the saddest hour of our nations life

traitor for a second.
81 have lived in Idaho for nearly forty
years and know the history of Haywood
and his bloody gang. | knew the late
Governor Steunenberg, whom Hay
woods organization murdered, and know
that there was a miscarriage of justice
when this demon was not hanged for
the crime. when he was tried here a few
years ago
Now comes the pitiable spectacle here
! in Idaho, where the blood of Governor
Steunenberg was spilled, of an organza-
ton created and differed by the friends
and apologists of his murderers, stealing
the machinery of the party of our great
president, setting up candidates, not
democrats, and asking the support of
decent people These are the facts and
damned be the man or men who will
dispute them.
Il am now growing old, and as the
years creep on | become the more soli-
citous for our country's good, and cast
my vote accordingly, hence my reason
for declining your astounding PROPOSE
ton. Why is it that you say nothing
about the organization of a Moore for
Senator Club?' Hon. Frank Moore, of
Moscow is the regular democratic can
dldate for senator against W. E. Borah,
who has the Enforcement of the Idaho
Bolsheviki who manipulated the nomina-
ton of the man Purcell, of whom you
speak All the followers of Townley,
LeSeuer & Co., including Purcell and
his fellow Bolsheviki candidates are

patriotic democratic Moore. A fine COM
bination to contemplate is this.

central committee, informs me that he
got letter of the same import as that

that his answer thereto will not encour-
age you much in the organization OIL
Purcell for Congress Clubs and | can
assure you that he speaks the sentiments
of thousands of loyal democrats who
intend to work and vote for Gooding,
and. Moore, democrat, for
senators, and French for representative.
Il have two boys over in France, of
whom | am intensely proud. They both
volunteered within a month after the
declaration of war, and will not assist
any candidate put forth by an organiza
ton who would see them murdered forI
doing their patriotic duty.
Il take. it that you are not fully in
formed as to conditions in Idaho, else
you would not be making such an ap-
peal to democrats, and I hope that you
will seek and receive information that
will put you right to the end that the
efforts of your committee to elect Pur
cell or any other Townleyite to con-
gress may cease.

If the poisons which are swept from
the tissues by the blood are not elm
mated through the kidneys, disease of

Kidney disease is usually indicated
by WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, dependency, backache, stomach
trouble, difficulty when urinating,
pain in loins and lower abdomen, gall
stones, gravel, rheumatism, sciatica
and lumbago.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Aside
from press dispatches Washington had
no information today on the decision of
the all-Rlissian congress of Soviets at
Moscow ratifying the German peace
terms. Nothing had come either from
Ambassador Francis at Vologda or the
American consul general at Moscow. Of
fciGls had no means of knowing whether
the action was taken before or after
receipt of President Wilson s message
to the people of Russia promising
American aid in obtaining for Russia
full independence from German aggres-
sion.
The Presidents S message when sent
was regarded by officials here as the
only move that could be made by the
United States in the interest of the
Russian people.
II is believed that ratification of the
peace terms VIII bring an early move by
Japan into Siberia. Any move by the
Japanese, il is believed, will be chiefly
protection for japanese and American
supplies at Eladivostok. There is nc
real danger, officials say, of German
armies moving that far east, but sup
plies at yaldivostok may be sent into
Russia and then find their way into
| German hands.
The geographical location of Vladi
vostok makes it easy for Japan ut any
/ time TO cut off German force if one
were to move TO the east. The single
line OF railroad entering Nladivostol
from Russia takes a circuitous route anC

! communication at any point for mile.

EX-U. S. SENATOR
STEPHENSON DEAD
Was the Oldest and Wealthiest Member
of the Upper Branch of Congress
at One Period

MARINETTE. Wisconsin, March Is.
Former United States Senator Isaac
Stephenson died today.
Aside from the fact that Isaac
Stephenson, during his service as Unit
ed States senator, enjoyed the distinc-
tion of being the oldest, as well as the
wealthiest senator in the upper house
of congress, he ranked as one of the
greatest producing fumbermen in the
nation. The principal scene Of his
operations in the lumber industry was
in Northern Michigan. that section ow-
ing large part of its development in
the numbering and mining industries
to his efforts. His properties in that
section are still among the largest hold
ings IN the state, and his various indus
| tries there employ thousands of men.
| Born near Fredericton, New Bruins
wick, June IS. 1929, he spent his early
| youth on his father s farm and in
working in the lumber woods. He had
practically no schooling. At is he left
| home and went to Milwaukee. He
found employment with the Wells Lum-
ber company and was associated with
Daniel Wells, jr., for many years. In
| 1857 he became an operator of lumber
| camps in his own interests.
His early political career included
two terms in the Wisconsin legislature
and three terms in congress.
In May, 1907. he was appointed to
FL the unexpired term of Senator John
c. Spooner resigned, and was elected
to succeed himself in 1909 1t was in
connection with this election that the
Wisconsin legislature, after a lengthy
Iinvcstigation Of the senator s campaign
fled charges with the United States
senate and asked an investigation in
to the election, alleging that money
had been used to unduly influence
votes. The Investigating COMMITTEES
went into the matter exhaustively. ant
while they showed that Mr.. Stephenson
spent over S113 goo to be elected, NJ
undue influence or graft was shown
ard he was retained in his seat by
vote of the senate, 40 TO 81.
To him. and TO the men whom h
gathered about him in his various busi
ness ventures. his home city, Marinette
Wis, owes much of its prosperity an,
progress. He was always open -hande,
with his home town, and scattere'
about the city, various buildings. Ii
