Samuel, Senator Nugent and the entire Democratic ticket. Only a few disgruntled office seekers and their little coterie of satellites are opposing the regular Democratic nominees. As an evidence of a lack of influence of these bolters, we have only to point to the poor showing of some of them in the recent Democratic primaries in their own county. Mr. Purcell has been a citizen of this community for some eight years, during which time he has been running the Weiser Signal. While for some years Mr. Purcell has been a Republican, he has been a Progressive Republican. It is untrue that he has opposed the President in his war policy; in fact, the Signal has supported the President in the present war and has been ever loyal in rendering valuable assistance. Mr. Purcell through the Signal was one of the first newspaper men in the state to advocate the principles of the farmers' organization. He has always, in season and out of season, fought graft, the trusts and profiteering. His record along these lines and especially in opposing the power trust in this state is one of the reasons why some of these disgruntled bolters in this section are so vigorously opposing him. We are taking these statements in order that the voters of this district, Lewiston, Idaho, Oct. 30, 1918.

Day, I feel that a statement from me may not be out of  Place.
