Log Runs Over Women.

Mrs. L. E. Olson, living on Wells
bench, was seriously injured Saturday
when she was crushed beneath roll
ing log, some 80 feet long and more
than foot in diameter. Mrs. Olson
was out with one of the little tots
watching her husband clear some land
and her baby was toddfing below the
log when it was decided to start the
log and roll it down the hill. Mr..
Olson, probably unnoticed by his wife,
picked up the baby and placed it out
of danger. Then he started the log.
With the exclamation ''Oh, my
baby!" the mother sprang forward
over the log, and was crushed beneath
the rolling timber. She was bruised
and for time was splitting blood,
but is now reported doing nicely and
her recovery assured.

Prominent Democrat is Sued.

C. w. Miller was up from Lewis
ton the first of the week in the inter-
est of his damage suit against James
w. Blake, president of the Fidelity
State Bank, also prominent democrat
of Clearwater county. Mr.. Blake
is accused of permanently injuring
Mr.. Miller some two and half years
ago when he kicked Miller, who was
leaving the bank. The case comes up
for trial in Lewiston on the 17th.,
Mr.. Blake. who has lived in Orofino
for many years, not caring to submit
his case to jury of men in his home
county where he is we'll known.
Mr.. Blake was recently elected dele
gate from Clearwater county to the
democratic state convention at Poca-
tello, under instructions to vote for
the Elder patronage machine. Up to
two years ago Mr.. Blake pretended
to be republican, and it has been a
hard blow to the Grand Old Party to
lose this man. To show their appreci-
alton of Mr.. Blake the democrats
chose him delegate to the Pocatello
convention.

Macbeth Cites Other Incidents.

Regarding further abuse of federal
patronage on the part of the national

High School Play was Good.

The High school play Saturday
night was good, the various parts be-
ing admirably cast. The young
people sustained the characters like
professionals. The only criticism
might be suggestion that some of
the lines were not quite loud enough
to be heard all over the hall, but the
crowd overlooked this because it is
the Distinguishing feature between
the amateur and the professional
The various makeups were better than
amateur performances usually are,
for which credit is due Prof. and

Lecture on India.

The lecture by DR.. Boggess of India
was one of the most interesting and
instructive lectures on conditions in
India that has been heard in this
place. Almost every available seat
was taken and the lecturer held the
closest attention of the audience for
almost an hour. 1t is doubtful if
any missionary ever had as large or
as attentive an audience 10 speak to
in Orofino.

teeman Robert H. Elder has used his
position to see that friends and rela-
tives are placed in positions are cited
by Senator Ravenel Macbeth of Gus
ter county. 1t is also alleged that
abuse of the federal patronage is be-
ing made in the attempt on the part
of the Pence Nugent- Elder faction to
bring about the appointment of c.
w. Whiffin of Caldwell for surveyor
general with the proviso that he tie
up to the present national committee
man and deliver that county to him,
demand the Democrats of Canyon
county are said to have coolly turned
down. They take the stand that
Whiffin should be appointed on his
ability and merits or not at all.
Another instance is cited in Bon
ner county where it is charged that
the Pence -Nugent- Elder people gained
control of an Endorsement for Elder
by tying up the county organization
thru the appointment of postmaster.
1t was argeed that the postmastership
should only be placed on the under
standing that Elder was to have the
county delegation in the state con-
vention if he sought reelection for
national committeeman.

BOOtlegging Cases.

The District court records show
that the bootlegging cases have not

Orofno Tribune and the Elk River
Sentinel insist We'll admit that the
county records are wrong. We got
our information from County Auditor
Kaufman, who is clerk of the court.
Perhaps l. R. Grow dismissed these
cases, and forgot to tell Judge

ing any change. Mr.. Smith has done

any reason for change it has not

Flag or Rag. Which?

Is it showing proper respect to the
flag of our country to display from a
Federal Post Office tattered and torn
bit of dirty bunting, having more the
appearance. of dish rag than flag ?
This is not politics, nor said because
Mr.. Blake is post master, but because
of feeling of reverence for the flag.
Our post office should have decent
flag or haul down the rag.

Human rights and popular govern
ment are at stake in Idaho at this
time, so far as the democratic party
has anything to do with county, state
or national government. On the one
hand is the principle of the primary,
involving the rights of the people to
participate in government. On the
other hand is Elderism, representing
all that is Objectionable in the spoils
system, assuming all authority and
all power, and insisting on governing
for the people without the consent OF
the people. Nor is this strong
enough. Elderism presumes to gov
ern the people over the protests OF
the goverened, and no self-respecting
free people can long remain free who
submit to this sort Of usurpation OF
popular government. The American
citizen who condones Elderism is sur
rendering his God-given birthright,
purchased in blood and wrested from
kings only after years of bitterest
struggle and greatest sacrifice.
Elderism means one-man rule; it
means an unscrupulous machine rule,
not for and by the people, but the
rule of the people by political boss
for the machine. The issue is be-
tween government Of and by the
people and government of the people
by political patronage machine.
represented in Nez Perce county by
George Tannahill, and by the Blakes
in Clearwater county.
This machine forced P. H. Blake,
over the protest of large, majority
of the democratic patrons of the Oro-
fno post office, upon this COM
munity as post master. And the
head of this machine is National
Committeeman Elder of Occur Acne
city, who is the head of the democrat
ic patronage machine in Idaho, get
ting his power from Woodrow Wilson,
democratic president of the United
States
Two years ago P H. Blake was
kicked bodily out, of the Clearwater
county democratic organization. He
was deposed as county chairman.
Out of twelve precincts in Clear
water county the old Blake machine
retained five. E. H. Hilton moved
from Elk River to Occur d'Alene
city, Kootenai county, leaving the
democratic county organization stand
four Blake and eight anti Blake.
And when the Clearwater county
democratic central committee met II
Orofino last week every Blake com
mitteeman was present, while,
through an inexcusable blunder on the
part of County Chairman Garrison,
the anti-Blake forces mustered only
1.-TWO present with one proxy held by
County Auditor Kaufman. Mr.
Garrison blundered again when ht
talked of harmony holding out the
olive branch to Blake ward heelers
and in the interest of harmony
seated E. H. Hilton of Kootena
county, to represent Elk River.
These blunders were inexcusable
and show lack of judgment. Withou
Hilton there was no quorum, ant
without quorum the county chair
man, when he saw the Blake gan,
had the majority, could have post
poned the meeting till the full com
mittee could have been present in per
son or by proxy. If Mr.. Garriso
deliberately turned the county organ
take the consequences. He is 9
least lacking in any degree of leader
ship, and should resign.

In making formal announcement of
my candidacy for the Republican NOM
ination for governor, | feel that it
would be presumptious for me to in
wade the province of a platform con-
vention. At the time and place fixed
by law the platform conventions will
assemble and announce platforms on
which all candidates must make
their appeals. The platform promul
gated by my party at that time will
be my platform, and it will be my
duty, if nominated and elected, to use
whatever influence | may have to-
wards fulfilling the pledges made.
If | am successful that duty shall be
performed.
| believe, however, hat the duties
of public servant are not restricted
to advocacy of the things contained in
patform, but extend to all things
that are for the public good. | feel
that every candidate should have some
thing to offer to the public to justify
the support he asks. To be content
with declarations for law inforce
ments, economy, business admins
tration of the states affairs and for
high standard of public service is
not enough. All good citizens favor
these things, and no candidate is
worthy of support who does not favor
them. Commendabe as they are, they
alone will not bring relief to the
people of the state.
There are certain policies which
believe to be of overshadowing i'm.
portance, and if elected | will
earnestly urge their adoption
Among these are:
Conversions of Idaho's resource:

making the earnings therefrom pay
