pleted and furnishing the money to
complete it was one that was clearly
established in the mind of the Presi-
dent. Whether we issue ten million
or provide for an annual issue OF
twenty million to begin with, or some
thing of that kind will depend largely
on the facts as presented at that
time.
Colonel E. R. Place was called upon
and made the following remarks:
Now l didn't come here to make a
stump speech but you said that a
certain plan should be outlined for all
the merchants to get up to tell to the
people in the east. They are all
boosters, everybody that lives in Cald-
well, but after they get out OF the
hall they forget what you said and
what good does it do? Wouldn't it
be a good idea for you to draw up
statement to show what we want
70 send out to these people and then
we will take it and make as many
copies as you want us to do and go
direct to these men with that and
send it out Immediately and get them
to work. l don't want to say they
won't do it, but will they? They
will forget. Mr.. Redway here will
be selling a stove to some one and
not think about this matter, If you
will draw up your plan and send it
to us we will print twenty thousand
copies of it. You know when you
get out and make a talk to lot OF
people they say THAT is exactly what
will do" but tomorrow they forget
all about it; you have to have some
one to boost the booster. What
Borah wants is results; it don't make
any difference how you get it; you can
boiler your heads off but that don't
do any good. He has got to have
some one to help him. You said he
put the words in the Presidents
mouth, that is what he should have
done. stood on Broadway few
days ago talking to a fellow | had
Just bought a trunk from in his store.
He stepped to the front of his store
and said whenever you are around
drop in and loaf around here" and
as he said that Senator Hepburn
came down the street. | shook hands
with him. and this fellow still stood
in the doorway talked with the
fellow a few minutes and said THAT
is our Senator from Idaho" He
said ais that Borah?'' l said mo, that
is Hepburn" He said that fellow
Borah is coming along like a two
minute horse" (Tumultuous APP
plause.) That was fellow on Broad
way that gets SIS week for selling
trunks, and if he knew who Borah is
it is about time we were waking up
to it; and if you will send us an out
line of what you want us to do, l will
help boost the booster.
Governor James H. Brady yester-
day announced his intention of call
| ing a convention of the various boards
of county commissioners of the state
to meet in Boise during the month
of November or December, for the
purpose of discussion of matters per-
