Rupert, April 2o.--At a meeting OF
Progressives held iii Rupert Tuesday
the following delegates were elected
to represent Minidoka county at the
state convention in Boise, April %.
q. G. Isenberg. O. +. Allen, H. Eyres,
c. G. Nelson, H. c. Pheian, William
Merkel Oliver Martin, c. E. B. Rob-
erts and Wilson Bowlby.
The following resolutions were
adopted
Resolved, that we continue to stand
firmly on the principles which have
been so vigorously upheld by Progress
sives Of all the political parties.
We especially declare for more
equitable distribution OF the fruits of
industry. for putting the man before
the dollar and for limiting the preda-
tory power OF the great aggregations of
capital. We condemn the political
methods so prevalent in the past,
whereby the will of the people has
often been set aside by trickery and
corruption, and we believe in bringing
the conduct of government closer to
the people and in SO distributing the
responsibility that officials can be held
accountable for inefficiency and ex-
travagance.
THAT our position Is well known is
evidenced by the fact that In the last
presidential election our candidate had
eleven times as many votes in the
presidential electoral college as the
standpat candidate. We also contrib
uted materially to the defeat of an un-
desirable candidate for governor and
we elected more county officials than
any other party in this county.
I'VE expect that 1t win be unneces-
sary to pat separate ticket in the
field at the coming election and hope
to return to our several parties with a
renewed determination to stand for
clean politics, good government and an
adherence to principles which will put
the man and the issue before mere
party eSpediency.
We especially condemn, however,
the pretended effort at reunion in this
county which was aimed to secure the
resignation of Republican committee
isen elected by the people, and so ma
nipulated as to secure for q small and
unpopular clique representation on the
Republican state central committee.
and larger influence in county and
state affairs. We find that only two

NEW YORK IS NOW

Tribune Comes Out for the
Colonel's Nomination ~
Vote in Illinois Shows
That State for Roosevelt.

~ coming out for Theodore Roose-
FELT for the Republican nomination for
President the New York Tribune has
reated stir in national and state
Politics, the effect of which Is diff
ult to estimate. The Tribune took
hits stand in face of the fact Justice
Hughes has been considered the ''fav-
rite SON. of New York. The Tribunes
ttitude, however. is taken to indicate
nat the Roosevelt sentiment is grow
|ng withesuch rapidity that Republic
IAN party leaders cannot afford to
.onger turn deaf car to the demand
nat Is being made for the gentleman
rom oyster Bay.
In a letter to one of the Progressive
party leaders in this state, George w.
Perkins. chairman of the executive
ommittee of the Progressive national
Committee, says:
The movement of the Republicans
ere in New York which Endorsed Mr..

~ taken in coming out fiat-footedly
Sr Roosevelt and giving the reasons
my 1t feels that it cannot be for Mr..
Root or Justice Hughes. Scarcely any,
hing could be more important than
his action on the part of the Tribune"
The other very important event of
he past week has been the primary
tote in Illinois. The facts about the
Eote IRE as follows:
"First-MediIl Mccormick some time

primaries of Illinois and contest for a

These two results in the Illinois pri-

arrange to hold a basket picnic in one of
the city parks.

ments and to secure the cooperation of

A Talk On the Care Of Your

Your child is now well into his school
work; his school is onehalf over. How

Have you thought to notice his eyes (!
You know that even if he is suffering
from eye strain he may not realize lust
what is the trouble. 1t is one of the
most important duties of parents, un-
fortunately often neglected, to keep
careful watch over the eyesight of their
children.
Notice your own child today. See
how he holds his book he is reading.
Is it too near his eyes9 That some.
times may only mean carelessness, but
it generally means that the eyes need
attention.
Has your child any tendency not to
look squarely at an object; does he
blink or squintl Does he ever have
any difficulty in recognizing people at
q distance. In any Of these cases you
should have his eyes examined without
any delay. Slight eye troubles FIRE.
quently can be entirely overcome; but
if not attended to promptly they tend
to become more serious and permanent.
A thorough examination is exceed.
ingly important and in order to con.
vince yourself bring your children to
me, never recommend glasses unless
they are absolutely required, If your
child already wears glasses you should
watch his eyesight even more careful
