Every indication points to the election
of William A. Guinea, as states at
torney in Cook county, Illinois. The
nation may expect the Socialist
party to climb into second place as a
political power"
BY D. Leigh Colvin national secre-
tary Prohibition party:
The Republican party will poll the
largest vote in its history Tuesday,
not less than 100000. Reports indi-
cate we will elect seven congressman
and possibly one United States sena :
tor.
1t is our purpose to force the issue
Tuesday by polling such an over
whelming vote for prohibition that the
national party in power during the
next four years will have to heed the
voice Of the people for nation wide
prohibition.
I'VE are looking for strong support

who have paired their votes and will
vote for Hanly to aid the cause of

STATEMENT
BY DAVIS DENIED

The statement made by D. W.
Davis in his speech at the Pin
ney Saturday night that white
pine timber had been sold by a
Democratic administration in
Idaho at 20 cents a thousand, is
an untruth, wholly unjustified
for the reason that he protested
to speak from the record. That
record consists of the contract of
sale In the state land depart
ment and is easy obtainable. It
will show that the lowest price
at which white timber has ever
been sold by any administration
in Idaho was 81 a thousand"
The above statement was
made after the address by
Former Attorney General Frank
Martin.

DARLING LECTURE FAIRLY WELL
ATTENDED,.

Nels Darling, the community boost
er, lectured at the opera house on Tues
day night of this week under the aus
pieces of the local Ladies Civic club.
There was a fairly good attendance
and Mr. Darling said many good
things. He pronounced Grangeville
one of the most progressive towns he
has had the pleasure of visiting; COM
mented favorably on the Commercial
club and its activities spoke in most
flattering terms of the Ladies Civic
club and its community work, mention
ing among other things the public
drinking fountains which have been
installed by them, the ladies' rest room,
which is he work of their hands, and
the many other good works in which
they have been prime movers and the
guiding spirit.
Objections were raised to Mr.. Oar
ling's treatment of political matters i'll
his lecture and some one of the pat
rons interrupted the speaker with such
a statement However, he scattered his
criticisms pretty we'll around, hitting
both leading parties jolt or two. Still,
it is decidedly questionable whether a
lecturer who is supposed to be simply
public entertainer, should venture in
the political arena, especially at this
, heated period of the game.

GROWS FINE CORN.

j. g. Gregg was in town this week
with wagon load of produce from his
place near town. Among other things
he had seed corn with him that he
raised this year which would do credit
to "Old Missouri for its size and So
lidity. In spite of the fact that this
has been a cold, backward season, most
unfavorable to the growth and ripen-
ing of corn in such high altitude as we
have, this corn is well matured and
will make excellent seed for next year,
and having been acclimated by sea-
sons growth here, will no doubt do
better next season. This added to other
instances demonstrates the fact that
good corn can be grown on Camas
Prairie. Let us have the silos and the
corn in sufficient quantity to amount
to something. 1t means rapid ad-
vancement of stock and dairy inter

will not overlook.
Whether Mr.. Wilson wins his re-
election or not. one thing is most
decidedly sure. he will not aban don
the principles so essential in the
consummation of our industrial de-
velopment for the sake of office.
Leaving out what is in future con-
temptation for him to do in the
event he is reelected, he has al
ready consummated enough to full
ly justify his retention in office. The
voter looking three things squarely
in the face, namely; the Federal Re-
serve Banking Act; the fact that he
kept as out of war and averted a
nationwide strike of the railroad
employees, should out of gratitude
cast his vote for Mr. Wilson. | am
absolutely astounded to hear of an
effort in the State of Georgia to les
sen the vote for Mr. W:.3on in the
November election. do not lay
the blame of this upon the people,
but smart-Alec contingency who
have little hatchets' to grind; who
would without conjunction of con-

hope, in order 10 make some port in
their diminuitive canoe of selfish
ness. After surveying the situation
