FAMILIES SPLIT

Wives of Wilson Supporters viii
Take Stump For Gov

DIVERTING CAMPAIGN PHASE.

Washington.-Fam are being di-
vided by the present political issues.
Here are a few examples: ]. A. II.
Hopkins of New Jersey is treasurer of
the Progressive (genuine) national com
mittee and has announced that he per
sOnally favors the reelection of Viii
son. Mrs. Hopkins is member of the
Woman's party and will take the
stump and do all she can to prevent
the election of Wilson.
Clifford Pinchot is for Hughes and
all the milltarism Hughes and his
backing can secure. Amos Pinchot, his
brother, is a member of the American
Union Against Militarism and will sup
port Wilson as the lesser of two evils.
Representative William Kent of Cali
fornia is a wild eyed enthusiast for
Wilson and is heading a Wilson non
partisan league, while Mrs. Kent is a
member of the Woman's party and
will stump for the defeat of Wilson.
George Middleton has allied himself
with the group of writer's who have
announced themselves for Wilson.
while his wife, Fola La Toilette, is one
of the members of the Congressional
union who will hold Wilson responsible
for the defeat of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment. Meredith Nicholson is a
Wilson supporter, but Mrs. Nicholson
will write and stump against Wilson
on account of his attitude toward the
federal suffrage amendment. Mrs.
Louis F. Post is a member of the Wo-

PREDICTIONS

The democratic organ takes the
Herald to task this week because
we showed up some of Alexander's
trickeries and try to cast reflections
upon our political foresight.
Maybe the Herald did guess wrong
when it picked Taft, Haines and
Elliott for winners but we will wager
that if the Times manages to sur
vive 26 years in this community as
has the Herald one will be able to go
over its files and find more than
three instances in which it has
guessed wrong. The editor of the
Times and his assistant, Mr.. Heigh-
ton, have unintentionally paid us a
compliment.
AS for the news item concerning
Mr.. Hanley's tour we suggest that
if the Times is so cocksure of Wilson
why should it refuse to note that
prohibition candidate for president
has stated in his campaign that he
has as little regard for Wilson and
Wilson's policies as he has for those
of Mr.. Hughes.
We suggest that the Times show
us where we have erred in our state
ments concerning the artful fakir,
Moses Alexander. Predictions the
Herald has or will make will tend
but little to give Alexander the de-
tense he needs.
There is one thing the Herald is
proud of its history of predictions
the vote in all three instances quoted
by our contemporary proves we were
correct as far as our own territory
was concerned.
We do not hesitate to make one
more prediction-tha the people of
Idaho are sick of the misrepresenta-
tons, fakiry and forgotten promises
of Moses Alexander. November 18th
will tell the tale and decide whether
or not the Times can add one more
poor guess to our string.

County Business Plus Politics

Stephen Martin, who on Monday
in Judge O'Callaghan's court was
held to be a juvenile delinquent and
who was ordered committed to the
Idaho State Industrial cshool at St.
Anthony, left last evening for the
state school in the custody of Coun-
ty Auditor Stanley.
Just at this time this comes as an
interesting bit of news owing to the
fact that recently the county auditor
alleged the duties of his office re-
quired two deputies Cat total sal
airy of $3.50 monthly and that he
could not get along with less help.
Nevertheless the county auditor finds
time to assume the role of state
land appraiser upon occasions and
to act as a guard when an opportu-
nifty presents itself to visit other
towns of the state, presumably at the
expense of the county, all of which
needs but little explanation when it
is remembered that Mr.. Stanley is
the democratic nominee for congress-
man. The trip to st. Anthony should
give Auditor Stanley a good chance
to look after his political fences.

GditoriaIIy Speaking
ALExANDER-THEN AND NOW

Governor Alexander's publicity
campaign in the churches has come
back to haunt him. From the day
that he was elevated to the govern
orship he entered upon a speaking
campaign in every pulpit in the
state in which he could get an OPP
portunity to appear. He made a
handle of the prohibition law, and
when he could secure a pulpit he
would laud himself for signing the
prohibition bill. He made no men,
ton of the fact that the republican
legislature passed the prohibition bill
and that public sentiment called for
no other action than that which he
took.
1t was not so many years ago
when Governor Alexander was mayor
of Boise, and at a time when the
vets were in ascendency and he then
played his game entirely with the
wet crowd. Gambling and house of
prostitution went hand in hand with
the saloon in those days, and he had
a chief of police by the name Of
Francis. Boise residents well re-
member the occasion when Mayor
Alexander and Chief of Police Fran
els had tilt is a council meeting and
Francis dared the mayor to try to
discharge him as chief of police, in
timating that Mayor Alexander was
in with him on CRAFTS and did not
dare to take any summary position
with him.
The governor has a favorite ex-
preston in his pulpit speech which
runs about like this: "When l am
in doubt about public measures or
public men, as your chief execu-
tive, | come to the state house to
your chief executives office, and look
out upon the stars and then take
down your Bible and mine, and from
its pages l get the inspiration by
which l solve the deep problems of
state craft" This is supposed to
touch a tender spot with his con-
gregation, but he does not always
use this figure. For instance, once
before the land board he put it in
this shape: 81 tell you guys how ]
do these things. When l have any
thing that is bothering me, don't
know who to appoint to the offices
among the hungry democrats, | get
Hostetter's Almanac over there which
gives me my inspiration"

feels a change of public sentiment.
Whatever craftsmanship he possessed
has been sacrificed to politics and
yet you hear the slogan stand by
the president"
How can you stand by an object
that is in perpetual motion? How
can you steer the ship of state by
shooting star?
He has shifted around with such
amazing agility that his future
course cannot be vouched for by his
party leaders or himself. He has
been on both sides of the tariff ques
ton; of Panama tolls; of prepared
ness for national defense; of en-
forcement of neutrality laws; of a
single presidential term; of woman
suffrage ;of enforcement of the civil
service laws; of retrenchments in APP
preparations; and of protection of
American citizens at home and
abroad
His Mexican policy has only been
consistent in one way and that in
changing from one blunder to an
other; he has been for Villa and
against him; for Carranza and
against Carranza; for embargo on
der control and against border con-
troll.
He is supported by such pacifist
democrats as Bryan, Clark, Kitchen
and Hay and such preparedness
democrats as Senators Chamberlain
and O'Gorman and if reelected pres
ident one element or the other will
be disappointed or deceived.
He is entitled to a double NJ. d.
following his name for his ability
to sugar coat his recommendations
to congress so as to render them
tasteless until after the dose is
swallowed and then he is willing to
take a chance on it coming back.
How quietly the war stamp tax
was wiped out just sixty days be-
fore the election. Wonder if that
will give the voter plainly of time
to get the taste of the muciage
off his tongue. The war is still
on in Europe. Why dispense with
the tax. If the treasury is full
why not dump it into the campaign
fund or employ a few more deputies :?

STAND BY THE PRESIDENT

The democrats see the handwriting
on the wall. Every resource is being
employed to keep the deserving
democrats" at the pie counter for
four years more. They have begun
to realize that their greed for public
office and the spoils system adhered
to so closely has put them in bad
with the people and they are de-
termined to make a desperate effort
for another lease of power.
All past presidents, platform
pledges, postal regulations, together
with civil service rules have been
abandoned in behalf of the faithful.
Whether or not acting upon orders
from headquarters, government of
ficeholders who are drawing salaries
paid by the people, feel called upon
to abandon their duties to the public
and take an active part in behalf
of the democratic ticket. Four years
more of this fragrant preversion Of
government control Will result in
the worst political machine ever built
up in any country. President Wilson
has become mere weather-cock
yeering this way and that as he

SHOULD JOIN IN ORGANIZATION

The ticket nominated recently by
the republicans of Boundary county
at the primary election is being well
received by the voters without re-
gard to party affiliations. With such
a feeling being permeated the county
central committee and the candidates
are entering in an enthusiastic and
vigorous campaign.
The republican candidates are in
all respects deserving of earnest
support. They are persons excep-
tionally qualified for the positions
they seek and they can be depended
upon, if elected, to give their best
efforts for the benefit of taxpayers
of the county. The outlook for the
election of the entire county, state
and national ticket this year has
never been better. The people are
giving evidences of having had
enough democracy in the county
state and nation and it is only nee
essary for the republicans to get
back of their candidates with en-
ergetic efforts to insure a complete
victory at the polls in November
The campaign this year is one which
should enlist the active work of every
republican for republican success in
the nation is only assured by making
the local communities republican. II
is idle to presume that there are
no politics in county affairs. With
out county organization there can be
no effective state campaigns and
the state in turn is a unit of the
national organization.
For almost four years the demo,
Gratis have had control of the genera
government and their record Of
weakness, vaccilation and incompe-
tency has been such that the welfare
of the country demands that the
control of government must bC
wrested from their hands. Every
republican should therefore make the
contest his personal fight and devot,
every energy to electing the ticket
in the county. Success in the county
is the basis for state and nationa
victory, and by electing the repub
lican ticket the people of the county
are not only assured of receiving
capable and conscientious services
but they will also be contributing
to the restoration of those grea1
policies of government for which the
republican party stands and which
mean permanent prosperity for al
the people all the time.

Mr.. Wilson says his mind is progress
sive, but those who try to follow its
progress can never tell the direction it
is taking. 1t is just as likely TO be
progressing backward as forward.
