BIG NOISE OF THE
DEMOCRATS STARTED
Blackfoot 52-PocateIlo o

The Pocatello pig skin rushers were
defeated by the B. H. S. team by
score Of SO to O. The local team had
walkaway from the first whistle to
the last and at no time during tie en-
tire game was Pocatello closer than
twenty yards to home. The local
team is rather small but, Oh my, how
they can go. Plays were pulled off that
the Pocatello team could not exactly
get through their noodles and we fear
that the little puzzle was rather cloud,
to them. The local teams criss cross
play always worked and Pocatallo was
entirely unable to keep track of the
ball, while the husky full back Rich,
plowed through most any place he
headed for. The game was clean and
snappy and there was no iansling to
speak of other than the refusal Of le.-
ting Martin, an unahg:.;e man ply
with the Pocatello teau, and thus the
once two envious seams actually were
smiling at each other and had en-
tirely forgotten by gone battles.
After the game the boys were enter
tanned at a royal supper, given by the
B. Fl. S. girls at the residence of Mr..
w. E. Brown. They left on the even
ing motor for home and all reported
having had good time in spite Of the
honors lost that day.

John M. Haines, of Boise, Republi-
can nominee for governor, arrived in
Blackfoot Sunday on Train ia, from
Ashton and other branch towns, where
he spent some time While in the
city Mr.. Haines met many of the
Republicans Of the county and city.
He is completing his compaig ming in
Southeastern Idaho, having left Black
foot this morning in company with
Joe H. Peterson, candidate for attor-
ney general, over the Mackay branch
for the city of that name, where they
will take stage and visit Challis and
other towns in that district. Mr.. .Haine S
has pursued good course, in his
campaigning, having ondeavored to
meet personally the greatest number
of people possible, instead of deliver
ing addresses. He is what the peo-
pie are thirsting for. plain, practi a.,
successful business man, not an acade-
mic orator, who can deliver a cut
and dried address, telling what the
country needs, and then be unable to
put his theories to practice. John M.
Haines, through life of practical ex-
periences extending from the early
days in the state of Kansas through
nearly a quarter of a century of ac-
tive business life in Idaho, up to the
present time, has hewn a place for
himself, and has gained the confidence
of all with whom he has dealingG
through his integrity and business acu
men. Mr.. Haines is very optimistic
over the preference expressed for go.

JOHN N. HAlNES

Spirit Lake Herald-The Herald
did not support John M. Haines in his
for the Republican guberna-
torial nomination but its attitude to-
ward the nominee during the primary
canvas was such that it can now en-
endorse his candidacy.
John M. Haines earned the honor
which he has received at the hands OF
the Republican party. He is rightfully
entitled to the nomination as r.
ward for his service to his party and
his state. In his lie Of almost a de-
cade in Boise, he has been put to
the test and he has net been found
wanting. He is worthy of being cal
led a pioneer and empire builder, for,
in his almost 20 years of residence
here, he has been doing things which
have not only been profitable to him.
self but of lasting benefit to the
people. 1t is well that the citizens
have thus selected a man as a candi-
date for governor who they know will
administer the affairs of state in a
businesslikel manner, because Of his
success as an individual, and it is
well that pioneer should be given
recognition in this manner
