j. s. FARMERS
HURT BY
TARIFF
Equal Protection With Amerl.
can Manufacturers De-
manded.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 23.-
Henry N. Pope president of the asso-
citation of state farmers union presi-
dents issued a statement today i'll
pamphlet form to members of the
union pointing out determinations in
the Underwood tariff against the agri-
cultural interests and favoring pro-
lection on all farm products and de-
manding a revision of the tariff so
that the farmers will not be compelled
to sell i'm q free market and buy in a
protected one.
In discussing the subject the head of
the union said:
''The effects of the Underwood tariff
act is 10 protect capital and labor EN-
gagged i'm manufacturing and to expose
to world competition capital and Ia
Dor engaged in production. 1t Is per-
haps the most antagonistic expression
congress ever made toward the agrl-
cultural interests of this nation and
4 had not the European war arrested It's
operation would have wrought disas-
| ter to the farmers of the country.

NEW SURVEY COMPLETED TO
SOUTH FORK BRIDGE.

q. s. Surveyor Calkins of the For
eStry department at Missoula, complet-
ed the new survey for the South Fork
road the first of the week, from Mt.
Idaho to the bridge, a distance of be-
tween II and 13 miles. This survey
follows the old road only a short dis
tance, then bears to the northeast,
striking the Clearwater river between
three and four miles above the Dewey
mine. From there it follows the river
bank up to the bridge. The distance
Is increased somewhere between three
and four miles by the new survey, but
far better grade is secured, there be
ing no point on the line over six per
cent. and that only occurring at one
place. 1t is expected that this will be
cut down by change in the line.
Engineer Calkins will now make a
reconnaissance of the proposed line of
road from the river up to Elk City and
VIII then be in a position to make a
reasonable estimate of the cost of con-
struction of the full length of road
from Mt. Idaho to Elk City, to the
Forest department which he is repre-
senting.
This road is of vast importance to
the miners, the settlers. the govern
ment and to all the prairie and river
country. 1t will open up a world OF
wealth in mineral, timber, agriculture
ana grazing and connect it with the
outside world, and will reduce the cost
10 the government in the carrying OF
its mails in sum sufficient to pay
LOT the cost of the construction of this
road In the course of a few years.

No Solution From American
Mexican Commission
Seems Possible.
VACATE MEXICO CITY
Stampede to Villa on First
Blow-General Trevino
to Evacuate.

Washington, October 25.-Conditions
In northern Mexico revolving on the
new ascendancy of Villa as a military
leader are commanding more attention
than at any other time since the bor
der raids which resulted in the de-
spatch of the American punitive expe-
dition.
Administration officials made no
effort tonight to disguise their opinion
that the American Mexican commits
sion sitting at Atlantic City cannot be
expected to arrive at a satisfactory
solution of border problems until the
situation in Chihuahua has been clari
fed. Any agreement for the early with
drawal of General Perishing's army
from Mexico apparently is considered
now as out of the question.
Moreover, the impression stood out
clearly from all the views expressed
that while the present situation exists
there is little possibility that the fore
es of regulars or national guardsmen
on the border will be reduced. 1t was
Indicated that no chances would be
taken of another raid into American
territory.
Coupled with the ugly reports which
disparage the stability of General Car
ranza's regime and interpret his re
moval from Mexico City to QueretarC
as a sign of the breaking up process
which his enemies have repeatedly pre-
dicted, the military movements of Wills
now making a formidable campaign il
Chihuahua, are regarded here as men
acing the de facto governments contro
of the whole northern country.
Reports forwarded by Major Gen
eral Funston, said General Treyino ha(
privately advised many officials in Chi
huahua to leave the city. Trevino ha'
sent his own family out of the countr,
and he prepared a special train for OF
fcials which he guarded with militar,
troops in expectation of an attack b,
the Villa bands.

LIVELY INTEREST SHOWN in ALL PRECINCTS
Party Workers Active for Success of Whole Ticket from Next
President Charles Evans Hughes down to Precinct
Officers Indications Point to Sweeping Victory

The political history of Idaho coun-
ty does not record a campaign year in
which the Republican party has gone
before the voters of the county with
a stronger lineup of substantial, we'll

offices than in the present campaign.
The workers in the G. o. p. ranks
are especially proud of the ticket in
the field this year and all over the
county, from the largest precincts in
Grangeville down to the smallest voting
precinct in the county, the friends of
Hughes and the Republican party are
putting their best efforts forward in
order to insure the election of the
whole county ticket.
This is not an idle campaign boast.
The records at the court house where
the official ballots have just been deliv-

VICTORY In
NOVEMBER
Correspondents Estimate Re
publican Success Without
New York or Ohio.

WASHINGTON. oct 21.-A group
of the older and more skilled Washing
ton correspondents, representing New
York, Philadelphia and Boston news
papers, today consolidated their infor-
nation as to the probable outcome of
the election, whereby they figured it
out that, eliminating New York and
Ohio from consideration. Hughes will
have 26S electoral votes, two more than
enough To elect.
BY no means do they eoncede that
New York and Ohio are lost to the
republican candidate; quite to the con
trary, at least as to New York, but
Ohio Is really regarded as doubtful by
the unprejudiced. All information is
for a republican victory in New York.
States Sure for Hughes.
The states which all of the group
agree, from information from commit
tees as we'll as from extensive private
sources, will 90 for Hughes total DOC
electoral votes as follows:
California, Connecticut, Idaho, iii
nois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachu
setts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana
New Hampshire, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
4 Island South Dakota, Utah, Vermont
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Claims that Illinois, Michigan anC
Wisconsin are for Wilson or at leas
doubtful, are disposed of by reports
of careful investigation among tn
voters in these states that belle earle
alarmist reports.
Indiana i'm List.
Indiana is disputed by some, but tn
majority Of the group maintain tina
the most trustworthy reports shov
that Indiana, with Is votes, is sure TO
Hughes, so for tabular purposes thos
10 votes are added. BY a similar ma
jority opinion New Jersey, Delaware
West Virginia ana Nebraska, with
total of 33, were added to the Hughe
column, making up the 26S.
Would Win Without New York.
While not in agreement as to ind
. vidual states, all agreed as to thi
figure, some arriving at it by differer
grouping. New York's 40 votes al

any possible errors, and if Ohio ado

Chicago - The Railway Workers
Non-partisan association, which is said

nounced its opposition to the Adamson
eight-hour law. Through its national
chairman, w. ]. PiDkerton of Chicago,

the Adamson eight-hour law is describ-
ed as "the death knell of the economic

hoods" and demand was made that
the measure be repealed and a conven-
ton called to make an investigation OF
the facts.

First among the county candidates
