WILLIAM e. BORAH
The term of office of Hon. VIM. E.
Borah, the junior United States SEN
atOr from Idaho, is rapidly drawing
to a close and the coming legislature
will he called upon to elect his sue
cessor. In the short period OF six
years, Senator Borah, because OF bis
ability, honesty and courage has DEM
Onstrated that he has no superior in
the senate of the United States, and
it would be a public calamity for
Idaho to fail to return him to the
senate. Our republican legislative
candidates are hereby pledged to
work and vote, first, last and all the
time, for the reelection of Senator
BOrah.

ton Of the state Idaho ia now entitled
to two representa- tives in congress.
For the additional place the republic
ans OF Idaho have nominated in a di-
rect primary. Hon. Addison II. Smith.
MI. Smith has spent more than twen-
ty years in Washington as secretary
to different members Of the Idaho
delegation in congress. No man in the
state has a wider knowledge of the
needs of the people of Idaho, or a bet
ter acquaintance with conditions in
the state. He is an upright, honest.
clean Christian, with a high record
for public duty. We predict that, il
elected. Mr.. Smith will he found work
ing side by side with Burton l..
French to advance the best interests
of the state OF Idaho, and in advanc-
ing the interests OF the progressive
