NORTH IDAHO THINKS VAN
STRETCHES THE TRUTH
Campaign in Shoshone County Was
Dismal Failure.

Clarence Van Deusen. we'll known in
Caldwell and Canyon county. is a can
didate for state auditor on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Mr.. Van Deusen has
been campaigning in north Idaho. The
following account of the Van Deusen
campaign in Shoshone county is taken
from the Wallace Miner:
Clarence Van Deusen. Democratic
candidate for state auditor. addressed
an audience in this city last Tuesday
evening which is conservatively esti-
mated at about 40 Considering the
extensive advertising his meeting re-
ceived. the attendance can hardly be
regarded as encouraging to his candi-
dacy. Mr. Van Deusen appears to be
a man with grievance. but just what
it is or why he is nursing it is quite
impossible to understand. The bur-
den of his story is that he was the
first man to unearth the Allen and
Coleman defalcations and that he
called it to the attention of various
members of the legislature, including
members from this county. This may
be true. this paper does not pretend
to know. If it is true and Allen and

Coleman had not been called to ac-
count, then Mr.. Van Deusen nigh,
have some ground fir his grievance
and the voters might be disposed to
reward him for his vigilance. But the
matter of who first discovered the
shortage is of little concern to the
people of the state, The real ques-
ton that concerns them, now that Al
den and Coleman are behind prison
bars. is to know who put them there
and who recovered the money they
stole and restoned it to the state. This
was done by Republican state officials
and Republican officials of Ada coun-
ty, and it is not recorded that Mr.. Van
Deusen played any conspicuous part
in the proceedings.
When Mr.. Van Deusen recited his
story of the Allen-Coleman defalca-
tions before Kellogg audience last
night he was called down in a man
ner that completely disconnected him.
He had reached that point in his re-
marks where he asserted that he had
served personal notice upon Walter

the legislature from this county. that
Allen ad Coleman were defaulters,
when M. ]. Sinclair stood up in the
audience and branded Mr.. Van Deusen
as a id liar" and stated that he
was prepared to make an affidavit that
he never received such notice. He
vigorously reiterated that the speaker
was a lair. much to the confusion of
the Democratic candidate for auditor.

DEMOCRATS MIX HARMONY
MEDICINE AT MEETING
O'Conner Elected Chairman and
Buckner State Committeeman.

Mr.. c. w. Drew, the duly elected
precinct committeeman of Wilder
stated at the meeting of the Demo
cratic county central committee held
in Caldwell Friday, that he could not
and would not support the entire
Democratic county ticket. He sup-
gested that it were better that another
be appointed committe eman for VIII

been previously ascertained that he
could swallow the ticket whole, was
substituted for Mr.. Drew.
Harmony in Gobs.
1t seems to be the opinion of some
county cohorts to get the state COM
mitteeman at any cost. The commit
teeman was got in the person of Mr..
Ihos. E. Buckner who, we are told,
has pledged himself to vote against
Joseph I. Pence for chairman of the
State Central Committee In the pro-
motion of harmony Mr.. w. P.

There were l6 committeeman pres

number was declared a quorum. Mr..
Buckner was named as temporary
chairman and R. A. Young of Middle
ton was made temporary secretary.
On suggestion of the chairman, the
numerous county candidates present
were called upon to give their ideas
regarding organization of the central
committee. Nominations for perma-
nent chairman were then called for
and c. w. ,Whiffin nominated Fred
Davis of Nampa. Chairman Buckner
was then placed in nomination and his
name was followed by that of w. P.
O'Conner of Nampa.
Buckner demurred to his nomina-
ton, but it was necessary for him
finally to state that he would resign
if elected before some of the unin-
formed committeeman consented to
his withdrawal. Whiffin then imme-
diately withdrew the name of Mr..
