|BORAH Will Be HATD
Progressive Secretary Sees
Victory for Idaho Senator.
CHAMPION OF The PEOPLE
Also Believes Roosevelt and Martin
Will Carry State.

That the Progressive party will
cut big figure in Idaho at the
coming election, especially in the
state and national ticket, is the
opinion of Paul Davis, secretary
OF the Progressive central commit
tee.
"After travelling over the state"
said Mr.. Davis, II am satisfied
Roosevelt and Martin will carry
Idaho. Voters everywhere tell me
that they will write the names Of
the Roosevelt electors on the ballot.
The action Of the supreme court
will stimulate the Progressive
voters at the polls. The courage
and grit shown hy Mr.. Roosevelt
at the time of his shooting, and
siQce, is the make up Of the kind
OF a man that is needed in the
presidency.
~ have every reason to believe
that Senator Borah will be re-elec-
ted" continued Mr.. Davis. "The
progressive Democrats are going
to give him their support. He is
considered by all to be one of the
ablest men in the United States
senate. He is champion Of the
people. He has done more for the
people Of Idaho and the west than
any other man ever in the upper
branch of congress. He is held in
high regard throughout the east.
Certain interests and individuals,
desirous of defeating him, have
adopted underhanded methods Of
warfare, but the voters have seen
through these methods and will
resent such tactics at the polls on
November S. 1t would be shame
and disgrace for Idaho not to
return him to the senate"

THE TRUSTS and TARIFF
Attitude of Three Parties on I'm.
portant Issues.

Following is given in brief the
planks in the platforms Of the three
leading political parties, Of 1912,
relative to the trust problems and
those dealing with the tariff.
The republican platform states re
garding the trusts that:
"The Republican party is opposed
to special privilege aud to monopoly.
1t placed upon the statute book the
interstate commerce act Of 1887 and
the antitrust act of 1890. and it has
consistently and successfully enforced
the provisions of these laws. 1t will
take no backward STEP" etc.
On the tariff, the republican plat
form says:
"We Teaflirm our belief IN pro-
tertive ta,iff The r publican tariff
policy has been of the greatest benefit
to the country, developing our re
sources, dlversifying our industries
and protecting our workinvmet'
against competition with cheape'
labor abroad, thus establishing f. ]
our wage earneIs the American stand
ard of living. The protective tarlfl
Is so woven into the fabric OF our IN
dustrial and agricultural life that tt
u substitute for it tariff for revenue
only would destroy many industries
and throw millions of our people ou
of employment" The plank furthe
:. states that readiustment should ~
= made from time TO time to conform
to changing conditions aud to reduc
y excessive rates, but, it says, correc
!" information on which to accompils'
this scan best be obtained by an ex
:. pert commission"
+" The democratic platform blame
the high cost of living mainly on IN
.,rus,s and commercial conspiracies'
f,stered by Republican leglslat'oh
= :. ga private monopoly is indefe's'o'
and into,erable," the platform dc
:, cIares. Hence the enforcement OF tn
= criminal clause Of the antitrust Ia

acials, 1t condemns the kepuoiica

USE BASS TO KILL CARP
Also to Eradicate Whitefish in
Idaho Waters.

The state game and fish depart
ment is carrying on determined
campaign to rid the streams and
lakes OF Idaho of the destructive
carp and whitefsh, which interfere
with the proper care and protec-
ton of trout, says the Statesman.
A potent factor in this fight is
the stocking of the carp-infcsted
streams and lakes with bass, a
species of the fnny tribe which
eventually works the eradication of
the whitehsh and carp.
To secure great quantities OF
bass for this purpose the depart
ment IS constructing a bass pawn
ing pond at the state fish hatchery
at Hayspur Here enough bass
may be raised to meet the demand
to carry on this campaign of carp
destruction, and also additions
schools will be placed in the big
reservoirs throughout the irrigated
portions of the state in waters toe
warm for ordinary trout. The
bass is recognized as FIRE game
fish, and their culture bv the de-
partment means a great boost for
fishing in the state.
Among the waters to be stocked
with bass this year are the Bear
river ard the Salmon reservoir.
This will mean the destruction OF
the smaller carp and the depart
ment will depend upon the method
OF SEEMING to rid the streams and
lakes OF the larger carp 1t is ex-
planned that while hitefish are
not so destructive of trout as are
carp. the whtefsh secure much of
the natural food in the streams
that would otherwise be consumed
by the trout, and in this way are
detrimental.
