representative for this State.
The Republicans feel entirely
confident of electing a majority Of
members of the legislature. The
death OF Senator Hepburn, regret
able as il was, was an act of proW-
dence that assured Republicans Of
success. In only one or two coun-
ties of the state is there any third
party legislative ticket. All the
progressive republicans of the state
will vote for the Republican legis-
lative ticket in order to vote for
Senator Borah, and the Senator
will draw heavily from the demo-
Gratis and Independents. With
two senators at stake, the regular
Republicans will all vote their leg
islative ticket in order to prevent
the election of a Democrat. 1t
would seem, therefore, that the
Legislative situation is especially
favorable to the Republicans, and
that two Republicans would be
selected at the next Legislative
session to represent Idaho in the
United States Senate, and old poll
teal prophets are backing Borah
and Ailshie as winners.

BOOM AILSHIE
FOR SENATOR
Unwriiten Law Provides That Success
or of Late Sen. Hepburn
Should be Northern Man
BRADY AND COODINC MENTIONED
Ailshie Favorite If Republican Legis-
lature Elected

Boise, Oct, 23.-The sudden
death of Senator Hepburn was a
profound shock in the Capital City.
While it was we'll known that he
was in feeble health, but few were
looking for his untimely end.
Flags were placed at half mast and
every mark of respect was shown
to the dead statesman. Men gath
cred in public clubs and other
places in little knots and discussed
the career of the Senator, and
there was one universal expression
of sorrow coupled with expressions
of the great respect with which he
was held.
Now, that the sensation caused
by his death is past, thoughts are
turning as to his probable success
or. A number of names have been
suggested. Most prominent in the
list is Judge Ailshie, former Gov
ernor Brady, and former Governor
Gooding. AT the present time
Judge Ailshie appears to be a strong
favorite. Ailshie has many ele-
ments in his favor. Should Sen
ator Borah succeed himself for re-
election, the short term Senator
should come from the North. This
is an unwritten law that has been
observed since statehood, and while
not written into the law, was an
understanding at the time the CON
sitution was adopted. The North
and the South is so separated geo.
graphically that it seems a wise adj
justment that .the North should
have one senator and the South
one. In all. the North, Judge ALL
olllO lOOlho u do a NOill dl TX III (
in class by himself. 1t is con-
ceded that he is one of the big
men of the state, and it is believed
here that Ailshie will have practi-
cally the entire vote of fine North
in the legislature. However, ALL
she's strength is not confined to
the North alone, he has many pol
itical followers at the State Capital
and in fact throughout the entire
South, and is very strong in the
Southeast. He looks a sure win
ner at this time, provided the leg
islature is Republican, and if sue
cessful, he would make an able

Peterson Tells Of Origin Of Third
Party Movement in IDAHO

In spite of dismal weather the
Utopia theater was we'll filled Sat
urday night on the occasion of the
republican rally when John NJ.
Haines, candidate for governor and
Joseph c. Peterson, candidate for
attorney general, addressed the
people of this vicinity upon topics
having to do with the political stu
alton in Idaho.
Those who attended the meeting
were agreeably surprised in Mr..
Haines. He impressed them with
being a straightforward business
man, quiet and unassuming, and
there was something about his
manner and an undertone in his
address that gave unmistakable in
dications that he was man who
was capable of big things and who
would fearlessly carry out the bust
ness of the state, if elected, along
lines of efficiency and economy.
Mi. Haines made friends with
those of his audience. And the
friends that he made Saturday
night are such strong friends that
they will work for Mr.. Haines in
the next week before election.
The people of Boomers Ferry
were also pleased with the address
of Joseph c. Peterson who with
Mr.. Haines may take the credit of
having materially strengthened the
republican state ticket in this dis
trict as a result of their visit.
Mr.. Haines gave an insight of
his business ability and foresighted-
ness in his views upon the state
school land question. He showed
where the state owned some
$50, 900, 900 worth of school lands
which if sold and the money placed
out at a reasonable interest would
bring in an approximate annual
income of $4,000, 900, sum en-
tirely sufficient to cover the appro-
priations needed for the public
schools and colleges of the state
for years and years to come. The
plan of selling the state school
lands would require an amendment
of the constitution but it would
mean about $1,000, 900 less to be
raised by taxation and it would also
mean the opening to settlement of
thousands of acres of rich ag.;cul-
tural land which in turn would
mean the increasing i'll population
of the state and in natural sequence,
its more rapid devlopement.
In his address Mr.. Peterson
attacked the third party movement.
He asserted that the movement was
a one man affair in the state as
we'll as in the nation and told that
the Progressive state ticket in Idaho
was not selected at the St. Anthony
convention and that those who OPP
posed the selecting of state ticket
at this convention are among those
who are now OH the progressive
state party ticket.
Mr.. Peterson asserted that the
Republican party was the real pro-
gressive party, that all real pro-
gressive programs had originated
in the Republican party, that the
Republican party had always shown
itself to be progressive and that it
would always continue to do so.
The meeting of Saturday night
was presided over by Chairman of
the County Central Committee of
the Republican party, H. V.
Williams of Standpoint. A number
of prominent republican county
candidates for Office were present
at the meeting

MANY PROGRESSIVE MEASURES
Democratic Administrations Do Not
Compare With Republican

The HERALD is a Republican
newspaper and as such gives its al
legiance to the Republican ticket.
The HERALD believes that Repub-
lican success in 1912 is especially
important, and urges its readers to
continue to give their allegiance to
the Republican party.
The Republican party is not the
Progressive party, but it is the par
ty of progress. 1t has been the
party of progress for the last sixty
years, and is the party of progress
today. No important legislation
has been enacted in all these years
that has not been fathered by the
Republican party and it has been
progressive legislation. What is
true generally and nationally, has
been true locally in the State of
Idaho. All the progressive legis-
lation that has been enacted in the
State of Idaho, has been enacted
by the Republican party.
The Democratic party was in
control of the State of Idaho for
six years. No where in the re-
cords do you find any progressive
legislation while the Democrats
were in power in this state. On
the other hand search the records
during the Republican administra-
tons. and you will find that the
Republican party has been fully up
to the times in progressive legisla-
ton; giving to the people of Idaho
progressive laws as fast as they
were ready to receive them. The
following are some of these laws.
The Republican party CT Idaho
en-franchised women;
>. A Republican legislature gave
the people of the state direct
primary law.
The Republican party passed a
local option law, permitting the
people to express their wishes on
the liquor question.
The Republican party of Idaho
passed the good roads district law.
The Republican party of this
state passed resolution submitting
to the electors of the state an
amendment to the constitution pro-
viding for the initiative and recall.
The Republican party of Idaho
passed the most complete pure food
law to be found any where in the
United States.
The Republican legislature gave
to this state a horticultural law for
the protection of the public against
diseased fruits and orchard stock.
The Republican party gave to
sthe state, a set of irrigation laws
that are models for all western
states.
A Republican legislature gave to
the people of the state, tax com
mission, to assist in equalizinx the
burdens of taxations and to pro-
vide uniform taxation through
out the state.
A Republican legislature passed
the Black law, giving the commits
sion form of government to cities
of this state.
The last Republican legislature
made a large appropriation for
agricultural experimental work to
be conducted throughout the state
for the benefit of the farmers.
The above'is only a partial list
of the progressive measures that
have been passed by the Republican
party, and if the Republican party
is retained in power, it will con-
tinue this work, including tbs Gu

ATTEMPT MADE
TO ROB POOL HALL

Portal, N. D., Nov. IA masked
International Pool Hall and proceeded
to hold up the place. Going into the
place very quietly, the desperate level
ed his gun at the fellows who were oc-
cupying seats in the front Of the build
ing while feeling his way very care
fully. to the door of the rear room
which is partitioned off from the rest
Of the building. .
Joe Wise, one of the proprietors, to-
gether with J. Moore n another
gentleman were sitting at a table talk
ing when the holdup man made his
appearance at the door. When he ar
rived at the door he held his gun on
the men and ordered them to throw
up their hands. Mr.. Moore who was
next to the door jumped up, striking
the gun just as the first shot was fired.
Moore dropped to the floor and the
fellow fired at Mr.. Wise, but the shot
went wild, tearing a hole in the floor.
The mar with the gun pulled another
shooting iron out of his pocket and
proceeded to take his spite out on
Moore who tried to. get away by run
ming around to the rear door where
the dad man" had come into the
building, but this door in some way
had become locked and Moore was at
the mercy Of the fellow who fired two
shots at him. 81 . @.
One of the shots struck his vest at
about the third button, passing
through the vest, a bank book and
passing out through his coat, but the
bullet never injured him in the least.
The man held the guns on the boys
while he made his gateway through
the front door. In passing through
the door, the bandit, who was very
excited, dropped his hat which Mr..
Wise is keeping as evidence.
None Of the men in the hall had ID
weapon of any kind or they might
have winged the man before he could
get away. It is thought possibly, that
he jumped on 108 as the train was
about due to leave.
The fellow was rather slim, about
5 feet 10 inches tall, wore a black coat
and a pair of blue overalls and ap-
parently about thirty years Of age
