JUDGES CAUTION in
casting BALLOT
Congressman .Mocraesen Issues Warn
ing in Regard to Amendment.


Congressman Robert NJ McCracken
issues a timely warning regarding
the proposed prohibition amendment
to the state constitution which is 10
be submittes at the coming election
to the voters of Idaho. He points
out in an interview those favoring
the amendment should use caution in
voting, taIdng care that theseperate
pink ballot which viii be handed to
them is voted first and then after it
is voted it is handed to ths election
clerk and deposited in the ballot box.
IN view Of the fact that people have
neglected to vote on constitutional
amendments in the past the warning
Of McCracken is timely
He said 1T goes without saying
that business and moral conditions in
Idaho have been greatly improved since
the state wide prohibition law has
become operative, and there can be
no doubt but that large majority
of the citizens of Idaho now favor
amending the constitution of the state
so that our present statewide pro-
hibition policy may be made perna-
nent At the last general election Al
600 voters who participated at the
election failed to vote upon the amend
ments then proposed TO our state con-
stitution Let it not be forgotten that
at this election, we will be called upon
to vote on two proposed amendments,
one of which is the prohibition amend
ment. These amendments. will appear
on a pink ballot which will be separ-
ate from the general election ballot
on which will appear the names of
candidates for the various offices.
Those voters who are in sympa-
thy with the prohibition amendment
should be careful TO mark. the pink
ballot first putting the x opposite the !
word yes and not fails to have the
election judge deposite it with the
arge white ballot in tie ballot box

As always when challenged fearlessly, President Wilson promptly flinched. He has not dared to make public the docu- ments in The state department. and bV failing to publish the names of the aHegcd cOnspirators during these seven months he has admitted that his statement was without foundation in fact.

The facts therein set forth furnish a complete and irrefutable condemnation of his own policy towards Mexico and to- wards Carranza.
 Murderous Carrancistas
 This authoritative statement issued by Mir Wilson through his secretary or state sets forth that Tor three years there has been continuous bl)odshed and disorder in Mexico; that Americans have been barbarously murdered. ard vast properties de- veloped hy American capital and en- terprise destroyed; that the murderers have not been brought to justice: that during the past nine months there have been constant invasions depredations and murders Cn Ameri- can soil by Mexican bandits: that American soldiers have been killed American ranches raided.

They were just Uncle sans men, and that was all AS long as that wa true I stood hy them just exactly as if their ancestors had come over in banks of the James WEer Virginia was founded. All that l asked was that they should he Americans and nothing else. If they were I didn't care whetHer they were Catholic. or Protestant or Jew ] didn't care Whe her their ancestors were born abroad or here. l would stand by them on their merits as men.
 Now. in just the same way here: If aGF of our fellow citizens in Ari- zona, New Mexico. or anywhere who are Of Mexican blood were discnm- hated against hy men of any other blood. l would fight for their rights just exactly as I would fight for the ~ights of anyone else: but in re- turn. | demand that they he them . selves. good Americans that they -tano for ;he United States and for the United States only.

 The Presidents Fear
 Thanks 10 President Wilson and the professional pacificists it is safe for Mexican bandits to murder Amer jeans and Chinese. ana to take their property, and the murderers and bandits are encouraged by the acts and utterances of the president of the United States and his authorized rep resentatiVes. Remember also that these bandits are the worst foes of the decent citizens of Mexico. and that these honest and law abiding Mexicans have been the people most damaged by President Wilson's policy Of tame submission to infamy. What President Wilson's motives are it is hard to guess. As reported in the press. not a few of MT. Wilson's own HAEI'iAtfS S kdht Altt EIOuHn lildl ne acts in this manner because he is in- fluenced by downright fear On Aug ust Sth last il was announced in the press that Mir. Frank B. Vrooman. democratic national committeeman, of Colorado, stated at Denver that President Wilson had wisely avoided war with Mexico because there are 4e0000 Japanese soldiers in Mexico and because both Germany and Japan are planning to overthrow the Mon roe doctrine and therefore war with Mexico would mean war with both these countries MT. Nrooman g premises are unsound. There is slight reason to believe that there are as many as 1000 Japanese Of military age in Mexico. But his statement. ii correctly reported tand it has not been contrsdictedl. Is a frank admis- sion and assertion of his belief. tho
