George E. Crum
Visitor Here
he IS A CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
North Idaho Candidate Seeks Support For Repub-
IiCan Nomination

George E. Crum of Lewiston,
one of the aspirants for the re-
publican nomination for govern
or, is making a trip through the
north part of the state in the in
.terests of his candidacy and
spent Thursday in this city. He
is a pleasant gentleman to meet,
a good mixer with hearty hand
shake that makes a stranger feel
as though he is meeting an old
friend.
He seems to be banking to a
great extent for the success OF
his campaign upon the fact that
north Idaho has not had the gov
ernOF in twenty years. He feels
that with two and possibly three
candidates for the nomination in
the south part Of the state and
with the promises. OF support
which he has also had from that
section that he has good
chance to secure the nomination
unless there are other candidates
from the north to divide the vote.
In an interview with repre-
sentative of the Record he said:
Naturally l expect to be nom
mated and elected. l will do
my best TO bring the governor
ship to the north. Two decades
have passed since North Idaho
has had an occupant OF the CUB
ernatorial chair. This year,
believe, will prove an exception
to the rule and Idaho will elect a
governor from the north. If
am elected it shall be my sincere
purpose to give to the state the
highest service OF which 1 am
capable. The administration OF
the state government should be
along strictly business lines and
with a view always toward giving
every man a square deal"

HOMECOMING FARMERS
DECREASING In U. S.

Washington, d. C.-While the senate
was considering the question OF rural
credits, Senator Sheppard said that a
vast and growing number of American
farmers are reduced to such conditions
that they have no land to offer as Sc
curity for loans, no means to acquire
land which they might offer as security
for loans OF balances due on purchase,
and hardly enough left after the land
lord, the merchant and the banker are
paid from the proceeds of their crops
"to keep body and soul together until
another crop is made"
The Texas lawmaker quoted figures
to show that tenant farmers are increas-
ing and farm-owning farmers are de-
creasing, and that less than 5000, 900
families in the United States own their
homes free from membranes and
nearly 1,000,0 900 families live in rented
homes, according to the last census
He declared that IAN ariStocracy is
rapidly developing in this country, built
on the concentrated ownership of lands
ana dlSO on tnc concentration OF other
forms of wealth, an aristocracy that
riots in unmeasured luxury, an aris-
tocracy for the most part selfish. in
different and cruel"
The speaker referred to the land rec
concentrations of Secretary of Labor
Wilson as "an epoch-making sugges-
ton These provide for the holding
by the government OF all public lands
and the acquiring OF other lands, to be
used by citizens on longtime payments.
This plan also provides for the develop
ment of farmers through governmental
educational agencies.
Senator Sheppard said that the best
preparedness was to make this country
nation OF homes, and he presented an
amendment to the federal constitution
empowering congress ''to purchase land
anywhere in the United States, hold
improve, subdivide and sell the same
and also to make loans for the purpose
OF encouraging and promoting farm
home ownership i'll the United States" 3"
1t was shown that the people OF Mas
sachusets, in November, 1915, amended
their State constitution along similar
lines by a three to one vote.

FAVORS RESTRICTION.

Yreka, Cal.-The Journal of this city
declares that the repeated votes by Con-
gress in favor of immigration restric-
ton can no longer be said not to voice
popular opinion.
"A nation that fails to assimilate its
immigrants says the Journal, suffers
from an acute attack of indigestion. This
is no fault of the Government, but is
due, probably to too great an influx in
a given time of foreigners 1t is in the
position of a man who has eaten more
than he can digest When a man thus
suffers he abstains from eating for a
time, or eats but sparingly. 1t is this
fact that leads an increased number of
American citizens, anxious for the coun-
try's welfare, to ask if it is not better to
check immigration for time, and do 1t
by imposing literacy test.
Under ordinary conditions the ques-
ton is important, but it is now of un-
usual moment, in view of the fact that
the close of the war will make the inn
migration problem even more acute than
ever. The prospect now is that the end
of the war is nearer than seemed posi-
bic a few weeks ago, and when it comes
it is altogether likely that millions of
peasantry and others will seek to escape
the burden of crushing taxation by COM
ing to this country. The United States
likes to be hospitable but present con-
ditions make it necessary, judging from
Congressional action, that the nation
guard its own safety

GARMENT WORKERS LOCKED
OUT.

New York. 49, Last Saturday the
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers
Association OF this city struck another
blow III its opposition to the Ladies
Garment Workers Union by locking
out over 10000 employees.
This union and the manufacturers en-
tered into an agrccmcnt-known as the
prOtOCol-Scptcmbcr ., 1910. This con
tinucd until May 20, 1915, when it was
abrogated by the employers, whose as
soclatlOn, the unionlStS charge, has
come under control OF a small group
hostile to the union. In July, 1918, "A
council OF cancellation was appointed
by Mayor Mitchell and accepted by
both parties. Wages were increased
and piece work standardized. The coun-
cils decision was supposed to hold for
two years, but the action OF the employ
crs has placed it with the protocol
in the discard.
The employers insist on individual
bargaining Before the present lock
ont the Employers Association refused
to confer with Mayor Mitchell in al
effort to adjust the difficulty. Oscar
:. Strauss, who, together with othci
citizens, have been striving to aver
a break, made this comment on tn,
employers snub to the citys cxecu
tive:
Il cannot understand "A body OF bust
ness men, a body OF manufacturers
daring to put themselves in this wrong
position before the community. | thinl
ii should be borne upon them, anC
doubtless it will be from this meeting
that they have put themselves in Al
indcfenslble position in declining tc
come here and place their grievances
il they have any their reasons or oh,
jections, il they have any, before the
public"

Cleveland, O.-Statc Mediator Fred
c. Croxton announced May 0 that the
ninc-day strike of six hundred electri-
clans here had been settled. The men

said.
The men asked for Is cents an hour.
They have been getting 6sM cents. The
settlement provides they shall have 20
cents at once, 72E cents in three months,
and 10 cents May /, 1917.
The settlement was reached early the
morning of May ., after an all-night
meeting of representatives of both the
union and contractors with CroXton.
CroXton received a message from Co
lumbus that Mayor Carroll Thornton,
of Youngstown, had requested that he
be sent to that city to try to effect an
agreement between manufacturers and
striking machinists and other union
workers, who are threatening to strike
in that city. Mayor Thornton has been
trying to get the employers and workers
together, and believes Croxton could be
of material assistance.
