STATE CHAIRMAN
MAKES FORECAST. OF NEXT
TUESDAYS RESULto

That the republican ticket will
carry the state by a majority of 1O.-
600 is the substance of the forecast
given out by State Chairman Charles
l.. Heitman. In speaking of the fore
cast Mr.. Heitman said that it was
very conservative in his opinion as
great many of the counties which
he had enumerated gave Brady a
greater majority in 1908 than ne
claims for the present election, and
he knew of no reason why they would
not return a greater majority for the
present executive at his election.
He said that in making up the fore

tire state ticket, as great or greater
than two years ago.
There are no indications of lau1-
slide towards democracy in any co l-
ty and Custer and Owyhee counties
are the only ones conceded to az
democrats. but the majorities which
will be recorded for that party will
probably be very small, according 90
Chairman Heitman.
This estimate was compiled af-s~
receiving very minute information
and comprehensive reports from the
county chairman, state committee
men, speakers and other we'll inforn-
ed republicans, together with the poll
lists and an average of the estimates
was calculated in order that the fore
cast might be as nearly correct as
possible. If these estimates are veri-
fed by the returns the legislature Will
be safely republican.
The forecast as given out by Chair
man Heitman is a follows:
The following counties he claims
for Governor Brady with the major
ities in each county:

Distrust of Hawley occasioned by
his notorious lack of business sense
displayed when Mayor of Boise when
he left deficit of $4,000 is throw
ing the support Of the business men
of Boise to Brady.
TO add to the discontinue of the
democrats, it was yesterday brought
out by c. S. Polk, who is campaign
ing Ada county, that Jos. Pence, may

ley, and Frank B. Kinyon, city At
torney of Boise and secretary of the
democratic state central committee,
and Sheriff Bennett, a democrat, have
permitted six Spaniards, twelve Chi
namen and nine women of i'll fame to
sell liquor without a city or county
license.
Judge Polk bitterly excoriates Haw-
ley's objections to the submission o.
temperance legislation to the people
on the ground that it is un-Ameri-
can and asks him if those who are
most opposed to the submission OF
this plank are the highest examples,

the loan was made at $500 per acre.
Democratic charges against Gov
ernor Brady's administration in the
handling of Carey act lands and land
board matters have entirely exploded
by comparison of the records of the
two parties and the indignant pro-
tests of the settlers on Carey act
tracts refuting these false statements.
AS the campaign draws to a close.
the democratiic organization having
been thoroughly discredited in all its
charges. is resorting to vicious AMI
INSCRIPTIONS personal attacks on the
republican nominees. Fortunately
its tactics are becoming so well un-
derstood because of their blackguar6-
ism and remoteness from any sem
blance to either truth or respectable
ity, that their power to injure has
been destroyed.
No little significance is attached
here to the fact that while the dem
ocratic speakers are attacking Gov
ernor Brady, they do not dare 10

of iniuring their local candidates in

In addition to this. the democrat
il organization has been thrown inso
a state of CONSERVATION by reoprts f

Reports of harmonious conditions

the state are confirmed by the ac-
tion Of Paul Clagstone, speaker of

In contrast to the apparent help

with the situation and stem the tide

quarters, which will be maintained
until the close of the campaign. New
speakers have been placed in the

BOY BURGLARS.
One Boy "Squeals" on Friend and
Both are Placed Under Arrest for
Breaks in Shepard Store.

Two boy burglars were arrested by
the police Tuesday on suspicion Of
being implicated in the break at the
Z. S. Shepard store several weeks
ago when a large amount of stock
was taken in the way of sporting
goods and revolvers. The boys are
Ernest Raymo and John Gallery, both
about 16 years of age.
The police first got their clew
through Mr. Shepard, who had a GUS
toner come to him with a revolver
which looked very much like one
which he formerly had in stock but
which disappeared on the night of
the robbery. He communicated his
suspicion to the police and an inves-
tigation was made with the result
that it was learned from the customer
that the Raymo boy owned the gun.
Officer earle went in search of
Raymo yesterday morning and found
him working on farm in Berlin and

was made of the youngsters room and
two revolyers, two hunting kniXes and

by Allen Mcclellan of Graniteville,
who had his gun at the Shepard
store for repairs when the break oc..

When the boy was taken to this
city he admitted his theft after some
questioning and implicated his
friend, John Gallery also of Berlin in
the crime. A warrant was sworn out
for the latter and he was arrested
late in the afternoon by Officer

Vermont Mountain Peaks.

Several interested newspaper men
at the recent press outing inquired
with some curiosity regarding the
comparative heights of Killington
and Camels Hump. The Woodstock
Age gives once more the comparative
heights of several Vermont noun
tains: Mansfield, 1854 feet; Killing
ton. 4241 feet; Camels Hump, 1888
feet; Lincoln, 407S feet; Jay Peak.
4O1S feet; Pico, 1867 feet; Little Kill
lington, 1851 feet; Mendon Peak,
1887 feet; Equinox, 3S16 feet; Hay
stack, Wilmington, 3464 feet; Green
Peak, Dorset, 3436 feet; Ascutney,
1920 feet Bear Mountain, Sandgate,
1920 feet. Blue Ridge, Mendon, 1898
feet. The cold comparison of fig
ures, therefore, easily places Rut-
land and vicinity in the lead as far
as lofty and imposing peaks are con-
cerned. In fact, with the single eX-
ception of Mansfield, Killington over
tops them all, and, from its isolated
cone, gives a view that surpasses
anything of its kind in the State. if
not in New England.
