JOHN M. HAMS
NOMINATION ASSURED

From over the entire state of Idaho
comes endorsements Of the candidacy
OF John M. Haines for the nomination
on the Republican ticket to the office
of governor. Mr.. Haines, though not
a politician in any sense Of the word
has through q courteous, business like
candidacy, made many warm friends.
Developments Of the last two weeks
clearly indicate that the sentiment Of
the Morrison supporters is turning
from that candidate to Mr.. Haines,
and In a great many cases they are
openly declaring their reasons for SO
doing. Prominent businesss men all
over the state are standing solidly for
Haines, and his nomination Is assured.
The sentiment prevails that the
state of Idaho is sorely in need Of 4
business administration, one devoid Of
show, and one which will be handled
by a leader whose entire training in
life has been along that line, rather
than along political lines, and in
John M. Haines the business interests
of the state have found that man.
The Democrats are anxious to have
the Republicans nominate John T.
Morrison, thinking they can easily de-
feat him with Governor Hawley, which
is absolutely possible, because of the
two men, it is generally conceded that
Hawley would be a better man than
Morrison in any capacity.
It Is thought that large number Of
Democrats will vote for Morrison in
the primaries, in order to insure his
nomination, thus making it an easy
victory for Hawley If their assistance
is instrumental in nominationing Nor
ison. If the voters of Idaho do not
support Mr.. Haines in the coming pri-
maries, they are making the mistake
which means the retarding Of the de-
velopment of the entire commonwealth
for there are momentous questions com
ing up in regard to the disposition OF
our state lands, irrigation propositions
over which the governor as a member
Of the state land board yields a. great
influence, and 1t behooves the people
of the state to consider carefully, and
make their choice a man Of business
acumen, and that man is to be found
in the person Of John M. Haines.

my service to the party organization.

Must Vote For the
Convention Nominee

Washington, July 1S-President Taft
will fight Colonel Roosevelt and lead
ers Of the third party movement. for
every presidential elector who runs on
a Republican ballot under the presi-
dents name.
The fight will be carried into every
state where third parry leaders hope
to have Republican electors vote for
Mr.. Roosevelt. Regular Republicans,
in touch with the president, the Re-
publican national committee and the
Taft leaders, will begin a campaign
to make sure that electors voted for
on the Republican ticket will stand by
that ticket inA the electoral college.
Suggestions Of compromise, said to
have been taken to the White House,
got no hearing from the president. He
made it plain today to delegation Of
South Dakota men that he would
listen to nothing Of that kind. He
believes that men wha appear on and
are voted for on Republican ballots
are bound to vote for the Republican
nominee.
No plan Of actoni has been devised
in states like South Dakota, Mary
land and Pennsylvania, where Roose-
welt leaders have expressed the view
that the electors now on the Republi-
can ticket would line up for the col
onel, but callers who talked with M
Taft today were convinced he would
fight the plan to theend.
Senator Gamble and Representative
Burke of South Dakota took state
delegation to the White House, and
after the conference with the presi-
dent, the delegation left for New
York, where the case will be taken UP
with Chairman Hilles Of the Republi-
can national committee.
