In INTEREST OF LOWER TAXES

on by the club chairman, Harry Hill,
who offered the freedom of the plat
form at Island park tomorrow to any
republican speaker who might wish
TO appear from the outside. Il is the
intention to call to the platform the
two republican senatorial candidates
already nominated to let them tell
what we shall do to be saved. Both
may be sure of respectful hearing.
Senator Whiteomb, who had TO
move out of the county 10 escape run
ming for the senate again, has been
Invited, as have also Judge Adair and
his democratic opponent in the race

and Judge Stevens and Judge Cowen.
Speakers for Meeting.
Ralph Thrasher journeyed to Chal-
liS al an early hour this morning to
bfiEg back Governor Alexander, who
had spoken at that place the evening
before. Mr.. Alexander steps with the
agility of youth in spite of has advane-
ing years. In aiertness of mind he is
stisl a most forceful speaker. II was
reported that the old war horse of
democracy would be ready to start
this way as soon as the car-could be
nRde ready for the trip and sure
enough he was found up and abroad
before most of the townspeople.
Judge Morgan came in by train, be-
ing met by DIR. Stratton, Harry Hill
and A. c. Amonson in the latter's car
The distinguished lawyer and demo-
crat is in splendid health and spirits,
the same genial gentleman as of old.
On his way he stopped at Blackfoot
to visit relatives. Ii was expected
that other speakers could be present,
including Judge Stevens, Judge Cow
en-, Judge Adair and Judge Harris. the
latter running as a democratic canli-
date against Judge Adair.
Going After Hides.
Judges Adair and Harris, the OPP
posing candidates in the coming cleo
ton, as well as Senator Whitcomb
and Judges Cowen and Stevens, were
all invited in q composite telegram
addressed to Senator Whiteomb. This
message it seems from the senator's
reply got little mixed in transmits
sion, the same being corrected in a
Sd1Sciucut Niit. DtBdtuI NHitcuHiD

Mr.. ]. F. Melvin, Salmon, Idaho:-<
Dear Mr.. Melvin. have this morning
received wire, which is badly mixeI
in its wording, due unquestionably to
tkaaSault of the operator of the re-
ceiving end Of the telephone wire at
Armstead.
The wire indicates that Judge Nor
gan and Ex-Governor Alexander arc
going to speak in Salmon next Satur-
day, on hides and Republicans" |
suppose this means that they are go
ing after the Republican hides.
] certainly should like to be pres
ent upon the occasion and listen to
what both Judge Morgan and ex-Gov-
ernor Alexander have to say, but my
business here is such that ] shall be
kept constantly busy until about the
middle of August, if not later.
Judge Adair is now holding court
in Pocatello, and | know that his en-
are such that he will be
kept constantly busy here at Black
foot on his return home.
You speak of a party by the name
Of Judge Charles, and persume you
are meaning Judge Charles Harris, al
though his last name is not mentioned
N the telegram. ! will communicate
the contents of the wire to him, so far
rs ! am able to interpret it,
Thanking you for the consi leration
given me, and assuring you that
would be pleased to be nsesent if pos
lible, | remain
Very truly yours,
+. w. WHITCOMB.
