district court. The jury returned
e. truebills of Indictment, on a. ot
which Fred E. Wonnacott, pres,
ent county assessor, D. E. Dandy,
recently resigned county auditor,
Ray Thompson and w. w. Leep'
er, deputies, were arraigned Satur-
day charged with the "crime ol

in violation of section 6975 of the
Idaho revised codes" Mr. Dandy
is charged in II indictments, his
total alleged shortage, made up OF
small items, amounting to SI76. 90
during his term of office. The
shortages alleged against Messrs.
Wonnacott, Leeper and Thompson
consist of moneys charged to have
been received for personal pro
pcrty taxes but not paid over to
the county, totaling little over
5000. The accused men employed
counsel, obtained bonds and filed
demurrerS to the complaints.
Demurrers filed by Wonnacott,
Leeper and Thompson were asked
on the following allegations:
That the indictments are uncer-
tain in that they do not charge
which defendant received money
wrongfully; that the indictments
do not set forth who has the
money; that the indictments fail to
charge who appropriated the
money; that it is impossible to tell
which OF the defendants is guilty;
that the acts alleged in the indict-
ments do not constitute public
ottense; that the grand jury being
satisfied that irregularities have
been committed has returned
blanket indictment, hoping there.
by to learn whom the guilty may
be.

 The candidate was born in Shen- nandoah, Pa. He received bis early education at the public and high, schools of that town. Graduating from the latter institution with hon. ors he matrculated at Dickinson col lege. Carlisle, Pa. to pursue the study of law. With distinguished honors from that seat of learning he came to New Haven six years ago to take the state bar examinations for Connecti- cut.

 In 1913, 1914 a nd 1915, the young attorney was nominated for alderman but was defeated the three times by very close margins. That the voters of his district want him to represen them in the a1dermanic council has been evidenced by his selection again this fall. MT. Brennan is member of the Eagles, the A. O. H. and the Sheperds of Bethlehem. Every loyal citizen who seeks the betterment of his district should cast his vote for At torney Brennan.

For Congressman

The record of Jeremiah Donovan during his two years in Congress and his eight years. of service in the leg islature of Connecticut, is a record of deeds and not words. Ever fearless in public action and firm in the cou- rage of his convictions, he was one of those Democratic congressman select ed because of fitness, fearlessness and ability, to make the fight against "Ab- senteeism".
 Through his efforts members of Congress were aroused to a greater sense of their duties to their constitu- ents and in consequence President Wilson received the support so needed during his first years In the presidency
 Always an approachable man him. self, Jeremiah Donovan has ever been foremost in the service of the plain people. Always his vote and his voice have been for human rights.
 Born on a farm at Ridgefield Jere- miah. Donovan received his early ed- ucation at the public schools and the academy there and in early manhood removed to NorWalk where he first be- came a clerk in grocery store. La ter he engaged in business for himself carrying on wholesale grocery and liquor business. Some 22. years ago he retired from business \ bit his friends and neighbors were not satis- jed to allow him to retire from pub lie life.

 While MT. Donovan loomed into the limelight as a national figure during
 his service in the 63rd Congress, his
 career there did not surprise his friends. He voted for and advocat- ed the income tax bill He voted for
 and advocated the Clayton bill which puts an end to placing the labor of human beings on a par with common merchandise. He favored the child

 public utilities bill. He stood for the
 eight hour day for state employees at the capitol he aided in the restora- tion of'trial by jury on certain charges
 in this state. In 1911 he led the fight for honest weights and measures
 and he sought to have placed on the statute books law which would re- quire standard weight for loaf of
 bread. He also fought for the Full
 Crew Bill, a law intended to require
 the railroad companies to furnish daily, enough trainmen to operate trains safely.
