Paul Clagstone Wires Con
gratulations to Progress
sive Nominee -Borah to
Speak at King Hill.

"Heartiest congratulations on your
nomination to the governorship. Go
in and win"
That is the message of encourage
ment wired by Paul GLADSTONE from
Clagstone Junction. where he is look
ing after his big ranch to G. ii. Mar
tin, Progressive nominee for governor
1t Is only one of many letters, tele-
grams and verbal messages being sent
TO Progressive headquarters convey
ang proffers of support to Mr.. Mar
tin and the entire state ticket.
In many of the letters the informa-
ton is conveyed that those who. at
first, did not approve the putting up
OF state ticket, now see the wisdom
of that action and are in hearty ac-
cord with the action of the executive
committee and will give earnest sup
port to all the nominees. Most of the
objection, it has been ascertained, has
been caused through an impression
that the putting up of state ticket
involved the nomination of candidates
for the legislature and this was OPP
posed because Of the fear that 1t
would injure the chances of Senator
Borah Now, that 1t is fully under
stood that no opposing legislative
ticket will be named to candidates who
favor Senator Borah. but that on the
contrary the entire Progressive party
Is back OF Senator Borah and working
for his reelection harder and more
earnestly than is the regular Republic
can organization. which, as matter of
fact, is now understood to be luke
hit hr1, CT nI,1 Ia n
strength has been added to the Pro-
gressive state ticket and those who
formerly opposed the naming of such
a ticket are now heartily supporting
Il.
Demand for Borah.
A message was received this morn
ing by State Chairman Gipson from
w. G. Scholtz of King Hill, asking him
to arrange with Senator Borah to
make a speech at King Hill. In the
message, which was a long one, Mr.
Scholtz explained that there are a
large number of voters living in Owy
hee county near King Hill that it is
important that Senator Borah should
address and he asked the Progress
sive state chairman to take the mat
ter up Immediately.
Mr.. GIBSON at once called Senator
Borah up at Glenns Ferry to which
place he went this morning for the
purpose of delivering an address to-
night and explained to him the con-
tents of the telegram received and the
result was that Senator Borah changed
his itinerary sufficiently to permit OF
his holding meeting at King Hill
tomorrow afternoon in time for the
senator to take the train for Noun
tain Home, where he will speak to-
morrow night. Mr.. Scholtz Is mem
