The Custer County press republishes a test vote plan urging Idaho women to declare support or opposition to equal suffrage. The piece explains coinage terms, criticizes current money policy, and outlines the Bimetallic League’s shifting presidential aims. It notes broader West-East tensions and calls for women to express sentiment through a ballot.
The notice urges women to sign ballots to count their votes and support suffrage, stating the opportunity to express true sentiments. It notes the MESSENGER will not oppose suffrage if Idaho women want it and emphasizes signed votes are essential. Also mentions a Eugene Oregon marriage and a Chicago debate on monetary standards.
President Tracy of the Republican league declares at the Cleveland convention that free coinage is not to be endorsed by the party. The crowd erupts in applause as the issue echoes the departure of Senator Jones who left the GOP over opposition to free coinage, underscoring the silver question and branding a free coinage Republican as paradoxical.
The July planned troubles in the Copur d'Alenes proved a farce as the Governor had his soldiers ready. The Miners' Union did not threaten trouble, and the parade and exercises went smoothly, as in prior years. Mac sought personal prominence, nothing more.
