DEMOCRACY FOUGHT FAIR.

Woodrow Wilson made a manly and
an exceedingly clean fight. His oppo-
nent did not, and it is only right and
proper to turn backward a moment t"
say this much: The spectacle Of IN
dignantly protesting against the IN
fairness Of one Of the National Demo-
cratic Committees campaign cartoons
was a fitting climax to the long series
of absurdities that lowered the whole
plane of the canvass. The cartoon in
question represented Mr.. Hughes tear
ing from a book the record OF Demo-
cratic achievement. The candidates
arm vas guided by a hand labelled
Wall Street, invisible government and
greed, while this alleged quotation
from Mr.. Hughes Milwaukee speech
appeared beneath the cartoon: "The
whole Democratic accomplishment
must be wiped Off the books"
Whether or not Mr.. Hughes used
these words is a question of fact that
should be easily established. He was
quoted as saying just this, by news
papers that were supporting him, and
he had plenty of time to deny saying
it before the question was so forcibly
visua1ized. Certain it is that he crit
.icised, ,unsparingly,. all the things
written on the ledger in the cartoon,
and it was a fair Inference that he
would wipe the accomplishments OF
the books, OIL at lease revise them.
Everybody knows that Mr.. Hughes
gave the Wilson administration no
credit for the accomplishment of any
thing.
This, however, is not SO important
now. The campaign is closed, but it
is worth remarking that Mr. Wilcox
and the committee of which he is
chairman, were responsible for such
r~epugnant pictures as that showing
the President as having neglected"
Americans, which so incensed Con-
necticut militiamen back from the
border that they tore down the signs.
Mr.. Hughes was not free from this
kind of Misrepresentation. He dila-
ted upon the eight-hOur law, ignoring
the record of Republicans in Congress
on the Adamson bill; he talked about
American rights, while ignoring the
Republican vote on the McLemore res
o%lution; he talked about bread lines
and unemployment, and blamed the
Underwood-Simmons tariff for condi-
lions that were worldwide.
And then, there was the fairness ,
of Teddy, the ''truthfuIness" of Lodge
and other radical spell binders, who
did not hesitate TO discredit the coun-
try in the eyes of the world for parti-
san advantage. To be sure, the Colo
mel is a privileged character and no
rule of reason applies to him, but
when Senator Lodge advanced such
charges as that concerning a postscript
to the Lusitania note, and used the
sinking of the Marina to further his
purposes, the charge of Democratic
misrepresentation became simply re-
~diculous in the eyes of the country.
Mr.. Hughes did anything but tote
fair" and he richly deserved the lick
ing he got. His hackers are said to be
quite convinced now that we can elect
a president without the aid of New
York and Illinois, or either of those
pivotal" states and their corruption
fund.

unwarranted.

cumstance that Candidate Hughes hap
pened to be in the supreme court to
participate in the above decisions,
where he voiced his honest sentiments,
as to the monopolistic combines and

LDWEST SHOW IN
SOUTH FORK
SECTION
SETTLERS OF THE SOUTH FORK
TO STAGE SHOW SEPTEM-
BER % AND 23.
VEN|SON BARBECUE FEATURE
Bull Fight and Barbecue Two Big
Features of the Show-Free
to Everybody.

Doc Denny, the originator of Border
Days, came out from his homestead on
the South Fork this week and while In
the city announced the settlers of that
section Of the country have organized
and will give an entertainment of wild
western stunts on September % and %,
the show to be known as the South
Fork Round-U The entertainment
will open Friday morning, September %
and run night and day until midnight,
Saturday, September 23.
There will be all kinds of wild west
stunts but the two big features are
bull fight, the first of it's kind ever
pulled off in Idaho county, and veni-
son barbecue at which choice viands
will be served and all will be given O
liberal helping of venison. There will
be dancing for all at a big dancing
pavilion each evening and this with q
crowded program of bucking contests,
bun riding, bulldogging steers and
various other cowboy stunts through
the day will make two days of exciting
and enjoyable entertainment.
Everything will be free and all that
is required is that everybody coming to
the entertainment throw a loaf Of
bread, a can of beans and slab OF
bacon on their saddle, the same to be
used in the big feed which will be pro-
vided. Everybody will be taken care
of, the idea being to have big camp
and doing the cooking in a sort Of
wholesome way with something extra
in the way of broiled venison.
The scene of the festivities is twenty
miles from Grangeville and' can be
reached over very good trail. The
show will be held on the Diamond 8
ranch, owned by Day & Markham and
is a very pretty spot. There is plenty
of shade and many camping sites. The
people of that section have decided to
give their Grangeville and outside
friends two days of real pleasure and
enjoyment and while they do not intend
putting up a program like Pendleton,
you will get more genuine enjoyment
and pleasure from the little show to be
staged on the South Fork than you will
in the same amount of time spent at
Pendleton to say nothing of the saving
in money.
Those who are active in the affair
are Doc Denny, Bob Markham, Allen
Day and Lloyd Day, are putting forth
every effort to make it great show
and are extending most cordial invi-
tation to the public to join them in the
celebration.

carp CALLS FOR HELP WHILE IN
BATHING AND MARTIN
RESPONDS-BOTH
DROWNING.

The Clearwater river claimed two
victims Tuesday afternoon when Dick
carp and Albert Martin, two young
men of the Mt. Idaho section were
drowned in what is known as the Big
Eddy, a deep swimming hole in the
river about quarter of mile below
the electric light plant.
According to information available
as we 90 to press Dick carp and wife,
his father, Joe carp and Martin were
down at the river below the light plart
for the purpose of fishing and bathing
Tuesday afternoon. Young carp had
entered the stream and his wife, who
was unable to swim but was to receive
her first lesson on the fatal day, was
wading in the shallow water when carp
cried out, "come to me!o Mrs. carp
naturally thought he was suggesting she
enter the deeper water and receive her
first instructions. Shortly after he
cried out, "come help meo and this
time by the manner in which he spoke
as well as the expression of agony on
his face Mrs. carp realized he was
calling for help.
Martin, who was standing near
plunged into the stream to assist and
was grabbed by the drowning man,
who on account of being the larger
of the two, pulled him down, both men
sinking and Martin never coming to
the top. The top of Earp's head came
above the water for minute and then
sank out of sight. Mrs. carp spreao
the alarm and a number of men includ
ing those at the power station and Axel
Hinkle responded but it was too late
The river was dragged and the bodies
recovered at practically the same spo1
