SUPPORT HUGHES
MARTINS PLEA
FORMER PROGRESSIVE CANDI-
DATE FOR GOVERNOR APPEALS
TO OTHER PROGRESSIVES
States Position Plainly-DecIares
Hughes Stands For Progressive
Principles

G. H. Martin of Standpoint, progress
sive candidate for governor of Idaho
! in the 1912 campaign, in letter to the
Daily Star-Mirror received today, de-
clares his intention of supporting
Charles E. Hughes for president in the
present campaign. Mr.. Martin is one
of the strongest progressive leaders
in the state and takes the lead in Ida
|ho among the progressives in returning
to the republican fold. Mr.. Martin has
been frequently mentioned as possi-
BILE candidate for attorney general on
the republican ticket, but he gives no
indication of his desire to be a candi-
date in his letter.
AS once the head of the progressive
party in Idaho, Mr.. Martins statement
will be taken everywhere as the fore
runner of the death of the progressive
organization in Idaho and of the re-
turn of it's former members to the re-
publican party. His letter in part
says:
STANDPOINT, Ida, July 1S.-To the
Editor of the Star Mirror, Moscow, Ida.
Dear Sir: Will you kindly announce
through the columns of your paper that
I shall support Mr.. Hughes for presi-
dent in the coming election. Having
allied myself with the progressive par
ty in 1912, and having been its candi-
date for governor in that year, and
having supported the party since that
time, feel that it is only fair that |
should announce publicly what my at
titude will be in this campaign.

vention was held, poll of the bust

MENT ON WAGE ISSUE
Getting 25 Cents Per Hour For Nine
Hours Work, Seeking So For
Same Period

Contending that there has been dis
elimination in wage rates, that work
has been irregular, and that a higher
rate is warranted, the men on the con-
crete gangs employed by the Spokane
Asphalt Paving company went on a
strike at 11.30 this morning, and at
the time of going to press this after
noon were holding out for three dol
lars for a nine-hour day. Superintend-
ent Crane lin charge of the work
here, stated that he was without au-
thority to alter the wage scale, and
that nothing could be done toward
meeting the demands of the men until
the matter was taken up with the
home office.
Heretofore, according to the work
men, two dollars and two and half
have been the rates paid to all en-
ployes except those brought here by
the paving company, their wages be-
ing as high as four and half a day.
Bad weather shortage of material and
other things have been responsible
for irregular employment, and there
seems to be general dissatisfaction
with the wages. A spokesman for the
striking workmen, said this afternoon
that three dollars for a nine-hour day
is what the men want, and will stand
out for.

believe President Wilson is honest
and sincere but his policy in Mexico
and his dealing with other nations
have been of such contradictory and
vacillating character that he has
brought the United States into disre-
pute in every foreign nation.
Some progressives are supporting
President Wilson, some may vote a
third ticket, but it seems to me, en-
tirely without criticism Of the course
which other progressives may feel
bound to pursue, that the duty of every
progressive is to support Mr.. Hughes.
Questions of domestic policies must
necessarily be left for later determina-
tion but, upon these, l am clear that
Mr.. Hughes stands for substantially
every policy which the progressives
have adopted and l feel sure that no
will ever have cause to re-
gret that he supported Mr.. Hughes.

ST. PAUL, July 19.-The national
prohibition convention opened here
today. J. Frank Hanly of Indiana and
William Sulzer of New York are seek
ing the presidential nomination. Sulz-
idential nomination. Sulzer is report
ed to be speeding to st. Paul hoping
to arrive in time to prevent Hanly
adherents from nominating a candi-
date one day ahead of the scheduled
time. Religious bitterness is notice
able The American federation of
patriotic societies, an anti-Catholic
organization, is supporting Sulzer.
'The call of the hour is the chal-
lenge of a supreme opportunity, to an
unparalleled sacrifice. These are the
words of triumph,-Peace, Prosper
ity, and Prohibition. Elect prohibition.
Write woman into the constitution.
Turn out the exploiters of the people.
Take private profit from war. Stop
the slaughter of peace. Save America
and serve the world"
In these words Temporary Chair
man Daniel A. Polling concluded his
keynote address at the outset of the
convention.
Mr.. Polling, declaring that the pro-
hibition party was now the sole rep
resentative of progressivism in nation
al politics, extended an official and
hearty invitation to the 100000 vot-
ers who supported the progressive
party ticket in 1912, and suggested
that whatever the technical name of
his own party should be upon the Of
fetal ballot this year, it would be
known henceforth as the. Liberal Par
ty of the United Sattes.
Expressing the evidently over
whelming sentiment of the conven-
ton, Chairman Polling assailed the
campaign of militaristic preparedness,
arraigned the republican and demo-
cratic parties alike for what he al
legged to be an eXtravagant waste oil I

cal reform in the treatment of i'm
migrants, the development of

tive use of the United States army in
time of peace, and the immediate en-
actment by federal statute and amend
ment of woman's suffrage and various
social reforms, he concluded his
plea with the dictum that Prohibition

hour had come to change the popular
slogan among temperance forces of

A MATTER OF PARTIsANsHIP.

There is all the difference in the world in the manner in which citizen looks upon his party at- fliations The difference between the man who looks upon his association in political party Op- portunity to aid his party being instrument of public service and the who looks upon party sue cess. with its patronage and emoluments an end in itself is as wide as that between the poles.
 Last night many people in Juneau heard man declare tbat it not only the duty Of every Repub- llcan to vote for every Republican upon the official ballot but to vote against every Democrat upon it. whether the Republicans have candidate against him or not.
 Compare that with the statement of Senator sul- ger from the same platform the night before:
 "I hold the welfare of the Territory above any political party or political organization and if elected to Congress win do my very best to represent every man. woman and child in the Territory in any way which is to their best interests Any question sub mtted to me will be questioned to where it or iginated. Whether it comes from the working men, from small corporation or company or from large corporation will not be taken into consideration.

The total vote was 619-545 to 72, two votes being thrown out.
 By this vote the people of this city have de- cided that Juneau is to have school house and equipment adequate to present needs. will give the School Board an opportunity to expand the public schools of the city. permit them to introduce vocational training and advanced courses in the curriculm-
 The people also adequately justified the course Of the City Council in sending Councilman James H. King to Washington to secure the passage Of the law authorizing the election.
