SPLIT IN IDAHO
STATE CONVENTION
Two Tickets Before
Delegates Precur-
sors Hard Fight
BIG DISPLAY OF 0RA7ORY
In Iowa---Fight on There Be-
tween "Stand Patters"
and Cummins Force.

Pocatello, Idaho, Aug. 1.-When the
Republican state convention met here
today there was every indication that
compromise ticket would be put
through and that the convention would
endorse w. e. Borah for United States
Senatorship, Frank r. Gooding for
governor and for Congressman, Burton
Lee French. Sixty delegates from
northern and eastern Idaho decided to
put an opposition ticket in the con-
vention, centering their strength on
DR.. Hugh France, of Wallace, for gov.
ernor.
cummins viii be Re.nominated.
Des Moines, Aug There is little
doubt apparently that Governor A. B.
Cummins will be re-nominated by the
Republican state convention here to-
day, but beyond this, the friends of
George ID. Perkins, or stand patters"
conceded nothing to the Cummins
forces. There is likely to be a great
display of oratory in the convention
and the ticket may not be named un.
til tonight.
Cummins' followers obtained control
of six of the eleven district caucuses
enabling them to name the commit
tees.
The committee on credentials decid-
ed to hear all contests and will not
be ready to report until late this af-
ternoon.
Convention Safeguard Against So
cialism.
II. M. ToWner was named temporary
chairman Of the convention. In his
address he declared that the Republi-
can convention was the only safeguard
against Socialism. He advocated a
protective tariff and said the Republi.
can method Of curing the trust evils
was not through the tariff.

How to Cure a

Many people suffer with an aching
head week after week. occasionally get
ting relief from SO-called headache pow

never get cured because they start wrong.
Such people should do a little common
sense thinking. Headache is simply
the result. a warning signal, OF far
more serious trouble. Usually 1t means
bad blood poisoned by an inactive or
sluggish liver Headache sufferers ara
often nervous, cross and irritable. Their
sleep is disturbed and digestion impaired.
The liver doesn't do its work right. and

Don't Keep That Boy Out of School Anv Lonoer
New ELECTRIC PRODUCTION,
Another Queer Freak Comes Over the
Wires.

Galliopolis, O, Oct. II. The
pumpkato, or the tolnakin, which
ever it may be called, is the latest
addition to the fora of Ohio.
1t IS the invention of Edward
Womeldorff, a young farmer.
Late In the season he set out some
climbing tomato plants close to a
telephone pole. Near by were
pumpkin vines. One of the
tomato plants and one of the
pumpkin vines amalgamated and
the product of the confluence
climbed the telegraph pole. The
joint vine prolonged itself over
the wires and the current of elec.
trlclty pervaded it.
Vegetables developed in the
course of time, but while each re-
tanned its outward form, each bor-
rowed the characteristics of the
other. The tomato tasted exactly
like pumpkin and the pumpkin
had the tomato favor.
The introduction of the electric
current from the telephone wires
produced a curious result. At
night the pumpkins glow with a
yellow incandescence. while the
tomatoes are of a passionate red
shade. The illumination is safe.
but penetrating. WomeIdorff
says this is a good feature, because
the vine has plenty of light to
work all night, and 50 grows twice
as fast.

GETTING after
Them HOT FOOT,
Ohio Attorneys Making 1t Warm For
the Standard.
MANY points gained,

Findlay, o., Oct. II. Many
points of vantage have been thus
far gained by the attorneys in
the Standard Oil suit. The pros
ecution, in the hearing today. is
anxious to introduce the Standard
of New jerseys charter, to show
that, after the supreme court
ousted the corporation from Ohio,
the capital stock of the directors
of that company was increased.
The prosecution contends that
the new directors of the Standard
of New Jersey are the same men
who are liquidGting trustees of the
Standard oustedssf from Ohio by the
supreme court. The attorneys
are this afternoon wrangling over
the admissibiIity of the charter as
evidence.
The court finally ruled against
the Standard, in the latters
attemp to prevent the introduc-
tion of the New Jersey charter.
This is another victory for the
prosecution.
