A county central committee was
then named, consisting of one lady
and one gentleman from each voting
precinct. The committeemen named
are H. H. Strong, Milner; H. B. Bever
lin, Murtaugh; Miss Steinoir, Mur
taugh; G. W. Crater, Hansen; Wm. J.
Calkin, Rock Creek; H. W. Turner,

Theo. T. Davis, Buhl; J. W. White,
Buhl, and C. F. Wheeler, of Filer. The
committee drew up the following plat
form, which was adopted by the mass
convention :
We, citizens of Twin Falls county,
Idaho, in mass convention assembled,
in the town of Filer, Idaho, this eighth
.day of October, 1908, believing in pure
government, the sovernity of the peo
ple and at all times patriotism and
good judgment of the people of Twin
Falls county, and nomination of can
didates in operation to the legislative
ticket of both the Republican and
Democratic parties, we hereby present
to the voters of the county the follow
ing declaration of principles for their
consideration and support:
First, We contend that in all mat
ters of local and county government,
men of principle are of more import
ance than strict party rule, and the
administration of the law more desir
able than party allegiance.
Second, We are are in favor of a
county local option law and pledge our
legislative candidates to use all hon
orable means in their power to se
cure the enactment of such a law. We
point to the record and character of
our candidates as a guarantee of the
sincerity of our purpose.
Third, Believing that the convention
method of nominating public officers
tends to corrupt practices and defeats
the will of the people, and having
faith in the wisdom and judgment of
the electorate of Idaho, we are un
qualifiedly in favor of practical direct
primary law.
Fourth, Reiterating our faith in the
good judgment of our citizens we fa
vor the election of United States sena
tors by a direct vote of the people.
Fifth, We favor a railway and ware
house commission to be elected by the
people, and also an effective anti-pass
law,—Filer Films.
NO HOWL COMING.
The statement published In the
Chronicle of this week that the Re
publicans had rented the rink for to
night and had thus forced the Demo
crats out, will scarcely hold water in
view of the fact that the Republicans
did not rent the hall until Monday of
this week. The Democrats had just
the same chance to get the hall as did
the Republicans and failed to avail
themselves of the opportunity until it
was too late. It would seem that
knowing that their speaker, Mr. Cage,
was coming, that they could have se
cured the hall long before Monday. It
is a pretty bluff to accuse the Repub
licans of taking advantage of Demo
cratic neglect.
FIRE AT MINIDOKA.
The Short Line depot at Minidoka
station was conpletely destroyed by
fire early Thursday morning. The loss
is estimated at $'4500. exclusive of the
value of a small quantity of merchan
dise in the freight house and three
box cars on a siding. All of the Unit
ed States mail matter awaiting trans
fer to the Twin Falls branch and all
the express matter was saved from
the flames. The origin of the fire is
unknown. It caught from a burning
box car on a side track, but how the
car was ignited is a mystery. The
first blaze was discovered at 1:30. A
special train consisting of an engine
and a coach was sent out of Pocatello,
with Supervisor James A. Weed of the
the brides and building departments,
Roadmaster McGonigle and Chief
Clerk R. N. Stockslager of Division
Superintendent Olmstead's office in
charge. A day coach was sent out as
a temporary depot. The building will
be rebuilt at once. Telegraphic com
munication was interrupted on ac
count of the fire for three hours.—Po
catello Tribune.
CARL'S ASPIRATIONS.
Little Carl, si years old, had been
teased a great deal by his uncle about
the vocation he would choose when he
became a man. One day he overheard
his mother and a caller talking about
a certain gentleman being a bachelor.
When the caller left, his mother no
ticed that he was unusually quiet and
seemed to be in a deep study. Finally
he said to her, "Mama, is a bachelor a
good trade?"—The September Delin
eator.

McLEOD. OF THE BOISE
SHAMROCKS, IS INDIGNANT.
The Boise Shamrocks, champions of
southern Idaho, returned home yes
terday morning from Twin Falls,
where they played a return series of
three games with the Farmers. In
two of these games the locals lost.
Members of the Shamrock band are
very indignanat over an alleged steal
of the last game of the series. With
the score in the second inning 5 to 0
in favor of Boise, Twin Falls called
out the umpire who. the Boise play
ers say, had been giving a square deal,
and put in another man.
Speaking of the trip, Manager Bobby
McLeod of the locals, said yesterday
afternoon :
"I consider the last game of the ser
ies stolen from us. In the second In
ning with the score 5 to 0 in our fa
vor, and Umpire Hays giving a square
deal to all, the Twin Falls team called
Mr. Hays to their bench and he did
not return to finish the game. Another
man was sent out to officiate, whose
decisions were the worst I have ever
seen He seemed to know the game
all right, but it looked like he was
there for the purpose of giving the
game to Twin Falls.
''He called Case out once when he
was safe a mile. 'Casey' had bunted,
and the umpire called him out on an
alleged interference with the ball
when he had not touched the sphere.
Green had to groove the ball every
time if strikes were called at all. No
corners were allowed.
"Our treatment by the Twin Falls
team was not nearly as good as the
treatment given them here, of which
they complained,
here they were accorded the best ser
vice customary in such cases. They
were kept at a first-class hotel and ate
at one of the best restaurants In the
city, no limit being placed upon the
expense of their meals. We were
taken into the rear of a billiard hall
to eat. and the food was anything but
good.
"I am sure we can beat the Twin
Falls team every jump in the road
with a fair deal from the 'Umps.' We
proved here that we were their super
iors, beating them two games out of
When they came
three. The Twin Falls bunch is not in
our class."
Manager McLeod is enthusiastic
over the work of his team at Twin
Falls. Case, Green and others of the
team did some good stick work. There
were numerous errors in the first
game, but the field was muddy and one
could hardly move without slipping
and falling. On the whole the Sham
rocks presented a strong line-up.
Wells and Bragaw each pitched ex
cellent games.—Statesman.
The above article published In the
Statesman, reflects little credit upon
the sportsmanlike character of the
Boise Shamrocks. Most teams that
have visited here have been game
enough to take their defeats in a gen
tlemanly manner and have not gone
home with the cry of being jobbed.
Boise is the first town to ever decry
Twin Falls hospitality and she is very
likely alone in that howl.
As to the charge of unfairness on
the part of the umpire the visitors did
not state the truth. Henderson, the
umpire whom they accuse of unfair
ness, umpired the morning game,
which Boise won and showed unmis
takably that he understood the game.
In this game it was true Umpire
Hayes was taken out, but upon his own
request, because of illness and not be
cause Twin Falls wished to win the
game by a foul.
The decision which the Boise man
ager kicked on when Case was put out
for Interference was such an obvious
attempt at interferance that no one
could question it. The ball was at
least ten feet within line along which
Case should have run and when he
went that ten feet out of his way in
order to prevent Murphy, the Twin
Falls pitcher, from fielding the ball he
stooped to dirty ball playing and rich
ly deserved what he got from the um
pire. On this one dirty act of one of
their players the Shamrocks base their
whole kick.
With regard to the hotel accommo
dations accorded them. It was better
than they deserved. The Times report
er was at the train when the Boise
players arrived and it was too appar
ent that two of the players were out
rageously drunk, and when taken to
the Perrine hotel, which, by the way,
is one of the best in the state, the man
ager of the hotel refused to take them
in, because of the evident condition of
the players and he could not be blam
ed in the si ghtest. If the Boise play
ers did not receive the treatment they
thought they deserved, it was due sole
ly to their cwn failure to measure up
to Jandard

GLAD HE STOPPED PRAYING.
Little Bob, who for some months had
Invariably ended his evening prayer
with "Please send me a baby brother,"
announced to his mother that he was
tired of praying for what he did not
get, and that he did not believe God
had any more little boys to send.
Not long afterward, he was carried
into his mother's room very early in
the morning to see twin boys, who had
arrived during the night. Bob looked
at the two babies critically, and then
remarked, "It's a good thing I stop
ped praying, or there'd been three of
them."—The September Delineator.
