SAYS IDAHO REPUBLICAN
Hart of Fremont County Gives Op-
timistic Interview.

l
That Idaho will be found in the
Republican ranks, including gov
ernor, at the next election, and by
an overwhelming majority, is the
substance of statement made by
former State Senator John w.
Hart of Fremont county, at Boise
last week.
''This state is actually Republi-
can,' he said, "and if the Republi-
can party nominates a strong
ticket for the next election, there
is no question in my mind but that
the people OF the state will elect
the entire Republican ticket from
top to bottom. AS 10 Fremont
county, think that there is no
question but that it will swing
back into the ranks of the Republi-
can party. The county, as we'll as
the state, is naturally Republican,
and | am satisfied that the county
organization will put up hard and
vigorous fight to bring the county
to Borah and Republicanism.
That Senator Borah will be re-
turned to the senate upon the ex-
piration OF his present term is the
assurance given by Mr.. Hart. ~
believe that Borah is the most
popular and the strongest man in
the state" he said. "His record in
congress is good and clean, and |
feel assured that the people OF The
! state have made up their minds to
return Senator Borah to his posi-
ton in congress. What gives
greater assurance of the success Of
the Republican ticket at the next
election, is that in my mind, Sena-
tor Borah's candidacy will add
strength to the ticket"
When asked if lie thought that
! Judge Alfred Bulge OF the Fifth
judicial district would be candi-
date for the supreme bench, Mr..
Hart said:
"While it is still early to make
any predictions as to the candi-
dacy of Judge Bulge, | feel sure
that in the event that he is nomi-
mated and elected, he will add
honor, dignity and ability to the
supreme bench. The Judge is a
good, clean and capable man and
is we'll thought OF wherever known,
which is in all sections of the state.
l believe that the judge would be
strong contender all over the
state"
"Under the primary laws Of the
state" Mr.. Hart concluded, "the
people will pass upon the capabili-
ties of the various candidates, and
there is no doubt in my mind bul
what they will nj axe wise select

The Isla de Lu2on and Stranger. YES
vels of the United States navy, assign
ed TO the Louisiana naval brigade, will
arrive in Pensacola harbor this AZ
ternoon, and will probably remain for
several days, the ships being on their
summer cruise with the members OF
the brigade aboard. Captain j. w.
Bostick, veteran commander of the
brigade, is aboard the Isla de Iuzon
which IS the flagship.
The two ships sailed from New Or
leans yesterday afternoon, according
to advices received at the Pensacola
navy yard, and should make port by
this afternoon. Aboard the flagship
with the commander is Lieut.. NJ M.
Frutch, of the local navy yard, who
went to New Orleans a few days ago
and will make the trip over to watch
how the reserves handle themselves
aboard and also to witness the target
practice, in which the two ships are
to engage for several days.
The Louisiana brigade is the only
naval reserve command on the gulf
coast, and each year the members
make a cruise to Pensacola. At first
the Stranger was the vessel, but as
the brigade increased in number the
Isla de Luzon, which was rebuilt az
the Pensacola navy yard after her cap
ture from Spain, was assigned to them
and is now the flagship.
This is the first trip that the brigade
has ever taken two vessels out, land
both are manned by members of the
brigade only, navigators, engineers,
firemen and all other positions being
filed from among the membership.
