from Pocatello, Idaho.
POCATELLo, Idaho. Oct. THE opin-
ion of President Taft and his AdIninis-
tration held by the people of Idano

nunities the business men are over

Borah's Influence Is Strong.
Idaho is a Republican State, although
in some of the larger cities, as in Po-
catello, the Democrats are about equal
in number to their principal rivals.
There is a strong progressive move
Jnent among the Republicans led by
Senator Borah, but 1t is not antagonis-
tic to President Taft so far as can be-
ascertained. There is some talk favor
able to Senator La Fcl ettn as a Presi-
Dental candidate, but apprently MS
following is sma in the State besides
being scattered and not organized. This
condition is undoubtedly due in large
part to the attitude of Senator Borah'
who, although stanch progressive Is
a warm frierd OF the President.
The mass Of the people have an un-
bounded faith in Senator Borah, whose
fight against corporation greed and the
rea ctionary principles of the A drich-
Cannon Republicans met with an en-
thusiastic popular resnonse. His inttu'

To Nominate La Toilette

FAIRBURY. Neb., Oct 9.-In a speech
here w. J. Bryan urged progressive
Republicans to join the Democrats in
defeating the regular Republican ticket,

He urged the Republicans to do all in
their power to bring about the nomina-
tion of La Toilette.
Mr.. Bryan urged the Democrats to
nominate a progressive candidate for
President next year and not one con-
trolled by Wall Street. He refused to
say whom he preferred.
