appealed to for their influence in get

the absence OF such concessions in

NV dear FIoed: Shortly after the

on his nomination as the democratic

No matter how widely we jail may
have differed in the past on local or
minor issues. we are all united now
ON the one real and vital issue before
the people, that is the endorsement
of the wise, just, and patriotic an
ministration of President Wilson.
1t is of the very greatest impor-
tapce that Idaho should elect at inns
time a democratic Senator and TWO
members OF congress Of the same po'
litical faith, who will Loyalty support
the ZION of our great pres
ident. We know, from past exper-
ience, that republican delegation
in congress will oppose ary measure

and his party. Even the brilliant
Senator Borah, after ably advocating
an income.tax amendment to the con
titntion. was too much OF politlc
