SHOULD IDAHO BE GOVERNED
FROM NORTH DAKOTAf

II the state ticket, headed by Sam
uels for governor and nominated by
the Non-partisan league. not by Dem
ocrats, shall be elected Idaho's state
affairs will be run from North Dakota
by Townley and Arthur lie Seuer.
Townley is the absolute boss OF the
Non-partisan league. and lie Seuer.
the l. w. W. leader and Socialist and
d~isloyalist. is his principal adviser
and executive secretary of the league.
In North Dakota every official act is
directed by Townley and lie Seuer.
The state officials there are mere
dummies.
Such a state of affairs would mean
ldaho's public affairs run from the
outside by rabid Socialists, by men
who would set up a B~olsheviki gov
eminent in Idaho.
We have every confidence that the
loyal citizens of Idaho. irrespective
OF party, will administer a sharp re-
buke to this plan Of the Non-partisan
league and elect the Republican tick
from top to bottom.

SAhUELS INTERPRETED WITH
THE LOAN DRIVE.

II. F. Samuels. Non-partisan league
candidate for governor. in all his
speeches has advocated paying for
the war by direct taxation instead of
partially through bond issues. Pat
rlotlc organizations have protested
against his course as interfering with
the liberty loan drive, and because of
his insistent accusations bearing on
his loyalty and on the loyalty of other
leaders of the Non-partisan league
are emphasized. Opposition to the
plan as a business proposition is bas-
ed on the fact that il the war had to
be paid by direct taxation everybody
IN this country would be busted and
Industry paralyzed. The government.
II is pointed, must do the same as ev-
cry merchant and farmer-secure
credit to keep things moving.

FARMERS MEETING.
Continued from First Page.

are now receiving the benefits of
special advantages just the same
as is given to the families living
in city or town.
The first address of the evening
was by Mr.. Fair of Toledo, one of
the "Four-minute Men" of the
city who are giving every hour of
their spare time to the work of
boosting the work of the admins
tration in its prosecution of the
war Mr. Fair spoke for nearly
an hour and gave splendid state
ment of the conditions that now
confront our country; gave the
facts that show the danger that
besets our government and point
ed out the only way that the
United States may safely sur
mount the difficulties that now as
sail it; and endeavored to impress
upon the farmers their duty in
this great crisis.
Mr. Aldrich took for his subject,
"The Farmer as a Civic Force" "
This proved a very fertile subject
for the speaker, who thoroughly
impressed upon his hearers the
many ways in which the farmer
and his family may help in the up
building of the community and
prove a mighty power for good.
He impressed upon all the duty to
the church and state and branded
as Stacker any person who failed
to take his place and give assist
ance and moral support to every
measure that has for it's object the
enforcement of law, the building
up of the community; the support
Of church and schools: and above
all, at this time, the cuptailment Of
personal pleasure and profit, with
the sole purpose of giving every
dollar of money and every ounce
of strength to the support of the
government until the successful
termination of the present war.
He scored, most numerically, the
man who claimed he was doing his
duty when he used every dollar Of
his money for raising hogs and cat
tie to furnish meat and fat for the
allies. Such men, he said, were
only serving self and were in no
measure entitled to be considered
loyal citizens. One of his many
forceful statements was, "Get be-
hind the government with every
ounce of strength and financial
help, or finally pay tribute. to the
Kaiser" After the conclusion Of
the meeting many of the audience
came forward to shake hands with
the speaker and thank him for his
splendid speech which all seemed
to feel was power for good in
this community.
1t was splendid audience of
neighbors and friends and in
every way the meetings were cal
culated to arouse enthusiasm and
good will among the splendid
farming people of this community.
The only feature that marred
the meetings was the ungentle
manly conduct of a few young
men ca who evidently forgot
they were among intelligent, re-
spectacle people. This, however,
only occurred near the close of the
evening session and was promptly
and severely rebuked by the
speaker.
