SENATOR B0RAH GIVES

TO IDAHO FRIENDS

The valuable law library of Senator
Borah, which was, when he stopped
practicing law upon his election to the
United States senate, one of the larg-
est and most valuable in The state has
been divided and presented with the
compliments and best wishes of the
senator to a number of rising young
attorneys OF this city. The division
was made by Senator Borah due prin-
cipally to the fact that he wished to
give what assistance he could to those
following the law profession who have
been close personal friends, realizing
that the gifts would be of great as
sistance to them.
For the past five and one-half years,
or since Senator Borah has not been
actively engaged in the practice of
law, his valuable library has been
partly stored, partly loaned to friends.
and otherwise scattered. 1t was a
large one-the effort of years of prac-
tice-and of unusual value. Believing
that in it's condition the library might
not be Of material benefit to anyone
while, IL collected, it would unques-
tionably be Of great value to friends,
Senator Borah proceeded to gather 1t
and having accomplished this task, di-
vided it again and gave 1t away to the
attorneys who are numbered among
his personal friends. The gifts have
been greatly appreciated.

Caldwell, Nov. s.-Progressive state
Chairman j. H. Gipson. in an open let
ter. thanks Progressives OF idaho for
their loyal support and hearty CO.
operation. Mr.. GIBSON points out the
way to certain victory in the elections
two years hence and says the solution
Of the problem lies in the formation
of thorough organization. Mr.. Clip
son says in the letter:
I'VE have been beaten in Idaho. but
this campaign must be regarded as
only the opening skirmish of the bat
tie. The condition of affairs displayed
in the southeast, where the Progressive
vote was negligible, and the Demo-
cratic strength not much better. must
spur the workers in that section to
renewed efforts. We must make Idaho
Progressive as a whole, not Progressive
only in spots. The indications are
that we will sweep the north ana
southwest in two years, but I shall re-
gard our victory as incomplete until
the solid southeast has been broken
up and the good people Of that section
roll up Progressive majorities.
"A careful analysis Of the returns
by counties is not possible at this time.
The fact remains, however. that in
every precinct of the state, outside OF
the southeast, earnest work did the
business, and rolled up an enormous
vote for the Progressives. This brings
our problem in the state as whole
down to the mere question of organ
ization. One or two devoted, hard
working men in every precinct in the
state will make that precinct Pro-
gressive. AS an aid in forming an ef-
fective organization, in the 1914 cleo
tion we must have not only complete
state ticket in the field, but fully coun-
ty tickets. We must make no indorse-
ments, and no places on the ticket
should be left blank.
II hope that each of you will find
time to write me regarding conditions
fri your community and district.
want particularly to receive sugges-
lions as to the best plans for carry
ing on the work in the state until the
1914 election. My own suggestion is
that every Progressive in the state get
hold of the Evening Capital News,
published at Boise. This paper made
one of the greatest fights for our party
in the history of American journal
ism, and the credit for the showing
made in southern Idaho is due very
largely to the effort of r. S. Sheridan
its proprietor, and c. o. BroXon, its
editor. Without counting the cost, the
Capital News threw into the campaign
it's whole heart and soul. 1t took VI
the battle when the cause appeared
hopeless, and made the fight to the
end without faltering If we all TAKE
this paper, and read it carefully every
day. particularly BroXons magnificen
