LONDONDERRY RIOT
Start Vigorous Cam

Thursday
FAMINE IS FEARED
Desperate Effort Being
Made to Get Food
Into City
FAMINE IS FEARED

LONDON. - Military authorities
had gained control and were holding
the city in an iron grip Thursday
night, according to latest reports
here from Londonderry.
A rigorous campaign to round up
snipers has been begun.
The only certain victim of the
fighting Thursday was small boy
of eight, who was shot dead in a
Catholic institiontion.
One of the bloodiest episodes of
the civil warfare in Londonderry, en-
failing the deaths of five Sim Fein-
ers, occurred Wednesday night when
an officer sought momentary truce
to pilot a party of Protestants thru
Bishop street. The lSinn Feiners
behind Sand bags thrown up in the
thorofare, refused to recognize the
truce whereupon the military forces
opened a terrific machine gun bar
rage resulting in the killing of five
Sim Fein forces and the probable
wounding of several others.
The city magistrates made desper-
ate attempt to get food into the city
to stave threatened famine. The
government decided against a
declaration of martial law in Lon
denderry, it has been announced,
after a consultation whit Sir Neville
Masready, commanding their forces
in Ireland. Sir Neville declared such
move would be inadvisable.
Several additional battalions of
British troopss Thursday night were
under orders to proceed to Ireland as
much to cope with the threatened
shutting down of the railroads as
with the Londonderry uprising.
1t is understood that Ulster vol
unteers have offered the govern
ment 5000 trained men to assist in
restoring order in Londonderry.
Carsonites have established camp
at Strabane, where they are drilling
and are said to be in readiness for
any emergency CALL
Statements from Dublin castle
denied the charge made by the Sim
Fein leader, Griffith, that the Lon
donderry fighting was oragnized and
precipitated by English officials as

There is a sort of germ or microbe
of some kind that gets into people s
systems and makes them feel blue
and pessimistic. That microbe is a
mighty dangerous bug and the only
way to keep that bug from losing you
this contest it to feed that same bug
large amounts of real energy. Hustle
and energy are sure cures for the
disease.
Some contestants become discour-
aged when a competitor casts big
vote with that object in view. Then,
sometimes forgetful for the moment
of the pleasure of the magnificent
prizes, a candidate will stop by the
wayside to bemoan his or her fate.
The result is that those who possess
more hustle and ambition and energy
go around them while they are think
ing it over.
Today and tomorrow are the days
that will put those who take ad-
vantage of them to the front. They
will probably be the banner days of
the contest

Review of What is Doing in the Matter of
Selecting the Proper Candidates to
Fill the Offices to be
Vacant This Fall
CANDIDATES MUST FILE
NOMINATIONS NEXT WEEK
People Have Expressed Preference Thru a
QUESTIONABLE Sent Out by the
Idaho Republican

The matter of attending to local
politics has been put off about as
long as it can be, and nomination
papers must be filed next week.
The Idaho Republican has been
investigating road and political mat
ters in Bingham county for some
time, and has more information on
the matter than anyone else. The
road news has been published along
as it happened, so we have not much
to add to that, but the political sit
uation has been expressed to this Of
flee thru a QUESTIONABLE the most
complete the county has ever had,
and we have the latest there is on
the subject and the most complete.
People Want Good Candidates
We doubt if there was ever time
when so many people sincerely wish
ed that good men and women might
be elected to office in this county.
They feel that old Bingham county
has been pretty well managed for
long time, that more than one in
fluence has been active in protect
ing the peoples interests, and they
want to cooperate with those who
have done so much to keep things
running right or as nearly right as
could humanity be expected. There
is not so much of party partisan
ship this year as there has usually
been. People don't care SO much
whether man is a Republican or a
Democrat, if he is a good level-head-
ed man and willing to serve and do
his best; it doesn't matter so much
which ticket he ties up with, he is
under our flag and he is for home
and the home land.
When we speak of county politics
we refer to those men and women
who are selected by the voters of
this county to serve anywhere in
state and county. That does not in
clude the candidate for the supreme
court, because the voters Of the state
select him for state position.
Who Are Candidates
Senator William A. Lee of Black
foot will be a candidate for the su-
preme bench and If Bingham county
wants to do anything to get him
nominated they have to send dele
CATION to the state convention at Po-
catello August "a to work for Lee.

Indictments of
Oil Companies is
Not a Surprise

NEW YORK Federal indict-
ments charging fraud against four
oil companies. eleven brokerage
houses and fifty individuals, and an
announcement by the New York
stock exchange that Allan A. Ryan
had been expelled from the exchange,
set the metropolis financial district
buzzing Thursday.
Neither of the actions was en-
tirely unexpected. The federal gov
ernment was known to have had an
investigation force at work on al
legged fraudulent use of the mails
in selling oil stocks for more than
six months, and Mr.. Ryau himself
predicted the action of the board of
governors of the stock exchange in
a declaration in which he charged
that he was to be tried by packed
jury and that its decision was pre-
conceived.

AS the struggle for the lead in the
Idaho Republicans automobile elec.
tion continues, and as public interest
and enthusiasm and earnest support
of favorite candidates come to the
front there is considerable specula-
tion heard on all sides as to which
candidates seem to have the best
chance at the big touring cars.
Every section has it's hard work
ers, some making their efforts known
by heavy deposits of votes; others
working diligently and quietly and
getting there just the same.
Quiet work sometimes does won
Iders, yet there are arguments against
efforts under cover. One of the most
forceful points in favor of the can
didates who do their work so that
their friends will be more eager to
support them in the campaign for
the prizes is that they see the can
didate is hustling hard in person.
N Near the ending of the campaign
Just now when everyone is working
to put his or her nearest competitor
away back in the last row under the
balcony-there is liable to be an cpl
sdemic strike some of the candidates.

TEE H0MICiDR RECORD

For some time Dallas apparently
neld the unenviable record Of leading
the cities Of the South in the num-
Der Of killings" which took place
there but is being hard pressed for
first place. If, indeed it has not al
ready been distanced, by Oklahoma
City. While Dallas seems to special
ize in the gentle art of husband kill
ing, after which the self.made wild
ows either jump their bail or are ac-
quilted, in Oklahoma City It seems
to be the husbands who are doing
the most Of the killing, after which
they have Of late been setting the
iaudable example Of finishing the Job
BY putting themselves out Of the ju-
risdiction Of the courts by the pistol
or poison route.

PLENTY OF HARVEST HANDS

with which to dispatch the wheat ia

state labor bureau is to the effect
that Oklahoma has had an abundance
Of harvest hands this year. The

says that the crop is even greater
than in 1919 and also brings the cheer
ing news that the car shortage prob.

vator men and the railroads than had
been imagined could be possible.
For the past ten days or two weeks
r. E. Echols, member Of the state
corporation commission, has spent
a great deal Of his time in the wheat
producing area conferring with wheat
raisers, elevator men and railway Of
ficials In an effort to assist In secur-
ing sufficient cars to move the crop.
Farmers who are familiar with Com
missioner Echols in this regard are
giving him unstinted praise and many
declare that he has been the most
important factor in aiding the far
mers to move their product.
