II Is noticeable that the Progress
| i've leaders in Idaho four years ago
have all returned to the republican
party. Guy Martin has announced
his support of Hughes, and j. II.
GIBSON, state chairman, Is again a
republican. Clancy stellar is once
more republican leader. AS to the
rank and file of the progressives,
while they are free TO vote as they
choose, 1t is thought that greater
portion will return to the parties
with which they were formerly affil-
iated.If so the republicans will have
a big increase in their vote this fall.
