Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1921-08-06

Judge White was nominated by the
Republican central committee to fill
the vacancy on their ticket for pro-
bate judge.
e. G. Towne withdrew as the Dem
ocratic candidate for senator, and j.
A. Purtill was nominated by the com
mittee to fill the vacancy for school
superintendent; John w. Latty with
drew as a candidate for assessor; Roy
Bogard withdrew as a candidate for
clerk, and Frank Hobbs, nominee for
coroner, did likewise, and four va
cancies remained to be filled on the
Democratic county ticket.
The central committee met and
filled the vacancies by the nomina-
ton of e. l. Stevens for clerk of the
district court, Frank Hartman for
assessor, Mrs. L. B. Wertz for school
superintendent and Joe Barrett for
coroner.
The Idaho statute requiring any
person nominated for a county office
who declined the nomination or
withdrew as a candidate to file a
notice in writing of such declina-
tion or withdrawal with the auditor
at least thirty days before the cleo
ton, in order to make a vacancy on
the ticket, and the said notice to be
certified to by the registrar of the
precinct in which the candidate re-
sides, before filing same with the
auditor, and the destinations Of
Towne, Bogard, Latty, Hobbs and
Mrs. Cosgrove not being certified to
by the registrars and not being filed
within the statutory time, the ques-
tion OF the legality of the nomina-
lions to fill vacancies came up.
When Chairman Nicholson of the
Democratic county central commit
tee offered to file the certificates OF
nomination Of Purtill, Stevens, Hart
man, Mrs. Wertz and Barrett to fill
the vacancies on the ticket, Clerk
Smith submitted the matter to the
county attorney. That officer filed
his opinion in writing TO the effect
that the statutory regulations not
being carried out, no legal vacancies
existed on the Democratic ticket, and
consequently those names could not
be placed on the Democratic ticket
in the official ballot.
e. NJ. Wolfe, attorney for Purtill
ct al. took exception to the opinion,
holding that the section in the stat
ute requiring such procedure was di-
rectory, not mandatory,
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1921-08-06

County Auditor Smith, however
acted upon the advice of County AT.
torney Sinnott and refused to iii,
the certificates of nomination.
A similar question had already
arisen In Canyon county, the auditor
OF that county refusing to file a GER,
tificate of nomination TO fill a va.
cancy on the Democratic ticket fol
representative, the auditor, Edgar
Meek, being a Democrat also, and
formerly a resident of Rocky Bar. In
a mandamus suit to compel Auditor
Meek to fill the vacancy on the Of
ficial ballot, Meek was sustained in
the district court, and the case went
to the supreme court on appeal.
A mandamus suit was at once in
stituted against Auditor Smith to
place the names of Purtill, Stevens,
Hartman, Mrs. Wertz and Barrett on
the official ballot as Democratic can
didates for senator, clerk OF district
court, assessor, school su~perintend-
ent and orone E. M. Wolfe ap-
peared for the candidates and Coun-
ty Attorney Sinnott and w. C. HOWE
for the auditor.
Judge Perky reserved his decision
pending the action of the supreme
court in the Canyon county case. but
filed anopinion that that section OF
the statute was not mandatory but
directory.
The supreme court decided in fa-
0 of Auditor Meek of Canyon
county, and that decision carried
with it the Gilmore county case. 1t
was therefore decided that the names
of Towne. Bogard, Latty, Hobbs
and Mrs. Cosgroye must remain on
the official ballot.
The fight was hard and bitter in
Elmore on the county ticket. This
was the result of the election. Sem

credit and efficiency.
II was reported on the strests OF
Glenns Ferry just after the adjourn
ment of the convention that one OF
the "buncoed' four candidates for
sheriff was promised by the Steun-
enberg-Martin bosses the janitor-
ship of the court house as a balm
for his outraged feelings, and that
he indignantly spurned the offer,
but this conscientious historian does
not vouch for the truth of the state
ment.
John w. Latty, an anti-Steunen-
berg man, declined the honor CD OF
nomination for assessor by this body
but his objection was overruled by
the chair. Other candidates ran
into a decline" but the chair was
peremptory and the declines would
not be entertained.
E. F. Phelan, who had acted as
judge at the Mountain Home pri-
mary, being at Glenns Ferry during
the session of the convention, stat
ed that he had been promised a
seat in the state convention as a
delegate. However, when the cleo
ton of delegates came up before
those solons of Gilmore county a COM
mittee of them waited on the ex-
judge to explain" why they could
not keep their proise.
There were two candidates for the
governorship to go before the Dem
ocratic state convention. One was
Hon. f. w. Hunt, who had already
served a term in that office ably
and h|onorably and had shown him
self a true friend of organized la
Dor by the abolition of martial law
and the infamous permit system in
the Occur d'Aienes, as we'll as the
p%ardoning of Paul Corcoran, the
miner from Shoshone county, unjust
ly imprisoned in the state peniten-
tiary. Hunt was the choice of the
anti-Steunenberg wing of Democracy.
His opponent for the nomination was
Frank Martin, then attorney general,
who had stood up openly and bodily
in favor of all the evils in the Occur
d'Alenes which Governor Hunt had
revoked.
The county convention at Glenns
Ferry, seemingly bent on undoing
Hunts sublime work, sent the dele
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1921-08-06

cratic convention, requesting a union
OF the two parties-the Populists to
nominate the auditor and mine in
spector and the rest of the ticket
to be filled by the Democratic con-
vention.
Through the combined effort of
the Steunenbergwing, aided by a few
Hunt men who opposed to fusion, the
proposal of the Populist convention
was rejected. The Populist conven-
ton then adjournedwithout nomin-
ating a ticket, and the result of this
blow aimed at them in the Democrat
lie convention, six thousand Populists
in the state either refrained from
voting on election day or voted the
Republican ticket, and the entire
Democratic ticket went down to de-
Feat at the ensuing election. The
rule or ruin" element had won the
day before the compaign begun, but
the road to ruin was already laid
out for the Democratic state ticket.
r. w. Hunt received the nomina-
ton for governor; G. j. Bassett for
secretary of state, and Joe Hutchin-
son of Silver City, a true friend of
labor as we'll as a brilliant, eloquent
orator, was nominated for congress,
All three of these were anti-Steun-
enberg. Hutchinson had been lieu
tenant governor under S~teunenberg
and had fought the bull pen propo-
sition to the bitter end,
AS soon as the news of Hunts
nomination reached Mountain Home,
Hon. e. C. Helfrich, j. d Whitson,
j. NJ. Cowen,R r.. p. Daniel, DR.. b. B.
Swan, Thomas Wayte, +. w. Boyd, A.
Rosenheim, G. M. Payne and about
twenty others whose James we a
not now recall, telegraphed their
congratulations to Governor Hunt on
his nomination, and promising him a
handsome majority in this county de-
the stand taken by the Gilmore
delegation.
The Republican county convention
sat in Mountain Home shortly after

CHAPTER XXXIX
A few days after the adjournment
of the dark lantern S~teunenberg-
Martin county Democratic conven-
ton at Glenns Ferry, Judge j. A.
Nicholson, on behalf Of T.. NJ. Wolfe,
r. p. Chattin, i. p. AXE, j. w. Ball
ey and other S~teunenberg Demo
Gratis, called at the Bulletin office
and informed Mr.. Payne that he was
elected by the aforesaid syndicate to
negotiate for the purchase of the
Bulletin plant-intimating that II
such could not be contaminated, the
parties whom he represented would
immedi ately launch another Demo-
cratic paper in Mountain Home. Mr..
Nicholson soon receiyedMr. Payne'E
figures for the plant and retired *
report. The syndicate had already
imported a printer from Bingham
City, Utah, and the next day this
gentleman, Mr.. Pascoe, came over
from Mr.. Wobfe's office bearing In
his hands checks Of various indi-
viduals covering the sum agreed up
on and an instrument Of writing con-
veying to II. p. Chattin, trustee, the
bill of sale binding Payne not to
embark again in the newspaper bus
mess in Elmore county; he fatty re-
fused to sign it. The gentleman
from the land of Latter Day Saints
returned to the Steunenberg wicki-
up and reported progress. In a few
hours he returned with another doc
ument In which the Objectionable
clause was omitted, paid over the
money and the transfer was duly
made. And from that day to this the
Mountain Home ring OF official pap
suckers have possessed a plant or
gan.
With the money obtained by the
sale Of the Bulletin plant, Mr.. Payne
purchased a lot and building on Main
and also entirely print
ing material, with the expectation
of starting a new paper and hav-
ing some fun for a few weeks at
before the close of the then
pending campaign. His hopes, how
ever, did not materialize, owing to
the ~non-arrival of printing material
(Which had been entirely paid for

ton in that body.

demning the state taken by the Ell

test, under the editorship and own
ership of G. M, Payne, and the Sc
lectionof a county central committee,
the most notorious boss-ridden, sub
servient assemblage that ever dis
graced an independent, honoest
Democracy, adjourned sine die, hav-
ing launched forth a ticket from
which five nominees subsequently
withdrew.
CHAPTER XXXVIII
In August, 1902, the Democratic
and Populist state conventions met
at Pocatello. Judge Perky OF FL
more county, the chairman Of the
Democratic state central committee,
opened the Democratic convention
with the most brilliant Grafton ever
delivered in Idaho.
The Hunt forces, comprising the
anti-Steunenberg wing, on "Dynamlt-
ers," and the Martin forces, COM
prising the Steunenberg wing, or
Boxers" each put forth all their
strength for the control OF the con-
yention. The Hunt men securing
the temporary chairmanship after a
stormy contest, it was conceded that
Governor Hunt would again be n
nominee for the gubernatorial chalr.
The arrest of Warden Arney during
the convention was the next move
by the Martin forces. Arney was a
delegate from Ada county to the con-
vention and a Hunt man. AT TINS
time he was warden of the state PEN
itentiary, and through the mechlh-
ations of Attorney General Martin,
the would-be governor, a criminal
complaint was sworn out in the pro-
bate court of Ada county, charging
Warden Arney and DR.. Dubois with
a criminal operation upon Josie Ken
sler. the life convict from Gilmore
county, but the warrant OF arrest
was not served until this particular
time. the intent being to throw a

needs one now as 1t never needed 1,
before. 1t needs followers of his
ideals in every precinct to lay hold
of the foundations of political and
business activity and hew to the line
along honest purposes for honest SER
vice.
We have in this county the
spectacle of county government
struggling along on three wheels
when it should have four. Ineffici-
ency and selfishness have knocked
much of the work out of one wheel
and left little but the rim, and 1t does
not function right. AS a result the
whole machine is only functioning at
about SO per cent of what it should,
and the weakest spot has been
pointed out, identified, checked up
and acknowledged and the remedy
made plain, but no remedy has been
applied. &,
The people who have it in their
power to apply the remedy are de-
f1ant, and those who ought to demand
it are inactive as if afraid of hurting
somebody's feelings. 1t looks as If
the whole body polite in Bingham
county had sagged, and was in that
condition of a sick cat that had lain
around the stove until it had not pep
enough to catch q mouse and cuff it
even If somebody herded it out into
the open.

r. E. HANSEN DECLINED

r. E. Hansen has been asked re-
Gently by a good many people if he
would serve on the city council and
in replying to all these inquiries he
stated that he did not care to. He
did not attend either of the nominal
ing conventions, yet his name was
used in the first one he received a
strong vote, and in the other conven-
ton on the Peoples ticket.
Out of respect for the opinions of
those to whom he stated that he did
not care to serve, he wishes to inform
chem that the use of his name in the
conventions was without his consent,
and his name will not appear on the
ticket.
Mr.. Hansen does not wish to appear
in the light of one who is Sinking
public duty, but says he was not in
full accord with the plan that is be-
ing followed in buying the old water
system and making it over, and he
does not think it would fear to him
nor to the public to elect a man to
take charge of work and business
that does not follow the plans he
favored. He thinks the men who be-
lieved in this plan and who have
studied it and developed it to the
present status should be kept in
charge or so many of them kept in
charge as can be, until it is COM
pleted. He does not wish to obstruct
the undertaking already commenced
by others and he would not find sat
isfaction in serving on the task Of
completing something that did not
meet with his approval to such an ex-
tent as to arouse his interest and en-
thusiasm.
