Steunenberg for Van Sicklin

rage has never been perpetuated upon the Democratic
party IN the entire history of Idaho. 1t is my frim opin-
ion that, had Mr.. VanSicklin allowed the state house gang
to dictate his policies and control his appointments, the
name Of Mr.. Martin would never have been submitted
as a candidate.
mo free thinking person can deny the right of any
one to become a candidate for office under our primary
system, but at this time when the whole future of the
Democratic party depended upon concentration and CO.
operation t was the extreme limit of egotism for Mr..
Martin and his dictation club to say: Mr.. VanSicklin
won't do. | am the man. No matter if you are a good
Democrat and your nomination has been on file for weeks
| want the place so you must step aside Our peerless
leader, President Wilson, says politics is adjourned
Why has Mr.. Martin forced himself into a primary con-
test and complicated a political situation? Has his first
thought been the best interests of the country or per-
sonal gain?
There is not much more to say except that Martin is
Alexanders ndidate-VanSick the peoples.
II trust all my friends can see their way clear to sup
port Mr.. E. A. VanSicklin for Governor at the primary
election on September 3.

made we enter this school year with
approximately 100000 better off
than we were last year this time.
Owing to the fact that the Board
has found it necessary to increase the
teachers salary to a very consider
able extent, this amount will be de-
preciated approximately $2900.00, the
increase in salary that has been
granted to employees. We may an
ticipate further increase in cost Of
operation of the school owing to the
great increase in all material used in
educational work.

From the figures given above it will
be noted that there was not suffi-
cient funds received to meet the in
terest on the Bond Indebtedness. You
have raised the levy for the Bond,
INTEREST," and Sinking Fund from IL
mills to 2 mills for the coming year,
this will more than make up the
deficit.
Since July 1st we have received for
the General Fund, $2~0,239.03.
These receipts less the warranted
indebtedness and warrents drawn
since that date, leaves a balance on
this date of $9,083.86.
The balance a year ago at this time
was ~$2,245.54.
Thus, our General Fund is much
better off on this date than last year
at this time.
I suggest that should our receipt
to the General Fund approximate the
amount we received during the past
year that an endeavor be made to
augment the Bond, Interest and Sink
ing Fund from the General Fund suf-
ficiently to permit us to retire it at
100000 worth of Bonds.
Below you will note is a comparison
of receipts and disbursements of the
District for the past four years.

c. B. (Pete) Steunenberg has announced himself as
in favor of Edward A. VanScklin for Governor on the
Democratic ~ticket<and has made the following statement:
81 am an unqualified supported of Mr.. E. A. Van
Sicklin of Weiser for the position of Governor and think
the candidacy of Frank Martin ~illadvised and detriment-
al to the best interests of the Democratic party. Mr..
Martins friends are very firm in their statements that
we must concentrate on one man in order to save the
Democratic party, but seem to have overlooked the fact
that Mr.. VanSicklin is the logical man and that he filed
his acceptance of the nomination more than three weeks
before the name of Martin was ever filed. From what
data I can get / am sure VanSicklin is the stronger man
and will win in the primaries.
MIR. VanSicklin is a lifelong Democrat, a man of
sterling worth and integrity, possessing a mind of ex-
ceptional business activity and executive ability. He
wears no mans collar, and for this reason incurred the
displeasure of the state house gang who decreed that
VanSicklin must step aside and allow them to foist upon
the Democrats of Idaho a man of their own choosing.
This action caused me to investigate the names of the
parties responsible for the filing of Martins name, and
after perusing the same / feel that the term state house
gang is we'll applied. just look over his list which con-

UNSUITABLE SHIP FOR U. S.
ton Will Defy German
Submarines.

New York, Feb. 13.-Means have
unsuitable by submarine, according
to a statement made by William L..
Saunders, vice chairman Of the naval
consulting board, in an address at a
dinner of the University of Pennsyl-
vania alumni in this city.
Mr.. Saunders said that one of the
ships recently Communicated by the
government NOW lies at an Atlantic
port and in such shape that she cannot
be sunk by an exploding torpedo"
II can conceive of no reason why
this information should be withheld"
he added. 'On the contrary, believe,
it is well that the enemy may come
to realize that the time has been
reached when American transports
which that enemy cannot sink are
ready for the transportation of our
troops. This ship may have hole
thirty or forty feet in diameter blown
in her side and she will remain af1oat.
Such a hole would waterlog but one
tenth of the honeycombed alright
cells"
Mr.. Saunders described IN detail the
plan to keep ships afloat after they
had been torpedoed and the manner in
which it had been developed by Will
liam f. Donnelly, a New York marine
engineer, working under authorization
of tLe naval consulting board.
1t is understood that the unsuitable
ship has no fewer than $4,000 alright
cells.
"Of course II will take some time to
equip similarly the large number of
transports we have" continued Mr.
Saunders. at is my belief, however,
that nothing will be left undOne by
the administration to safeguard the
lives of large troop contingentS to be
moved across the Atlantic"
Secretary Baker has insisted before
the senate committee that 100000
American troops could be taken to
France and kept supplied during 1918.
His replies to the questions as to
where the tonnage for the task was
to come from have indicated that there
was some information at hand which
he did not care to disclose.

"a general peace erected on such

such a peace can be secured we have
no choice but to go on. So far as we
can judge these principles that we re-

where accepted as imperative except

| If they have anywhere else been re-

make their voices audible. The trag-
| ical circumstance is that this one party
| in Germany is apparently willing and
able to send millions of men to their
| death to prevent what all the world
now sees TO be just.
81 would not be a true spokesman

did not say once more that we entered
| this war upon no small occasion and

Without that new order the world will
