Presidential Year and Business.

'Does presidential year make any
difference to business?" r. W. Bah

delivered lecture to the Cleveland
Advertising club in that city short
time ago.

ditions make presidents.
Although businss generally through
out the country is in normal state.
Akron, Ohio, the city of rubber, has
increased its business enormously.
More tires are being turned out today
than ever before in its history. For
instance the 1911 sales of the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company increased
500 per cent over 1910 sales and 1912
still greatly exceed even that large
percentage. In 1911 enough tires
we're turned to equip 1O2, $50 cars,
and this year 1912 tires will be manu-
featured at this plant alone to equip
$50, 600 automobiles. In addition the
Goodyear Company is increasing just
as rapidly and wonderfully in other
lines of rubber products. Motor tires,

Canadians Want Road

Guy LowenbeTg, vice president
of the Canadian Highway associa-
ton, and P. V. Fowler, banker,
both residents of Creston, b. G.
were visitors in the city the first OF
the week. They were accompanied
by Mrs. Fowler and Miss Fowler,
making the trip to and from Bon
ners Ferry in Mr. Lowenberg' 5
auto.
Mr.. Lowenberg is a good roads
enthusiast and is deeply interested
in seeing good roads built on the
American as we'll as the Canadian
side of the line. He stated that
some $685. 900 had been spent this
year for good roads in a radius OF
is miles of Creston and also told
of the need of good road between
this city and the Canadian line,
Mr.. Lowenberg tells that there i:
about s miles of very poor road
between this city and Porthill
which could be repaired at very
small cost.

MANY HERE FOR CELEBRATION
Large Crowds at Races, Ball Game
And Sports Yesterday

Boomers Ferry's Fourth of July
celebration this year was attended
by one of the largest crowds that
have ever assembled in the city.
Everyone seemed 20 be having a
good time and to be satisfied with
the entertainment provided by the
business men of the city. The one
disappointment of the day was the
failure of the man who was to make
the balloon ascension to put in an
appearance but the Fourth of July
committee were not responsible for
the falling through of this attract
ion.
The celebration of the Fourth
commenced early in the day with
patriotic services which were held
at the Utopia theater, when patriot
ic addresses were delivered by
Major w. S. Walker and Rev J. J.
Pacey. Several interesting races
were pulled off on Main street in
the morning and at O'Clock the
crowds followed the parade to the
Eagle park where the horse races
were pulled off and the Boomers
Ferry Junior baseball nine defeated
the Libby Troy team by score OF
Is to Is. The principal horse race
of the day was won by l.. NJ. Par
ker's horse.
The features of the evening enter
tainment were the Indian wal
dance, the display of fireworks ano
the grand ball at the Utopia theater
Over l25 couples attended thu
dance.
The day was celebrated in mos
peacible manner and no arrests wer
made for drunkenness or fighting

man OF strong personality and OF
keen business Judgment. It Is
concsded by all that he is OF guber-
nstorial stature, II he is nomi-
mated and elected, he will be able
to give this state a safe and sane
business administration, and will
be under no obligation to machine
politicians. Mr.. Haines is being
supported by majority OF the
Republican newspapers of the state,
and by many of the strongest men
within the party.
Governor Hawley will be the
Democratic nominee, and the pre-
sent governor has gained immense
ly in public estimation within the
last few months. He is very
able man, and very popular per
sonally, and the Republican legis-
lature last winter lifted off his
shoulders the heaviest load that he
has been called upon to carry dur
ing his administration his full
cash value plan of assessment
without due preparation. Hawley
will be hard man to beat, and il
must be conceded that the Repub-
licans have a fight on their hands
Against such a candidate, the Re
publicans cannot afford to take
chances with man like Morrison
Haines appears to be the hope Of
the party with Clagstone for second
choice.

The committee of commissioners
reported that they had interested

or as much as is necessary. Mr..
Pratt is a good roads enthusiast
and said, The people should not
vote for certain party but for a

Boise, July 3rd, l9l2-Politics
have been at fever heat at Idaho's
State Capitol ever since the assem-
bling of the national Republican
convention at Chicago, and interest
has not abated for single day due
to the deadlock of the Democratic
convention at Baltimore. There
has been a noticeable change in the
attitude of both Democrats and
Republicans while both these
national conventions have been
going on. The troubles at the
Chicago convention naturally had
tendency to depress Republicans,
while the Democrats were CORES
pondingly jubilant. With the con
tinuance of the deadlock at Balti-
more there has been radical
change. There is an air OF de-
preston in Democratic circles, and
the Republicans are regaining
their courage.
Idaho is normally Is, 900 Repub-
lican, and it seems likely, at this
time, that the party will present a
solid front to the enemy in Novem
Der. OF course the National situa-
ton will have some effect upon the
vote. but with the Democrats di-
vided as we'll as the Republicans
it does not seem possible that thi:
majority could be overcome, anc
nothing but the nomination OF al
extremely weak state ticket car
prevent the Republicans from carry
ing Idaho in November.
All talk of third parry seems t.
have subsidized, so far as thi
state is concerned. The fact tina
Senator Borah is a candidate TO
reelection, and also supporte'
Roosevelt, makes a third part,
ticket seem improbable. To plac
a third party ticket in the feel
would mean certain defeat TO Sen
, ator Borah. Progressives as we
y as stand -patters are strong for tn
i reelection of Borah. 1t is probabl
= that Roosevelt himself would nc
} wish to see his friend Borah sacri
= feed. The best judgement is tina
J. no Roosevelt electoral ticket wi
- be placed in the field in Idaho
u This insures> practically a unite
J.. party, and, as stated, only the non
Il nation of weak ticket could brin
about Republican defeat, for it
d conceded that the personality
II candidates will have a great bea
ing upon the contest. Party III
Is will bind very lightly in the con
ing campaign, and the charact
q of the candidate will count for
, great deal. This is especially trl
of the head of the ticket.
HAINES FOR GOVERNOR
The contest for the Republic;
OF nomination of Governor has ma

in the way Of entertaining. For this at
