Hard Times Come Again No More.'

This is the "old familiar hymn"
that the Republican party is
again humming over the country
and which has brought comfort
and consolation to so many
thousands since they cried hard
times leave u.s. in '94 and the re-
membrance of which still fingers
in their ears, and now that so
many have taken hold of the
PLOW OF PROSPERITY it is
too good thing to leave loose
of only to turn back to disa-
pointment and then make a swift
chase to catch again barely in
time to save the field from des-
truction and begin a new harvest,
CA Republican Administration
one that reaps the staff OF lite
and feeds the untold millions who
are constantly coming to our
shores.
Like any good concern, it is
dlsasterous to change manage
ment and especially POLICY. 1t
cuts off the dividends and the
stock holders become dissatisfied
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1912-10-25

and unsettled and rebellion is in
the air; everybody wants some
thing and gets nothing satistact-
ory and they long to get back to
"GOOD OLD TIMES AGAIN"
They realize that what they
thought was progressive was
only delusion; like the water
turned over the precipice it went,
but where? Over the precipice
of course. SO are some of the
people if they follow the delusions
they are advocating.
But why go through all this?
There is no need for it.. Keep the
present steady, real progressive
movement going Elect Vim. H.
Taft, President; he moves on a
safe basis; put the republican
state candidates back and make
Idaho GROW ON.
The Republican county ticket
offers as good men to vote for as
any ticket in the field, so why
speculate? VOTERS. IT'S UP
TO YOU, but Hard Times Come
Again No More"

Republicans
Hold Big Rally.

Monday evening last Attorney
L. A. Bauman, candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney on the Re-
publican ticket and Ex-Governor
Gooding addressed an attentive
audience in the Opera house on
the topics of the campaign.
Mr.. Bauman gave Il very clean
cut talk on the present issues,
praising Senator Borah Tor the
excellent work done by him dur
ing his term of Office, and urged
recognition OF his efforts and sue
cess by returning him to the SEN
ate again, He also viewed the
third party nose-in as an unnec-
essary entity and then discussed
for short time the county Re-
publican platform as passed by
the party on September 18th last
as containing the kind of princi-
pals, where not already lncorpor-
ated into law. as being the kind
that should be SO incorporated.
He referred to the strengthen
ing of the local option law and
is strong advocate ofsame.
Ex-Governor Gooding opened
his talk by saying that Hawley
was disgrace to the state. He
presented figures showing the in
creased amount Of money spent
under Hawley's administration,
notwithstanding the latter's S
pledge two years ago, that he
would see that expenditures
were reduced. He claimed that
Hawley was not friend to the
Carey Act settlers and produced
figures showing the greatly
incre amount of Carey Act
money spent over former admin.
istrations.
He q welt for a short time on
the tariff and trust and wound
up with his fovcrite topic, 1.-The
Railroad Commission"
The Governor was strong in
his advocacy Of electing the Re
publican ticket form top to bot
tom for the continued growth
and the prosperity OF the country
in general and the west in partic-
ular. The people were very well
pleased with his talk and happily
surprised that he did not swear
but twice in his entire speech.

MINIMUM WAGE PASSES
British Measure Goes Through Third
Reading by Vote Of 213 to 4s.

London. March 27-A fateful day in
the history of British trade struggles
came to close early with the passage
through parliament. by large major
tty, of the bill establishing in legisla.
ton the principle of minimum wage
in the country's most important in
dustry.
The minimum wage bill passed its
third reading in the house Of commons
by a vote of 213 to 4S. amid scene
Of great excitement. The house OF
lords reassembled to receive the bill
and on motion Of Lord Herschell it
passed its first reading.
After a strike lasting Nearly a
month and involving the whole coal
country in untold distress the miners
have thus secured recognition of the
principle which they set out to obtain.
But they are still dissatisfied because
the bill does not specify the amount
Of the minimum wage. Thus there is
no prospect of an immediate settle
uent of the strike.
