the error of their way and returning
to the old reliable party?
Primary returns from Oregon were
the most severe blow yet administer
ed to the hopes of those progressives
who still harbor the belief that they,
and their cause, are supreme and
cling to the desire to again elect dem
ocratic state and national administra-
tions. Oregon was the "only original
and genuine" progressive state. 1t
was the center of all the new tangled
ideas in government. Oregon was the
goat as it were on which all the new
theories and issues were tried on. AL
most every state which suffered the
political fever which swept over the
country turned its gaze toward Ore
gon and pinned its faith to the laws
of that commonwealth. Its laws serv-
ed as the examples for most of the
others. The panacea for all the all
ments came from there. Oregon was
the brightest star in the armament
of progressive hopefuls and the re-
ioiHheTS WIN, lihc tHelT great leader,
saw by changing our systems of gov
ernment some small opportunity of
getting into Office.
But like all fake medicines, these
failed. Oregon certainly gave them
patient and thorough trial. And then
she got tired of it. On the first op-
portunity, last week, she decided to
change and resume the old form with
the result that the progressive candi-
dates ran poor third in the primary
nominations. The republican candi-
dates stood first.
The reason is plain. Oregon has
had enough of the reforms of the rad
icals and theorists, and the natural
consequence follows, a return of vot-
ers to the ranks of the party which
has stood through fifty years for gen.
uine progress and prosperity.

elable condition its entire length and
special attention is being given to it
in every community through which it
runs.
On the Santa Fe Grand Canyon
Needles section which was adopted at
the 1913 convention as the western
link of this road an immense amount
Of work has been done during the past
year, one place deserving of special
mention being the desert stretch from
Needles to Barstow, Calf, which has
been put in such condition that an or
dinary car can negotiate this 160
miles in 8 or 9 hours.
A. l.. Westgard, the noted automo-
bile traveller said that from a climatic
standpoint this road would be open
twice as many days in the year as any
other projected transcontinental road.
The interest taken in this move
ment by the ladies was manifested by
the active participation in the conven-
tion Dy Miss Elizabeth Butler Gentry
and Mrs. Milton Welsh of Kansas City
and Mrs. Called S. Denny of Indian
apolis, representatives of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, and
Miss Grace Julian Clark of Indian
apolis, representing the Women's
clubs; also the State Suffragette con-
vention in session sent over resolu-
tions of commendation.
The resolutions reiterated the ap-
probation of this association for the
services rendered the cause by the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton; called on congress to redeem the
plighted faith of the government by
rebuilding the Old National Road;
called attention to the fact that Ma

the Commerce Clause of the constitu-
ton; approved the action of the COM
mittee in cooperating with the Ma

phasis on the fact that while organ

The Crangeville Commercial
Body Favors Helping
Livestock Show.
A WORTHY INDUSTRY
Senator e. S. Sweet, the New
Livestock President, Tells the
Body of Pressing Needs.

The Grangeville Commercial club at
its Wednesday luncheon took up with
vigor and enthusiasm the matter OF
assisting Lewiston and the state of
Idaho in retaining and decently main
tanning the great Northwest Livestock
show which has now, with private ef-
- and backing, reached such mag
nificent propositions and high standing
as to be sought after by prominent
cities of other states as their very own.
Senator E. s. Sweet. Of Idaho county,
the newly elected president Of the big
stock show. met with his fellow cfti-
zens at the Commercial club meeting
Wednesday, and clearly presented to
them the history. the benefits. and the
reeds of the stock show at this time.
The Northwest Livestock show as 1t
new exists, was organized in Grange
vile some five years ago by the ANAL
gamation Of two organizations of SINH
lar purpose and aim into the one body
which took tie new name Of the North
west Livestock show. Realizing that
the success of the new organization
would require the help and hearty CO.
operation of the leading stock raisers
and breeders of Washington and Mon
tana. as well as Idaho, and that to
gain this support a more central loca-
ton would be necessary, the citizens
of Grangeville and the stockmen of
Idaho county cheerfully entered into
the proposal to locate the show at
Lewiston. where the railroad facilities
we're better and they have stood by it
loyalty ever since.
The show has taken on such proper
tions and the financial demands have
become SO heavy that even Lewiston
Is finding 1t a heavy task to keep UP
| with the procession and meet the in
| creasing demands consequent upon the
phenominal growth OF the organization
and there is no reason why that little
city should be required to bear alone
| the responsibilities entailed.
The show Is of inestimab1e value
to the entire state Of Idaho In the
material advancement of the stock in
dustry as we'll as to Washington, Ore.

states are ready and willing to assist

is due to the fact that in the street

frost. That unpleasant condition, how
ever, is being remedied as rapidly al
possible.
