have the skill and the experience that

We have heard another suggestion

seems to have some merit. That is
after a proper examination give man
a license for a term of i've years in

for a license each year and in The

ACCUSED WOMAN ON
VERGE OF COLLAPSE
BY CARL D. GROAT.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Newark N. j., Oct. 2s.-Crushed by
the jury's failure to clear her Of the
charge of murder. Mrs. Margaret
Claire -Beutinger gave way to hysteri-
cal outbursts in the county Jail tonight
and verged on nervous collapse
"Oh, what must a woman stand from
q brute of a husband" she moaned,
and then "oh, what will become of my
babies" The jury that tried the little
dark eyed woman for murder after she
shot and. killed her wealthy husband
in her bed room, was discharged by
Judge Martin this afternoon. 1t had
rejected the idea that a married wo-
man had the right to protect herself
from her husbands unwelcome ad-
vances by taking life, if necessary.
but had f. lied to agree on the degree or
homicide after p hours deliberation.
Reports were that the jurors stood 10
to for manslaughter with punish
ment rangin gfrom probation to 10
years Imprisonment. None wanted
first degree murder, it was said. Wo-
men who attended the trial We're indig-
nant at the failure of the jury to bring
in prompt acquittal. They were con-
fident that Mrs. Beutingers story of
the cruelties she said she had suffered
at the hands Of her giant husband
would win her freedom. Any jury OF
women would have brought in a mot
guilty verdict they said, without leav-
ing the box.
Mrs. Beutinger's counsel will move
Mon day for her release on bail pending
a new trial Nov. 20. A new witness
may be a former Honolulu reporter
who wrote to her while the trial was
in progress:
IF you are the same little woman

undoubtedly be the most strenuous
one as we have two and three meet
ings scheduled for every night until
the close of the campaign. Monday
night Ira Barber and l.. w. Thrailkill
will speak at Franklin school, while
Joel Brown Of Meridian will speak at
the Victory school and Judge Adams
and NJ. l. Church will speak at Five
Mile school. Tuesday night Joel
Brown will speak at the White Cross
school, and there will be a meeting at
the Hillsdale and the Saxton schools.
Attorney General ]. II. Peterson will
address the citizens of Barber on the
issues of the campaign, Some of the
most telling arguments why the voters
should support Hughes for president
are made by Rev. Joel Brown of Me-
ridian. Mr.. Brown is a minister and
was formerly Progressive, but is now
strong in his support of Hughes and
of Davis. Mr.. Brown will address the
citizens of Boise at the Odd Fellows
hall at Thirteenth and Eastman streets
next Thursday.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
I'VE desire to call the voters at
tention to the two constitutional
amendments that are to be voted upon
at the coming election. The first one
is to amend our constitution so as
to permit the sale of 100 sections of
school land in the place of % sec
lions. and the other is an amendment
forbidding the sale and manufacture
of Intoxicating liquors. Both are i'm
portant amendments and should net
be overlooked by the electors.
Another matter the attention of
the electors should be called to and
that is an election of justice of the
supreme court. There are two candi-
dates. their names appearing in the
column to the right under the caption
of Non Partisan Judicial Candidates.
The names of the two candidates are
Robert n. Dunn of Occur dAlene and
John c. Rice, of Caldwell.
From information received at our
headquarters many of the electors be-
lieve that they will not be entitled to
vote unless they have registered. This
is not the law. Those who voted at
the last general election or the recent
primary election are entitled to vote
without again registering; those who
did not vote at either of said elections
and who are residents of Idaho and of
the precinct for 80 days are entitled to
vote upon being identified by some
freebooter of the precinct where they
vote. If an elector has removed from
the precinct where he last voted he
may get a transfer on election day
and vote in the precinct wherein he re-

COUNTY TICKET IS
PERFECTLY SAFE
DECLARES Blaine
County Chairman Reviews
the Situation and Says All
Is Well With the G.. o. p.
in Ada.

The Republican county ticket will
win from top to bottom at the cleo
ton Nov. Z, in the opinion of S. E.
Blaine, chairman of the Republican
county central committee. In state
ment issued last night reviewing the
developments of the week.. he says
great interest is being taken in the
political situation. A warning to vote
for the constitutional amendments is
contained in the statement, which is
as follows:
THE week just ending has been a
strenuous one for the Ada county Re
publican committee. besides polling
most of the precincts of the county, it
has had u strenuous speaking cam
paign covering nearly all parts of the
county. The large audiences that We
have had the pat week are very en-
couraging to us for a Republican sue
cess. The voters are anxious to hear
the issues of this campaign discussed
and the halls where we have had our
meetings have always been filled to
their capacity. Many of those attend
ing our meetings are anxious to get
our literature. Especially is this true
of the speech of Senator Borah, winch
is in great demand, it having been
printed just recently.
Never before have the members OF
the Republican party taken greater
interest in our governmental affairs
than they are doing this campaign.
There are many who come to the head
quarters asking what they can do for
the success of the Republican party,
who have not heretofore taken an ac-
tive interest in politics. The people
are beginning to realize the grave sit
uation that confronts this government
during the present crisis, and are con-
corning themselves of the situation OF
this country after the great war I'M
der a Democratic administration. The
campaign slogan that the Democrats
have kept us out of war is losing its
effect and the voters are no longer be-
lieving that the present adminstra-
ton is honest in what they say in re-
lation to our foreign affairs. The best
evidence of this is that all their speak
ers treat the matter with ridicule
while in fact it is a most serious af-
fair.
MAJORITY ONLY CONCERN.
Our state and county tickets are
now very optimistic over the result
of the election on Nov and are now
only concerned over their majority In
the places where we have held our
meetings we have had with us some
of the county candidates and they are
always received with enthusiasm.
There is no doubt but what Ada coun-
" will have a bigger majority for
the Republican ticket than at any re-
cent election.
while our poll is not completed the
result of that which we now have is
