JEROME A. BRADBURY
PAY US A VISIT.

The Enterprise office was favored
Saturday with a call from Wilbur L.
Campbell, candidate for probate judge,
on the democratic ticket, l.. A. Wisener,
editor of the Free Press; Thomas M.
Atwood, candidate for assessor and
Jerome A. Bradbury, candidate for
county treasurer. These gentlemen
were out in the interest of their candi-
dacies with the exception of Mr..
Wisener, who was returning from the
Kooskia fair. Mr.. Campbell, who is a
popular attorney of Grangeville, is max
ing many friends and is confident that
if he can only meet enough of the voters
before election day he will have no
trouble in being elected. T. M. At
wood, who has farmed for many years
in the Winona section, needs no intro
duction in these parts. Tom will get
a good strong vote in this section of
the country. And Mr.. Bradbury, most
generally known as "Brad' also has
many friends here, not only for his
pleasing personality but for the
fact that he is one Oh the best accoun-
tants in this part of Idaho and that he
has used that capability in this past in
the interest of the county. Those who
know "Brad' best back him the
strongest, which is the very best re-
commentator for an office of any
thing we can think of.-Stites Enter.

SEEKS HUSBANDS PARDON.
Sites Woman With Children Is at the
State Capital.

Few people in Boise care whether the
state board of pardons meets in regular
session today or not. But with Mrs.
Inis Miller it is different, says the Boise
Statesman. With three of her children
she is at the Manitou, having come
Sunday to ask today for parole for
her husband, who is in the penitentiary
only to learn that the board was not
likely to meet, owing to the absence
of two of the members from the city.
Later, however, she was much relieved
to learn that the attorney general would
be present and the board would con-
vene without the governor.
James H. Miller was tried and con
victed on charge of horse stealing in
Idaho county and sentenced to serve
from to IA years. He was committed
September 26, year ago. Previous to
his trouble he was the owner of 800
acres of land mile and a half from
Sites which was fairly well stocked
and had 100 acres in cultivation. By
the time his trial was completed there
was mortgage of $4,000 on the home
and the personal property had been
disposed of to pay the debts incident to
his defense.

RETIRED FROM SPEAKING rom

Boise, Idaho, October 10. A pentle
man who has just returned from tba
East, asserts that United States Senate,
Borah was forced to retire from his
speaking tour in behalf of Hughes and
Fairbanks by the Wall Street interests
for the reason that he was making
specific promises of progressive legisa.
tlon. The Senator was first told that
he must change the text of his speeches
and deal with generalities and plati.
tudes, as Hughes did before he took
his stand against the Adamson bill
This the Senator tried, but found il
to do. The interests charged
that Borah was becoming as abnoxiOus
to "Big Business" as La Toilette and
Bryan, and that he must not be permit
ted to speak for Hughes. To put it
plainly, one of the spokesman for Wall
Street asserted, "Borah is talking too
damn much for the rabble.n
There has been no explanation given
by either Senator Borah or the National
Republican Committee for Borahs re.
tirement from the stump and the state.
ment herein is generally accredited in
political circles.

crowd are determined to make opposi.
