ROOSEVELT VOTE
GOING TO HUGHES
James H. Gipson Says Pro-
gressives in Idaho Will
Support G.. 0. P.

That the Roosevelt vote OF four
years ago in Idaho is largely going to
Charles Evans Hughes, Republican can
didate for president, is evident from
an interesting interview secured from
]. II. Gipson. chairman of the Hughes
Alliance at Republican state headquar-
tiers. Chairman Gipson said:
''The work of building up the Hughes
Alliance in the state of Idaho is pro-
ceeding very satisfactorily. Up to Sat-
urday at noon, 26S enrollments had
been received at the alliance head
quarters, covering 33 out of 81 coun-
ties in the state. 1t is interesting to
note the political affiliation in 1912 of
those who have enrolled. Sixty-five
voted for Taft, ITO for Roosevelt. 8
for Wilson, and voted the Prohibi-
ton ticket, while 81 of those enrolling
did not give their choice for president
in the last election.
Taking the enrolment by counties,
find that Canyon leads with 62. Ada
coming second with At. Minidoka being
third with 20 and Bonneville fourth
with 10 enrollments. The counties
which have not yet been heard from
are Benewah, Boundary. Franklin and
Teton, but 1t is expected to have the
work well in hand in these counties
this week.
The work of securing enrollments is
being conducted entirely by correspon-
dence and by volunteer workers In
every part of the state. most of whom
are former Progressives who were ac-
tive fG~ Roosevelt in 1912.
1.-THE showing in Canyon county is
due In part to the active interest taken
by ]. e. Sturgeon. candidate for coro-
ner on the Republican ticket, who has
been q staunch Republican. and who
is aiding the alliance while conduct
ing his canvass
Il believe that many county candi-
dates could work most effectively for
their own election in the same way,
and any who are not supplied with
blanks and who are willing to take up
the work should write at once for a
supply"

IS BEFORE THE
SUPREME court
Commissioners of Latah
County Appear in Answer
to Citation Case Involves
County Tax Levy.

Cited for contempt of court for max
ing special road tax levies instead of
general levy and for violating the
courts instructions and order in this
regard, A. S. Lyon and John Wooday,
members of the board of county COM
missioners of Latah county, appeared
before the supreme court today to show
cause why they should not be held in
contempt. The case is one of unusual
interest to Latah county and is said
to be playing a conspicuous part in
the political situation there, due to
the actions OF the commissioners.
c. j. Orland appeared in court as
attorney for the commissioners. e. G.
Boom, county attorney, and his assist
ant, A. L. Morgan, also appeared in
the case. II is held by some of the
taxpayers of the county that the COM
missloners were in error in making
special levies for the districts, but that
a general levy should have been or
dered Before the time has lapsed for
making the levy the supreme court or
dered and directed the commission
ers in a writ of mandate to make a levy
to be expended In the district. where
It originates. In fact of the writ the
commissioners are charged with hav-
ing gone ahead and made the special
levy or levies.
The commissioners put up as their
defense that they acted under the ad-
vice of the>county attorney. that they
had no intention of violating the in
structions OF the court but thought
they were well within the law wher
they acted. The argument was spir-
ited and attracted number of inter
ested spectators to the court cham
bers. The supreme court may take
summary action in the contempt case
