OPINIONS of Weight
ON POLITICAL SITUATION

Wv OAA !
President Clark of the Taxpayer
League, Democrat)-"I am willing
to do anything to maintain harmony
in the Democratic ranks in this state.
will work for Wilson and Mitchell,
but l will not vote, work, or encourage
in any way, shape, form, or degree for
the yellow dog" Democratic ticket
that is to be submitted to us this fall
in this state.
w. c. Howie, Elmore County-"In
my county those who were supporters
of Roosevelt prior to the Chicago con-
vention are now steadfast supporters
of President Taft and there is no obser-
veable Roosevelt sentiment in our
county and no division upon the Re-
publican state ticket. 1t will receive
the full strength of the party. Our
county ticket is very strong one and
Will be supported by many Democrats
We recognize that vote for Roose-
welt is virtually vote for Wilson,"
E. r. Sherman, Ex-president of the
lntermountain Good Roads Associa-
tion-"At one time there was strong
Roosevelt sentiment in Twin Falls
county but even among those who
have been supporters of Roosevelt
there is no sentiment for a third state
ticket and their support will be given
the Republican ticket. Sentiment for
laft is growing every day and the
state will be carried by Taft. Borah
and Haines are very strong in our
county and each will carry the county
by majority of not less than FIVE
hundred votes. l feel that the good
roads movement will be materially
promoted by the election of a Re-
publican legislature, for in this, as we'll
as along other lines, the Republican
party has record to which it can
point with PRIDE"
/. H. Nash, State Committeeman.
Oneida county,, myself, was a
Roosevelt supporter and a Roosevelt
delegate to the state convention, but
have yet to hear one say, no matter
how ardent he may have been, that he
IS going to support the Bull Moose
state ticket, but, on the other hand.
al are united in the expression that
that ticket is uncalled for and should
not receive support. Oneida will roll
up its usual Republican majority.
B. Z Bush, Field Agent, State Land
Board the State Land board is now
completing the <shangc effc led by il
with the national government for five
hundred Thousand acres of unsurveyed
school sections lying in the national
forest tor an equal area in solid body
along the exterior of the national
forest. Within few days we will
begin making the selections This is
one OF the most important and bene-
hcial accomplishments made in wears
and it settles the controversy which
mas been continually arising between
the state and national government in
regard to title to common school
lands"
W.. Lloyd Adams, Editor Rexbure
Standard, Sugar City Times. and
Roberts Sentinel, Fremont County,
we are all strong for Taft down in
fremont county and there never was a
time when we were so we'll organized.
We have an auxiliary campaign COM
mittee composed of both men and
women IN every precinct. There is no
hght on any member of the Republican
state ticket and all will receive good
majorities. John M. Haines will car
ry the county by majority of at least
one thousand votes, and the people are
going to vote for Addison T. Smith
tor congress as they ralize that he is
very valuable man to have at the
nations capital"
L. Bush Livermore, Editor Pocatello
Tribune-"Bannock county. correctly
CONSIDERED the pivotal county of the
southeast, IS more interested in econ
omical government and in reduction of
taxes than in the moo" of the Bull
Moose or the bray of the Democratic
donkey. Down in the southeast the
issue is whether or not there shall be |
business man at the head of the state
government or theorist whose
theories have been tested and found
to be composed of equal parts of bum
combe and bosh.
The third partyites in Bannock
county represent such small percent
age OF the voting population as to be |
absolutely a negligible quantity. AL
vote for Roosevelt is vote for the
Democratic doctorine. The Republic
an party is the true party of progress
it is the party of achievement instead
OF promise; it is the party whose claim
to progressiveness is not based upon
Intangible protestations but upon con.
crete record. The advise of John M
Haines, whose succinct phrase, "take
your tax receipt into the election
booth when you go to vote in Novem-
ber," condenses all the issues in this |
campaign and has more weight down
our way than thousand speeches by |
either Roosevelt or Bryan, or a thou
sand tons of literature from either
Gipsons of Hawley's headquarters.
Thanks to Democratic governor
and Democratic county and city ad
ministration, the free holder in the |
Gate City will this year be called upon
