is simply an impertenance. When a
man accents the nomination at the
OF a political party it is generally as
sumed that he is member ofthat party
advocates its platform; and will sup
port its ticket; This is generally as
sumed unless the candidate clearly
states his position to be otherwise.
In the present campaign, there is, to
the best Of our knowledge and belief
only one Republican candidate who
does not publicly and more or less
enthusiastically support the entire Re
publican ticket. There is only one
candidate in so far as we know who is
trying to "pussy-foot' his way into
office to use an eloquent and express
i've word introduce by the Progressive
chairman himself. That candidate is
Senator William E. Borah. Republi-
can nominee for the United States
senate. Mr. Borah refused to follow
] Col Roosevelt sut OF theRepublican
party. and at the same time will not
publicly support President Taft. He is
certainly trying to ''pussy-foot' his
way through the campaign Undoubt-
edly it was he whom the state chair
man had in mind when he called for
the public statement from the candi-
dates. The Herald agrees with the
chairman that Senator BSah be called
upon to state his position. The peo-
pie of Idaho have a right to know
whether the Senator is a Taft reac-
tionary or a Roosevelt socialist.
Readers of this paper will remember
that during the Chicago convention
| senator Borah notified Col Roose'
vel that he would no longer consent tC
be the jaclass in the menagerie. The
same readers also know that th'
Senator said in his Meridian addres!

different candidates, under the direc-

DEMOCRATIC NEWS.

The state election in Vermont which
was held last week. has greatly in
creased the very highest hopes of the
democrats for victory this fall 1t has
demonstrated on point in particular,
which is of vital consequence to the
democracy. and that is, the source
from which Roosevelt draws his sup
port, and this election has demonstrat-
ID that every democrat in the state of
Vermont voted the democratic ticket
and that Roosevelt polled little over
one-rhird OF the republican vote. The
normal democratic vote in Vermont is
about 10000 and the normal republican
vote is about 10000, and Roosevelt
polled 1880 the regular republican
10000 and the democratic candidate
for governor 20,35O. This shows that
not only every democrat stands true
to Wilson but that many republican
first voters have evidently left the
republican party in disgust and allied
themselves with the democrats.
This election shows that Roosevelt
and Taft will split the republican vote
IN two in every state in the union
and that the democratic party il
united. 1t is not only possible, bu
very probable that Woodrow Wilson
will carry about 40 states out of th'
total 4S in the Union
However, the democrats must keel
up their campaigning and not permi

FRUIT MEN
GIVEN ADVICE
Inspector Scott Says That
They are Losing Many
Thousands

"The fruit growers OF southern Ida
no are losing thousands of dollars
yearly that could be saved by the -ex-
penditure of a few dollars for the
construction of dryers" said ] A.
Scott deputy fruit inspector of the
Oregon Short Line for the district
comprising Weiser and Payette.
Tons upon tons of prunes that have
become little too ripe to pack are
allowed to rot on the trees, when by
3rying them the grower could secure
an even better price for his product
than for the fresh fruit In packing
fresh fruits. such as prunes, the grow
er is given but a limited time in which
20 market his fruit and this time oc-
ours when all other packers are ship
ping their products. This means that
the market is glutted and consequently
the fruit grower do not get as much
ior their fruit as they should
Dried fruit, whether apples, prunes
or other varieties, is salable at all
times of the year and what is more
important from the standpoint of the
grower, commands a higher price than
the fresh fruit If instead of packing
all of the fruit he can and then letting
the over-ripe fruit go to waste, the
grower would invest few dollars in
he Construction of dryer, he could
not only save the loss from the wasted
iruit, but would get bigger price per
ton for his product.
'In my opinion, the fruit growers
Of this section do not realize the great
amount of money they are losing by
not looking after the leaks in their
business. The establishment of can
neries in each town or village as well
as a fruit drying plant on each farm
would do much towards stopping the
leaks and increasing the profits from
orchards.

chards that are not yet bearing and
from which the grower is not deriving
dollars worth of income If these
people would only realize that the

from Racine, Wis.
Milan's triple in the ninth frame was

the big crowd had to hand him a hand.
Laporte made a swell stab of Mattick' s
bounder over second in the first. Prob
ably saved 1t from being a two-base
affair
There's an impression in and around
Chicago that Shanks is the original sec
ond-story man. He robbed Weaver Of
nifty liner in the fourth, stabbing
the sphere near the foul line after q
fast marathon.
Cap Mcbride made a one-handed stab

Besides breaking Ty Cob's last years
record for stolen bases to smithereens
during the afternoons entertainment,
Milan was the heavy clouter for the
Nationals, getting four wallops in seven
times up.
Only one ahead in the eighth frame
and with two gone. Moeller's steal OF the
middle corner came in mighty handy. He
had walked TO first and Fosters single
wallop to right center shot him across.
Ping Bodie was hurried out as a last
resort by Callahan in the ninth frame to
pull the Sox from behind, but all the
CLOUD smasher'' had at the time was a
timid little infield groundef, which was
handled by Capt. Mcbride.
The double bill and the final appearance
Of the Nationals proved too much for
the Chicago fans. and Comiskey's big lot
was crowded with one of the best
gathering which has assembled during
