EVENING CAPITAL NEWS MONDAY, OC.
other machine controlled BY them bearing the label Of
democracy.
There is no more show for Taft and Haines to carrv
Idaho than there is for the Socialist candidates to
state We do not that they will not receive more
votes than Debs and the Socialist nominee for
but we mean that far the prospect of their carrying
those of the Socialists.
Roosevelt does not carry Idaho Wilson will: if Mar
TIN not elected Hawey will be- This is the exact stua-
and the Republican leaders know it, They know that
in two or three counties in the southeast neither
Haines nor Taft has ghost Of show to carry another
county in the state They know that except those
Tor three countless Wilson and Hawlev will carry ali tho
counties not carried by Roosevelt and Martin They know
that Haines cannot carry Ada, Canyon Boise Washing
ton Lincoln Twin Falls Blaine counties and they know
he cannot carry the northern counties of the state They
also know that in straght-up fight between the Re-
pubicans and the Democrats Republican can win who
loses these counties has been done and it can
never be dOne The nearest to such Republican victory
was in 1906 when the Dubois campaign caused the Nor
mon voters to vote unit for Gooding Goodng lost
Ada Canyon Boise and Washington but he carried Laah
kootenai Bonner and Nez Perez countess and although
the so-called Mormon counties gave him nearly 10000
majority he elected by less than 5000 over tocsager
Halnes will get none Of the northern counties men
toned; he will lose Lincoln and Twin Falls, Blaine Ell
more and Owyhee Custer and Lemh counties and will not
carry the southeastern counties taken as whole by 1000
even if he carries them at ALL
AS matter of fact the Progressives are hoping Haines
will do better than that in the southeast for every pur
atty vote he gets there lessons by just much the vote
that Hawley will get and Hawley is the only opponent
Martin has. 1t Haines can take 5000 10000 Hawlev
votes away from him in the southeast it makes it just that
much easier for Martin to defeat Hawey
The Progressives not looking for very large Mar
tin vote in the southeast While it is true that there are
many most loyal progressive voters in that section they
are in the minority in most of the counties That leaves
the majority of the vote there to be divided between Haw
ley and Haines Martin can beat Hawey in the north and
IN the southwest but not by great plurality as he will
beat Hanes in the counties If the southeast goes
too strong to Hawey might elect him. but we DOM care
now strong the reactOnary vote there goes for Haines
because that keeps just votes away from Hawev
the only opponent Martin has.
VI course, Martin wants many votes for himself in
the southeast possible but his friends realize that he
cannot get plurality there for the reason that the ma
o1y OF the voters under the domination of the Harris
the Alstns, the Hagenbars the Steees the Johnsons
the Hayeses, the Hunts, the Turner's the nlmerous|
Evanses and Davses of Oneida county and the
the Riches and other corporation and Short Line
friends in Bear Lake county, and that for that reason
but the independent and real Progressive voters will
vote for Martin And the even of progressvism has not
yet been preached there sufficiently most of these
voters to break away from this corporation and special
interest domination.
1t is only question in this campaign whether these
political representatives of the Short Line and other
ca interests give the word to for Hanes or whether
they give 1T to vote for Hawey If they give out to vote
Tor Hanes thereby reducing the vote that Hawey got
Two years ago IN that section present indications are
that they WILL then Martin will in the state If thew
give out the word to desert Hanes and vote for Hawey
they may do Just before election and if their
lions are obeyed then the fight between Martin and Haw
ley Will be very close and the result will depend upon how
strong the Martin puraties will be in the northern and
southwestern counties.
OH THAT'S WHAT MR. WILSON MEANTI
He (Roosevelt) interpreted my remark to mean that
