CAN'T HOLD GOOD TIMES BACK.

Republican calamity howlers are
routed all along the line. They tried
hard to work up panic for the cam
paign. They planned to wide back in
to power on the cry Of Democratic
Hard Times,' but alas! and aleck!
The republican bosses have lost con-
troll. Hard times refuse to come at
their bidding. On the contrary, pros
perity is here.
Here is sample.
F. H. Parsons, cashier of the Pacific
National Bank of Boise, after reading
in Dunn 8 weekly report of the signi-
ficant growth of business confidence in
the country, gave an interview to The
Statesman, the republican stand.pat
organ, in which he said that: ''During
the past two or three weeks he left
better over financial conditions than
since last March; every day he saw
indications which proved conclusively
the period of retrenchment and liquida-
ton, uncertainty and hesitancy was
slowly but surely fading into the past.
In his opinion the placing of tremen-
dous orders in this country from the
old country could not help but have a
stimulating effect upon business gener-
ally. He cited on order which was re-

on this section, and that was an order
for 5000 artillery and cavalry horses
given a Canadian firm, whose agents
have come into this state to partially
fill the order by purchases. He said
one of the leading business men of
Portland told him he had just made a
trip through the wheat belt and found
60 per cent of this years crop had
been marketed and the farmers had re-
ceiyed their money, with prices rang
ing from 25 to so cents more this wear
than last year.
Coming still closer to home Mr.. Par
sons said last week Is to 20 families
from eastern Utah had moved into the
Grandview and Bruneau section, had
purchased farms and begun to make
ready for next's years crops. More
families from the same portion of Utah

TIE GAME
WORK OF ROBINSON ATHLETIC
DIRECTOR SHOWS UP sPLEND-
IDLY IN FOOTBALL TEAM
PLAY IS GAME SATURDAY
The Visiting Team Outweighed the
Local Team-Grangeville Boys Over
come This With Good Playing.

A good crowd witnessed the football
game between Grangeville and the Nez-
perez High School teams at the ball
park last Saturday, the game starting
about 2 O'Clock. The game opened with
Grangeville defending her own goal and
receiving the kickoff. Nezperce scor-
ed touchdown in the first quarter
after few minutes of play but failed
to kick goal and the score stood 60 in
favor of the visitors. No more points
were made in the first quarter although
the ball was in Grangeville territory
most of the time.
Grangeville had the best of it in the
second quarter and threatened the Nez-
perez goal several times the ball being
in their territory during most of the
quarter but they managed to hold
Grangeville scoreless until the whistle
blew closing the first half.
In the second half Grangeville played
with added vigor and in short time
Leonard went over the line TO touch
down. In the kick out the boy who
caught the ball started from the place
of the catch and Grangeville was de-
prived Of the privilege of kicking goal
and for that reason the game was tied
and stood GO at the end of the third
quarter.
The balance of the game Grangeville
managed to keep the ball in Nezperce
territory most of the time and only
once was the Grangeville goal in dan
ger and this was soon reversed the local
boys turning the advantage and rush
ing the pigskin towards the other goal.
1t looked as If Granville would score
blew closing the game.
Grangeville played splendid football
considering their short experience but
were much lighter than the Nezperce
bunch. What they lacked in weight
they made up for in good headwork and
some splendid plays which gained for
them every time. They followed the
ball and spotted the runner without
fail. They were fairly good in tackling
but poor in interference in which the
visitors excelled. Nezperce was slow
in getting off in their plays and were
thrown for a loss several times on this
account. Grangeville had fairly good

heartily contratulate you and hope you
may be successful. Your long residence
in the west and our thorough know
ledge of public land matters and other
problems that are peculiar to that part
OF the country make your election par
tieularly appropriate. Then, too, the
president deserves a vote of endorse
ment from the country for his unpar-
alleled labors during the past year and
a half, AMI the only way he can receive
such an endorsement is by having men
who believe in him and his policies,
such as yourself, sent to his support.
Cordially yours,
\ FRANKLIN X. LANE.
Hon. James H. Hawley, Boies, Idaho
Among the public men whom Cover.
nor Hawley met in Washington was As.
sistant Attorney General Samuel J.
Graham, recognized as one of the fore.
most lawyers and public men of the
nation. Mr. Graham joins in the appeal
for the election of Hawley to the
senate, as follows:
Samuel j. Graham, Assistant Attor.
ney General, Department of Justice
Washington, d. c., October II, 1914.
Ny Dear Mr.. Hawley: / wish to ex.
press to you the great interest which /
personally feel in your election to the
senate, not only because I think ii
would be great advantage to the
country to have the benefit of your ex.
perience and ability, but because your
election involves an endorsement of the
wise and business like administration of
PRESIDENT Wilson. In view of the unset.
tied condition of affairs abroad and the
emlnence upon which the President s
peace policy has placed this conn.
try, the endorsement of his administra.
ton ceases to be narrow partisan
question and becomes patriotic duty
in order that his powerful influence for
good may not be weakened by the
charge that he has not the confidence
OF his own cOuntrymen.
With renewed assurance of nv HIGH
esteem, believe me to be,
Sincerely and cordially.
