Up till the present time the ma.
jority has been in harmonny. The
tariff and the currency bills pass

position, but now the question OF
repeal, OF the tolls exemption bill
has caused a break in the har-
mony OF Democracy. Speaker

President Wilson, h0wever seems
to have the leading Democratic

We do not anticipate any SER

County with good exhibit.
The Major waxed eloquent
over the multitudenous advant.
ages that good state exhibit
will be for our state. because of
the wide publicity given to it. as

ist but he is a practical man, and
Idaho is proud of Major Reed.
