ELMA ELECTIONS

ELMA, Dec. AT the city election
on Tuesday, George Simpson, c. H.
Palmer and J. J. Anderson were elect
ed councilmen and A. L. Callow town
treasurer. The total number of bal
lots cast was but 234, about half of
the registered voters being at the
polls. The women did not vote in
large numbers, not more than thirty
casting ballots. This was probably
partly due to the day, as 1t rained
much of the time.

Southeastern Idaho Fair
Surprising All Past Records
POTATOES ARE DIRT CHEAP


The following from an Ohio paper
tends to show that spuds are not go
ing to bring much of a price on the
market this year
This is going to be a very great
year for the homely and useful spud
Murphy. The price Of POTATOES, which
has been at dizzy heights for over q
year, is tumbling and today grocers
refused potatoes at thirty cents a
bushel.
1t has only been short time since
it cost forty-five cents to get a short
peck of measely and pasty-looking
spuds, and now to think that you
can buy bushel for thirty cents, or
less, shows that the crop of early po-
tatoes is astonishingly large.
The prospect OF late potatoes is not
good and the chances are that the
price will go up later on in the
season.
One famrer in town this morning
with big load of potatoes could not
get thirty cents and he hauled his
load back home. declaring that he
would store them away until next
spring.

Advertise Your Potatoes

For number of years this paper
has endeavored to impress upon the
farmers the benefit to be derived from
having cards printed. with the name
and address of the producer thereon,
and put one in each sack of potatoes.
Last year a large number Of them
were sent out over the United States.
Southeastern Idaho and especially
Bingham County has a greater acre
age of, potatoes this year than ever
before. This Office will print cards,
ETC., at an extremely low cost, if suf-
ficient orders are secured for them, an
we suggest that every farmer place
his order at once with The Twice-A-
Week Optimist for what cards he can
use this year.

Paul Clagstone Nominated For

Resolutions Adopted

Whereas, the public utterances and
the record Of the Honorable William
+. Borah as senator of the United
States from the state of Idaho demon
strate beyond a question that he has
been and still is In principle and in
practice thoroughly in accord with the
policies Of the Progressive party, and
that his notable achievements in pro-
curing the enactment Of progressive
legislAticn are worthy Of the highest
commendation and entitle him to the
loyal support Of all progressive voters
Of Idaho. and
Whereas, Honorable Burton L.
French, member of congress from Ida
no, by his public utterances and his
record as member of congress has
likewise demonstrated his belief in and
adherence to progressive policies, and
his ability to procure the enactment
thereof into law and is likewise cnti-
tied to our confidence and support
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Progressive party of Idaho that it is
deemed unnecessary and inadvisable (
nominate a candidate to oppose Con
gressman French, or to nominate leg
islative candidates in opposition to
these candidates pledged to the sup.
port of Senator Borah, and we most
earnestly urge all progressive voters
of the state Of Idaho to support Con-
gressman French at the ensuing gen
eral election, and to support those
candidates who are pledged to return
Senator Borah to the United States
