URGES CAUTION IN CASTING
BALLOT AT NEXT ELECTION
Congressman McCfacken Issues Warns
in Regard to Amendment

IN Regard TO Amendment
Congressman Robert NJ McCracken
issues timely warning regarding the
proposed prohibition amendment to
the state constitution which is to be
submitted at the coming general
election to the voters of Idaho. He
points out in an interview that those
fayorng the amendment should use
caution in voting, taking care that
the separate pink ballot which will
be handed to them is voted first and
that after it is voted it is handed to
the election clerk, and deposited in
the ballot box. In view of the fact
constitutional amendments in the
past, the warning of Congressman
McCracken is timely. He said:
1T goes without saying that busi-
nass and moral conditions in Idaho
have been greatly improved since the
statewide prohibition law has be-
come operative, and there can be no
doubt but that a large majority of
the citizens of Idaho now favor
amending the constitution OF the |
state 50 that our pres Mt statewide |
prohibition policy may be made per-
manent. At the last general cleo
ton forty-one thousand voters who |
participated at the election failed to
vote upon the amendments then pro- |
posed to our state constitution. Let |
it not be forgotten that at this |
election, we will be called upon to
vote on two proposed amendments,
one OF which is the prohibition amend
ment. These amendments will appear
on pink ballot which will be sepa- |
rate from the general election ballot |
on which appear the names of candi- |
dates for the various offices.
Those voters who are in sympa-
thy with the prohibition amendment |
should be careful to mark the pink
ballot first, putting the X opposite
the word yes and not fail to have
the election judge deposit it with the
large ballot in the ballot box. ."-Capi-

vorably known by old-timers of this
community, who with the Republican,

My friends, had not intended to
make any speeches in this part Of
idaho at this time, excepting, the one
for which | am billed tonight at
Weiser
rs you know, | am speaking in this
campaign under the auspices of the
National Republican Commit q and
my time is fully taken up. ! was
glad, however, hat L was made pos
sible for me to again visit my home
state even for short period and l
assure you it Is always one Of the
greet pleasures of my life to be per
mitted to again mingle with my fel-
low citizens at home and to extend
to them the hand OF greeting and fell
lowship.
1t is not possible in the few mo-
ments that | will be here to indulge
in any extensive remarks although
hope later in the campaign to be
able to return and to address you
people more at length
We are all interested more or less
in politics at the present moment and
you naturally expect me, if l say any
thing, to say something along pOliti-
cal lines, and | will devote just a
few minutes to that subject, yet with
out attempting to discuss either ma
tional or state issues, which would be
within the time.
| am free to confess to you that !
have not always been satisfied with
the conditions existing in both the
great political parties Those at the
head of tn Sc parties have at times
been under the domination of infu
ences that were, in my opinion, in
imical to the welfare of the people Of
this country.
Occasionally, however there have
arisen men who have the moral cour-
age to combat those influences and
to bring about a more healthful poll
teal condition in The United States;
and want to say to you, my friends,
that there is nothing that has Oc
Cured in American politics in some
time that has given me greater hope
OF a pur.fication of American politics
than the nomination of the man VIII
is today The standard bearer of the
R publican party-Chas. E. Hughes
AS a citizen of New York and as
governor of that great state he was
most effective in fighting those in er-
ests that have eXerted an unwhole-
some influence upon our politics You

and the more active positions sold
about 9GD10 points under last nights
