Don't Forget This Is Your Political Funeral Mr. Voter.
OPINION OF PROMIN EMIT DEMO
CRATIC EDITOR.

Here is the opinion of the Ken
drick Gazette, a staunch democratic
paper
THE main issue in the present
political campaign is the defeat OF
the non-partisan league in the state
and county. Democrats as we'll as
republicans are throwing their in
fiuence against this organization for
the purpose of defeating it at the
polls November 5. The Indifference
shown towards the issue involved
by the average voter, is not justin
able when the seriousness of the sit
uation is taken into consideration.
Every voter should familiarize him
self with the names of the league
candidates SO that when he goes to
the polls to vote he will know with
out question which names TO
scratch. In this county the only
non partisan league candidates are
on the democratic legislative ticket
and consist of the state senator and
three representatives. The state
ticket is somewhat more complicat-
ed but the league candidates can
easily be segregated.

BURTON L. FRENCH HAS STOOD
BY THE PEOPLE.

Burton L. French is a true blue
Idaho boy, who would sacrifice his
life for his country. He has al
ways keen true to the citizens of
Idaho. and thru this war has stood
behind the administration all the
time. Burton French was backing
President Wilson when Townley
and Arthur LaSeuer and Bill Hay
wood and all that gang were open
ly pro-German and fighting to pre-
vent our entry into war. Burton
French has stood by the farmers of
Idaho always; when the l. w. W.,
allie of Townley, were blowing up
the farmers machines, burning the
farmers crops. and destroying the
farmers security and peace of mind,
French was at his post of duty be-
hind President Wilson. Townley,
an l. w. w. and co-worker with
Bill Haywood, wants French de-
feated and Purcell, Townley can
didate for congress, sent to Wash
ington in his place. Purcell has
pledged himself to vote as Townley
and LeSeuer dictate, and these men
are not taxpayers or citizens of our
state. My God! have the famers OF
Idaho gone crazy!
What have they ever asked that
French has not worked for? What
do they now want that French will
not help them get-if it is honest
and fair? What has happened that
our farmers have decided that it Is
to their advantage to join hands
with Townley, Bill Haywood, and
the I.W.W? When did our farmers
become converted to the rankest
sort of Socialism? When did they
get converted to- Bolsheviki govern
ment that has cast Russia into ut
ter darkness? For Townley stands
for exactly that sort of government
but calling it by another name.

TURNING ON THE SPOTLIGHT.

wallace PresS-TimeS, Democratic.
The dragnet is out in Idaho and
the United States Department OF
Justice has begun to sweep the
state of the disloyal element. The
arrest at Lewiston and Grangeville
of representatives OF the nonparti-
san league on charges of sedition is
heralded as the opening gun to rid
the state of an insiduous element.
The charges disclose in no uncer-
tain terms the class of individuals
who may have fiocked to the colors
of this organization. Thousands of
loyal citizens have been tricked in
to association with these people and
fed with propaganda that smirks of
Hun intrigue. Clever manipulation
by the class Of men just placed I'M

mask from the. disloyal, seditious
and traitorous persons with Bolshe-

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE
LEAGUE. H

During the past month there has
been mailed out from Spokane some
unsigned literature dealing with the
non-partisan league, and the League
accuses the timber companies Of be-
ing back of this campaign. The Re-
publican has received some OF this
matter. but has, SO far as W. know,
Djnted none of 1t because 1t anne

source. However. this much can he

generally based on court records as
brought out in the trial of Bill
Haywood, the 1. w. W. leader. The
LeSeuer letters. showing how the
Non Partisan League and the l. w.
w. are connected, is court record,
and 1t stands out unrefutable and
undeniable, regardless of who sent
1t out from Spokane. So far. as we
are informed, the matter mailed
from Spokane has never been any
thing but the truth. and Its truth

is what the people ought to demand.
This issue of the Clearwater Re-,
publican deals to large extent

particular attention to the nature
of the matter printed Much of 1t
is signed matter, and none of 1t Is
from any source that is even re-
motely connected with any timber
interest or other corporation. We
are prompted to go to the expense

farmers are honest. want the facts

And when the /. w. w. come
down here next harvest and ask IS
for a six hour day, of course US
farmers will grant the demand, be-
cause we are now brothers with
the gang who year ago were out
trying to ruin the farmers. And
the farmers will jump stiff legged
and declare they are not lining up
with anything of the kind. We tell
them frankly that every farmer who
votes for Samuels and Judd for the
state senate, and for Harrison for
the house, are voting for Socialism
pure and simple, and If Townley's
candidates win, they are pledged to
vote as Townley dictates. If the
farmers are ready for state Social
ism, then they are on the, right
track.
