Then the restaurant building will be occupied by three patriotic young women who have ■willingly lent their lords to help the holiest cause that mortal ever lost or gained. Secretary of State Daugherty and Mrs. Daugherty were this week's vis itors with Me. and Mrs. Hal Cornell. Three car loads of potatoes have been shipped this week to Oklahoma.

Webb, the well known Mann Creek farmer and former member of the Idaho legislature, is out in an open honorable They set • own principles and gave their •on oui letter taking issue with the Non-Par tisan league and advising his fellow farmers to hive nothing to do with it. His letter is addressed to the "Loyal Democrats of Idaho," and is as follows: "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 with as loyal a man as lived and fol lowed up with a perfectly and loyal set of candidates, before the people tl eii on their own platform reason for llieir course. own, but ask the Democrats to help The This was fair, Now, we democrats have been unhorsed by everything but Democrats. A lot of Socialists, pro-Germans, I. W. W.'s and Republicans who Democrats. They know they could not win office on a straight ticket of their er the other faction. say they are them put them in possession of the beloved state of gnvernnient of our Ida ho. "Some of their leaders are disloyal Socialists, I. W. VYVs anti pro-Germans, >i rejected Republic;!'is. Others are suspected of disloyalty. None of the candidates should be called true Demociats. No true, straight and loyal Democrat should be found helping put them ir. possession of our government. "In other states the Non-Partisans have unhorsed the Republicans in a similar wav, saying they are Republi Non - Pa rtisan cans.. goes are hy pocrites, deceiving the people. "Take for example our Non-Partisan candidate for congfess, L. 1. Purcell. Ht is a life-long Republican who can not win on his own ticket, and aft helping make the Republican state platform this year he says he is a Democrat. Rhades of Ananias, such hypocrisy. Honor is a precious jewel, but do you Democrats think It rests on • of L. I. Purcell? Well, I don't eithter. Wouldn't it turn your stom achs to have to say Hon. L. I. Purcell? The same of Jeppesen, Samuels, et al. They were put on the Democratic tick et by everything but Democrats. Now what shall we do? What ought we to Do we Democrats owe the Bol the hi do? sheviks our votes? Are we going to give our state over to hypocrites and disloyalists? That would make a party to the act, disloyalists ourselves. I prefer to vote for straight, honorable Republicans a straight, honorable tick et. We recommend the same course to a!1 true and loyal Democrats. Now you farmers and townspeople who are loyal at heart, do not be farther de ceived. Germany first wants to de ceive the world, then ruin it. Don't help any of their side-shows. "Be true, loyal citizens now and you will never regret it. "M. N. WEBB." 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. Scotch the snake of Socialism.—New Freedom. 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 : "Whereas. *t is the sense of the peo ple in control of the present nominees of the Republican party that the state should own the business in the state of North Dakota: and, Whereas, we believe in equality and justice: Be it resolved that our state committeeman I be instructed to have placed in the platform of the Republican party and nominees for the legislature for the Forty-ninth legislative district be in structed to advocate the state owner ship of farm lands, horses, c.ntt'e and machinery and that the same be ac three years immediately preceding the war. quired on the basis of value for the Now you farmers of Lincoln county read that and stop to consider it before you vote this fall.

HAVE YOU SOLD YOUR HA}'? R. E. Shepherd, Manager of North Side Tract, states that hay in North Idaho is selling for $34 per ton. Live stock owners are shipping cattle out on account of lack of feed. Mass meeting of farmers to discuss the situ ation has been called for Saturday, October 26, 1918, at 2 p. m. on the court house lawn at Shoshone. It is expected to petition Director Gerenal McAdoo to grant special freight rates to relieve the situation in North Idaho, Harvey Allred has been invited to speak. Very truly yours, County Agricultural Agent.

War Work for Women. The County Chairman of the Wom en's Committee of National Defense, has a book on occupations for women in war work. Many young women have found just what they wanted by eonsulting its pages, nyone wishing adviee please consult the chairman. Mrs. Fred W. Gooding. A plan is on foot whereby every one will be asked to sing the same songs at the same time on Thanksgiving morning throughout the* country. UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN. November 11 to 18 there will be con ducted what is to be known as the Un. ited War Work Campaign for the pur pose of raising the sum of one hun died sev enty million five hundred thou sand dollars for the use of the seven great organizations working with our soldiers and our allies for the relief of suffering and providing comforts and necessities which are obtainable in no There is no longer any ne- [ other way. cessity of arguing with the American people about the necessty and benefits of ths work or that through these or ganizations alone are we assured of the most economical and honest dis tribution and use of our mo ley for its legitimate PAY. you are asked to pay a just debt you owe to those who are fighting your bat tles. DON'T TALK. purpose. You are not asked to GIVE; 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 Liberty and Righteousness shall not perish form the earth. appeal j I ballot, that, I NO REAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET. It should be clear to the voter this fall in looking over his should he be a Democrat, he has no state Democratic ticket to vote for. True, on the ballot will appear a list of candidates with the word "Demo cratic'' after each of the individuals masquerading under the Democratic title, but this is the list framed by the | Non-Partisan league. The word Non I Partis ticket. It must be thoroughly understood i that the Non-Partisan went into the Democratic primary and stole the or I ganizatfon and the name, and the Non Partisan candidates, some of whom are | renegade Republicans and some of the camouflage of "Democratic," so i really no Democratic state ticket, and most Lemocratic party workers understand this, though it [may not occur to the average individual when he looks at his ballot. As Fred Floed has very truthfully "The Democrats have no ticket itself does not appear ofi the '' bom : orialists, are bunched under (said: in the field this year," the name having been filched from the regular partisans, The Republican and Socialist tickets on the ballot are the only two sailing under their own colors, and there is nothing bogus about either of them, But the so-called Democratic ticket is not a Democratic ticket, and every where the word occurs after a na'me on ( . I the state ticket it covers a Non-P tisan. The ballot is of much different form j this election and the candidates must ! be voted for separately, and it will re quire much more time to cast a ballot than formerly. But unless you con done the offense of the Non-Partisans in raping the Democratic party steer clear of every name on the state ticket that bears the title "Democratic," for it is not of that party, and is not en dorsed by that party. - Addison T Smith of Twin Falls, has been renominated for c> 'the primaries without opposition, has actively supported the government's [plans for preparedness and sonsistenl ly sustained the president in all his recommendations for the enactment of emergency legislation and ample propriations for the conduct of the He is the author of a bill which has at - traded the attention of the leaders of both branches of congress and is CONGRESSMAN SMITH'S RECORD. vho gresa in ap v'ir. strongly recommended by Secretary' for enactment next session, to provide farms for returning soldiers on re claimed arid, swamp and cut-over lands, under the provision of which soldiers and sailors will have the pre ference right of employment and entry. Congressman Smith has been active In support of prohibition legislation, woman's suffrage, rural credits, the fix ing of a price for wheat, which will en courage ample production and give the farmers a fair profit. He has also ad vocated legislation to regulate the price of farm machinery, vehicles, harness and other commodities farmers have to buy. He has specialized on the an actment of legislation for the benefit of settlers on the public land and has sev eral law's of this character to his cred it. He initiated and carried to cessful conclusion legislation providing for the government to take over the King Hill Irrigation Project, for which $600,000 was appropriated, saving to the settlers their homes and earnings of years. A bill which he introduced over a year ago has been made the basis of a systematic plan, strongly endorsed by the administration, to en courage private capital to invest in ir rigation bonds where the projects are constructed by the Reclamation serv ice. under which the Bruneau, North Side-Minidoka, Fort Hall and other proposed .irrigation projects will be constructed. His prompt and intelli gent attention to the requests of his constituents has attracted to him a large personal following regardless of politics, who are interested in his re election. 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, I which means Townley and Le Seuer. j Such a state of affairs would mean | Idaho's public affairs run from the out j s ' p rabid Socialists, by men who J se t U P a Bolshevikl government " n Idaho. We have ever >' confidence that the Io >' aI citizPns of .
