BORAh LANDSLIDE
IS NOW APPARENT
Legislative Candidates All
Over the State Swinging
Into Line.

That the reelection Of Senator
William Edgar Borah to the United
States senate and control of the next
legislature by Republicans, is still the
paramount issue in the state of Idaho
is evident from the fact that legis-
lative candidates in all counties in the
state are swinging into line for the
senator. and not one so far has at
tempted to go before the electors in
his respective county pledged not to
support him. c. +. Borden of Lincoln
county, is one of the latest legislative
candidates to make his position with
relation to Senator Borah as well as
county division plain to his constitu-
ents. He has gone publlcsily on rec
ord as a supporter Of the junior SEN
ator in the following declarations:
To the Voters OF Lincoln County:
In presenting briefly what con-
ceive to be the real issues of the cam
paign. shall say that I accept the
result Of the primaries without quail
fication or reserve.
The paramount issue before the pri-
maries was county division: and at
that time pledge was made by the
Republican candidates for the legis-
lature, favoring a three county divi-
sion. Should l be elected, I shall con-
slider 1t my duty to carry out this
pledge to the best OF my ability.
Believing that the recollection of
Senator William f. Borah is one OF
the paramount political duties OF any
citizen OF Idaho, and believing further
that the people OF Idaho meant most
to honor him and themselves
when he was named as the primary
choice Of the Republican party. Il
pledge my unqualified support to his

revival of active hostilities between
the Gould and Hartman lines in the

SOCIALISTS WIN
. Their POINT AND
TROUBLE ENDED
Free Speech Campaign A.
most Causes Serious Riot
Serious Charge Against
Agitators Withdrawn.

Little Falls. N. r. Oct. ls.-Ths -
cialist party won its fight for froo
speech here tonight. when. after q two
hours conference between Mayor Shall
and Attorney John A. Dugan. personal
friend Of the Socialist mayor, Lunn Of
Schenectady. the charge Of felony and
melting to riot against Lunn and his
associates was changed to simple mis-
demeanor and they were paroled until
Tuesday afternoon when their cases
will be settled. At the same time. It
was announced that Charles Edward
Russell. Socialist candidate for gov-
ernor Of New York, would be given q
permit to speak when he arrives here
Monday.
Robert Brakeman. Schenectady So
ciaiirt. fined $50 this afternoon and sent
to Jail when he refused to pay Il, was
released and his case also will be tried
Tuesday.
The settlement came at a moment
when the situation was so acute that
violence was expected.
Il will rot in Jail before will pey
fine or furnish ball." Mayor Lunn
had emphatically declared, when he
heard that Brakeman had been fined
and sent to Jail. He added that next
week there would be enough Socialists
in Little Falls to fill every cell
The announcement Of the compromise
was received with great Joy by the en-
tire city.
Socialist leaders had declared that
the action Of the city officials Of Little
Falls in falling the Schenectady So
cialists for speaking in front OF the
textile mills, where strike IL in prog
ress resulted from their fear that the
balance of the unskilled workers. who
have not struck, would organize and
walk out. 1t was learned Just previous
to the temporary settlement Of the free
speech fight. despite the statement Of
Manager Mclaughlin OF the Phoenix
mills, that the mills would be operated
on schedule. they would have to be
closed within the fortnight IL the strike
was not settled.
The trouble in the mills originated
when mill owners enforced the 81 hour
working law and cut unskilled workers
wages. which then averaged between So
and So week. 1t was said tonight that
$500 were out.
Among others arrested today was tho
Rev. DIR. Crapsey Of Rochester. who.
with an organizer for the Industrial
Workers of the World. attempted to
address strikers outside the textile
mills.
Just what further action the Social
lists intend taking they would not di-
vulge. 1t is understood that they will
decide on their plans after conference
with Russell Monday.
