GOOD ROADS BONDS DEFEATED.

Complete returns from all pre-
cincts in Ada county show that the
100000 bond issue for good roads
failed to carry by just 81 votes, says
the Capital News of yesterday Yes
terday the returns in showed that but
l5 votes were needed to carry the is
sue and hope was held out that the
country precincts not yet heard from
and which would receive direct bene-
fit by the bonds carrying would pro-
duce the necessary number to provide
Tor the issuing of the bonds. High
land was the first missing precinct in
this morning. IL registered eight
votes against the bonds. Mora pre-
cinct, where the Oregon Short Line
pays over 70 per cent of the taxes,
was next with Is votes cast and ali
against the bonds. Grandyiew show
ed nine for and one against. Owy-
nee, five for and three against. The
total number of votes cast for the is
sue was 1434 while 763 voters voted
against the issue and thus the requir-
ed two-thirds majority needed was
lacking by 81 votes.
The vote was an exceedingly light
one and great disappointment to
the commissioners, all of whom de-
clared they would rather have seen
the bonds lost by 1000 votes and had
a more general expression of the SEN
timent OF the voters than to see such
light vote cast on so important
matter.

Decreased Consumption OF Beer.

During the first eight months of
the fiscal year 1914-1915 the pro-
duction of beer in the United States
has decreased more than three mil
lion barrels. The cause of this enor-
nous decrease, where under normal
conditions an increase would have
been only natural, is assigned by some
to the increase of prohibition terri
tory;an this is true to some extent. ;"

FRED DUBOIS SAYS
BORAH IS THE MAN

Former Senator Fred T. Dubois |
spent several days the past week at |
Twin Falls. In discussing the politi- |
cal outlook along general lines the
senator is quoted by the Twin Falls
News as follows:
President Wilson will be renomi-
mated by the democrats, and the re-
publicans viii find difficulty in selec-
ton of candidate who will stand
any chance of defeating him. The
country'is is progressive. It will not
allow any backward step in its pro-
gressive demands. The primary law,
direct election of senator's, and other
progressive legislation will not only
remain, but other laws giving the
people more direct power and control
will be enacted. President Wilson
is a general progressive and is trust
ed by the progressives Of all parties,
and the republicans must nominate
some one, concerning whose progress
siveness there is not the slightest
doubt. The last election, in which
Col. Roosevelt received more elector-
al and individual votes than Presi-
dent Taft, made the progressive de-
mands of the voters so plain, that
the Republican party will not be fool
hardy enough to overlook It so soon.
"A reactionary candidate against
President Wilson would not fare
much better than President Taft did.
They will not attempt to deceive the
people by nominating a reactionary.
disguised as progressive. It is a
logical assumption that they will
nominate a progressive, and that
they will endeavor to select one whom
the reactionaries will support in pre-
ference o President Wilson. In
other words it is fair assumption
that the republican reactionaries,
who control the party and who will
determine its nominee, will prefer
their own party progressive, to the
democratic progressive. They would
have a fighting chance TO elect their
progressive and none at all to elect
q reactionary, in fact or in disguise
In looking for an available pro-
gressive candidate for the republi
cans, Senator Borah looms the larg
est.
He is popular in the east and mid
die west. The fact that he comei
? from a small state on the Pacific
coast does not make much difference
