PRESIDENT WILSON WILL NOT STAND FOR
ACTIONS OF FALSE OFFICIALS IN
IDAHO WHEN HE KNOWS
THE TRUTH

Every federal official holding position of any
consequence in Boise, is aligned with the Non par
tsan league There is reason for this. Under the
rule at Washington, their appointment and reten-
ton is solely up to the only present Democratic
member of congress from Idaho Senator Nugent.
| Horace Manu. self-confessed Socialist l. W. W.
and Boshevik arrested and held for trial for sedi-
ton, permitted to go at large by United States
Marshal Roy JONES' altho the United States COM
mission advised him that his bond had not been
approved and that Mann was to be taken into Gus
tody. United States Attorney McClear has told
people in Boise there was frame-up against Mann
and it is all id foolishnss, thereby showing his
(McClears) sympathy. Mann's confession itself,
and the afhdavits of many reputable citizens Of
Idaho show that Mann was arrested solely because
lot his reasonable utterances and actions.
Why was he allowed to roam at large? Why
is the United States district attorney of Idaho so
interested in this traitor?
John Smead deputy United States district attor-
ney for Idaho was insulting in his manner toward
government witnesses in the Mann case including
MIR. Cramblett, whose son Frank, gave his life for
his country in France Smead talked about poll
tics. Great God! What manner of man it is who
will mix politics in such case as that
There will be day of reckoning when take
my seat in the United States senate, if not before
will demand investigation of these federal Of
cias in ldaho altho the indications are that Pres-
dent Wilson will institute an investigation before
can be seated and punish these false officials not
withstanding any senatorial influence that NAV be
exerted in their behalf

cannot pass such legislation as is
great agricultural interests of the
state.
Everyone of our adjoining states,
Mr.. Farmer, has repudiated the lead
ers of the Non-partisan league. The
national grange has repudiated
them; the oranges of Washington
and Oregon, and the farmers or
CARNATIONS of Utah have repudiated
the leaders of the Non-partisan
league. In those states the great
newspapers have come to the rescue
of the farmers and a campaign of
education and exposure has been on
for some time. If we had had such
a campaign in Idaho hundreds of
thousands of dollars would have been
saved to the farmers of this state,
and the enemies of good government
would not have got a foothold here.
The campaign | am waging today is
campaign of education. l have
fought these enemies of our govern
ment before, and know that unless
they are exposed they will destroy
the state and destroy it's citizenship.

FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE

Everyone will agree that the farm.
ers should organize, that it is essen
tial for them to have organizations,
but few will agree that we need such
leaders for the farmers as Townley
LeSeuer, McKaig and Scholtz, who
have forced themselves to the head
of the farmers organization in this
state.
Mr.. Farmer, l have looked up the
platforms of both political parties in
Idaho and the laws passed by our leg
lslature for number of years.
find there has never been a single
pledge made to the farmers by either
the Republican or Democratic party
that has not been kept. You have
never asked for anything of either
one of the two parties in Idaho that
1t has not given you. More than half
OF the senators and representatives
that have served this state for a num-
Der of years have been farmers or
men who own land and cultivate the
soil. There never will be a time in
Idaho in my judgment when the
agricultural interests in this state

by Townley, Kate Y Hare, LeSueul
and Bill Haywood. They do not be.
lieve in direct action as these men
do. They have beautiful dream
and believe the world can be made
better by their kind of socialism.
Call back to your memory the
things that l have said about the
leaders of the Non-partisan league.
They have not denied one word.
They have tried to deny that Arthur
LIE Sueur is their secretary. He is
not only their secretary, but he is
their executive secretary. They boast
that he is their legal adviser. They
tell you he is great lawyer.
Hear me to the end, ! beseech you,
and you will know that am telling
you the truth, that l am fighting for
the best interests Of Idaho and the
boys in the trenches and upon the
high seas, and their mothers, their
fathers, their wives and their sweet
hearts.

NO TIME FOR CLASS FEELING

We have an embargo on wheat at
the present time. 1t is not strange.
1t is impossible for the railroads to
handle the great crops of this country
in few weeks. The railroad men
are straining every effort within
them to handle the agricultural crops
and the war essentials that must be
given the first consideration. Mr..
Farmer, there never was a time when
this country needed calm, clear
thinkers, without prejudice, as it
does today. This is no time to array
one class against another. 1t is 60
ing to take the best brains in the land
to guide this country thru the critical
times that will come after the war.
We know that we are going to win
a great victory on the battlefelds of
Europe, and that we are going to
bring back peace to the world, but

If you will but hear me, I know
you will cast out man who would
destroy our state. You need not be
ashamed If you have given Townley
SIS. His agents have fooled many
an honest man. The pity is that
they have already destroyed some
good men and women by injecting
into their minds anarchy, treason,
and rebellion.
! am not appealing to those who
believe Roosevelt is disloyal and his
speeches all camouflage. | am talk
ing to the honest farmer of Idaho.
I believe that ninety-five per cent of
the farmers of Idaho are as true and
loyal citizens as can be found any
where in the world.

DANGEROUS TO AMERICANISM

Roosevelt brands Townley and LIE
Sueur and their agents as being az
dangerous to America as Lenine and
Trotzky to Russia. I cannot find
language to express my contempt for
the man who would say that ex-
President Roosevelt is disloyal. That
one utterance of McKaig and Scholtz
should be enough for every good
loyal Aernrican citizen, regardless of
what party he belongs to, to brand
these men as dangerous enemies to a
free government
] am going to keep up my fight,
Mr.. Farmer, until the end, and when
] am thru the Hundred Per Cent

with Townley and Arthur LeSueur.
In his coarse, brutal, blunt way, he
continued ever after the espionage
law was passed, but Townley and Le-
Sueur cunningly changed their tao
tics. In stead of assaulting the pre-
sident, they are telling the people
what a great man he is. Do you
believe them. They have no more
respect for President Wilson today
than they had before that law was
passed. They are the same Townley.
the same Arthur LeSueur.

To the people of Idaho:

To the people of Idaho:
If am elected to represent Idaho in the
United States senate, President Wilson will
have no better supporter in his war measures
than myself.
The man who would not support President
Wilson in his war measures would not support
the boys in the trenches or the boys who are
serving their country on the high seas. Such
man, to my mind, would be a traitor

Idaho. The present rates are unjustly high

A PLAIN TALK TO THE
FARMERS OF IDAHO

Mr. Farmer this article is written for you. Will
you be kind enough to read these lines? In all
that have said against the leaders of the Nom
partisan league in Idaho there never has been
time when have had thought that the farmers
of Idaho were disloyal because know that is not
true. am making your fight, as no man ever
fought in Idaho before, in exposing the greatest
criminal organization America has ever known
1t is not strange that you did not understand
Townley and Townleyism, and the Socialism that
they stand for because no newspaper with one or
two exceptions in this state has ever attempted to
tell you the truth about the leaders of the Nonpar-
tisan league 1t is not strange that you should join
organization that you believed was for the bet
terment of the farmers because it is true that there
are some things that are wrong in Idaho that must
be and will be made right. In most cases profess
sionally trained men have been sent to your COM
munities-nen who are professional salesmen-
and that they have deceived large number of the
best farmers of the state all will agree Even Roose
welt tells us that for time he thought the move
ment good one.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1918-11-01
HAVE TOLD THE TRUTH

All that l have said about the
leaders of the Non-partisan league
are truths-proven truths all the way
thru, and they cannot be denied.
Mr.. Farmer, l am fighting your fight
now. l have always made your fight.
/ have always fought against excess
sive railroad rates in this state. |
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1918-11-01

have told you many times that you
paid the highest freight rates of any
farmers in the world. This is true,
and expect to continue my fight un-
til you have better railroad rates.
You are entitled to just as good rail-
road rates per mile as other farmers
in the United States enjoy.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1918-11-01
TRYING TO DECEIVE THE PRESIDENT

Fred !! Dubois has been trying to deceive Pre-
sident Wilson as to the character of the Non-par-
tisan league leaders. There is no question that he
will fail, because the national Democratic admin
istration is fighting these same leaders in North
Dakota with all the vigor at their command, and
exposing them for their disloyalty and for having
interfered with the war.

that an attempt would be made to

LEVI LEFT WHEN
PREACHER DREW
TRUSTY OLD AXE

Levi Stephens, young negro liy-
ing west of Chickasha claimed that
he was just shooting at some trees
with pistol, when Sheriff Hodge
Bailey put him uHder arrest at the
home of his brotheg yesterday eve
ming But the officer had different
dope on him, and as aresult afore-
said Levi is peering out from behind
the bars Of the county jail today.
Though there had been no com
plant filed against him at noon,
John Hawkins, negro preacher
living near Norge was d1e, in fact
overdue, to appear before the county
authorities and lodge charges against
the prisoner. The general drift cf
the happenings that led up to the
arrest of Levi, is that Levi had been
paying too much attention to daugh-
tersa,of this Hawkins party-to suit
Hawkins. 1t appears that the min,
lister waxed exceeding wroth and
pursued Levi with an axe. Pursued
seems to be about the word, for
Levi went away from there. Later
Hawkins got in touch with the sher
ifs office, stated that Levi was
prowling the neighborhood with a
siege gun strapped to him.
The sheriffs force believe that
by the arrest shooting scrape was
nipped in the bud.
