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 been 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 /. w. w. and a co-worker with
Bill Haywood, wants French de-
teated and Purcell, TownIey can
didate for congress, sent to Wash
ington inLnhis place. Purcell has
pledged himself to vote as Townley
and LeSeuer dictate. and these men
are not taxpayers or citizens of our
state. My Godt have the famers or
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 IW.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.

OPINION OF PROM EN- DEMO
CRATIC EDITOR.


Here is the opinion of the Ken
drick Gazette, 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 well as
republicans are throwing their in
fiuence against this organization for
the purpose of defeating it at the
polls November s. The indifference
shown towards the issue involved
by the average voter. is not justifi-
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.

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 flocked 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 un-
der arrest has induced loyal citi-
zens to join this organization. In
one breath they have lauded the
war program while in another they
have adroitly sown the seeds of Sc
dition.
Despite long delays the federal
government is starting TO tear the
mask from the disloyal. seditious
and traitorous persons with Bolshe-
wiki tendencies and pro-hun sym
movements as the Liberty loan and
other patriotic campaigns to con-
ceal their real intents ana purposes.
The I. w. w. has been exposed and
its leaders have been placed in Jail
for long terms.
Other orders are due to get prop
er attention and, in fact, are get

THE LEAGUE is A "BOSSED"
PARTY.

Idaho is now constitutionally dry,
but the Socialist party has never
been strong for any law that stop

today breeding girls after they are
10 years of age, and in this cOun-
try Emma Goldman and other So
cialists taught Free Love and other
kindred things. Do the people real
ize where they are headed? And
do they understand that they are
following the leadership of non-res-
ident Socialists who pay no taxes,
not even in North Dakota, but who
are here bossing the job, and tell
ing the followers what to do. One
farmer said
'Our instructions are" Instruc-
lions from who? From Townley, a
big boss, and by the Townley kept
press And the honest man who
is in the League knows that he has
been told how to vote, and that he
is under a political boss, When did
democratic or republican leaders
dare to set themselves up as the
big 1T and herd the farmers like,

these bosses. Townley and his as
sociates have harvested now $5.-

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE
LEAGUE.

During the past month there ha
been mailed out from Spokane somt
unsigned literature dealing with tn
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
p,jnted none of it because 1t amt
unsigned, and from an Unknown
source. However, this much can be
said about this literature VA
generally based on court records as
brought out in the trial of Bill
Haywood. the l. w. w. leader. The
I.eSeuer letters, showing how the
Non Partisan League and the l. w.
w. are connected, is a court record,
and it 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 It's truth
fulness has not been questioned, ex-
cept the resolution adopted by the
non-partisans in their North Dakota
state convention. declaring for state
ownership OF land and farm equip
ment. The League admits that this
resolution is part of their plat
form, but since 1t is not popular in
Idaho with our farmers, have repu-
dated 1t. But that 1t is non-par-
tisan plank is a fact, and the truth
is what the people ought to demand
This issue of the Clearwater Re-
publican deals to large extent
with the known facts about the

particular attention to the nature
of the matter printed. Much of 1t

motely connected with any timber
interest or other corporation. We

The farmers of Clearwater coun-

do? why are you going to vote for
Nugent? You know that the only
thing you can say is that Townley

cause we are now brothers with

the farmers will jump stiff legged

AN INTERESTED PARTY.

The writer has farmed in this

vested in land and our interests are
Unidentified with the farmers. We
are interested in Justice for the ag-
ricultural interests of our county
and our state. We have horses and
cows and pigs, and are interested
in everything that makes for better
prices and better conditions for the
producer. We raised beans this sea-
son, and will grow another crop in
market in 1919. We will grow a
lot of corn and feed it to hogs; we
want square deal along with our
fellow farmers. But we don't want
to live under Socialism? We don't
want to farm in partnership with
Bill Haywood. Arthur LeSeuer and
the /. w. w. We know these fell
lows are not out for any love of the
farmer, but for the SIC, and the
power that comes thru an organiza-
ton like the League, of which Mr..
Townley is the Big Boss, and out of
which an army of slick Socialist
agitators are waxing fat at the ex-
pense of the farmer.
We know that the l. w. w. is an
anarchistic, .disloyal, criminal gang;
and damaged the farmers all they
could, and that Townley is one of
them; that he has tried to induce
the farmers to unite with the NV.
W., and has been and is a co-work-
