The Spanish War Veterans Of
Tacoma have also heartily endors-
ed the army post idea. In their
endorsement, which has been re-
ceived by Mayor Fawcett, they call
attention to the fact that the or
ganization is composed OF men
who have served in the army or
navy in time of war, and that by
reason of their experience in such
service they are able to appreciate
the necessity for adequate mill
tary preparation.
The endorsement carries the
pledge that every member of John
r. Thompson camp, the local
Spanish War Veterans organiza-
ton, will cooperate in every way
possible and work as hard as they
are able, to insure a big majority
for the bond election.

sure that every boy would be glad to
stay a short time longer and help
bring about that result. In reply to a
question in regard to this, Captain
Wilson replied in the affirmative. Con-
tinuing DR.. Shepherd said that he had
letter from the board of foreign mis-
sions in which the hope was expressed
that things could be adjusted without
war, and he was sure that every boy
and every mother, would be glad to
have this result accomplished if pos
sible. He did not like the word
'avenge," except so far as it might re-
fer to Villa and his band. The Mexi-
cans were ignorant. They had a coun-
try at one time larger than ours. In
their ignorance, they felt bitterly its
loss and were hard to deal with What
ever, in his opinion might be done, OF
might have to be done, he felt that il
was improper to conduct a campaign
of vengeance. Someone raised the
question of the shipment of arms into
Mexico, but before this was disposed
of, the meeting adjourned to allow the
mothers to shake hands with Dr. Viii
son and look at his pictures. DR.
Wilson was evidently tired as a result

in the primary campaign
Davis admits his connection with
the Brady interests in so many words:
81 would rather be selected as a rep
resentative of the vast interests of
Senator Brady in Idaho" says Mr.
Davis in his speeches, than to have
made money by selling overalls and
socks" This cheap bit of financial
snobbery is resented by merchants
and by the average voter.
The chief value of the Brady inter
ests in Idaho is represented through
his holdings of electric power stock
of the great electric power combine
that controls all the hydro-electric
holdings of southern Idaho.
Mr.. Davis is one of the trustees Of
the Brady interests and therefore is
directly connected with this great
power combine. Through Brady and
the Brady machine he is closely al
lied with various big interests, among
them the sheep industry of the state,
which is DESTROYS of gaining control
of the vast millions of acres of grazing
land through southern Idaho which
they hope to do through his plan of
speedy sale of all the state lands un-
der his "taxless state" scheme. He is
also connected in the same way with
the great syndicate interests of the
state which hope by the same meaens
to get control Of the remaining tim
Der holdings of the state.
This is the financial side of the
question. The political side is equally
as significant. There Is not Brady
hacker, consequently not Davis
bacser in this campaign, who is not q
political enemy of Senator Borah
Davis is given full benefit of the great
political machine built up two and
four years ago by Senator Brady, be-
cause through the election OF Davis

which he could and would build up
