POLITICAL CAREER ENDS iJohn St. Haines, ex-Governor, Who Boro Most of Attack Follow In Treasury Steal, Dies After Unusual Life. BOISE, Idaho, Juno 9. (Special) Conscription In Idaho -was more ot a ruecess than military officials expected- With less than a half million pop ulation this state registered close to 40.000 men. There were few violations ef the law, bnt those ,8 lackers who Sailed to give In their names will be everely punished. Rewards of 125 each for their appre hension have been posted by Governor Alexander, while Sheriffs and others are actively engaged feathering data y which convictions will be made possible. The military census ' brought out aome Interesting figrures. They proved that the United States Bureau of Cen sus waa overestimated for practically very county and that many sections f the state are rapidly settling: up 'With young men. This la particularly true of the Twin yalls country. Twin Falls was the banner county of the state. Tet Twin Vails Is one of the comparatively new counties In Idaho. Bannock County, of which. Focatello Is the county seat, also sprang sur prises. Pocatello registered more men by 800 than did Boise, the largest city In the state. 3000 Already la Service This Is believed due to the fact that Pocatello is rapidly becoming an lm- ?ortant railroad center, having the arge shops of the Oregon Short Line Railroad, where many men are em ployed. It is also the point of division of the Short Una and the Butte-Salt Lake Railroad. In Northern Idaho Nes Peroe and Latah counties held honors in total registration. Both, however, were be low the census bureau estimates. Idaho now has more than 2000 men under arms In the Second Regiment. In addition, close to 600 men have Joined tlie regular Army and the Navy. Its total registration Independent of the men now In uniform could result In 20 additional regiments of 2000 men, practically war strength, being turned out. In addition Idaho will subscribe lour millions for liberty loan bonds. The death of John M. Haines, ex Governor of this state, removes from Idaho politico an Interesting charaoter. He was one of the most silent organiz ers In the state and was averse either to publlo speaking or speaking cam paigns. Prior to his entrance into the gubernatorial race he was active In both state and Boise city politics, hav ing served as Mayor of the city for one term. Later he deolded to go Into atate politics and entered the guberna torial primary fight within the Repub lican party. Following.- a strenuous campaign he was nominated by less than 100 votes over Paul Clagstone. Is election followed, when he defeat ad. James H. Hawley. Mr. Hawley bad been Governor one term and his re flection was confidently forecasted by the Democrats. Scandal Defeats Party. Iarlng the seoond year of his term lie had troubles with other elec tive officials who sat on boards with htm. especially the Land Board. At the eloee of his administration and while the campaign was In full swing, with V Haines as a candidate for re-election. the state treasury scandal broke like a bomb. The treasury had been looted to the extent of close to $100,000. Governor Haines removed O. V. Al len, State Treasurer, from offioe and placed Axel P. Ramstedt. then Public tJtilitles Commissioner. In charge. Ranvstedt soon discovered the short age. Allen was accused and confessed. His arrest followed. Fred Coleman, his deputy, was also Implicated. He later gave himself up. Both were sen tenced to the Penitentiary. Coleman -was later pardoned. Allen is still 1 serving time. Governor Haines was J forced to bear the brunt of criticism that fell on the party and his defeat followed. , I.

In ' proportion to population and ability to absorb liberty-loan bonds, little Prlne- ville probably will be among the first in the state in the total amount con tributed. Right now the banks of Prlneville have applications for bonds totaling $50,000 and more. The seven days remaining befor the subscrip tion books close will be used by the Prlneville committee In seeing rich cat tle and sheep men who reside at a dis tance from the center of the city. Prlneville citizens are not bragging about what they are Investing with the Government. They are going about the work as quietly as their sons slipped away to enlist. Prlneville regards the buying of bonds as a duty to the Gov ernment, 'but the button of honor is sued to each applicant is worn outside, so slackers can see It. Barbers, wait ers, the blacksmith, farm hands, chauf feurs, bankers. In fact everybody in sight Is so Imbued with the Prlneville spirit that it has been no trouble for a committee consisting of Dr. J. H. Rosenberg, J. E. Wilson and H. Bald win to raise the money.v Grain Prices Enrich. Prlneville has become rich through the war prices paid for grain and meat animals, and her citizens are glad to come to the aid of the Government. Prlneville was said to be the first city visited by the liberty-bond auto touring committee where the people were found to be fully posted on the liberty loan on bond investment. While C. C. Chapman was speaking on a street corner Saturday afternoon. J. H. Templeton slipped into the First Na tional Bank and subscribed for a VoOOO bond. At Bend, last night, F. A. Free man addressed an audience which filled the high-school auditorium. There was no excitement, no shouting and little applause. The atmosphere was tense with Interest. Saturday morning the Portland. party met Bend citizens, before making the run to Prlneville, and the result was the appointment of a committee which will make a whirlwind campaign for bond subscription during the remaining six days. Employes of the Shevlln-lilxon mm and logging camp at Bend have made an enviable record through the sub scrlptlon of $6000 for bonds of small denomination. One employe mortgaged all his wages except living expenses and 75.25 a month for Incidentals. Money Lent for Hands.
