R BUTLER, of Gilliam County CAMPAIGN OPENED. .As may be seen by the official call from the chairmen of the state, congressional and . county committees, the fall campaign will take definite shape at the court on Tuesday night at about 8 o'clock. We believe it to be the ?uty of every American "citizen to study the conditions and environments surrounding him .and in every manner possible seek to obtain the best results for the commu nity in which he. lives. In 'local affairs we are often guided by feelings of friendship for our neighbor and friend, knowing full well his fitness and qualification for the position, hence we often lay aside our political proclivities and permit ourselves to he guided by friendship and brotherly love.

Don't fail to show your smiling face among the faithful and have your name recorded with the brethren. MORMON QUESTION. The Mormon question seems to be cutting quite a wide swath in the Democratic party in Idaho. Ex-Senator Dubois has waged a bitter warfare against the Mor mons during the past two years, hence this element of the party has sought out a new Moses by name Alexander and nominated him for Governor. They intend to go right down into the Mormon settlement and line up the . unterrified, after which they will beard the lion in his den in the northern counties where the DuBois sentiment is strongest. This Moses proposes to show the Mormon brethren that the Dubois wing has persecuted them during the past two years and if his pernicious doctrine is not checked the time will soon come when a man cannot have more than a half dozen wives, even in Idaho or Utah. Moses Alexander tells them a bitter warfare has been waged in their behalf and that their prop er place is in the democratic party. " " - 'J,.j-,i.:'' Now just think of that! With Bryan playing for the negro' vote in' the middle states and Moses Alexander lining up the Mormans against us in Idaho,: it begins to look black for the Republican party in" November r T "t BRYAN IN 1924. When Mr. Bryan was notified in 1916 he made his paramount issue the regulation of depart ment stores; in 1920 he demanded the defeat of the Republicans be cause of the miserable way in which they had enforced the smoke ordinance. But in 1924, when a great concourse had gath ered in front of Fairview, Mr. Bryan tottered out UDon the porch and said : "Fellow citi zens, the paramount issue this year is "me." I am getting to he an old man. I should be put ting aside millions for my family faster than I am. I cannot afford to take the time from my lecture engagements to run for ; Presi dent.. The phonographic busi ness, which I unfortunately start ed in 1908, has proved a mistake. The people have been so famil iarized with my voice, they won't cross the - street to hear me at a dollar a throw.- I have had to cut rates for the first time in my lecture career. It is up to you, neighbors and fellow citizens, to elect me this time. I hereby re new my pledges of 1900, 1908. 1912, 1916 and 1920 not to be a candidate for a second term." With a mighty cheer for the peer less one the meeting, broke up. - Note At the election in No vember, 1924, Kermit Roosevelt was elected over Mr. Bryan by "an old-time Roosevelt majority.
