The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1920-10-14

demand He aspires to represent the
people of Idaho in the senate during
the coming six years. and in appeal
ing to them for support he is in honor
bound to answer the questions pro-
v pounded to him affecting his fitness
for the high and honorable position.
If he is tied up with an organization
o which is opposed to our system Of
3 government both state and national;
r whose leader is now under sentence
p for dsloyalty in time Of war; which
0 is radically socialistic in it's teachings.
and which is affiliated with the most
radical and disreputable organiza-
ton and elements in our country-if
he is tied up with this organization,
the people of Idaho have a right to
know it, The evidence all tends to
show that Senator Nugent is so tied
up and it is up to him to disprove IT,
That Senator Nugent is beginning to
realize that his position is untenable
was clearly indicated at Moscow a
few nights after his appearance in
Wallace. He is finding that silence
on the nonpartisan league Will not
satisfy the people.
At the Moscow meeting he was in
troduced by Frank L. Moore. an at
toney of that city who certainly did |
not help his professional reputation
by the plea he made in behalf of
Senator Nugent and his "entangling
alliance" with the nonpartisan lea
que. After eulogizing Senator Nugent
for standing "squarey on all tours
upon the greatest program for con-
structive and progressive legislation
inaugurated and carried to success
ful conclusion by the greatest states
man the world has ever known,
Woodrow Wilson" Mr. Moore said;
IF perchance Mr. Samuels, the
candidate Of the nonpartisans for
the Office of United States sena-
tor. through a friendship for Mr.. [
Nugent or through a desire to q
accomplish the defeat of Mr..
Gooding Senator Nugents oppon-
ent, sees At to withdraw from the ,
contest it can be no concern of
any person, other than those who
are interested in Mr. Gooding's
election
Senator Nugent will pay no
attention to such attacks as these.
He owes it to himself and he owes
it to the great democratic party,
and to all people whom he can
serve as a senator. that he follow
course of conduct that will not
ALLEVIATE any vote. nor antagonize
any organization of men,"
Bear in mind that these remarks
by Mr.. Moore were made in the course j
Of a speech introducing Senator Nu- ell
gent to a Moscow audience, and there d
fore it must be assumed that they "
we're made with his full approval. SO al
# Mr.. Samuels withdrew from the m
senatorial contest in fulhnment of an
agreement under the terms of which "
Senator Nugent would secure the sup
port of the nonpartisan league, that
S matter of no concern of the peo-
DE of this state. according to this
ponsor for Senator Nugent, and the
enator will pay no attention to these
ttacks. II Senator Nugent contin- %
es to pay no attention to these at ~
acks. it will be because he is unable &c
o defend himself against them and 90
OF because they are of no concern to o"
he people 80
Ii would have been better for SEN .io
tor Nugent if he had faced the audi
nee and made his own defense rath-
r than intrust it to his friend
Ioore. He sat silently upon the same -,
atform while Mr.. Moore assured the 49,
idience that Senator Nugent will
ollow course of conduct that will 49,
1t ALLEVIATE any vote, nor antagonize
ny organization of men, 49,
If that last statement made in be-
ilf of Senator Nugent in his pres
zee and with his approval, does not
enate right thinking voters and an al.
gonize loyal organizations then the 80.
lndard of American citizenship has -.
opped to level in Idaho that is not ina.
sditable to the state.
