greeted by the largest crowd of people
ever gathered at the Blackfoot depot,

Spokane, Sept. 13.-Leaders of the
Progressive movement in Idaho met
Yesterday in Spokane to confer with
Paul Clagstone, who was defeated for
the Republican nomination for COVER
nor at the recent primaries, and
urged him to accept the nomination
for governor on the Progressive
ticket. At the close Of the confer
ence Mr.. Clagstone flatly refused to
consider the nomination.
Almost simultaneously a movement
was started by the Progressive lead
er to induce United States Senator
Borah to accept the nomination for
governor.
Among those attending the meeting
were ]. H. Gibson Of Caldwell. Pro

Friday
The eleventh annual exhibit of the
Southeastern Idaho Fair closed in the
heaviest wind-storm that has visited
Blackfoot in some months. This day
had been set aside as the biggest day
of the fair, special races had been ar
ranged and numerous other events
booked for the day, but all was de-
clared off when the wind came, follow
ed by rain and fall in temperature.
Over six thousand people had assem-
bled on the grounds and had enjoyed
the exhibits, the fastest ball game Of
the season and a portion of the races,
when the entire gathering Joined in
one big race for shelter.
The balloon was partly inflated but
went down with the first gust of wind
and caused some commotion among
people and horses gathered near,
though no one was hurt. Next, the
top went off the merry-go-round and
put that out of commission. The wild
girl and the glass blowers tents were
also blown down but no material dam
age resulted.
Automobiles and vehicles of all de-
scriptions were kept busy for hours,
conveying the visitors to their homes
and hundreds, drenched with rain, had
to walk,-thus endeth the eleventh an
nual fair.
A complete list of the premium win
ners, thus far has been unobtainable
but with the cooperation of the super
|intendents of the several departments
i we will give them as near as possible

Wednesday was an ideal fair day
and everything went along without
hitch, Promptly at one o'clock the
stock parade went on and never dur
ing the history Of the fair association
has there been such a display Of fine
horses and cattle as the showing made
on that day. Stock that would have
been awarded blue ribbons and sweep
stakes in years gone by, were not con-
sidered within the prize lines this year,
In this department Bingham County
has won for herself an enviable repu-
tation and the prize winners Of the
eleventh annual exhibit are among the
best to be found anywhere.
The ball game was the next event,
Blackfoot VS.. Idaho Falls, and the for
mer took the honors by score OF 5
to 1.
The horse races were good and
every driver or rider was out for the
money and each and every horse was
made to do it's best. The bookies were
there but the people seemed to be
there for sport, and sport only, SO the
former did but little business.
The bucking contest offered consider
able amusement, the horses gaining
as much favoritism as the riders and
it was no easy matter for the judges
to decide who the prizes should fall to-
Only one rider was thrown, but it was
the universal opinion that that was
nothing new to him.
On Thursday like conditiond pre-
vailed, the weather was fine and {
larger crowd was in attendance thar
on the proceeding days.
The ball game between the nortl
and south ends Of the county was pla
ed between Riverside and Shelley. th'

The races were faster than yester

Let Us Claim Our Birthright

For 50 years we have eaten in the
political kitchen. Consistently, we have
waxed cheerful when denied even the
dubious privilege of the second table.
And to-day, when the clock Of destiny
strikes, when the door OF opportunity is
wide ajar, when the North actually lives
up to that prophetic utterance in the
Senate Of Ben Hill, I'VE are back in the
house Of our fathers, and we are here to
stay, thank Coda few of US are still
biushing and stammering, still wearing
political sackcloth and ashes, still up to
the old easy mark game of doing all
the drudgery, with none of the cakes
and alel Let's end this disgraceful
farce! We furnish, have long furnished,
the electoral votes, the powder and shot.
the munitions, Of the Democratic party.
Let's assert those equal rights and priv
leges as American citizens, as the re-
malndcr Of the nation fratcrnaIly bids
us TO do. Let's cease the qualification
of informing the nation, by our actions,
that we cannot bring forth a man capa-
bic for the presidency. For the sec
tional c%owardice, here and there mani
tested, is equivalent to that shameful
and ungrounded admission.-The Can

AIaba
Candidate

Mr., Underwood's service to the coun-
try during nine terms in the National
House Of Representatives has been most
distinguished, and has made his name a
household word in the homes Of the
people. For more than 70 years he has
been in the very front of his party's
battle line, a leader from his youth. and
ever faithful to his party's principles
and candidates. No Democrat can find
a flaw in his political record no charge
OF dcscrtion in any campaign; no acct
sation of serving special interests can
lie against him.
His congressional colleagues respect
him for his sincerity, his high sense OF
honor, his sagacity and his acknowl-
edged ability, and this in itself is an
iutalIiblc proof Of his merit, for none
know so well the capabilities of a
statesman as those who have served
many years with him and noted his
conduct in days of peace and those Of
political storm-CiRtUmdii Enquirer,

A FALSE POSITION

Rumors generally believed to have
emanated from the camps of men who
either are or have been considered as
Democratic presidential possibilities, that
Mr.. Underwood, of Alabama, could not
command the support of the North be-
cause Of the fact that he is a South
crner, are not only p~oppycock, pure and
simple, but they place the men of the
North in a false position in the eyes
of the people of the South and tend to
revive sectional feeling which has been
buried for many years. The effects Of
such rumorS are nil in the North be-
cause the people of the North know they
have not one iota of truth, but people
the South are apt to take them more
seriously, and there is where they may
prove harmful, not only because of their
tendency to cause dissatisfaction on the
part Of Southern Democrats, but be-
cause Of the effect they may have in
rise to sectional prejudice through
false representations of conditions which
do not exist, No N~ortherner would
hesitate to support Mr.. Underwood be-
cause he comes from the South.-The

UNDERWOOD THE TAN

We have been h~umbugged and scared
off long enough by the bogy of North
ern prejudice against a Southern candi-
date. Underwood stands for just those
things which recent Northern MAORI
ties have declared they want-a revi-
sion of the tariff downward and the
destruction of special privilege. His
qualities OF leadership have been tested
and approved. In his personality he
is solid, clean and sane, with the cour-
age of a fighter and the c~lairvoyance of
a true reformer, and if the South pre-
sents him as her candidate and the party
ratihes her choice this fine, strong char
acter of a new day in our annals will
catch both the sentiment and the sober
