Taft and Foraker Shoulder to Shout
der for Republican Principles.

Tart ana Eorakor ohouloer to Bhoul-
der for Republican Principles.
Another Democratic hope has been
sidstracked. That WAS that United
States Senator Foraker would not sup
port the Taft candidacy. and would
thus impair his chances of carrying the
State OF Ohio.
The two big ohioans httlngly met
at ths @. A. r. reunion in Toledo. and
publicly and good-naturedly cast what
differences may have existed between
them to the air.
Mr.. Taft's contribution to the treaty
Of peace was as follows:
at Is a pleasure for me to be here
with Senator Foraker. because when
governor of Ohio be gave me my nrst
chance and took a good deal OF risk in
putting a man Of % on the bench of
the Superior Court Of Cincinnati. We
are about to enter-or rather have en-
tered-a great oratOrical campaign. 1t
~ q pleasure to think In this presence
that we are going to stand In the
campaign shoulder to shoulder, with
the full strength Of the Republican
party"
In response Senator Foraker denied
that enmity had existed between Mr..
Taft and himself, and said:
"Under the circumstances hope I
may be pardoned II I say here In this
presence-the first time have had
opportunity to say it-that there is not
row and so far as know there never
has been the slightest III feeling Of any
kind between Mr.. Taft and myself.
az there is anything have right
to claim beyond another, 1t is that I
nm Republican three hundred and sixty
1--WE days in the year. have my pref
erences sometimes as to who should
receive the houors OF the party. and
every body generally finds out what they
nrc. But I am one of those old-fash-
Toned Republicans who settle every such
question at the convention. When the
Chicago convention nominated Mr.. taft
10 he the Republican candidate for the
Presidency this year. that instant he
became my leader. He has been my
Lender ever since, and he will be my
lender until the polls close on the night
Of the election"
Mr.. Foraker followed with m esti-
mate Of Judge Taft's fitness for the
office he seeks BY repeating what Bishop
Fallows had said before him.
II want to repeat IT," he said. that
bis experience on the bench. In the
Philippines. A. Secretary of War. In
the construction Of the Panama Canal,
in all the positions he has Alled. has
been such as to qualify Mr.. Taft al
most beyond every other man for the
Presidency. We are going to elect him
and II be does not make success OF
II, II will be his own fault"
Senator Foraker followed this state
ment with q review Of his early &c
quaintance with Judge Taft, and tbs
favorable impression he then gained Of
him.

DENIES THAT BRYAN
GOULD DO no HARM
Congressman Burke Says Office of
President Is Infinitely More Pow
erful Than Congress.

Congressman Burke Says once OF
President Is Infinitely More Pow
erful Than Congress.
Congressman James Francis Burke
of Pittsburg, in an address on THE
Powers of the President" says:
The American people can make no
greater mistake than to elect Mr.
Bryan on the assumption that he can
do no harm in the face of an adverse
Senate. AS between the executive and
legislative departments of the govern
mcnt, the former has Infinitely greater
power to rule and ruin than the lat
ter.
"AIr. Taft and Mr.. Bryan are wholly
different types of men. Each pos
sesses strong individual character
which would certainly assert itself In
the White House. What either Of
these men would do during n four
years term In the White House IS
causing AS much anxiety among
thoughtful Americans as the mere
matter OF election alone.
AS n disturber of moneys the Pres
ident is without rival in the world.
Through the agencies under his con-
troll he will this year disburse n billion
dollars, showing the great things we
are doing in adding to the unparalleled
list of the worlds achievements.
"In view of the fact that during
the fifteen years OF Bryan leadership
the States controlled by his party have

According to press reports the big
boom that has been on in Rawhide the
three months just past has broken.
While legitimate mining men in Idaho
have decided dislike for the mining
booms and the trimmings that go with
them, some are now believing that the
time is not far distant when there will
be repeated in this state what has
transpired in Bullfrog, Goldield and
Rawhide only Idaho has the timber,
the water and the mineral.

Some History Of Idaho.

There is an interesting bit of history
in connection with the location of the
state capital at Boise. When Idaho
was a territory congress made Lewiston
the capital. That was then the most
populous part of the state, says the
Caldwell Tribune.
Soon, however, gold was discovered
in the Boise basin and other localities
in southern Idaho. This shifted the
center of population SO that when the
second session of the territorial legisla-
ture convened a bill was passed remov-
ing the capital to Boise. Not willing to
give it up, Nez Perez county issued a
writ of injunction against the removal
of the seat and archives from Lewiston,
and further they issued a writ to re-
strain the governor from leaving the
territory, for the only then practical
route to Boise from Lewiston was by a
detour through parts of Oregon and
Washington. The governor, however,
was fond of duck hunting, and one fine
