the visit of United States Senator
William E. Borah to Shoshone county.
Three splendid meetings were held last
week, and at the three places where the
senator spoke, large crowds were in
attendance and his remarks listened to
with the greatest interest. If the rum

Every man and woman who heard bin,
knows where he stands: knows ,ha
he is ardently and sincerely support
ing the administration of President
Taft, to whom he gives credit for
greater accomplishments in the name
Of the republican party and in behalf
Of the common people of the United
States than any president before him
has done
Senator Borah stated in his Wallace
speech that he had been an ardent sup

convention was held. and that he had
told the ex-p president when the result
was known, and Taft had been nomi-

A number of other messages were

the Underwood bill is not dead, 1t Is
only sleeping, and it is certain to be-
