Show IDAHO DEIEGATESHIP Sfugiser the Republican candidate for i Delegate to Congress in Idaho is having F botit as rough a deal as even his most bitter enemies could wish him There ue very few offenses known to the criminal crim-inal calendar which have not been laid at his door and the most of it is the accusations arc backed by the affida V Tits of responsible men The Idaho t papers are either filled with affidavits t charging Mr Singiser with fraud I drunkenness or swindling or with long e F denials of the allegations on the part of 4 the candidate Among the many affida 7 1 Pits f that are now being published is one I charging that Singiser proposed to lease from Curtis Estes certain quartz mines it being understood that Estes and Sing I iser were to share equally the proceeds

mail lias apparently been so ovcr wljfilm6dby these exposures of his irregularities and crookedness that he f 1 1 4 has gone mad The many letters that he writes bear evidences of his desperation despera-tion and tell too plainly of the awful condition of his mind His defeat is conceded by his most enthusiastic supporters sup-porters who are now devoting themselves them-selves not to his election but to keeping down the majority against him Honest John Haileys campaign has been brave honest and manly The effort to make him shoulder shoul-der the Mormon question was defeated de-feated at the outset He went before the people with a promise to work to the best of his ability for the interests of Idaho regardless of sect or creed and as people knew that his promise meant something and was therefore unlike Sing ers they have been rallying rally-ing around him by hundreds It would have been a lasting disgrace upon Idaho to elect Singiser in the face of the ugly record that he has made for himself hence it is matter for congratulation that our neighbor Territory has fairly resolved emphatically repudiate the corruptionist next Tuesday |
