NEEDS A sCoREKEEPER.

The chief trouble with the war is
that they need an official scorekeeper.
They dump in all the runs, errors, hits,
men on bases and double plays with
out giving the reader much of an
idea how the game really is going.
just as the Kaiser's Sox seem to have
the game coming right, in comes a
missing inning and changes the score.
Someone should undertake the job
of official scorer Of this war, and then
we could begin betting on the result
of the series.

In his race for the Republican GU

is gaining ground every day. There
is feeling among the rank and file
that to nominate John NJ. Haines is
to invite, if not insure, defeat at the
polls in November. But there is no
lack Of confidence in NJ E. Lewis's
ability to win in the election. The
reason of this is that he stands for
definite economic and business prin-
ciples; that he is sincere in his advo-
cacy Of them, and that he possesses
the courage and ability to champion
them. Mr.. Lewis is deserving of the
entire Republican vote Of the Payette
valley He should have it. The con-
test promises to close one. Every
vote will count. Don't fail to vote

true of the candidates. of f. X. Hayes
for state senator and F, c. Berry for
representative. 1t has been good
many years since the Payette valley
had candidate for senator. Canyon
county has never had a candidate
more able or trustworthy. Both he
and Mr.. Berry stand squarely on the

are in favor Of statewide pro-

Both of them are opposed to county
division and will work and vote
against division as long as there is
any hope to defeat it. The Index is

these two gentlemen know they will
