Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1916-09-15

Voicing the sentiment of men who
ought to know, and speaking for dem
ocrats of standing and integrity, the
Clearwater Republican has said there
is no democratic county ticket in the
field in this county at this time. We
have, speaking for democrats, taken
executions to the statement that Jim
Blake is democrat. We speak adj
visedly, since that is what democrats
tell US, and democrats ought to know.
Democratic County Chairman F.
W. Garrison of Orofino issued a call
for democratic county central COM
mittee meeting in Orofino April l,
1916, to elect delegates to a democratic
state convention at Pocatello whose
duty it was to elect delegates to the
national convention, also national
state committeeman for Idaho, a
position held by Robt. Elder of Occur
d 'alcne, whose patronage machine had
forced P. II. Blake. deposed dem
ocratic county chairman, into the
Orotino post Office over the protest Of
more than ninety-five per cent Of the
democratic patrons of the office, and
over the protest of a large percentage
of other patrons.
Going ba * two years it will be
recalled that the Blakes were SO OBJ
noxious and politically rotten tn. I
there was revolt. resulting in the
democrats kicking p. H. Blake out as
county chairman In the primary
election the Blake machine was de-
feated, the result showing five Blake
to seven anti-Blake committeeman.

IS THERE A DEMOCRATIC TICKET in CLEARWATER COUNTY?

Hilton the anti-democrats had but five
out of twelve, and yet that five was
sufficient to strike down democracy,
and deliver it helpless to Elder and
the gang.

ocratic central committee, resigned
in disgust. The gang appointed |. R.

Democrats Balk.

Recently came the time to name
county ticket. Nowhere in the county
would democrats of standing have
anything to do with a county ticket.
Democrats of integrity absolutely re-
fused to have anything to do with a
party led by Jim Blake. Democrats
rebelled at Elderism. Democrats
baked when it came to swallowing
this obnoxious mess, and it is no
secret that Clearwater county DEM
ocrats are now agreed that Jim Blake
can never run the party in this county.
Democrats gave Jim Blake full
swing. They made him put up a
hand picked county ticket. DEM
ocrats know that Jim Blake did pick
the alleged democratic ticket, and
that is libel on democracy to call it
democratic ticket. 1t is Jim
Blake-Bob Elder ticket, and Jim
Blake is running the democratic county
campaign at this time in Clearwater
county.
The truth of every statement in
this article will be verified by the
best democrats in Clearwater county.
Most of what is herein said is com.
mon knowledge. 1t is cold recital
of h; rd fact, and canrot be success.
fully controverted.
1t is fair in this connection to ex.
plain that Ivan Cunningham of Gil.
bert, nominated for the state legis.
lature, was h.ed early by A E
Holmberg when the democrats Were
trying to put up county ticket, anG
Miss Carrie LeBaron of Cavendish

Neither of these were put up by IT,

worthy democrats on whom the Clear
water Republican would cast no reflec

THE WAR
TO-DAY

Activities on the Verdun front
continue to be chiefly those of the
artillery arm, which still is being
vigorously employed.
No infantry attack by the Ger
mans has developed west of the
Meuse, where there have been
signs that renewal OF the drive
was in prospect. The German Ell
fort. indeed, seems to have again
shifted in its most intensive form
to the other bank Of the stream,
where a reconnaissance in force
i'm the Haudrem0nt wood. west of
D0uaumont- is reported by Paris
to have been checked by the
French curtain of fire.
Southeast Of D0uaumOnt, in the
region of Vauy and Damloup, the
violent German bombardment con-
tinues, while further south, in the
W0evre region, both German and
French guns are busy pounding
opposing positions.
There is increasing friction be-
tween Greece and the entente
powers, according to advices from
German sources. These declare
that Premier SkOul0udis has n0ti-
fed the entente ambassadors that
the Greek government is indispos-
ed to transfer to the entente the
administration Of railroads in
northern Greece and Macedonia. to
withdraw troops from the Macedo-
MAN region. and to meet other re-
quests by the entente.
French and German ayiat0rs
have had many eombats in the air
recently with the advantage in ia
yor of the French, according to
Paris. A French air squadron
dropped more than a hundred
bombs back OF the German lines
north of Eerdun. At least three
German aeropianes are declared to
have been brought to earth.

On the Caucasian front the Rus
slams are continuing to drive the

AMERICAN REPLY
PLEASES MEXICO
Acceptance of CaTraBZa Proposal
Meets With Favor Of Chief and
CounttsT II.

Washington, Marett 1.-The state
department was formally advised Of
the receipt by General Carranza of
the reply sent yesterday to his pro-
posals for reciprocal agreement as
to the pursuit OF bandits along the
border. Unofficial information reached
the department that the American
note was favorably received by Gen
eral Carranza but the official mes
sages made no comment on that point.
The department has not renewed its
standing order urging Americans to
stay out of Mexico for the time being
but news dispatches indicate Consul
Canada at Vera Cruz acted under the
standing order.
Although the Mormon colony at
Casas Grandes is protected by a Car
rama garrison, it is said, one of the
first movements of the American
forces probably will be in that direc-
ton.
Acting Secretary Polk reported to
President Wilson today that word re-
ceived at the state department from
various sections Of Mexico indicated
that a favorable impression had been
made by the note sent General Car
rama yesterday and the presidents
assurances that no armed interven-
ton in Mexico was planned.
Mr.. Folks report was optimistic
and did not confirm reports that the
Carranza supporters resented the
pursuit of Villa by American troops

Washington, March IA - Unofficial
adyices received here today indicate
that Germany will make complete
amends to the United States if it is
found that a German submarine tor
pedoed the Norwegian bark Silius
from which seven Americans were res
cued in Havre roads.
The German government is repre-
sented here as believing that torpedo
was not responsible for the loss of the
bark and that any commander who at
tacks a neutral ship such as the Silius
without warning would be exceeding
his instructions.
American consul Osborne at Havre
reported that the ship was torpedoed
without warning. His report was based
on statements of American survivors.
Officials are inclined to entertain the
possibility that the ship might have
been struck by mine but the case is
being investigated further.
