Unregistered voters of the city will

the ' city council In special . session
passed a resolution asking the county
clerk to open the books for Monday,

o'clock County Clerk Fields opened the
roll once, more to the belated gratifica
tion of a large number of expectant
voters waiting in the office.
According to program the books were
to have been opened at 10:30 o'clock,
but a hitch occurred over legal tech
nicalities, and while .' the council was
hunting for City Attorney McNary to
lead out of the swamp fully 800 voters
swarmed er the clerk's office waiting

they should have do before. At last.
however, Mr. McNary vached the coun

It is a case of all or nothing. And whether the
facts will be available in the trial 6r not: whether
the testimony in support of the charges will or will
not be convincing and admissible evidence, there is
no doubt whatever but that the prosecution has a
profound belief in the truth of its charges. . ,

cannot prove that case alone. Its task
Is a much more serious and Impressive
one than that It must bring in irre
futable evidence, covering a period of
10 years; It must "expose the criminal
secrets of the mining camps of four
western states; it must kill over again
in the courtroom of Boise the dead and
forgotten men of Coeur ITAlene and
Cripple Creek and Tellurlde and Gold

It cannot stop at proving that these
three accused men are only bad char
acters or violent persona or seditious
or dangerous. It cannot atop at prov
ing that they knew of or aided or abet
ted or suggested or connived at tha
assassination of Frank Steunenberg.

To prove that one . charge It must
prove that these men formed a secret
council, whose aim was Intimidation and
sudden death;' that they planned dellb-.'
erately, not one, er two, or three,' but a
long line of consecutive murders; ar- -ranging
coldly the cutting off of men,
from life without "benefit of clergy,-,
without leave to strike a single blow la

Down the long line of dead and burled
