Allen Incident and Shortage In State
Funds Contribute to Campaign
and Make Its Result
Thought Doubtful.
BOISE. Idaho, Oct 81. (Special.)
Idaho stands on the brink of another
general election, the result of which
next Tuesday means probably the elec
tion f candidates from the three dom
inant parties. Republican, Democratic
and Progressive.
Reviewing the situation from an un
biased standpoint it is easy to see that
various and sundry situations have de
veloped that would tend to forecast a
mixed result. The strongest argument
for the re-election of a Republican
ticket from United States Senator down
to Constable is the apparent money
stringency and generally appreciated
shut-down In business. Republicans
guarantee to replace the empty dinner
pall with a full one. The rallying
cry is "Back to the Republican Party,"
and it is going to have some little ef
fect. Allen Incident Has Effect.
The Idaho result at the general elec
tion, however, depends more or less on
local conditions and local development.
The sensational exposures with regard
to the State Treasury will injure more
than help the Republican state ticket.
It will have little bearing on the United
States Senatorship. The Democratic
and Progressive parties have made the
most possible out of the arrest of O.
V. Allen, defaulting State Treasurer,
self-confessed embezzler of $70,000,
now serving an indeterminate term of
from five to ten years in the State
Penitentiary, and the charges on which
his ex-deputy. Fred M. Coleman, was
arrested, the alleged embezzlement of
(22,000 of the state's money and falsi
fying the books of the Treasury De
partment. Coleman Is out on a $20,000
bond.
In other words there is just a chance
that history may repeat itself. Some
years ago when the Democrats were
in control of state government and an
exposure was made of conditions at
the penitentiary, the Arney exposure
as it was called, they were ousted to
a man by the electors and Republicans
placed in charge of the state govern
ment Governor Haines' chances of defeat
are to be found in his Democratic op
ponent, Moses Alexander. Since the
day he was nominated Alexander has
been on the stump. He has attacked
state officials right and left. His
claims have been exaggerated but ef
fective. Governor Haines looks for his
strongest backing in the southeast.
He probably will get it there. If he
does and it is solid or practically so
It will be only a question of his ma
jority. McKlroy Looki to North.
Hugh E. McElroy, Progressive candi
date for Governor, will get a larger
vote Tuesday than many have been
led to believe.
The publication ot two letters writ
ten by United States Senator W. E.
Borah, of this state, to Chairman
George A Day, of the Republican state
central committee, with relation to the
Allen steal, caused comment because
of the Senator's advice to the chairman
to have Allen ousted from the ticket
prior to the time the theft was known.
The first letter was written Sep
tember 22 and the second October 5,
and were published under a Washing
ton, D. C. date line. Allen was ar
rested October 22 and convicted the
eame day.
In his first letter Senator Borah said
lie had Just been reading the land loan
charges made against Allen, and while
lie had every confidence in the state
committee and its chairman he felt he
should urge Allen to resign, and that
because he had paid back a public
school fund land loan Was no excuse
. for using "dummies" to secure It.
Senator Denounce Allen. ,
"It will not do," wrote Senator
Borah, "to say to the people of Idaho
that one who has set about deliberately
to defraud the public or has secretly
and clandestinely engineered a dis-
henest transaction may purge himself
by simply paying up when caught.""
In reply to an answer to his first let
ter, from Chairman Day, Senator Borah
wrote the second in which he expresses
his disappointment thatthe Allen mat
ter has been settled by his paying up
He says in part in this letter:
The great trust fund of the state, com
ing- from the sale of our public lands and
subject to management by Dubllc off lnlaln.
belongs to our children and our children's
Children. If we are careless or Indifferent
as to the conduct of those who have to deal
with It In its early history, how long will
It be until there Is built up around this
great trust fund a coterie of petty larceny
thieves?
So far as I am concerned X simply win
not overlook auoh matters. I shall tint
bother you or the committee again about
mis, out snail adopt my own course with
reference to dealing- with such matters. The
matter of making Mr. Coleman the ecane.
goat Is not at all palatable to me. Who Is
responsible for Mr. Coleman and the post
tion which he held? The people who were
responsible for him were perfectly familiar
witn mr. uoieman ana his history.
j. ue inree-cornerea senatorial race
has not changed. It Is between United
btates Senator James H. Brady. Re
publican: James H. Hawley, Democrat,
and Paul Clagstone, Progressive.
Congressman Addison T. Smith and
Robert M. McCracken. Republicans,
probably will be elected to the lower
House.
With the exception of State Treas
urer there are no other serious parti
san conflicts. John Eagleson. Repub
lican candidate substituted for Allen,
will go before the voters with his name
on a sticker. His opponents are L. M.
Capps, Democrat, and C. O. Broxon,
Progressive.
The non-partisan race for Justice of
the Supreme Court is between Edward
H. Walters. Southern Idaho candidate,
and William M. Morgan, Northern
Idaho aspirant.

turned from Washington, D. C. with
a tentative draft of agreement between
the state and Federal Government
through which the State of Washington
will gain approximately 600,000 acres,
"lifted" from the National forests. In
exchange for school sections scattered
tnrougn the forests.
The agreement in the main follows
the terms of the contract through
which Idaho two years ago made a
similar exchange, except that Wash
ington is to oo compensated also for
tanas lost tbrough homestead settle
ment prior to survey and for losses
tnrougn tne existence of fractional
school sections.
The state and. Federal Government
are to share equally in the expense of
selection, and passage of an appropria
tion for this purpose by congress will
be necessary before work can be start
ed. The state alreadv has a funH r
$30,000 available to meet Its share of
expense.

GLUTEN METHOD FOUND
FrLLMAN CHEMIST DISCOVERS
WAV TO SEPARATE PROTEIN.
Process Considered Valuable to Wheat
Industry and Likely to Caanae
Fanning in Belt.
PULLMAN, "Wash., Oct. 31. (Spe
cial.) A new method of separating
wheat gluten from ' flour or wheat,
which does not "break down" the glu
ten, thus permitting its reincorpora
tion In other flour weak in gluten and
In various food products where high
gluten, or "protein," is desired, is a re
cent discovery Dy the State College of
Washington.
The method is due directly to the en
ergy and persistence of George A.
Olson, chemist of the experiment sta
tion, in whose laboratory and under
whose direction the triumph was
achieved.
The process -does not differ greatly
from other processes for isolating
gluten from wheat flour. It Is in the
preparation of the gluten after its sep
aration that the discovery was made.
All formerly used processes act upon
the isolated gluten- in such a way that
after It has been dried, pulverized and
then reincorporated with water It
breaks down; that la. It crumbles
apart.
"What actually will happen." said
Mr. Olson, "is that many factories now
making an imperfectly prepared glu
ten as a by-product of starch manu
facturing by the increased demand
will be compelled to turn more and
more to gluten till starch will be the
by-product. ,
"With the rise of gluten factories
wheat of high gluten will go to the
manufacturers of prepared . gluten, of
which here ought to be. and likely
will be, several In the. Northwestern
states. With the Increased demand for
high gluten wheat farmers will set
about to produce it, and, since It takes
good farming to produce high gluten
wheat, there is likely to be a radical
change from slovenly to good wheat
farming In some sections of our. coun
try." He showed how In combination with
various cereal meals and vegetable
products meat substitutes running al
most as high in pure protein as does
lean beefsteak can be made.
