Walter Eckert was up from the south
western country last Thursday and Fni-
day. Walter is a republican by birth
and training but our conclusion is that
the Democratic germ has been nocuIat-
ed into his system. Al any rate he wa.
one Of the FIRST in thi: country to make
an unique wager. He lives fourteen
miles southwest Of Aetna. He made
an agreement with one Of his neighbors
that in the event of Taft's election he
would ride the leanest mule in the coun-
try barebacked to Aetna and return, a
distance Of 28 miles. In the event of
Bryan's election the other fellow agrees
to go bareheaded year. These lines
are written before the election and we
are hoping that Walter won't have to,
ride the mule.

Once again It has been demonstrated
that the Boise Statesman doesn't have
much influence in shaping the policies of
republican state conventions. For several
months that paper has been waging bitter
war against State Treasurer Hastings, and
demanding his defeat for denomination, is
evidence that the delegates to the state
convention didn't take any stock in the
Statesman's fight against Hastings, he was
renominated by reclamation.

THEY ARE SCARED.
THE REPUBLICANS FEAR THEY
Will. BE BEATEN.
Troubles Without and Within the
Party Cause AIarn--AIany Think
Roosevelt Will DO the Nominee.

A Washington letter to the Char
leston Post says Republican leaders
Ill Congress make no pretense Of con
ccaling their anxiety over the out
come OF the national elections next
November. 1t is common thing to
hear Republican members Of the
House admit that the chances are
against the election Of Republican
majority in the House next fall
Some Republicans entertain very
grave doubts over the Presidential
election, but console themselves with
the hope that the Democrats NAV
do the wrong thing at the right
time" and thus compensate for cx-
listing disadvantages under which
the Republican, party is said to be
labOring.
1t is admitted that this is some
what OF a new role for the Rcpubli-
can party to be playing prospective
beneficiary Of the mistakes OF its op-
ponents. 1t is pointed out that
heretofore the Republicans have won
upon II policy Of action, aggression
and progress. The great victories
on the money question the tariff
question, the PHILIPPINES question
and other issues were gained in this
way.
Two main causes contribute to the
anxiety OF the Republicans at this
time. They are, first the widespread
industrial depression, the resulting
hard times, a fertile and prolific
field for Democratic growth Second,
the factional troubles within the Re
publican party in a great many
States.
Some Republicans in Congress are
rapidly growing more favorable to
a possible stampede for Roosevelt
They say that unless Secretary Taft
is nominated on the first ballot the
way will be open for contest in
the convention which will make
RoosevelCs denomination unavoid-
able. They think that conditions are
working rapidly to this end.
1t is a fact that the average run Of
that President ROoscvclt'S renomina-
ton will be the outcome Of the pres
cnt muss in which the party finds it
self. Opinions vary whether in that
event the Republicans would win or
lose. Some think that President
Roosevelt is SO strong with the COM
mon people that he would override
all opposition.
Others believe that tho third term
question could be raised against
him with effect Still Others say it
would all depend upon the Demo
cratic nominee, and on that side OF
the question as to whether BryaH
or Johnson would be the stronger
man there are as many opinions as
there are facets TO a diamond.
