INDUCING IN soPHIsrRY.

AS to be expected, Governor Alex
ander is INDUCING in sophistry in
his vociferous efforts to lay claim
20 having saved the state a million
dollars.
The million dollar mystery" has
not been solved, Notwithstanding
the governors frantic efforts to
make himself out the financial Moses
Of the state.
The total amount of the legisla-
tive appropriation for 1913-1914 was
81, 4O5 .2S6.6S. The total amount OF
Legislative appropriation for 1915-1916
was $2,153, 476.70.
The legislature of 1913-1914 au-
thorized to be raised by taxation ST.
100000 which with the income of
the state was sufficient to meet
the appropriation. for the two years,
OF 81, 405 ,2866S. The Haines admin
istration met It's obligations.
Now then, the legislature Of 1915
authorized to be raised by taxation
for the biennial period of t915-1916,
81 100000, which with the income
of the state would not equal the sum
Of 81, 153, 476.70 within from $780,
900 to $SO0, 900. Governor Alexander
held club over the Legislature
and repeatedly informed the mem
bers of the Legislature that II the
amount authorized to be raised by
the Legislature for state purposes
was not reduced to 81 500, 900 he
would convene an extra session oil
the legislature and force the legis-
lature in that way to his terms.
Although the state board of equal
cation In 1915 was authorized toll
raise 3750,000 by taxation to meet
The running expenses of the state,
Governor Alexander insisted that

THE STRAW VOTE.

OF course there is no dependence
to be placed upon straw vote"
unless it happens to look good for
ones own political rarty. Put any
how, here is bunch of figures
from a Democratic source, the Gin
cinnati Inquirer, which is the simon
pure article of the United States.
1t took a straw vote in Kentucky,
Ohio and Indiana, and here are some
of the results that 1t gives after
the investigation: On one day the
returns showed that in Ohio, $50
Democrats had changed to Hughes,
and one Republican had gone to
Wilson. The Indiana returns show
ed that 43 Democrats had changed
to Hughes, and only one Republican
had changed to Wilson. In Ohio, 176
Progressives said they have gone
to Hughes, and II to Wilson. In
Indiana II Progressives had gone
to Hughes and IA to Wilson. But the
most surprising change was in Ken
lucky, where the report showed that
the ratio Of the Progressive change
was 63 for Hughes to 81 for Wilson

o. W. DAVIS FOR GOVERNOR.

Mr.. Davis comes from the humble
walks of life. His boyhood and yout
we're OF the most laborious charac'
err. He worked early and Late fc
a pittance-first as breaker DO!
/ in coal mines, later as clerk in
small grocery, toiling late Into thu
night. His success both MATERIAL,
and personally has been the result
of untiring effort, reinforced BY
courage and merit He has grown
with the years, making of discour
agement stepping stone to further
success.
He is personally honest and his
word can be depended upon.
The feeling with which Mr. Davis
Is viewed by both his personal
friends and business associates may
well be considered "a correct meas
ure of the man in regard to his In
tegrity and the sacredness of his
plighted word.
When elected governor the people
may depend upon him to devote
not a part but all CT his time ard
energies to the business interests
of the state and the performance Of
the duties imposed upon that Off
Ger.
He will not attempt by sre ia III II
and bizarre performances to advance
his own personal or political inter
ests at the expense of the people
whose servant he will be and to the
detriment Of the state. He will be
the man on the job-not part of the
time, but always.
He earnestly desires to imprcv7
the condition of the farmers and
other producers of Idaho through
well considered plans to lower taxes
and to provide money at a low rate
of interest for farm development.
He demands and will secure al
better system of accounting In the
state and the various counties and
the adequate safeguarding Of the
finances of the state and the coun-
ties.
There is perhaps no branch of
the public service so greatly needing
and change as that of pub
lie accountancy. Mr. Davis educa-
ton and business experience has
given him especial advantage not
only in appreciation of the need of
radical change in the interest of
The public service, but also in knowl-
edge Of the steps necessary to al
healthy change In these regards.
His business for a number of years
rs banker has made him thoroughly
acquainted with the errors and dis
of the present system both
n the state and various counties
He stands four square 10 the
world, and no man need doubt for
An instant his position on any ques-
ton of public Importance. This has
been strikingly illustrated by his
position in regard to the temperance
question and the continuance OF the
liquor traffic. At time when the
advocate was viewed
With suspicion by many of our peo-
de and knew belief in prohibition
vas stepping stone to political OBJ
ivion, Mr.. Davis position was wide
y known through his own acts and
gishes.
Mr.Davis is "a candidate for COVER
or animated by high sense Of the
uty owed by the citizen to the
tate and to his fellows. In his every
ct as an official he will be guided
y the same motives that have been
he mainsprings of action in his bust
ess and social career-an insistent
emand for square deal on the
art OF others to himself, and equal
Y on his part towards others.

 To be restored, accepted, loved, for
 given?
 Sorrow and signing are for those who
 roam,
 I shall have found bliss when I go home
