ment 10 the voters OF Power county
with reference 10 my candidacy. By
virtue of an act OF the last legisla-
ture an additional judge was provided
for the Fifth Judicial District. I was
appointed as the additional Judge pro-
yided by this act. and therefore az the
next general election you will elect
TWO district judges instead Of one as
heretofore. from the four candidates
on the ballot for district judge.
In these trying times when the world

Of civilization is hanging in the bal

LETTERS FROM POWER
COUNTY SOLDIERS.

Auditor Bullfnch has received the
following letter from the boys who
left for Moscow last week:
Section B, S. A. T. c.
Moscow, Idaho,
Mr.. Paul Bulfnch.
Dear Strive are at the barracks
tonight all we'll and happy as a be.
We had a fine trip coming up and
have enjoyed ourselves every minute.
Our bunk house is an old livery
barn remodeled. The mess house is
a machine shop. They are both very
comfortable and we'll arranged. The
eats are very plain but we have all
we want. Out of the three days We
have been here there have lots of the
fellows taken sick. Only five cases
of influenza as yet. The men are i'm
mediately moved from the barracks
to the hospital. Every day we have TO
take everything out of the barracks,
clean everything up spick and span,
tn prevent all sickness possible.
The company of three hundred fell
lows here seem to be a fine crowd of
boys. We have some very fine officers
even if they are strict as the deuce,
and bawl a fellow out every chance
they get.
We are q~uarantined to the barracks
for twenty-one days at the least, so
there is no running around for us
for some time.
The army life is no picnic but is
good enough for US. We are proud
that we are able to pass the examin-
ations and give our services to Uncle
Sam. Very truly yours.
Thomas Davie.

DISTRICT ORGANIZER ARRESTED
ON ESPIONAGE CHARGE.

Moscow. Idaho. Oct. 21.-Carl H.
Davis. district manager and organic
er of the Nonpartisan league in
charge of the ten northern counties.
with headquarters recently opened at
Lewiston, is under arrest on a charge
of violating the espionage law in La
tab county, The warrent for his ar
rest was issued by H R. Smith. Unit
ed States commissioner, at Moscow,
upon a complaint sworn to by L. F.
Parsons, chairman of the Latah Coun-
ty Council of Defense. The arrest was
made by a deputy United States Mar
sha.
The complaint charges that Davis
made these statements: Capitalists
and big business concerns of America
met in Berlin and framed this war.
You don't have to buy Liberty Bonds.
These bonds are nothing but graft.
Let those who framed the war buy
them. The government is standing in
with the banks and you only get four
per cent for your money. The banks
charge s to 10 per cent for the same
money. The Red Cross is all right,
but you don't know if the money goes
10 the right place"
R. W. Bignell. another NOn-partisan
organizer. is also under arrest upon a
warrant issued by Commissioner
Smith on complaint of Chairman Par
sons. of the County Council of De-
Tense. who charges that Bignell said
in Latah county: There are fourteen
men connected with the state food adj
ministration of Washington and elev-
en- of them have been boarding food
On the Liberty Bond drive he is al
legged in the complaint to have said
The Liberty Bond matter is nothing
but a profiteering Of big business con-
Germs and of the banks and they are
the ones that make the final rake-of.'
Most of the Councils of Defense in
the state of Washington are backed by
big business concerns and the banks
Mr.. Parsons said: For some time
the Council of Defense and the depart
ment Of justice have been at work on
these cases. We secured satisfactory
evidence that these men who had made
these statements and that they were in
Juring the work of putting the bond
drive over. After due consultation
with the legal department of the
Council of Defense it was decided to
make the arrests. Davis was held TO
the United States District Court un-
der bonds of $500. which he did not
furnish and is in Jail.
