REPUBLICANS GAINING GRoUNI,

e All is activity at the capital city as
the day Of election approaches. The
4 campaign has been hot one thus
!, far and the people have taken an
active interest IN the issues. At Re-
publican headquarters, the feeling
,is that the entire Republican ticket
will be reelected with much larger
majority than ever before in the his
tory of the, state. This sentiment
has been crystallized by the fact that
from every corner of the state, re-
ports have been received to the eff
feet that Governor Brady will be
Continued in Office and with him will
the rest of the ticket be elected.
=: Even In localities where the Demo.
Gratis have claimed as their strong
holds, representative men visitors in
the capital city. report to be very
strong for the present administra.
ton. They claim that Governor Bra.
dy has made an excellent executive;
has fulfilled every party pledge and
has at all times worked in the inter
ests of the people in the state. His
attitude on matters which pertain ia
the general welfare OF the people OF
the north as well as the south, has
at all times been one of great
personal interest, these men say and
in the following terse statements OF
these men, they all predict success
for the party at the general election.
F. M. Snyder, cashier of the Hey
burn State bank at Hepburn, said
this week. Lincoln county will be
solid for Brady and the rest of the
ticket. We are considered little
reactionary in our section, but we
always line up when 1t comes to
election time. Our county has al
ways rolled up big Republican ma
jorities and this year it will be no
exception to the rule"
That Fremont County will be safe
for the present incumbent is the
opinion of J. O. Webster. of Grant,

right to participate in government
imposes responsibilities which areX
neglected only to the detriment of So
ciety and the lowering of civic and So
cial standards. Failure to discharge
these obligations is responsible or all
the bad government and 50 per cent
of the graft that exists, for the I'M
wholesome conditions, and for the
failure to enforce laws made for the
protection of the public and the per-
petuation of their liberties and insti-
tutions. Indifference is the uncharted
rock which menaces the Ship of State.
People are not lacking in intelligence
nor patriotism. They have the ability
and the power to correct the evils
that exist, but are careless in the ex-
ercise of their rights, even when self
interest and duty bid them to do so.
They are too busy with the everyday
affairs of life making money to
safeguard the morals of their chill
dren or suppress evils which double
their taxes. Some of them are citi-
zens only in name, because they fail
to exercise the most sacred right of
citizenship, that of having part In
shaping government and being re-
sponsible for a proportionate share of
It. wiz ~ah =

roads, and there is choice between
the men upon whom the securing of
the same will devolve. They want
a capable and economical administra-
ton of country AFFAIRS, and upon the
officers chosen will depend the kind
of service rendered. They want GER

those who represent them there de-

LIQUOR INTERESTS IN POLITICS
Evening Capital News

Evening Capital News
So far as their right" to do SO is
concerned, no one questions it, but
as matter of good government, who
wants the politics of Idaho dominated
by Grunbaum and Lansdon? They
both believed they could dominate
both the republican and democratic
parties by naming the candidates and
the leaders for both and by writing
both Platforms. They failed in get
ting their platform adopted by the
republicans, they failed in getting
the head of that ticket, and they fail
ed in getting the campaign managers
for that party.
They did succeed on all these
points on the democratic side. Is
it surprising to the people of the
state who do not relish the idea of
having public affairs conducted from
the confines of the saloon or from
the shop Of the liquor wholesaler,
that Grunbaum and Lansdon should
both now be hearty and enthusiastic
supporters of the head of the demo-
cratic ticket, of its platform and Of
it's campaign management?
Grunbaum and Lansdon have a
perfect right to change their political
affiliations with each campaign, II
they choose; they also have q right
to dominate the politics of the demo-
cratic party and Of the republican
party as well--if they can. The thing
for the peope to decide is not wheth-
er these men have the right to do this
but do the people want them to do
iit? f..
That is the point that is to be set
tied by this campaign and It is the
only real, vital point at issue. 1t is
one that must be met before other
issues in this state can be settled.
In order to break the dominion of
these men it has become necessary to
ask the privilege of permitting the
people to say what they wish on
question regarded by chem as import
ant. To Grunbaum and Lansdon such
thing is intolerable. To the peo-
pie of the state generally, however,
it looks no more than reasonable to
let the people say what they want.
When the question at issue comes
before the people different aspect
will be presented Now the question
is, "Shall the people have the right
to say what they want?" The ques-
ton then will be, "Shall we abolish
the saloon or shall we leave 1t to
the counties?"

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE
Lewiston Evening Teller

Lewiston Evening Teller
Burton l.. French, republican can
didate for the national house of re-
representatives., is making his position
very clear in all the addresses he has
delivered in the campaign. He is
quoted by one of the Mountain Home
papers as saying in his speech at that
place: II am progressive, and stand
for the issues that the progressive
legislators fought for and are fighting
for-all the progressive measures
that Mr.. Roosevelt started under his
administration and is today adyocat-
ing"
That is pretty good platform in
itself, it reflects the views of very.
great majority of the republicans Of
this state. Indeed 1t harmonizes with
the opinions of a vast majority of all
members of both parties. N
The stand Mr.. French has taken Is
an assurance to the people of Idaho
that this state will not be misrepre-
sented on any fundamental principle
II he be returned to the national Leg
islative body He Is not what Is CAL
led an insurgent; he is not working
outside of party lines, nor is there
anything in his attitude to indicate
that he would ever take position
that would jeopardize the real inter-
ests of the party. @
Mr. French, in that same speech at
Mountain Home, spoke very clearly,
aud emphatically on the subject Of
the interstate commerce commission.
He referred to the fact that the COM
mission had been authorized to hx
rates; but called attention to the
further fact that until 1t had been au-
thorized to determine the physical
valuation of the railway lines it
would be difficult for 1t to arrive at
any just basis upon which rates could
be fixed. h, l.
1t was further stated by Mr.. French
that he endorses the views of those
members of congress who believe In
taking the great power out of the
hands of the speaker that he has en-
joyed through his absolute authority
in the appointment Of committees.
That is a point upon which the peo-
pie of the state, irrespective of party,
will support Mr.. French.
The position taken by Mr.. French
on all questions is so satisfactory that
we feel that he will secure the en-
tire republican vote and also attract
a very considerable portion of the 0p.
position party. That is because he
represents the views of the people of
the state as whole; because he is in
accord with progressive tendencies,
and because he is willing to take a
stand in support of those things
which progressive republicans and
progressive democrats alike demand.

and that is why 1t Is urging the peo-
PIE to meet the issue squarely and
to elect Brady for governor and Bad

one is a republican and the other a
democrat, but because both are tar

TEMPERANCE PEOPLE OF BOISE
UNITED FOR BRADY
Boise, Idaho, Nov. 2, 1910.

Boise, Idaho, Nov. 2, 1910.
The trend of political development
the past week has thrown the demo-
cratic state headquarters into con-
sternation. 1t has developed. that
there is such determined opposi-
ton to Mr.. Hawley among democrats
of church affiliation in Boise and
other sections of Ada county as to
make 1t very doubtful whether he
will carry anything like respectable
vote, much less carry the county.
These democrats insist that because
of his position on the liquor ques-
ton there is moral unfitness upon
upon his part for the governorship.
They point to the fact that support
ing Mr.. Hawley would be proclaiming
to the world that, as democrats, they
are incapacitateed to make distinc-
ton between right and wrong, honor
I and dishonor, sobriety and intemper-
ance and that they make no demand
that their candidate be a man who
stands for moral advancement and
good citizenship, and that all the fit-
ness required BY them of their can
didate is that he call himself a dem
ocrat.' They have made 1t plain
that they will not be placed in such
an attitude. that they are not to be
coerced and that they will not ally
themselves with Grunbaum, the liqu-
or dealer of Boise, and Bob Hayes,
the brewer of Pocatello, In working
for the election of any official. The
dispatch from Pocatello to the effect
that last Sunday Mr.. Hawley was
closeted with Bob Hayes, the Poca-
tello brewer, has not served to oil
the troubled waters. They recognize
that despite all Mr.. Hawley's efforts
to cloud the issue, the fight is strict
ly wet" and dry" fight.
The liquor interests and their rep
resentatives in this city no longer en-
deavor to conceal the fact that the
contest between Governor Brady and
Mr.. Hawley is to be fought out on
stritcly wet" and dry lines. That
that has been their real purpose for
a long while is evidenced by the fol-
lowing statement to st. Louis people
as early as last spring given out by
Leo F. Grunbaum, the wholesale
liquor dealer of this city, who,
though a republican himself, is sup
porting Mr.. Hawley.
II want to say for your benefit
that the liquor interests have as
much right in politics as yourself,
You can take it from me that the
liquor interests have been forced into
politics, and they are there to remain.
You may mark that. Did you note
the recent (primary) election in Tex
as, Illinois and Nebraska? And /
will kindly ask you to watch the re-
suits in Missouri during the election
next month. Believe me when l say
the liquor interests absolutely refuse
to. lay down their weapon until the
long-haired prohibitionist has been
made to crawl into his hole and re-
main there. The word has
been passed down the line, not only
in one but in every state in the union,
and for your Information want to
say that the liquor interests DO NOT
intend to remain out of politics and
they furthermore intend to, fight to
a finish" 4,

Is also to suffer for Its tenerity.
This says the Portland paper, lis
one of the methods which the liquor
interests have always employed to
beat down opposition. They talk of
fairness and of personal liberty, but
believe only in that stamp of person.
al liberty which will permit them to
do as they please. So far as The
Telegram Is concerned, 1t has not en-
joyed their particular good will for
several years. 1t has lost some pat
ronage which was directly traceable
to their efforts. But it Is quite ready
to meet even this issue as soon as 1t
is presented"
That is the only way to fight those
people, and that is to fight them hard
and fight them straight from the
shoulder. That is the way Bailey
has done.
"a little while back people shiver-
ed when the liquor men frowned,"
says the Telegram again, "but they
are beginning to forget the art OF
shivering. The present contest is not
fight between the liquor, men and
the cranky prohibitionists, but life
and death struggle between decency
and indecency."
That is why the Capital News has
the utmost confidence in the outcome

WHO WILL BE BEATEN?

1t is said that the "Wets" will all
vote at the coming election, and that
the "Drys' will not be particular to
vote. In that event they will be
beautifully and fairly beaten and can

SUCH A TIME.

That you can have as good a time
close at home as you can far away was
demonstrated by the picnic of the
young peoples classes of the First
Presbyterian church last evening. The
party proceeded to a spot chosen in
the new subdivision of the Gary Land
company less than 200 yards from Fill
more street, where several large oak
trees and any number of saplings
made the spot as woody in the gloom
as though it were many miles away
from civilization. A huge fire had been
prepared and the match applied upon
the arrival of the party.
Japanese lanterns were strung about
the trees and tied to the lower branches
and made an exceedingly pretty APP
parance. The fire blazed to a height
that made 1t observable to late corners,
of whom there were many. After it
had burned down, somewhat toasting
forks of long branches were fashion
ed and boys and girls treated by their
friends to the delicious opportunity of
taking marshmallow red-hot from the
end of the improvised forks with one 5
lips. Weiners, vulgarly termed hot
dogs too, were in evidence Some
of these were toasted whole but the
favorite and most popular method was
that of splitting the weiner and lay
ing il on red hot pieces of wood Given
a weiner cooked thus, just a dash OF
mustard, a slice of bread and darkness
enough to prevent one seeing the dust
and ashes upon the weiner, and what
more could one ask from the epicurean
standpoint. A number of round games
were played and the ample lunches
brought by the girls discussed in
groups. The young people all mixed
we'll and much fun was obtained from
the task of getting home through the
woods in the darkness
