PRAISE FOR PARKER.
Stites Editor Expresses Appreciation
of Democratic Candidate.

ctites EOltOr Expresses Appreciation
of Democratic Candidate.
A +. Parker, veteran journalist
and pioneer of Idaho, announces his
candidacy for the nomination of Clerk
and Auditor on the Democratic pri-
mary ticket at the election to be held
September 3rd, 1918. We have known
Mr.. Parker personally for almost 80
years and can truthfully say that no
man either in public or private life
has yielded larger measure of SER
vice to the state. He has always stood
ready with gifted pen to push our
latent resources to the forefront and
during his long journalistic career he
always battled fearlessly for what he
considered to be right Though differ
ing from him politically, we always
admired his straightforwa- pppo-
sition on all great questions at issue.
We can candidly say, in the light of
his 81 years of pioneering, that he is
now asking little from the source to
which he has contributed so lavishly
in the past

STRAW STACK BURNED.

A straw stack caught fire yesterday
morning at the Cy Graham place west
from this city and was entirely des-
troyed. The machine was running
along in fine shape and the straw was
being placed by the straw stalker. With
out any warning fire was discovered on
the top of the pile and lively scramble
ensued among the crew in ol'der to
get the machine and the threshed grain
to place of safety, which was done in
short order. There was absolutely no
loss with the exception of the straw.
Members of the crew are at a loss
to learn how the fire originated, there
being no visible cause.

Boise. Idaho Aug. 2S.-The war be-
tween the Democrats of Idaho and the
Nonpartisan League has reached a
stage of extreme bitterness earlier
than was expected. The league lead
ers are extremely vituperative in their
abuse of opposing Democrats and the
latter do not mince words in express
ing their opinions of the leaguers and
their methods.
Ex-Governor Hawley has entered
the arena against the Nonpartisan
league leaders with his accustomed Wig
or and he declares he proposes to make
ii plain that he will not lay down for
IA minute.
The feeling of the Democrats toward
the NonpartiSan league is emphatically
denoted in statements given out for
qualifications 1t is not difficult for those
who are observers of political develop
ments 10 see, for instance, cause OF
undying hatred and ceaseless battle in
such a paragraph as the following sent
over this state with Democratic en-
dorsement:

hope to do on paper"
Charge Deception.
The Democratic literature also take'
the league to task for its attempted
deception Of the farmers and laborer'
of Idaho" The fact that the league
had ignored the state casualty fund
although being pledged In its platform
to it find had insured its employees II

program arranged for the encampment

POLITICAL WAR GROWING
AS PRIMARIES APPROACH

the Maryland Casualty company has
been widely circulated by the Demo
cratic managers.
The manner in which the league is
grabbing fees from the farmers with
out giving them a shade of hope for
any relief from any of the ills they
may suffer" is also italicized in this
literature The Democratic managers
declare they are more hopeful than
ever of defeating the Nonpartisan
league candidates and that they will
keep up a brisk campaign against them
until the polls close on primary cleo
tion day.
Charge Cut and Dried.
As part Of the Democratic campaign
against the Nonpartisan league, evil
dence is furnished for publication to
sustain the charge that the league
convention in Boise was a cut and
dried affair The hotel registers, the
Democrats say, show that practically
all the men nominated for office by the
league had been in Boise making their
advance arrangements. 1t is also de-
clared by the Democratsc that pictures
were sent out weeks before from which
cuts were made and that it was not
necessary to send any alternative pic
lures as it was known definitely who
would be nominated and therefore
what cuts would be needed for the
leagues official publication.
Compliment to BOrah.

paid to Senator Borah recently by Sen
ator John Sharp Williams of Missis
