Hubby Acquitted

George Passeur of Douglas, was tried at Juneau Tuesday on the charge of wife desertion. After hearing the evi- dence Commissioner Marshal acquitted him. Passeur and wife were married in Juneau in September, 1913, scarce three years ago, the latter being l7 years older than her husband, who was ouly % at the time, not exactly ease 8f May and December, but of some thing like April and the 20th of Oc- tober.

COL. ROOSEVELT
IS URGED TO PAY
VISIT TO IDAHO
James H. Gipson Sends
Telegram to Colonel, Ask
ing Him to Speak Here
During the Campaign.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has been
invited, in fact urged, to come to Idaho
and Boise to deliver at least one adj
dress in support of the Republican ma
tional ticket. Colonel Roosevelt is now
on the stump vigorously attacking the
policies of President Wilson and ]. II.
GIBSON acting chairman for Idaho or
the Hughes alliance with headquarters
in the Idaho building, has wired him to
come to Boise before Nov. Z and speak
to the people of this state on the ma
tional issues. 1t is possible the former
president may take advantage of the
invitation and visit this city on his
western trip. The appearance of
Roosevelt in support of Charles Evans
Hughes, the Republican presidential
nominee, it is conceded would do much
toward swinging Idaho into line for
the latter.
Colonel Roosevelt made his last APP
pearance in Idaho four years ago. At
that time by u supreme court decision
the Roosevelt presidential electors of
the Electors Progressive party were
stricken from the ballot but in spite of
the fact 25,527 votes were cast for him.
Those close to the political situation
in this state at that time believe that
IL the electors of Idaho had not had
to write in the names Of the four presi-
dental electors, but instead their names
had been on the ballot, Colonel Roose-
welt would have carried Idaho by
comfortable plurality. AS it was the
state went to Wilson by plurality of
I'LL. In view of what transpired in
this state at that time, it is said Colo
mel Roosevelt may give serious consid-
Grafton to an invitation to come to
idaho during the present campaign.
At least Mr.. GIBSON will endeavor to
bring about a visit of the ex -president
to the Gem state
The selection of an executive COM
mittee to work with him in the Hughes
alliance and carry out it's plans and
purposes is now occupying the time OF
Mr.. Gipson. He is also busily engaged
sending to Progresslves in Idaho a
statement of his plans for the cam
paign and inviting them to join the al
lance. Encouraging reports are being
received from all parts of the state.
