Gratis, as seen by the leaders OF that
party. At the same time 1t has its
own separate political party platform.
Gathering Data.
The Democratic managers are busy
delving into the Nonpartisan league,
its origin. its purposes. its accomp-
lishnlents, its connections, the atti-
tude OF its leaders with reference to
Americans war. their their associa-
tion with the l. w. w. etc. as am
munition for possible defense. They
find, it is stated. and will SO proclaim
at the proper time. that the Nonparti-
san league was born of socialism for
the purpose of putting socialism over
under a guise that the farmers and la
boring classes would not suspect So
cialism has not thrived notably
among the farmers, nor among any
class. In the west and middle-west.
1t must be disguised to get by quickly.
It is pointed out; hence the Nonpar-
tisan league
Republican Attitude.
So far the Republicans are the re-
cipients of the Nonpartisan league
favora. first because the Republican
platform convention adopted some OF
the leagues propaganda. and second.
because the league has so far indicat-
ed purpose TO keep It's hands off the
the Republican primaries. So the Re-
publican managers have no signifi-
cant attitude at present on the situa-
tion end there has been no cOmmo-
ton in the Republican camp over the
developments. brought about by the
leaders of the Nonpartisan league.
Much will depend on the result of
the primaries as to the trend OF the
Republican campaign. Chairman Tay-
lor declares he stands for honest,
patriotic, all-American politics." and
meantime is simply watching devel-
opments and not attempting To shape
them.

DEMOCRATS DON'T KNOW
WHERE THEY ARE AT
Action Of Non-PartiSan League Has Got Demo
cratic Party Leaders Guessing May go to
Court to Settle Matters.

Boise, Idaho. July l6.-The DEM
ocratic managers are considering
ways and means to take the fullest
possible advantage of the effort of the
Nonpartisan league leaders to take
their party over They did not and
do not seek the aid of the league, and
In view OF the suspicion attaching to
various leaders of the league because
OF certain peculiar actions and polit-
ical deals and because of the prose-
cHtion Of some of its leaders and or
ganizers for disloyalty and also be-
cause of the known fact that many
farmers are having their eyes opened
and are not warming up to the league
leaders as they did at first, the Dem
ocratic managers believe they are In
position to make straightout fight
against the Nonpartisan league ticket
and defeat IL in the primaries as to
state officials. Such a defeat, 1t is
felt by them, would immensely en-
hance the chances OF their ticket be-
Ing elected in November.
May Go Into Courts.
However, much hinges upon the
probability OF the Nonpartisan league
effort to gobble up the Democratic
party going into the courts. The the
ory. and so far the practice. OF the
Idaho direct primary law is to protect
each party from interference by any
other party in the selection OF its can

might land undesirable men on both

into consideration and pledges the
elector, and also the candidate, 1t is
held. to support the candidates of the

LETTERS FROM OUR BOYS IN
FRANCE ARE WELCOME NEWS

Letters were received during the
past week from several of the Mont
pelier boys, who went to France last
winter as members of the old Second
Idaho regiment. Eddie 0'Connor
wrote that he was in the hospital,
suffering with slight attack of blood
poison, caused from scratch on his
hand. He stated that he was getting
along nicely and would soon be able
for active duty again.
From a letter written by Jim
Holmes to his parents. we publish the
following extracts:
I'VE are drilling quite hard now
from 1880 a. m. to 6:15 p. m. and
most of the time under full pack. We
have not been very close to the front
yet, but are living in strong hopes Of
getting there some day. We are 60
ing out ON convoy in a few days and
practice putting the guns in position.
I'VE have been digging pits for them
the last few days. This branch Of the
service is quite interesting. but there
IL lots Of hard work with It. The
guns are hauled by motor trucks. We
have no horses now at all. We are
still quartered in old buildings. l
will be glad to get back into squad
tents again. We are having fine
weather here now and most OF the
hay il ready TO cut.

made OF hard wood and had been
hand cut. l thought the work very
slow but the industry the women dis
played was remarkable, and It was
not very long until they had finished
working the whole fleld--about two
acres. Every day now these scenes
may b. had for the looking. though
to us who have been here 30 long
they have lost interest It seems to
be new order of things that IL abb
soluteIy necessary. and the women OF
France are surely displaying wonder
full pluck.
"one thing that has struck me pc
culiarly--I have not seen a single
building under construction In all the
time we have been in France. There
ID one Wig reason for this, and that is.
there are no men to do the work. But
there are other reasons. Every build
ing that is now standing was built
some years ago. None of them, be-
lieve, hre less than SO years old.
These people would be as greatly sur
prised to see some Of our modern
buildings AZ they would TO see our
modern hay and grainhelds.
THE weather here has been ex-
ceedingly warm the past few days
but guess we will be able TO stand II
all right. Sure would like to be out
on the shores Of Bear Lake for q few
days.
IF yDu learn of the regiment that
Raymond Reese Is attached to let me
know. Some time I may happen "a
run across the organization. and
would like to see the old boy"
Roy Jones, also of Battery q. IN
writing to his parents, says:
I'VE are far enough behind the
lines 80 that we are allowed TO tell
the name OF the place We are In. II
You wish 10 see where we are sta
toned at the present time. get a mar
