BILE?
The newspapers OF Idaho which
are supporting President Taft, must
know IRON the polls which have
been taken In this state and in
almost every state in the union,
that Roosevelt is the choice OF a
large proportion of republicans, II
not the great majority of the rank
and file of the party. In the FAC
of this knowledge they have stoop-

hand those who favor his nomipa'-

President Taft, but have confined
their arguments to the progress We
ness OF the ex-president and his
popularity with the people wh en-
there Is every. reason to believe

didate. We have yet to note In
a newspaper supporting Rooseye
the slightest abuse Of the pres

Now the ques ion is how long
the Roosevelt supporters will stand
for the one sided attacks? While
the Taft supporters are assuming .
an altitude similar to that of the G
campaign before the primaries two a
years ago which resulted In de- q
mocratic success. the Roosevelt q
following are striving to have the s
matter settled without the bitter n
ness which will preclude the posi- "
biity of their giving Mr.. Taft eff Ii
iicient support should he be sue h
