WATERS GAUNTLET
Continued from Page IL


Waters promises to do some scratch
ing" himself.
Now we do not care how much the
Hon. j. A. Waters scratches" but in
the said article he saw fit to use our
name rather unfortunately and the
Twin Falls Times of October II, takes
advantage of the article signed by the
Hon. ]. A. Waters to put forth
heavy double column editorial in
which the Hon. ]. A. Waters, Repub-
lican, is lauded as a citizen of the
first magnitude by a Democratic edi-
tor who is a candidate for the legisla-
ture and very much interested in
Scratching"
We were amused at the article and
surprised that the Hon. j. A. Waters
would sign his name to such state
ments and had no thought of replying
until the article was copied and COM
mented upon.
We are accused of having had a
personal platform" whatever that
may mean, and of having had but
single thought throughout the last
session of the legislature, county divi-
sion
If the Hon. ]. A. Waters will fresh
en- his memory by referring to the
house journal he will find that our
name is one of twenty-five, in connec
ton with his own. who signed and
stood sponsor for II. B. No. 142, pro-
viding for statewide prohibitions that
we supported and voted for every bill,
and took an active part in every ques-
ton that came before the house that
was for the betterment of the state !;
that we put in as much or more time
and work on committees as any men,
Der of the house, having been a mem
Der of the reference committee, to
which every bill that was introduced
in the house was REFEREED the investi-
eating committee, the hardest worked
and the most distastful committee OF
the session; the committee on educa
! ton, one of the most important; anC
the committee on banking, requiring
time and attention. We were not alb
sent from a single session during The
entire term.
Now, honest, Hon. j. A. Waters, does
j this look like personal platform,
f or a single thought?
S We quote from the article "ThiI
