Organization Preparing to Fight EIec-
tiOn Frauds to Defeat Prohibition
Amendment

Fearing that election frauds, de-
signed to defeat the election of the
constitutional amendment for state
wide prohibition, will be a feature of
the next general election, the Anti
Saloon League of Idaho is actively
organizing to prevent such fraud, ac-
cording to Superintendent l.. G. Wells
who is in the city.
1T is the custom of the liquor in
terests to secure their ends by any
MEANS" said Mr.. Wells. Election
frauds have been practiced in all
the recent prohibition election. At
Minneapolis last spring more than
nine thousand fraudulent votes were
cast.
County conventions, at which dele
gates from all parts Of the counties
are present, are being arranged. The
organization will investigate care
fully the records of all candidates for
office, and will be slow to accept the
confessions of recent converts, es-
pecially when election to office seems
to be their motives, Mr.. Wells said.
County officers who have failed in
their duties in enforcing prohibition
laws will have no consideration for
reelection. The organization will be
strictly onn- partisan, and in the op-
inion of it's promoters, will be great
aid in securing better class of Of
fcials.
The league has been active in help
ing to suppress boot-legging, and has
met with many difficulties. Mr.. Wells
stated that though fines have been
made so heavy as to much more than

AN ULTIMATUM
LAST WORD TO GERMANY ON
SUBMARINE CONTROVERSY NOW
PREPARED FOR DELIVERY
Further Endangering Of American
Lives at Sea Will Result in
Breaking With Germany
By the United Press Associations.


WASHINGTON, April 14.-Presi-
dent Wilson'S final word in the sub
marine controversy is embodied in a
note which the cabinet ratified today
1t is reported that the note informs
Germany that another submarine dis
aster jeopardizing Americans will
mean the immediate severance of re-
lations The communication is sharp
and concise and does not permit
dickering. No hint of the exact con-
tents was obtainable.
1t is reported that the note re-
quests the punishment of the offend
ing submarine commanders and de-
mands assurance of a changed policy
thus removing the possibility of a
repetition Of incidents which have
brought the nations dangerously near
breaking. A tentative draft Of the
communication will be presented to
the senate and house foreign relations
committees before Secretary Lansing
write a formal message. This may
result i'll a slight change in the text.

DEFEATS THE CORVALLIS

Game Poorly Attended-Spokane In
dams Meet Idaho Team in Two
Games Here Tomorrow

| For the first time in six years, Ida
ho has won baseball game from
Oregon Agricultural college, which
yesterday afternoon in a fine exhibit
tion game went down to defeat to a
score of six to two. The attendance
was good but was composed mostly
Of the student body, the gate receipts
being practically nothing, although a
guarantee of $75 was paid to o. A. c..
The excellent showing Of the team de-
served much more general support,
and it is expected that in future games
Idaho's initial success will have a
salutary effect on gate receipts.
i The defeat of O. A. c. was the more
encouraging to Idaho fans, for future
conference games because it was Ida
hos first game of the season, and
the visitors seventh.
Brockman for Idaho made a very
loreditable showing in the pitchers
box, holding the opponents down 10
eight hits Idaho got only clean hits
off of 0. A. c., but they were con-
tinually hammering the ball, which
was the good feature of the. game, and
they hit the ball wnen it was most
necessary that they should.
The two games scheduled for to-
morrow, one at 10 in the morning and
the other at in the afternoon, against
the Spokane Indians, will probably
draw a large crowd. There is pretty
good chance Of Idaho's giving the In
dians a first rate drubbing. The
pitchers for the two games will be

offset the costs of prosecution, the
bootleggers have suffered but little
in many cases, as money from some
source outside of Idaho has been
provided to pay the fines, and to pay
the prisoners two dollars and half
day for the time spent in jail. De-
PENDANTS in cases tried at Pocatello
have testified that such is the case.
Photographs and thumb prints have

republican county convention ever
held in Latah county and savored OF
the old convention days when county
officials we're nominated by this

was the presence on the floor OF many
women delegates.
The appearance of former Con-
gressman Burton L. French was the
signal for a prolonged outburst OF
applause and it was many minutes
before the convention hall could be
quieted. His address also provoked
frequent applause.

HON. BURTON L. FRENCH GIVEN
ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING AT
COUNTY CONVENTION
Pointed Out Weaknesses of Demo-
cratic Party And Appealed
For Unity

The opening gun of the 1916 re-
publican campaign in Idaho was de-
Elivered today at the republican county
convention of Latah county when
French delivered a stinging rebuke to
the present democratic national adj
ministration, urged the republicans
and prOgressives to unite on a COM
mon ground and pointed out that the
nations future safety lay in the safe
and conservative administration of the
country's affairs under republican
rule. He paid a glowing tribute to
United States Senator William E.
Borah. The convention hall was
packed to capacity when Mr.. French
was introduced and the building rang
with cheer after cheer as he was in
! troduced to the assemblage. In his
address, Mr.. French exhibited his old
time vigor and indicated that in his
! campaign for the primary nomination
for congress that he would be most
formidable defender of republican
principles.
Mr. French spoke for nearly three
quarters of an hour and took occasion
to outline the issues that will be de-
bated in the coming campaign. He
congratulated the republicans and pro-
gressives in being together again and
pointed out that after all there was no
great difference in principle between
them. Both favor a tariff drawn upon
the basis of the findings Of non
partisan tariff commission. Both ia
vor the establishment of such COM
mission, they stand together for the
regulation of corporate wealth, and
the meeting of the industrial problems
that the last quarter of century has
brought. They both stand for a policy
that will mean peace and prosperity at
home and that dignity as a world pow
er for our. nation that will commend
the respect of other nations The
platforms of these two great parties
of 1912 are essentially alike upon con-
structive measures. The progressiyes
incorporated the Ten Commandments
in their platform while the republicans
did not, but | want to assure my re-
publican and progressive friends alike
that republicans believe in them just
the same"
Mr.. French arraigned the democratic
party for it's failure to meet the re-
sponsibilities that its induction into
office had imposed. He declared that
nothing more could be expected from a
minority party embarrassed by it's par
ty platform and official pledges, ham
pered by a preponderence of influence
from the solid south, backing and |
filling as it attempted to catch every
wind for it's sail that blows. He de- /
clared that in it's dilemma it had vio-
lated so many of it's platform pledges
that he did not keep track OF them
longer, but that the people would hold
them to account at the next election,
and consider whether platforms are
made to be kept or are merely mo
lasses to catch flies with" Our demo-
cratic friends condemned the repub-
