Walper for preaching politics. During the psstorate of MT. Cushman there was a time when there was no one to manipulate the heavy bow, and the big viol stood in the pew just back of the Capt. Oliver Holt pew, directly under the long stoveplpe, which at that time was in the center of the church. It was there when the church was struck by lightning one summer Sunday after noon, and young man names Nelson Holt received . severe shook, that I presume you have heard your husband speak of. That double bass viol was clumsy affair, but the tone of it was as good as that of the more modern instruments, and your uncle Joshua did just enjoy 1t. I have no flea " hat ever became of 1t. In the later years, when the first smelodeon was purchased. 1t made a good deal of a rumpus, especially with Sam Stone, who left the choir. of which he had been a member for years. on account of it, saying he wanted no machine music.

Uncle Amos Preston and Uncle Hosea were not always the best of friends, and I remt mber at one time Uncle Hosea was so sevare in his language that being provoked in spirit he had spoken unadvised with his lips, and so con- fessed to the church.

ELECT DELEGATES BY

FRENCH AS A PROGRESSIVE
FAVORS UNITED STATE PARTY
Third Party in Idaho Would Mean Not Only Loss of the
State But the Retirement of
Senator Borah

For Idaho to refuse to return
BOrah to the senate upon this
record would be a calamity and
a disgrace. idaho has failed to
see nominated her choice for pres
ident and third party would
mean nothing but defeat for her
great senator.
Il believe that most effective
service in Idaho for progressive
republicans will lie in upholding
progressive politics within the
party and working as never be-
fore for the election of Senator
BOrah.
This is my own purpose, and !
believe thereby | can do the
greatest good.
"BURTON L. FRENCH.
State Auditor S. d. Taylor, un-
til recently prominently mention
ed as republican candidate for
governor, also says:
Answering your inquiry as to
what would be my attitude in the
event of the organization of a
progressive party in Idaho, |
would say in the most emphatic
language possible that | would
continue my allegiance to the re-
publican party and its nominees.
There are no important principles
upon which the republicans of
this state are divided and the per-
sonalities that now divide them
will not prevent all from uniting
in future campaigns. 1t would,
therefore. be folly to turn the
state over to the democrats at
this time, as would result from ii
third party movement of any mag
nitude.
Chairman Heitman, Senator
Borah and other party leaders
are making every possible effort
for harmony, even to the sacri-
flee of their own personal views,
and all loyal republicans should
emulate their example. My per-
sonal opinion is that Idaho re-
publicans will present solid
front in November.

WILSON ON THE
46TH BALLOT
The Hound Dog Was Can
ned" by Wilson and Bryan
After a Long Chase.

On Tuesday of this week,
Woodrow Wilson, the New Jersey
pedagogue and pronounced pro
gressive, was nominated over
Champ Clark and the rest of the
field by the democratic conven-
ton at Baltimore on. the 46th
ballot, the most prolonged effort
in the history of the country.
The fight was long and bit
ter one, failing little short OF
the Chicago convention in the
latter respect, and the final re-
suits favorable to Mr.. Wilson
were brought about through the
good offices of Mr.. Bryan, who
made bitter fight against Clark
charging him with receiving aid
and comfort from Murphy and
his Tammany braves, which he
said no consistent progressive
could do. Clark had helped the
reactionary forces organize the
convention in opposition to Bryan
and his progressives, and Mr.
Bryan paid him back with inter.
est for his double dealing with
him.
No man who opposed Mr.. Bry-
an could have been nominated in
the Baltimore convention, for he
dominated it as fully as he did
the Denver convention, and nc
man ever threw the harpoon deep
er into his opponents than did
Mr.. Bryan into his New York
and southern states enemies. He
called them on to the carpet sin
gle and by name and after flay'
ing them rubbed the burning salt
into their wounds. Yet some o1
his democratic opponents insist
that he is dead. He is the livest
most dominant figure in the demo
cratic party today, not excepting
Woodrow Wilson, the man ht
has just nominated.
Governor Marshall, of In
diana was nominated for vice
president.

BLOOMER GIRLS

Manager c. A. Johnston has
Secured the Boston Bloom

The Bloomer Girls have contract

mediations of the Spokesman Re
view office that Mr.. Johnston
succeeded in landing this great

This game should draw visitors

A communication from Con-
gresham Burton l.. French has
been received, which expresses
his views on Idaho conditions and
his position as progressive. Mr.
French emphatically declares he
will continue a staunch progress
sive, but believes a third party
in Idaho would mean only the
retirement of Senator Borah from
public life. For this reason, he
says, he has determined to up
hold progressive politics within
the party" Mr.. French says:
Prior to the Chicago conven-
tiion as progressive republican
| labOred earnestly for the nom
nation of Roosevelt or some other
progressive president. We were
defeated, and the question that
now confronts us is, shall our fu-
ture course be within the ranks
of the republican party?
1.-The three votes of Idaho in
the electoral college probably will
not determine the election of a
president, and in this respect a
third party could serve the pur-
pose only of registering a pro
test against the action of the Chi
cago convention and nothing
would be gained. On the other
hand. the election of United State
senator is at stake, and the elec-
ton of Senator Borah, in my opin-
ion, is overshadowed only by the
election of a president.
Senator Borah is a progress
sive and the republican party of
Idaho is progressive. To senator
Borah, more than any other man,
is due the credit for the passage
of the children s bureau law, the
$20,000,000 bond issue for reclaim
alton work, the three-year home
stead act, and, greatest Of all, the
amendment to the constitution
providing for the election of
United States senator's by popular
vote. In his work alone Senator
Borah has accomplished more
than most senators accomplished
in lifetime.

COMMENDS THE PLAY.

was given Wednesday evening at
the hall by the Grangeville home
talent was well received and was
greeted by a crowded house
The play was fully up to the best
that has visited here for some
time and drew rounds of applause
at frequent intervals. The girl
chorus feature was excellent and
the take-offs on the base ball
players drew much laughter. We
understand the troupe did quite
well financially. The dance after
the play was well attended and
thoroughly enjoyed.-Cottonwood

Not content with lnvestlgat- ing the steel and sugar trusts, the Democratic House seems entirely serious in contemplat- ing taking up the suggestion of MT. Lindburg of Minnesota, who demands that the money trust including Wall Street, be made the subject of sweeping inquiry. 50 far 1t IS clear that the numerous in- vestigations have not been productive, and if the larger field of the Wall Srteet houses of great and frenzied finance are to be tackled, 1t IS fair to wonder ill advance just how much the average Congress man may be able to tell about what he finds when he gets through.
