JUL|AETTA FARMER
APPEALS TO VOTERS
PIONEER RESIDENT OF THAT
SECTION ASKS FARMERS TO
BE NOT DECEIVED .

The following letter from William
Cox, owner of Spring Brook Farm
near Juliaetta has been given to the
press of Latah county:
"Spring Brook Farm, Juliaetta
Idaho.-To My Fellow Voters in Latah
County: I have been a resident of
Latah county for many years and dur
ing this time have been a farmer.
All | possess in this world is repre-
sented in my farming operations. 1t
seems to me that in the face of the
exposures of the leadership of the
nonpartizan league, the only safe and
patriotic course for us farmers to pur-
sue is to vote against every candi-
date endorsed by the nonpartizan
league.
ssIf the program Of Townley and
Townleyism should be fastened upon
this state, there is no question but
that our interests as farmers would
be very seriously affected.
eff there are just causes for COM
plant, by the farming interests of
idaho, these cannot be met through
the efforts of the nonpartizan league
under the leadership of such men as
Townley and LIE Seuer, who have no
with the state, and
whose propaganda is proven to be
entirely a matter of personal advant-
age.
II can see no course to pursue as a
,armer and loyal citizen of this state
except to assist in defeating the non
oartizan league candidates, who sue
.eeded in having their names placed |
lpon the democratic ticket.

MUST
SUPPORT WILSON
STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
ISSUES APPEAL FOR SUP
PORT OF PRESIDENT

The following stirring appeal to
Idaho citizens has just been issued by
the state council of defense which
| asks the press to publish it and the
people to read and remember it. The
appeal follows:
President Wilson's final answer to
Germany's bid for peace is ringing
around the world. 1t has the undi-
vlded Endorsement of the nation
Idaho stands prepared to back the
principles therein set forth to the
last man and the last dollar Ger
many must clean house, casting into
the trash heap it's autocrats and war
lords as guarantee to the world
there will not be another such reign
of frightfulness, or continue the fight
which will forcefully and righteously
eliminate those men who plunged the
world into war. She has her choice.
That they may be stimulated and
inspired to make every future sacri-
flee called for to bring Germany to
terms, every Idahoan should register
on his memory the final passages of
the presidents reply to Germany
which are as follows:
''It is evident that the German
people have no means of commanding
the acquiescence of the military au-
thorities of the empire in the popular
will; that the power Of the king of
Prussia to control the policy of the
empire is unimpaired; that the de-
termining initiative still remains
with those who have hitherto been
the masters of Germany
Feeling that the whole peace of
the world depends now on plain
speaking and straightforward action,
the president deems it his duty to |
say, without any attempt to soften
what may seem harsh words, that the |
nations of the world do not and can
not trust the world to those who have |
hitherto been the masters of German
policy, and to point out once more
that in concluding peace and attempt
ing to undo the infinite injuries and
lnjustices in this war the government
If the United States cannot deal with
any but veritable representatives of
he German people who have been
assured of a genuine constitutional
standing as the real rulers of Ger
many.
eff it must deal with the military
masters and the monarchial autocrats

% have to deal with them later in
egard to the international obligations
# the German empire, it must de-
nand, not peace negotiations, but sur
ender. Nothing can be gained by
eaving this essential thing unsaid.' s

 Yesterday was the last day for the filing of nomination petitions for state and county offices. but few more petitions other than those filed for the soldier ballot coming in. These were for state representative. mostly on the Democratic ticket and candi- dates for precinct officers. Clerk A. C. Karger. of the board is today busy compiling the names as they will ap- pear on the official primary ballot which will go to press in time for distribution to the various precincts. So far he has not received official notification of the withdrawal of W. 4. Mouer from the governorship race. nor the filing of a state ticket by the Socialists, although newspaper re- ports have recorded these changes to be made He expects to have these in hand by tomorrow. The Socialists have put out no ticket in the county, although it had been reported they would do so.

With the two dead left In the boat. we result of the continuous rowing and their hands were soon covered by Sjis- ters. hut nevertheless we fad 10 row on. There was no rest.
 When We were 70 meters from the bank. our pontoon was hit below the the bullets struck our boat they made only a tiny hole. but as it emerged on sse bottom. IL tore an opening as large as plate. As result our pontoon settled rapidly and there was nothing else for us 10 do except to jump into fine icy water and swim. Hardly had we left the boat when It sank. but we all reached the other bank safe for the moment
 In spite of our vet clothing VIC had to take new boat at once. and with OUT blis;ered hands had to man the oars again. Tn the middle of the river we coliided with another boat This boat had lost its pilot and two rowers. It ramrned us and our pontoon tipped over and Is infantrymen and one mem- Der of the crew were thrown into the water. We were saved along with four men from the other pontoOn and taken 10 the left bank. Hardly had we landed before we were ordered to take over a pontoon loaded with ann intuition.
 About five more times We crossed the Mouse. Meanwhile day broke and then terrible battle developed between the troops which had crossed and The French. The Germans had the best in rhi> encounter because they could not be shelIed by the French ar- tillery.
 We were given a short rest and lay in our wafer-soaked clothing in an old abandoned trench shivering with cold. Our hands were swollen to twice their normal size. They pained so greatly that we could not hold c bottle to our lips. It was . terrible sight to see young and strong men lying on the ground helpless and broken.
 After a short rest we were ordered to seek for wounded in the burning houses hut we did not find many. for most of those who had been badly wounded and unable to save them- selves, were burned to death. Only
