BORAH FOR PRESIDENT
Senator Brady Launches Boom For
ul.Ei Idaho Senator.

Senator Borah of Idaho was brought
out as candidate for the presidency
Tuesday by his colleague, Senator
Brady, at luncheon given in Senator
Brady's honor by the Boise CONNER
clal club. The bare mention of Sena-
tor Borah as a presidential candidate
brought forth storm of applause.
Senator Brady fastened to assure his
audience that 1t was not a visionary
conclusion he had reached about SEN
ator Borah's chances, but a conclu-
sion founded on what he had learned
OF his colleagues standing at Wash
ington.
Il am convinced from what have
seen and heard at Washington" said
Senator Brady, that the Republican
party will nominate as it's candidate
Tor the presidency a man who has
gained signal recognition for honesty,
uprightness and capability.
Il hear the leading men in the poll
tcal life of the nation comparing SEN
ator Borah with LaFollette, Cummins
ana wilson. | am not saying that
Senator Borah will be our next presi-
dent, but | do say that if we will all
get behind him and boost, as we say
mere in the west, that he stands the
best chance of any man in public life
today OF being the next president of
United States''
Almost hundred business and pro-
1esslonal men were present at the
luncheon. but at this statement from
Senator Brady the company broke out
in a round of cheering and applause
that would have been a noble effort

The launching of the Borah boom
came as the peroration to a short but
pointed address made by the senator.
In the course of his talk he outlined

BIG CIRCu HERE OCT. A
Great Array Of Wild AnimaIs-Many
Sensational Features.

The al G. Barnes Big 3-Ring Wild
Animal Circus will exhibit in Twin
Falls, Saturday, October 4, presenting
two performances, and mile long
four-band street parade, at 1920.
Much can be said about the origin
ality and genuine merit of the Barnes
show. There is all the pomp and
splendor of the circuses we have
shown in the past. There is the grand
entry of performers and animals; all
the tinsel, glitter and inspiring music.
The peanut boys and the lemonade
vendors, who cry their wares add to
the general good feeling. Yet, when
the performance starts, one instantly
recognizes it's wide departure from
the conventional and stereotyped rou-
tine which has prevailed since the
earliest days of tented amusemeHts
Instead of the usual, one sees the
very unusual in the acts displayed
The principal acts are done by ami
mails in two rings, and big steel
barred arena. These animal actors
number over $50, and are trained to
an amazing proficiency Such vim and
dash do they put into their work that
not a dull moment is experienced from
the grand cavalcade entry until the
final group of man-eating lions are
driven to their cages.
There are acrobats, jugglers, aerial
performers, high divers, bare back rid
ers and all other features which, for
years have made the circus the most
popular form of amusement But. in
stead of people appearing in these
roles, trained wild and domestic ami
mails take their places Lions, bears
and leopards ride pracing horses; sea-
lions juggle billiard balls while on the
backs of galloping horses; dogs and
monkeys jump from the top of the tent
into nets; elephants stand on their
heads; groups of Shetland ponies do
chorus-girl dances and drills, and on
and on.
That is why this Barnes circus
ranks as "The Show That's Different" /"
