their methods.
Ex-Governor Hawley has entered
the arena against the Nonpartisan
league leaders with his accustomed
vigor and he declares he proposes to
make 1t plain that he will not lay
down for minute.
The feeling of the Democrats to-
wards the Nonpartisan league is en-
phatically denoted in statements Civ

fcult for those who are observers OF
political developments to see, for in

man in Idaho who Is not going to
vote for the league candidates?
This tells more than we could
hope to do on paper"
Charge Deception.
The Democratic literature also
takes the league to task for its ''at-
tempted deception of the farmers and
laborers of Idaho. The fact that the
league had ignored the state casualty
fund, although being pledged in its
platform and had insured it's en-
ployes in the Maryland Casualty COM
pany has been widely circulated by
the Democratic managers.
The manner in which the league Is
grabbing fees from the farmers
without giving them a shade of hope
for any relief from any ills they may
suffer" is also italicised in this liter
ature. The Democratic managers de-
clare they are more hopeful than ever
of defeating the Nonpartisan league
candidates and that they win keep up
a brisk campaign against them until
the polls close on primary election
day.
Charge Cut and Dried.
AS part of the Democratic cam.
paign against the Nonpartisan league
evidence is furnished for publication
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1918-08-30

to sustain the charge that the league
convention in Boise was q 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 II is
also declared by the Democrats that
pictures were sent out weeks before
from which cuts were made and that
1t was no necessary to send any al
tentative pictures as 1t was known
definitely who would be nominated
and therefore what cuts would be
needed for the leagues official publi-
cation.
Compliment 70 Borah.
A decidedly neat compliment was
paid to Senator Borah recently by
Senator John Sharp williams OF Mis-
sissippi. The Missississippi senator
was talking on the question OF reor-
J ganization OF executive departments
and took occasion to say:
Mr.. President, every patriot
ic American who loves the Amer
lean Republic. who loves the
cause OF liberty and democracy
and the free pursuit Of happiness
throughout the world loves to
listen to the voice of the senator
from Idaho tMr. Borah) when
