to be regretted that more were not
permitted to atteld d as the program was
excellent and the speakers specialists
in their lines.

COUNTY FAIR

Within the last twelve months there
has not been offered such an oppor-
tunity for fun and mirth as is offered
to those who will attend the County
Fair" at the school building on next
Saturday evening. ST Perkins, his
family and all the country side are
coming. Constable Bill with his six
deputies will be there also to keep the
peace and thus insure unlimited fun to
the merry makers. Vaudeville shows
and side shows the number of more than
a score will furnish every variety of
fun to please the most eXacting.
Many of the shows will be real and
others of nature of a take of, but none
the less worth the price. All the
shows in the vaudeville are honest at
tempts to please any audience. All
amateurs except one, who is a profes
sional wire and trapeze performer. We
shall be indebted to Mr.. McMahon for
this act. We shall owe him our thanks
and appreciation but not a money re-
muneration, for he has kindly offered
to help us without charge.
SO far as athe amateurs are concern
ed, the evening performance is to be
known as amateur hight.' Though
this is something new in Grangevile,
the term is probably understood by a
large number of people. The plan is
this; all amateurs who please the au-
dience may remain upon the stage and
complete their act, but if any fail to
please as noted by the lack of cheer
ing on the part o. the audience, then
such actor will be hooked off the stage
by large hood. The audience will
surely appreciate this way of satisfy
ing themselves if any punk acting is
forced upon them.
Indications are that very large
number of people will attend this enter.
tainment. The entire high school
student body will appreciate to the full
extent a liberal patronage. The pro-
ceeds will go to meet expenses incurred
in both literary and athletic activities.
Admission to the vaudeville perform
ance will be 10 and 20 cents except to
those who will buy an admission ticket
to the school building before Saturday
Such ticket will admit one to the school
building and to the vaudeville for an
additional payment of 5 and 10 cents
! ne admission to the various side
shows will vary from to six cents.

REPORT OF NORTH AND SOUTH RAIL-
ROAD COMMISSION FILED DEC. 26

North and South Railroad Commission,
signed by yourself and Mr.. Day, as
chairman.
the Commission, is now in New York
City and l will forward the report to
him for his signature before making
it public.
Upon receipt of the report signed by
all members of the Commission, | shall
be very glad to give the report the
greatest degree of publicity possible.
Yours truly,
NJ Alexander,
Governor.
There are still some manifestations
from certain political quarters that the
road will not be built, and politicians
still assert that the building of the
road will not be by railroad engineers,
but that it must be engineered by some
political machine The efforts made
to the present time show determine
tion on the part Oh those interested to
quietly work for the connecting link
and to lay aside the political matters
in the interest of the building of the
road which will so greatly benefit a
large section of the state which is still
deprived of good transportation facili-
ties. The report of the commission
when made public will show the efforts
already put forth. The ways and
means of making the road reality will
be formulated following the publiea-
tion of the report and undoubtedly will
be announced soon thereafter.

CAPTAIN DAVIS SEEKS NOMINATION
ON PERSONAL QUALIFICATIONS

Nampa, Idaho, January II, 1916, using
for his subject "'The Underlying Cause
of Bad Government in Idaho,' prefac-
ing his remarks with a biographical
sketch, and gradually enlarging into
the publication of government, bad
conditions being laid to the door of
leaders of both parties, and consider
able mention being made of the raids
on the state treasury in which two re-
publicans, Allen and Coleman, figured
so efficiently, and who already have
exhibited their splendid nerve by ask
ing pardon board, Of which the maJo-
rity are republicans, to free them from
their confinement. In justice to Sena-
tor Davis he does not accuse the demo
cracy of the state in being concerned
in the treasury steal, ana urges the
conditions as reason for pressing need
of reform in republican ranks and a
clean, honest and uncorrupted leader,
for which position he modestly suggests
himself.
Stands tAlone and in the OPEN
He definitely states that he stands
alone and Gin the open," and as he has
not been as pet pre-primary choice of
politicians of the state Tor the candi-
dacy of governor, he criticizes in q
manner not indefinite in meaning, ef-
forts to seetionalize the candidacy for
gubernatorial honors, and in this re-
gard he states as follows, in part:
On Pre- Primary Choices.
I'm certain quarters an effort is ,.
parent to sectionalize the vote for
governor and to select candidate q.
the basis of residential qualification 1s !;
in other quarters an eIlort is appar-
entely being made to force the nomin =.
tion through the old time machine
methods which are in large part res
ponsible for present days evils. In
either case success could come only
through violating the spirit and intent
of the primary law; and judging fro a
all past experiences, we can be cer-
tain that neither of these methods of
selection is calculated to give us such
man as the needs of the state de-
mand.''
Sets For Himself Hard Task.
The Captain is decided in his express
sions all the way through, and in view
of the fact that he is trying for candi-
dacy on the republican ticket he has
set for himself hard task as announc.
ed in his statement that:
Is Against Political Combinations.

SCHOOL OF oRAroRY

Herman Hussman, former deputy
sheriff of the county and a young man
with many friends here and the west
side country, has gone to Boston, Mass,
where he has entered a school of ora
tory. No doubt Herman will be with
US this fall and join the throng of spell
binders who will be out to save the
country. One certainty, Hussman will
have somthing to say and will know
how to say it, two sadly lacking qualifi-
cations of great many of those who
inflict themselves on the public.

IN SPEECH AT NAN1PA, JAN. IL,
HITS EVILS OF POLITICS AND
LAMBASTS SOME PARTICU-
LAR REPUBLICAN TnANS-
GRESSIONS.

Announcement of the candidacy of
Captain +. G. Davis for governor of
the State of Idaho have been sent out
over the state released for publication
January 13, 1916. The Free Press was
favored with some of the data furnish
ed by the captain and although the
Free Press is Democratic in it's beliefs
and although the Captain is offering
to clean up bad governmental condi
tions created and untouched through
a long period of Republican misrule in
the state, through candidacy on the
Republican ticket, space is freely given
to the Captain IS bow to the public.
As Captain Davis is not the choice of
either the Pocatello conference, where
another Davis was chosen as pre-prim
arv candidate of South Idaho, or of the
recent love feast of local politicians
badly affected with the political itch
at Lewiston during the stock show, and
cannot hope to carry much favor and
gain decided support through the
staunch and true organs of the machine
in the state, Captain Davis is entitled
to some notoriety and annoupcement
even though it comes through the
medium of Democratic newspapers, and

of the fact that Alexander is at pres
ent governor of the state and is looked
upon with increasing favor for the COM
ing term by the majority of the voters
of the state, irrespective of political
beliefs and affiliations.
Native Born Idahoan.
Captain Davis boasts of being ma
tive born Idahoan and having gained
an intimate knowledge of state affairs
during service as state representative,
secretary of Governor Haines and as
assistant attorney general, and as his
term of service extended up to the time
of the outgoing of the last Republican
administration and during the time GER
tain officers in the state treasury and
land department gained such notoriety
and efficiency in the NAL -administra-
tion of state moneys and affairs, he is
doubtless well informed as to the evils
of bad government in Idaho and suf-
ficiently convinced of the need of con-
tinued vigorous reform such as in
augurated by Governor Moses Alexan-
der.

paign with an address delivered at

HTS THE SPOT.

Harry D. Wilson. Democratic
nominee for state commissioner
of agriculture. said at the Farm.
ers' Short Course at Baton
Rouge:
"What 1 consider the greatest
question before the Louisiana
farmers is the marketing prob
lem. and | am golngto do my best
to bring about better selling ia
cilities and better results Lou
isiana raised the finest oats, and
yet when she sent them to the
New Orleans and other markets
the farmers were paid less than
for oats from other sections. l
cannot see why. and will try to
change that status"
Mr.. Wilson is eminentlv correct
as to the Importance Of markets,
for Louisiana farmers can never
make a success of Investigation
until market for their products
is assured. If he will devote
himee'f e9rn"stlv to that end and
succeed he will indeed render a
great service to his state.

There has been much adverse
comment upon the federal law
requiring newspapers to publish
semi-annual statements of owner.
ship, management and circulation
Most newspapers regard this law
as persecution, and none of them
can find any good reason for re.
quiring the publication of such
statements.
Some publishers give express
sion to their opposition to this
law when they make their state
ments. For instance, the Mineral
Wells Index points ut that Ralph
Shuffler is editor of the Olney
Enterprise. The federal law re-
quiring publication Of private af-
fairs of the newspapers causes
Editor Shutfler to add to his form
al statement the following:
"Besides the many things
enumerated above. the said RI.
Shnffler has one wife and one boy,
paid cash for his marriage H.
cense. is blue eyed and partially
bald.headed and Is darned
poor checker player. He owns
three red pigs. two of which are
boy pigs, and the third a female
of the species; an old worn out
and a nice. fat corn
on each foot. He owes for one
and a corn-cob pipe
which he bought today. The in
formation in this paragraph is
not specifically required by act
OF congress, but is just as much of
the public s and the postal de-
partment's business as the part
they did require. and l guess
1amsite more interesting; and,
It's true to the hest of my knowl-
edge and belief"
