness. There Will be no
discrimination. The rights Of each
will be scrupulously observed But
Germany has forfeited all rights to
consideration outside Of the accord
ance Of what is justly due her. She
cannot expect sympathy N defeat nor
congratulations in victory She is
waging an unholy war.

hitting each state in the union to
adopt an individual battleflag in or

The reply made by Gov. Ralston

could or should take precedence or
divide honors with the American flag

". even among the surface things,

The idea expressed by this senti-
ment is the American idea. 'one coun-
try. one flag" No country can have
two flags and be loyal 10 both. The
stars and stripes are the emblem OF
American independence. the freedom
OF our institutions and a united cOun-
Try. The stars and bars of the south
ern confederacy represent nothing TO
American citizenship as a whole. They
are the emblem OF tradition, OF a dark
page in our country's history and OF
a lost cause.
The stars and bars are dear TO the
people OF the south because their folds
are stained with the blood OF their
fathers. because they represent hero
type. and sacrifice, but they do not
