REPUBLICAN was the only Republi

there was no slight intended. BY the

In it's last issue, speaking OF Borah
1t says, in part, Republicans who
have accepted the verdict at Chicago
and those who are supporting Mr.
Taft, have not been alienated by
Senator Borah's position in this
campaign. Where they were for him
before, they are for him still,' and
again. "the few who are making q
bushwhacking fight on him In this
campaign, with headquarters in Boise
and a few scattered sympathisers
throughout the state, are not making
fight on him because they think he
is not for Taft or because they think
he is for Roosevelt, but because he
is Borah, leader In the fight against
the things for which they stand and
have stood in this state for years.

glad OF Its change of heart and con

dent OF the Borah Club, formed the
other day In his back office, will
spare little of their time from cir
culating anti-Taft literature, and
roasting Taft, and devote that little
time to Mr.. Borah's interest, we pre-
dict that they will, with the steady
luiet and effective work being done
by the old line Republicans (Borah 4
friends, not only now but his friends
for years past) roll up a majority
for Mr.. Borah In this county thai
will be record-breaker. And while

this county, and what he has most
TO fear in this county: This paper

staunch friends and we believe We
are justified In saying that Mr.. DO
rah's greatest need Is to have the
people OF this county understand thai
they cannot vote for W. e. 30
rah on Election Day as they did In
the primaries; that there is one way
and one way ONLY that they car

Senate and that way Is by electint
a REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE
A vote for Worth s. Lee OF Noun
tain Home for Senator and a vote
fol Joseph Rosevear OF Glenns Ferry
for Representative, are votes for thu
return of w. Z. Borah to the United
States Senate. A vote for Dan kir
by of Atlanta and vote for Thomas
ONeil of Glenns Ferry, ~ vote'
to send a Democrat to the Unitet
States Senate instead of Mr.. Borah
What Mr.. Borah has most to Tea
is the effect of what seems to be
well laid plan to make the voters
believe that Mr.. Kirby and Mr.. o
Neil, If elected, would vote for Mr.
Borah. The statement has been per
sistently circulated that Mr.. kirb.
and Mr.. O'Neil have said that the.
admired Mr.. Borah--that they tho
he was the best man obtainable ant
would like to see him returned to tn
United Safes Senate; and they argu'
from that. that II they were elected
they would vote to return Mr.. DO
rah. We do not want to be under
stood as even implying that eithe
of the Democratic nominees eve
made the statement or anything lik'
it. AS to that we have no know
ledge whatever, but what we ~
want to have understood Is that ]
they DID say so, or even NOR
strongly express their preference 10
Mr.. Borah, it does not In the least
imply that they would vote for him
They could not vote for him TO-
Senator as against Democrat, NJ
matter what their personal feelings
toward Mr.. Broah might be, withou
sacrificing every particle OF theil
honor as men. II they are elected
they are elected as Democrats ant
they are in honor bound to carr!
out the Democratic principles ant
vote FOR a Democratic United
States Senator to carry out The
Democratic principles at Washington
regardless of their own private pref

primaries one Democratic aspiran
