WHAT I STAND FOR.
TO THE PEOPLE OF IDAHO:

If am elected to represent Idaho in the United
States senate President Wilson will have better
supporter in his than myself
The man who would not support President
Wilson in his measures would not support the
boys in the trenches the boys who serving their
country on the high Such man, to my mind,
would be traitor
I will fight for lower freight rates for Idaho The
present rates unjusty high have been fighting
them for long time and will continue the
the floor of the senate
I stand for safe and government in nation
and state-no Socialism, I. w. W., Non
Partisan League leadership.
I stand for the industries of Idaho and for the
highest possible development of our state.
AS United States senator, will be in position
to potentially make my fight for the extension
ofirrgaton projects and the opening up of new tracts
ing more people and more capital to our State and
providing homes for returning soldiers

NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE LEADERS REPUDIATE
ROOSEVELT BUT STICK TO DISLOYALISTS.

I ask the people of Idaho remember the direct
charges of dsloyay made by the United States govern
ment and by Theodore Roosevelt and Others against
ToWn1ey and LeSeuer and other Non partisan leaders,
ask them to remember the revelations have made from
official documents and from signed letters showing Arthur
LeSeuer the Executive Secretary of the Non-parsan
League who directs the campaign in Idaho through
McKaig and Scholtz, is I. W. W., Socialist and
traitor to his country.
The only to this by the Non partisan League
leaders in Idaho that LeSeuer great lawyer but they
nothing about his Americansm his patriotism for
they cannot There is such thing in his makeup and
yet he wants to control Idaho for Towney
None of these men-Towney LeSeuer Bill
Haywood have been repudated by the Non-partisan
League leaders that Towney and LeSeuer have sent into
Idaho to capture this state and install Bolshevk form
of government but they quick repudiate Theodore
Roosevelt and to go far say this great Amer
citizen dsloya They stand for traitors and graters
of all kinds but they damn American citizens who have
the courage and the manhood to expose them.

his father.
Otto Scheel, who was employed as

PRESHo DOES WELL AT
RED CROSS AUCTION

Presho, S. D., April "a Red Cross
sale held here Saturday afternoon net
ted the local organization more than
$1,000. A supper serves after the sale
brought more than $500, and a dance
in the evening added $50 more to the
days receipts. Donations added to the
above bring the net total receipts from
the days activities up to above $4,000.
Presho is Il own of between 500
500 souls. The country aroun is
sparcely settled as compared with any
locality east of the Missouri river.
In view of the fact that very few
articles sold at exorbitant prices, it will
be seen that the people opened their
hearts. as they probably never have had
occasion to do before. in so far as do
nations are concerned. There were APP
proximately 65 mead Of cattle, horses,
hogs and sheep, many being registered
or eligible to registration. There was a
large mount of poultry n grain. The
GREATEST activity in bidding was Whcn
some seed corn II alfalfa seed was Of

high price.

VERMILION-Despitc the fact that
that nearly 200 former students at the
University of South Dakota are in the
service, the enrolment this year has
turned out to be not very far from the
normal. This Is partly due TO increased
interest in extension work and to a large
attendance at the summer session last
summer
