THE @BuLL TERRIER SPECIAL"


To the Editor Of the EveAing Ledger;
sir-The attacks that have heen made on
the women's campaign train do not do any
great amount OF credit TO either the heads
or the hearts Of the women's Democratic
opponents. The particular point or attack
has been that the train was financed IA
part by women who either possess large
fortunes themselves or whose husbands pos
sess them. why any special oboquy at
taches 10 obtaining subscriptions from those
most able TO make them II Is difficult 10
see certainly II has always been the pro-
cedure OF all parties at all times TO per-
NIT even TO persuade. all adherents or the
party 10 subscribe 10 as Mar iund 10 the
best Of their ability. Both rich and POOR
have contributed 10 the w0men's committee
Of the National Hughes Alliance and 20 the
train fund out West. where the writer Of
this statement formerly acted for some
months as organizer for the women's com
mIttee, the most usual contribution was one
silver dollar, heavy contribution IL is
frue AS any one who has lived out West
and carried around $40 or S12 In coin Of
The realm can testify; but Of particular
value In this election because II typlies the
interest OF the comfortable and OF the poor

of Parma, vice chairman of the Idaho
Irrigation and Drainage Code commits
sion, who together with other mem
bers of that body made a special
study of the Carey act problems and
the irrigation industry last year, is
strongly urging the election of T. A.
Walters of Caldwell, for attorney gen
eral. Mr.. Walters is a candidate on
the Democratic ticket, and came with
in IA votes of defeating ]. H. Peter
son, the present incumbent, two years
ago. In giving his resans for the sup
port of Mr.. Walters, Anderson said:
at is seldom that an opportunity is
given the voters of the state to have
up for their consideration as worthy a
candidate, and one as well fitted, for
attorney general as they have this
fall in the person of T. A. Walters.
The high esteem that Mr.. Walters is
held in, generally, over the state is
best shown by the splendid vote he
received two years ago, when he came
within a few votes of being elected
attorney general over the present in
cumbent. In Canyon county where he
is best known, he rolled up hand
some majority two years ago, and this
year he will come out of the county

ton and promised to support legisla-
ton needed for the solution of the
trouble Judge A. w. Ostrom told Of
the duties of his office, and referring
to the Meredith letter, through which
attacks are being made on Governor
Alexander, told of conversations that
he had had with a brother of Mere
dith in which the statement was made
that Meredith was himself victimized
by certain agents.
Harvey COggins spoke of his office
and promised to conduct it in the flu
ture as in the past Sheriff Kendall
pointed out the savings made during
his term. County Attorney Davies
spoke on political issues briefly and
also on the duties of his position. Cor
onor c. j. Crosby also talked about
his position and asked the suffrages
of the people if they were satisfied
with him.

Salmon situation, celebrating on the

speakers were all well received.

In Utah, not only do the straw
votes indicate that Wilson will carry
the state, but the Salt Lake Tribune,
the leading Republican paper of the
Great Basin, says that Hughes betters
are no longer offering money on the
general result. 1t said Sunday:
"The supporters of Nephi L. Marris
forged slightly ahead yesterday in To-
cal betting circles, but the amounts
were small, and only even money was
offered on the state result. President
Wilson remained the favorite in the
national results, although some OF the
larger amounts offered were covered
by the Hughes hackers. However,
there are a number of wagers on Will
son not yet covered. One Hughes sup
porter was so dubious of the result in
the national election that he asked for
odds of two to one"

with much larger majority than he
did then.
"Walters is a self-made man in its
truest sense. What he is today is not
because of pull or stand-in,' or mon
ey or rich relatives. Nothing like
that for him. Hard work has been his
lot from his early boyhood days. He
was born nearly thirty-nine years ago
in a log house in Clayton county,
Iowa The poverty of his parents pre-
cluded him from getting any aid from
them for the education that he so
earnestly desired, but like other self
made men who have gone over the
same rocky road, poverty did not dis
hearten him. After many struggles
and privations he succeeded in get
ting a common school education. He
then taught school and earned enough
money to enable him to secure col
| lege education. He is a graduate OF
the law department of the university
of Iowa Mr.. Walters has been a resi-
dent of Idaho for about ten years, and
has always been a strong factor IN
the upbuilding of his home town and
county. Nearly year ago he was ap-
pointed a member of the state board
of education, and since that appoint
ment has been an indefatible worker
for the upbuilding of our splendid
school system.
"He has made a special study of If
rigation law and the problems pecu
liar to the industry of irrigation, an'
is himself the owner of a large bod,
of irrigated land in the Southwestern
part of the state. His large irrigation
law practice is indicative of the ap
probation in which he is held by tn
irrigation interests of southwestern
Idaho.

Several of the auto dealers in Twin

that some definite attempt will be
made to charter a special car and thus
secure a low round-trip rate from the

than his party. President Wilson has
been gaining. He is much stronger
than his party. The two are now
practically tied for the lead.
"Out of a total of 10000 straw votes
taken in the thirty-six states, Mr..
Hughes has a plurality of 1927. Last
week, out of total of 107 ,403, he had
a plurality of 1926
"In this gram total, however, there
are incorporated 1896 votes from
California. This is out of proportion
to the rest of the country. California
is, from all indications now discerni-
BILE, the one Republican stronghold
which is holding true to its standards.
Therefore it would be hardly fair com
putation. to include so large a group OF
votes from there, any more than II
would be to include the same number
from a state like Tennessee or North
Carolina, which are just as strongly
Democratic
IF the vote of California were cui
down two-thirds, which would make II
commensurate with the rest OF the
states, the closeness of the contest, as
