Third Party Leaders
Against Farm Relief

One of the publications support
ing the LaFollette ticket is the ex
tremely radical-socialist pape
known as Labor, published solely
and alone in the interest of organ
lied labor in the manufacturing and
transportation industries. T h 1 s
same paper is also the official organ
of the LaFollette-Wheele party, and
special editions of it are being cir
culated by the million by the La
Follette-Wheeler campaign commit
tee.
On May "a, 1924, this publication
issued a list of congressman against
whose nomination or election it
urged its readers to work and vote.
On this list was practically every
Republican congressman of the Mis-
sissippi valley states who had voted
for the agricultural measures de-
sired by the farmers and particular
ly those enacted into law by the
67th congress. Among some of the
outstanding Republican congress-
men who were listed for opposition
and defeat by this LaFollette party
publication are:
Representative Lester J. Dickin-
son Of Iowa, who organized the
farm bloc in the house; Represent
alive Haugen of Iowa, chairman of
the house committee on agriculture
and one of the authors of the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill; Representative
Tincher of Kansas, one of the auth
ors of the Capper-Tincher bill to
regulate grain exchanges; -.epre-
sentative Burtness of North Dakota,
one of the authors of the Norbeck
Burtness bill; Representative Ket-

publican congressman in the states
of South Dakota and Colorado and

Straw Vote Reflects
Intention of. Voters

The Literary Digest's presidential
straw vote, which indicates a Cool
idge landslide, has started a storm
| OF condemnation. The Boise States
man says:
Those who resent the votes indi-
cation of the weakness Of their ia
vorite candidates, say the poll is
fixed" or that the mailing lists
used were of such character that the
voting cards went largely to Repub-
licans, or that Republican postmast-
ers have been sending in the unde-
livered cards marked for Coolidge,
or something else of the kind
All these things are possible. Be-
cause they are possible, we do not
let our people vote for president in
that way. 1t would be very simple
and inexpensive to send out post
card ballots to all the voters on the
registration lists, but there would
be too much opportunity for fraud if
official balloting were done in that
manner.
But these possible suggested mis-
uses of the poll are not probable.
Such tampering, IL done on any large
scale, would be certain to be discov-

as it can, it must also take such a
poll as will truly reflect the real vote
next month. That is to say, the real
vote will tell whether the Digest is a
good forecaster or not. Since the
Digest expects to be serving up news
during many future campaigns, it
will not likely misbehave now.

Blackfoot High School
Loses To Idaho Falls

Launching terrific offensive
from the moment the game started,
the Idaho Falls high school team
swept the lighter Blackfoot players
off their feet and rolled up a score
of 80 points in the first half of the
game played on the local field last
Friday afternoon. In the second
half Blackfoot took a brace and Ida
no Falls was unable to score again
during the last half, while Black
foot was only able to score once,
Keveran getting touchdown as the
result of a long forward pass. The
final score was Idaho Falls 80,
Blackfoot z.
In spite of the cold day a large
crowd attended the game and the
gate receipts amounted to about
$4,000.

PLAN GREAT FAIR
IN SOUTHEASTERN
IDAHO NEXT YEAR
Delegates From Other
Counties Approve OF
District Project

Paving the way for a representa-
tive southeastern Idaho fair to COM
bine the resources of all the counties
of this section of the state into one
great agricultural and livestock ex-
position that in a short time will be
second to none in the entire north
west, definite steps were taken at a
meeting of delegates from Bonnie
vile, Bannock and Bingham counties
at the chamber of commerce rooms
at Blackfoot Wednesday afternoon,
looking to the organization of fair
district along the lines of the larger
irrigation districts. Preliminary
action to secure necessary enabling
legislation for the formation of such
a district will be taken by commit
tee appointed at the meeting. This
committee will comprise three mem
bers from each of the counties rep
resented here Wednesday.
Opinion of those who have been
active in the promotion of truly
representative fair for the entire
southeastern part of the state, as
voiced at the meeting, was that
there should be no application for a
state appropriation but that a levy
of a fraction of mill by each of the
counties would be ample to give the
fair a good start after which it
would be self-supporting.
Commissioners Nelson Miller and
John R. Williams of the Bingham
county board of county commission
ers were present and offered to turn
over to the proposed district organ

To perform a service for all the
voters of Bingham county and to
enable voters to fix the responsibility
for whatever action is taken at the
polls regarding the selection OF
prosecuting attorney for the coming
term, the editor of the Idaho Re-
publican went into the public records
to see If any abuse had been made of
the one large cash account that lies
waiting for the county attorney to
use as he sees fit.
On the first of each calendar year
one thousand dollars of county
money is set aside for use of the
prosecuting attorney for hiring sec
ret service men or anything which
he may wish to use it for in bringing
criminals to justice. In time long
gone by we learned that it was a
prolific source of abuse because of
the secrecy of operating with it, for
only the county attorney and the
district judge could have full infor-
nation as to how the money was
used. For many years past that
fund has been handled in a way that
was above criticism, and for the year
1928 it lay practically untouched
throughout the year, there being
but five dollars of it used, and 1895
was returned to the general fund.
We went to the district judge to ask
if there had been any inclination on
the part of the county attorney to
take money from the contingent
fund for improper or questionable
purposes and were informed that it
had been handled in cleanest honor.
II any attempt had been made to
misuse it that would have come to
his notice. Judge Adair went fur

Editor Analyses Administration
OF Office OF County Attorney

Their in the matter and said that
while Mr.. Wright had used all OF
that fund this year, he had used
most of it in making thorough
preparation for two very expensive
suits that had failed of conviction
through circumstances not charge
able to failure of the county attor-
ney. One was due mainly to a
change of front on the part of the
main witness, and the loss of the
other suit was due, according to con-
fessions Of jurors, to the belief that
not all of the guilty parties had been
brought into. court and that it would
be impossible to decide where the
responsibility began and ended.
According to their statements, they
refused to convict just one out of
many who were blamable.
What the editor of the Republi-
can wanted to determine was wheth-
er or not the honor and integrity
of the officer were above reprOach,
and finding that the contingent fund
was respected, we considered that
sufficient test. If the officer we're
dishonest he would show it by the
way he handled that fund in a quiet
year.
We have observed that lIr. Wright
has saved the county thousands of
dollars by his method of handling
criminal matters. When complaints
come to him he goes out and makes
a personal investigation in the COM
where the complaint comes
from and after gathering all facts
obtainable, if he concludes that a
jury of fair-minded men would con-
