Election Laws Established by Custom

Almost every citizen after arriving a voting
age has observed laxity about polling places. The
comparatively few who familiar with the cleo
ton laws and probably not in hundred is
familiar with them, knew that there were in nearly
every precinct violation of the laws. They were
not. however regarded violations but rather
a disregard of the laws resulting in material
harm. We do not think though that there was
citizen of Arizona who had idea of the compre-
hensive and general disregard by election officers of
the laws.
In the investigation of nine ten precincts
within the last month least twenty violations Of
the laws have been proved In case have there
been fewer than five and in there
fourteen 1t is not to be presumed that these nine
ten precincts in class by themselves. 1t is
known that there were some others. In all, these
cases the violations of the law made known
rather by accident Not great deal of attention
had been given them the time: they had been
common before. But for the investigation of
Douglas Precinct No. l where it was known that
there had been actual fraud and whence the news of
it had, long before the contest, been spread all
the state attention might have been called at all
TO any of the other precincts for in only other
had there been official complaint of irregularities.
That Cottonwood precinct, of whose judges
within week after the election made a formal
plant TO his party central committee.
While many of the irregularities disclosed in the
various precincts harmless results there
is of them that in violation of a law
that intended a safeguard against fraud In
of the precincts the election boards
posed almost entirely of persons of political
party and in one Bisbee No. !, it had apparently
been necessary to violate another law order to
accomplish the violation of this onehere the board
made up largely of members of the same party

we find people that have not heard of
Christ is Christians have not been in
earnest The world listens TO the
Christian that starts out in earnest.
The church that is in earnest will help
fallen humanity and the world will stop
and listen. The man With q high pun
pose in giving Christ 10 the world will
be heard.
Then we have the foreign element
with us. America is the melting pot
of all the nations of the world. People
/ have come to our country to be helped
and they viii draw US under unless we
have the Christ between us and them.
They have come TO make America
3 mighty or make America corrupt: and
they will make America corrupt unless
America has the Christ with his love.
We hear the cry of the foreigner: he
needs the Christ to lift him into true
humanity and manhood. America needs
the Son of God and no other. Not the
Son of Good with theories and theology
of man, but the Christ who died on the
cross-and it is only the Christ that will
save the world.
You may talk of preparedness, you
may talk about lining our borders with
thousands of soldiers, you may build a
navy whose vessels will read around
the world; and none of these will save
America What this and all other ma
I tions need is Christ. 1t is only the
/ Christ that can conquer humanity and
only the Christ should be given to hui
mainly. Not a partial Christ. but Il
whole Christ; not a dead Christ. bat "a
living Christ. Not a cold Indifferent
! Christ, bat a personal Christ-one who
/ cares. Not Christ for the physical
| body alone, but a Christ for the spiritual
[ body-Christ as he was when he walked
! among men, as he was when he hung
! upon the cross. as he was when he as
| cended on high, as he is today at the
| side of the Father. Not a man made
! Christ but a God given Christ; he and
| he alone can save America.
We make this appeal because of the
/ New Testament plea. America is a
| free nation and she is crying for free
| Gospel, a Gospel that is not narrowed
! by man, a Gospel that is as broad us
! the Christ and as great as the Christ
! 4 Gospel without any prefix or suffix
q Gospel that is not selfshness. not full
! of hatred or bitterness, free from pre-
! iudice. Such a Gospel we find the New
/ Testament and this Gospel is the only
| Gospel that is worthy 10 be given to
! America.

Jesus sake-the one who gave his life
for us-are we not willing to go out

Long Island sound. The town seemed
to be a kind of private town. in
corporated and run by a certain
bunch of wealthy men from New

in the town or no public amusements,
but they have large Club house and
everybody in the town has an inter

school for children up to the age

They took us in two's or three's
to the different houses and made us
acquainted and we had some time.
Before dinner we went over to their

tables, bowling alleys, reading rooms,

GRAND MILITARY EXHIBI-
TION AT CAMP LEWIS

Camp Lewis, American Lake,
Washington, Dec. 4.-The most gil
gantic spectacle of it's kind ever held
in America, and one that is not like
ly to be repeated. is the military ex-
hibition which will take place Satur-
day and Sunday, Dec. 18th and 10th,
1T Camp Lewis, the great army can
tantoment of 1900 acres, located
near Tacoma, Wash, where the Ma
tional Army men who hail from this
vicinity are now in training. This
stupendous military exhibition,
which will also include the greatest
norsemanship show in the history
Of the West, is under the auspices of
the Auxiliary Remount Depot, No.
331, Captain J. w. Jackson, Q. M.
U. S. r., commanding.
That no one, coming from a dis
lance, may be disappointed, Captain
Jackson announces that the military
exhibition and horsemanship show
will take place whether it rains,
SHOWS or shines. 1--WE have to go
to war and fight regardless of wealth
er conditions" he declares, land the
boys are not going to let such mat
tiers interfere now"
Great bleachers to accommodate
$4,000 spectators, are now under
construction, with tentative provis-
ions for 10000 more. A splendid
half mile track, in which the various
parades and pageants will take place
is being built and within its circum-
ference is great arena for the stag
ing of the many other exhibitions.
When finished this will constitute
one of the greatest open air arenas
in the United States.
There will be eight regimental
bands in the opening parade. They
will play America while the audience
and soldiers sing. The Remount
Depot has $3.50 horses and mules
and 5000 of these will pass through
the arena at one time. All the col
ored troops will parade in a body.
A pack train of Ga mules will give
! a packing exhibition. A wonderful
sight is to be a regimental rifle drill
to the accompaniment of music.
Machine gun drills, just like in war
artillery, signal corps, ambulance
and first aid drills. engineering
demonstrations and fireworks are al
so to take place. All claims will be
outdone

the place where we were invited.
Corporal Weaver and myself were
at a mans place by the name of
BarnWell.
After eating a fine dinner, we all
went over and spent the afternoon
at the Club, bowling, etc. In the
evening we all congregated at one
place where we had refreshments,
those who wanted to dance, ana
those who didn't played cards, etc.
About II o'clock they brought US
back to camp in cars. At first we
were all afraid we would be stale on
our table manners, etc when we got
among the rich bugs, but we found
out they were as common as any
body The man at whose house we
ate dinner was regular fellow. !"
and one thing that seems funny
about these people out here, no mat
ter how refined and educated they
are, you can always detect little
Of the old bowery accent in their
speech, such as "Wese" for I'VE, =
and .youse" for you
All the soldiers in Camp were ia
ken out to dinner and there were
still people out here looking for
someone to take out. One fellow
came rushing out to camp about Il
A. M. and said if he didn't got i
soldiers out to his place to dinner
ne didn't know what he would do.
In New York City all amusements
and street cars were free for soldiers,
and they said in the forenoon when
ever a soldier showed up on the
streets two or three men would make
rush for him and go to fighting
over him to see which one would
take him to dinner.
Yesterday we received a lot of
turkeys and fruit ETC., from Nampa
and Boise for the Battery, so / guess
we will have big Thanksgiving din
ner tomorrow, which is Sunday.

WANT WRIT OF HABEAs
CORPUS TO FREE ALLEN.

Boise, Dec. 80. v. Allen, de-
faulting state treasurer, for the past
three years incareerated in the peni-
Tertiary, seeks his liberty on a writ
of habeas corpus. He claims, through
his attorneys, Richards & Haga and
George G. Heubner. that Judge Ed L.
Bryan of the Third judicial district
court was without Jurisdiction when
he sentenced him.
The application for a writ OF ha-
beas corpus was filed Saturday with
the supreme court 1t is announced
that tribunal has not as yet taken
action with regard to it.
Allen was sentenced October %,
1914. 1t is held by his counsel that
the terms of the section 1886 OF the
revised codes were not complied with
in that proper action was not taken
in the transfer of Judge Bryan from
the Jurisdiction of his court to that
Of the Third judicial district where
sentence was passed
Many citations are contained in the
application to support the argument.
1t is openly stated that there were no
irregularities charged against the
court and that it was not the consent
Of the defendant, Allen, that gave
Judge Bryan Jurisdiction to preside,
but such Jurisdiction must be given
him by law.
Regarding the action of Governor
Haines in calling in Judge Bryan, to
sentence Allen, the petitioners say:
Nor did the circumstances surround
ing the case, or the prisoner himself,
require the governor, or clothe him
with authority, to call in Judge Bry-
an, except he had the mandatory GER
tif1cate in his hands before he did so.
The record shows that Judge Bryan
did not preside at the request of a
Judge of the Third judicial district,
but at the request of the governor. -
Dispositions are now being taken of
witnesses in support Of the allega-
lions as set forth in the petition and
will be presented to the court, it is
understood.
