According to popocratic argu-
ment when the price OF wheat goes up
it is due entirely to failure of crops

That this is a Republican year
in Idaho is as near a certainty as any
thing can be that is still an undemon-
strated fact. 1t is true that fusion

should be entrusted this campaign
without dissent or criticism. Few SO
far removed from the seat of opera
ions know how to run a war
