PROGRESS OF CAMPAIGN.

PROGRESS OF CAMPAIGN.
BOISE, October Ex-Governor Haines
and Attorney General Peterson return
ed to the state capital Saturday from
their campaign trip to southeastern
points and left again Monday morning
10 finish their campaign in southern
Idaho. They will be in northern Idaho
lall of next week. They had good
houses wherever they went, notwith-
standing wet weather. Much of their
trip was covered by automobiles To
accommodate two or three steps a day
en- route.
Senator Brady arrived from his trip
north on Monday morning and went
at once to Star, where he spoke Mon
day evening. Senator Brady was Civ
en- a royal welcome III the north and re-
i ports that the campaign is well in
hand in the northern counties. and
that all OF them can be counted safely
in the Republican fold. Senator Brady
will spend the present week in central
Idaho, closing trip at Glenns Ferry
next Monday night which will have
embraced Parma, Cambridge, Council
sPayette, Weiser, Middleton and Cald-
well.
State Chairman George A. Day re
turned Saturday from trip to north
raoLa o-7 ,.-.- j., o~oe,,1+a4i,r
with several of the northern leaders
He is optimistic concerning the out
look in the north. There is no douot
of Republican success at the polls ali
along the line" said he. There IS
one thing, though, that all party work
ers must bear in mind and that is to
get the vote out. idaho will go l2.OjO
Republican if the Republican vote IS
gotten out in every precinct. I am lay
ing particular stress upon getting the
vote out and hope every loyal Republ
lican in the state will make himself
a committee of one to see that the
vote gets to the polls on election day.
Former Governor Hawley, in an adj
dress at Occur d'Alene on the LIST inst.
is unfair in q statement reflective on
the federal appropriations for Idaho
Mr.. Hawley said:
MY friends. we want our share
when it comes to the distribution of the
contents of this pork barrel which
every two years is distributed among
the various states, and we never have
had it yet. The only way that we will
ever get it is to have intelligent, capa-
bic men in the two houses of congress
who are thoroughly in sympathy with
the majority of these two houses and
with the national administration, then
we will have that share likewise com
ing to US. Ny fellow citizens, some Of
you may think that am mistaken in
-his statement that we have not had
our share. What have we had? Dur
ing the time since statehood we have
had but one federal building erected
in the entire state of Idaho and that
is in Boise City, and it is just about
half big enough to accommodate the
business Of the United States in that
city alone, and that is the only APP
preparation that has been made
It seems almost impossible that a
public man in a position to know the
truth should make so glaring ar
error. Is it possible that Governor
Hawley does not know that public
buildings are now under course Of
/. construction at Pocatello and Idaho
Falls? Can Mr. Hawley be so ignor-
ant of the affairs Of Senator Brady's
efforts and that after a long and hard
fight with the supervising architect
the use Of Idaho stone and timbers
were adopted for use in the construc-
: ton of the Idaho Falls and Pocatello
public buildings?
Doesn't Mr.. Hawley know that Sen
ator Brady has personally introduced
bills for the erection of public build
ings at Payette and Blackfoot? Does
he not know that bills authorizing
public buildings at Twin Fails, Occur
d'Alene and Standpoint have been
passed and that plans for the con-
struction Of the Occur dAlene build
ing are now being drawn by the SUI
pervising architect? Does he not
know that Senator Brady's present
important committee assignments in
the senate have secured immediate
consideration of bills introduced for
public buildings at all the places spec
fled?
We do not believe that Mr.. Hawley
has purposely prevaricated but he
