King is domiciled at the same place.

■willingly lent their lords to help the
holiest cause that mortal ever lost or
gained.

Mrs. Daugherty were this week's vis

beiqg shipped give to Dietrich an air of
business, notwithstanding the general
cessation of many kinds of work during
the epidemic.

letter taking issue with the Non-Par

farmers to hive nothing to do with it.
His letter is addressed to the "Loyal

"Democrats, loyalty is one of the
great virtues, and is in great demand
at the present time. He who is dis
loyal at this time will not live long
enough to get rid of the stain.
"We are to be put to the test as
never before. Will. we as a party
prrve true? I hope we will, and you
will. Remember the wilful twelve.
Don't be disloyal.
"'In 1912 when the Republican party
were dissatisfied with a steamroller
ticket, they put out another ticket and
called it Progressive. They headed it

GOODING FIGHTING FOR
THE HONOR OF IDAHO
Frank R. Gooding is making the fight
in Idaho that the daily press of the
state should have made many months
ago.
He is making the fight in Idaho that
the St. Paul Dispatch and other loyal
papersmade in Minnesota, saving the
honor and protecting the good name of
that state.
He is making the fight in Idaho that
the Oregonian made in Oregon and that
the Butte Minor made in Mr
both these states have been saved from
the red hand of state Socialism.
He is making the fight for the honor
of Idaho, and every loyal red-blooded
man and woman in the state should
enlist under the standard he has raised.
The fight is on; there are but two
sides. Let every man do his duty.

THE MASK OFF.
j
j The grinning skeleton of anarchy in
its most violent form is always found
whenever the mask of patriotism is
torn off the Non-Partisan leaders. Here
in Idaho they pose as democrats. In
North Dakota they stole the organiza
tion of the Republican party and use
it in the same manner as they use the
Democratic party in Idaho.
When Ray McKaig came to Idaho
last winter he stated that he was at
that time state secretary of the Repub
lican party in North Dakota. Here is
a resolution recently passed by the
Non-Partisan organizations in Het
tinger and Adams counties, North Da
kota :

THE WELFARE CAMPAIGN.
Seven welfare organizations serving i
American and allied soldiers at home |
and overseas have combined, at the ;
request of President Wilson, in a drive
for war funds duringthe week of No
vember 11 to 18.
These organizations are the Young I
Men's Christian Association, National j
Catholic War Council (includes the |
Knights of Columbus, American library
Community
Service. Jewish Welfare Board and the
Association, War Camp
Salvation Army.
A nation-wide campaign to raise
$170,500,000 will be carried on. Eight
western states together with Alaska,
and Hawaii have been asked to raise
five per cent of this amount or $8,525,
000. This is apportioned as follows:
California $4,688,750; Washington $1,
278,750; Oregon, $767,250; Montana
$511,500; Idaho $426,250; Utah $341,000;
Wyoming $196,075; Nevada $85,250;
Hawaii $213,125; Alaska $17,050.
The.Idaho campaign is under the
general direction of C. A. Barton,
chairman, Richard E. Randall, cam
paign director, and a state executive
committee, consisting of representative
members from each organization par
ticipating.
Plans for the campaign are being
rapidly worked out and the most efifec
tive combination of workers ever un
ited in a single effort in Idaho is being
built up.
The slogan of the workers in the
campaign will be: "Every person in
Idaho seen and given an -opportunity
to give!"
The slogan for the state: "All il
needed!"
Every cent of the great national fund
of $170,000,000 will be prorated among
the affiliated organizations and used in
war work. Every cent of Idaho's $126,
250 contribution will be used for the
welfare and to sustain the morale of
American and allied soldiers and sail
ors.
State, county and local committees
have been formed and the campaign
will be carried to every home in Idaho.
The response of the nation to this
rill prove the soul of America
and her loyalty to her fighting forces:
the response of Idaho and he. - gener
osity will be a tribute of love from the
hearts of her people to her bovs and
all the boys offering their lives that

SHALL IDAHO BE GOVERNED
FROM NORTH DAKOTA?
If the state ticket, headed by Samuels
for governor, and nominated by the
Non-Partisan league, not by Demo
crats, shall be elected Idaho's state af
fairs will be run from North Dakota
by Townley and Arthur Le Seuer.
Townley is the absolute boss of the
Nor.-Partisan league, and Le Seuer, the
I. W. W. leader and Socialist and dis
loyalist, is the pmcipal adviser and
executive secretary of the league. In
North Dakota every official act is di
rected by Townley and Le Seuer. The
state officials there are mere dum
mies.
j
In Idaho the hand-picked candidates
I of the league are also to be mere dum
I * mies if the Non-Partisan league wins
in the November election. Like every
legislative candidate of the Non-Par -
j tisan league, they are pledged to take
no action without the approval of the
executive committee of the league,
