them out to his constituents by the
score. When the doors were closed
some 5000 wearers Of these badges still
on the outside set up a mighty roar.
That let many Of them in while ticket
holders still were wailing in the rain.
Even "Jim" Preston Locked Out.
The newspaper men had good
laugh at Jim" Preston, superintend
ent of the press gallery of the senate
and in charge of the correspondents

one of those caught on the outside.
and howled for half an hour before
the police would recognize his right
to enter. Jim is favorite with the
correspondents, but his plight made
lighter that in which many Of them
found themselves.
BY the way, some of the aforesaid
correspondents were national figures
and attracted almost as much atten.
tion as did the notable men on the
platform and among the delegations.
One of them, of course, was William
]. Bryan, representing the CommOner

too, and so was Arthur Brisbane, and
William Allen White, and Angus Nc
Sween, and many another whose
names are perhaps more familiar to
the general public than their faces, but
who are usually to be seen when any
thing big like national convention is
going on. They do not wax especially
enthusiastic over the usually factitious
demonstrations in conventions, but
nothing gets away from them, and II
is noticeable that the statesmen are
always glad of chat with them.
These correspondents are not es
pecially patient when important mat

could not deliver anything like their
full strength if any other man were
named. To this the Republican COM
mittee made no response, only asking
that it be continued.
Candidates Are Named.
Time was growing short, and the
leaders now proceeded to the presenta-
tion of candidates. Mr.. Hughes was
first on the list, because Arizona yield
ed to New York, and Root followed.
The demonstration for neither was up
to expectations, and Weeks received
no more applause. illinois and Ohio
and Indiana woke things up lot for
Sherman, Burton and Fairbanks, re-
spectively, but the audience was wait
ing, because the word had gone around
that Senator Fall of New Mexico was
to place Roosevelt in nomination, and
everyone was eager to see what would
happen then. Fall made a stirring
speech, and the galleries rose to the
occasion, though most of the delegates
merely looked on curiously. 1t really
was the big noise Of the convention to
date.
Back in 1912 when the handsome
Mrs Davis acted as cheermaster for
the Roosevelt demonstration she set a
fashion which every candidate seemed
to think it necessary to follow this
year Each of them had a lady yell
leader in one of the galleries. Some
of them were pretty and some of them
were only energetic. Mr.. Roots
cheermaster just opened her mouth at
frequent intervals-in fact, when she
got the signal from Job Hedges-and
let out a series of piercing shrieks.
Later she changed her vote on the
second ballot" for then she was found
to be emitting similar screams in be-
half of Colonel Roosevelt.

paper boys as he has done before on
like occasions.
Downtown in the hotels music
played large part in the efforts of the
various clans of boosters. Nearly
every headquarters had it's band or
orchestra and the Burtonites brought
big glee club from Columbus, Ohio.
Sherman also had large band OF
singers, and Marching Through
Georgia" became his official song.
The Fairbanks men, naturally, adopted
"On the Banks of the Wabash" and
it's strains could be heard far into the
night.
One individual appeared carrying on
his chest small organ on which an
other played popular airs, and as they
proceeded through the crowds they
soon collected a string of snake dan
GERS.
Citizens Were Hospitable.
The citizens of Chicago tried hard
to uphold the reputation of the city
as the convention city of the country
and to make up for the rough deal
handed out by the weather man. There
were numerous fetes Of one kind or an
other planned for the pleasure Of both
man and woman visitors, and though
the continuous rain caused the aban
donment of some of these, most OF
them were highly successful. Notable
among the entertainers was the Ham
ilton club, which kept virtual open
house throughout the week, with free
refreshments and the services of IA
nous singers and vaudeville artists.
On Wednesday night the Hamiltonians
invited all visiting newspaper men to
partake of their hospitality, and the
same night the Press club gave mid
night dinner and entertainment for
the correspondents.
The Progressives even more than
the Republicans INDUCED in social
pleasures, partly because there were
a good many women among their dele
gates. And the women's party conven'
tion ana gatherings of suffragists all
contributed to the society aspect OF
the week.
Before the convention opened there
was the greatest demand for tickets
ever known on like occasion. The
prices scared until $500 for set
looked cheap and often was refused.
The opening day was so lacking IN
popular interest that the price began
RAPIDLY to drop and tickets for the
Thursday session could be had for
$3.50 each. Then things livened up.
and on the expectation that candt-
date would be nominated Friday the
price of the pasteboards jumped up
again. The shameful flooding OF the
hall with green tickets by the local
politicians rather discouraged those
who had paid out considerable sums
for genuine admission cards, but on
Saturday morning the trade was brisk
and the prices good.
1t did not take long for the people
to find out that there were liveller
scenes in the Auditorium than in the
Coliseum, the early days OF the con-
vention, and the demand for Moose
tickets was large.
The Benson signal., 1916-06-17

| ceived with manifest approval. So,
| too, was the reference to the Demo
cratic plan to relinquish the Philip
pines. Altogether, it seemed the plat
form should enlist the support of al
most any Republican, however pro-
gressive he may be.
Senator Lodge concluding, forth
came a brave young man from Wis
| consin, of the name of Gross, and pre-
sented a minority report 1t contained
the well-known views of Senator La
Toilette on economic and social ques-
tions, and especially did it contain a
plank calling for an embargo on the
shipment Of munitions to the warning
nations or Europe. Mr.. Gross was
plucky, but didn't get very far, for his
report received only few scattering
votes from his own Wisconsin delega-
ton.
Close under the lee of the speak
er's rostrum all this time sat one Will
liam Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, and
at each strong point made by the SEN
ator from Massachusetts he would
crane his neck around for a good look
at that gentleman, and sink back in
his chair with a grim grin. Just what
he thought he refused to say out loud.
During a pause in the proceedings
Uncle Joe" Cannon and Chauncey De-
pew were brought forward, one at a
time, to entertain the audience, and
they did it with a characteristic mix
ture OF story, joke and old-time patri-
otism. Then Senator Borah was in
troduced, and some real fireworks
were expected, but while he spoke we'll
and inspiringly, he held himself well
in command.
What are the Progressives doing
and going to do?" was the question
heard continually, and now it was an
swered in part by the reading of the
invitation from the convention in the
Auditorium for the appointment of a
conference committee to meet one to
be appointed by the Progressives. The
invitation was accepted gladly by the
Republicans, for they earnestly de-
sired peace and unity. Some wiseacres
| shook their heads when the chair ap-
pointed four gentlemen who had been
classed as ultra conservatives, but
the name Of Borah was looked on as
saving grace, and the committee
went to its delicate task, the conven-
ton adjourning until Friday.
Hopefully assembling again next
morning, the delegates were told that
the Progressive committee had been
able to suggest little more than the
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt by
both conventions, because the leaders

FOR PRESIDENT
CHARLES EVANS HUGHES.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT
CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS

Chicago.-As exclusively predicted
by 497.365 persons, the Republican
party in convention assembled in Chi
cago selected Associate Justice
Charles e. Hughes as it's standard
bearer in the campaign of 1916.
Contrary to the expectation of al
most everybody and to his own de-
sires, Charles Warren Fairbanks Of
Indiana was chosen for the second
place.
If that is not safe and sane ticket
for presentation to the sovereign
voters of the nation, the Republican
leaders who devised it don't know how
to make one They put it forth in the
full confidence that it will command
the suffrages of majority of the cleo
tors next November and that it would
receive the Endorsement of Colonel
Roosevelt and most of his Progressive
followers. At least, they asserted that
they had the aforesaid full confidence.
The nomination of Mr.. Justice
Hughes. which was accomplished on
the third ballot, was received by the
throng in the Coliseum with demon
stratiOn that was as safe and sane as
the candidate Everybody stood up
and cheered. ..
Saturday afternoon Mr.. Hughes sent
a telegram to Chairman Harding ac-
cepting the nomination, and at the
same time he resigned from the Su-
preme court of the United States.
Justice Hughes letter of resigna-
ton, sent to the White House by mes
senger, contained one brief sentence.
1t said
Il hereby resign the Office of asso-
ciate justice of the Supreme court Of
the United States. am, sir respect
fully yours,
CHARLES E. HUGHES"
The selection of Mr.. Fairbanks for
the position which he once before
filled with distinction required only
one ballot, and soon thereafter the
convention adjourned sine die, leaving
the Indiana delegation glued to the
long distance telephone endeavoring
to persuade the Tall Sycamore of the
Wabash to accept the honor thus sum-
marily thrust upon him.
Final Session Was interesting.
The story of the final session of the
convention, on Saturday, is rather in
teresting because of the way in which
it's developments were concerned with
the course pursued by Theodore Roose-
Welt and with the doings of the Pro-
gressive convention in the Auditorium
All night long the conference commit
tees of the two conventions had been
closeted in a room of the Chicago club,
and the first thing Chairman Harding
did was to call for final report from
the Republican committee. Mr.. Smoot
of Utah informed the convention that
his committee had submitted to the
Progressives the name of Justice
Hughes, even as the Bull MOosers the
day before had submitted that of T. r.;
that the Progressives had then re-
ceived from the colonel a long tele-
gram. which he read, earnestly plead
! ing for harmony and united action,
and suggesting that they offer to unite
with the Republicans on Senator Hen
ry Cabot Lodge Of Massachusetts.

Democratic papers have been print
ing the story that James r. Garfield
is for Wilson. This is the way Gar
field is for Wilson and here are his
own words confirming the story:
Hughes is man of wisdom, courage
and action; his deeds have been con-
sistent with his words; as Governor of
New York he fulfilled his promises;
he acted with judgment, foresight and
vigor; he feared no party, no faction,
no special interests; he safeguarded
the rights of all persons; he did not
yield to party exigency, nor truckle
to popular favor; he strove for justice
and righteousness. Wilson is not
worthy of reelection. Compare his
promises with his acts; his opinions
when teacher not in politics with the
opinions he now expresses, A man
should change his opinion when he
finds himself in error, but it is most
unfortunate if he makes the change
when he is a candidate for office and
when the change seems popular.

GOT IT IN THE NECK.

A communication, signed "A Farm.
err was received this week and deals
with the rural credit legislation. He
writes:
"Look how we farmers got it in the
neck with that rural credits bill. Why
can go to any cold blooded" loan
company and make better arrange
ments for money than | can thru that
loan measure from Uncle Sam. That
measure is full Of Wilson vinegar; it
gives you a dark brown taste in your
mouth and turns yiur stomach before
you take second smell. That mea-
sure alone, the way it is drafted, is
enough to turn any well-posted farm
er against the present professor exc
cutive at Washington. Any half
smart farmer can read that measure
and see it was not designed by any
one who had the interests of the farm
ers at heart; just ge; copy of it,
read it carefully. then you will see the
banker at home is your friend after
all. 1t has all the earmarks Of Pro-
fessor Wilson. who never was the
farmers friend. He will hear from
us rural voters on November T.
Below is given some of the defects
of the rural credit bill:
/. You are a stakeholder in cor
poration without any control of the
corporation.
2. Your stock carries double liza
bility. If your bank fails, you must
put up an amount equal to your orr
ginal stock TO make good its loss.
3. You are liable to be assessed for
the expenses Of the corporation if it
does not pay its way.
4. You are not only responsible for
the solvency and the expenses of your
own corporation, but also of eleven
other corporations covering the whole
United States
8. You cannot use the money as you
want to, but only for provided pur-
poses.
s. Your rate of interest is not def
mite, but will depend upon the sue
cessfnl operation of all twelve Of the
land banks. If there is crop failure
in Texas, Louisiana, Florida or South
ern California, your land bank, will
have to stand share of the loss, and
SO will your stock. If one Of the land
banks fails, your land bank, in which
you are a stockholder. will have to
make up its share Of that loss. II an
improvident farm association fails,
all the other farm associations, under
the land bank. will have to make good
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1916-10-26

share Of that loss You are parti
ally, to certain extent, making your
self liable for improvident loans by
twelve land banks and large number
Of loan associations, over none OF
which you have any control.
We submit that no provident farm
err would go into any such scheme
as this and take his chances of having
to pay an assessment for losses that
may occur all over the United States,
T. The entire administration of the
act is political. All appointments are
political, and you know how little
measure of efficiency there is in any
enterprise controlled by political APP
pointments. This is really the most
serious objection to the whole thing.
How shall it be met?
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1916-10-26
WHY NOT RAISE THE STANDARD

1t is unfortunate that men wht
hold to and practice praiseworthy
ideals in professional, business anc
private life do things in politics that
in any other connection they woulc
scorn to do and that they countenance
and approve actions affecting politics
that they would be quick to condemn
if directed to other channels.
1t is unfortunate, because politics
is so inseparably part of the science
of government and because govern
ment can never approximate a pro-
per standard SO long as its most es-
sential ingredient is polluted
1t is said that the people are to
blame for the degeneracy of politics
and inevitable decadence in govern
ment because they are almost Grimm
ally neglectful, narrowly prejudiced
and distressfully gullible.
1t is not fair, however, to jump at
such conclusions, for the people are
surely justified in believing that they
will be correctly and safely led by
those entrusted with public affairs.
The people, therefore, have a right
to feel that they have been deceived
if not betrayed, when any of these
leaders so conduct themselves as to
set lower standard of citizenship
in public life
The people of Idaho ought to feel
that in their Governor-not the Re-
publicans' governor nor the Demo-
are to- b,,t fha,,
they have a man who will in his
private and official life set AN exam
Pile worthy of emulation; that in
point of honor and honesty, of judg-
ment, of mentality, of poise and
dignity, they have in him one to whom
they can safely point their sons and
daughters as an example.
There have been such men in the
high position of Governor of this
state, but not all of our governors
have measured up even part way to
that height to which the people could
point with genuine pride and salts
faction.
What an example for the younger
or the older, when a man
at the head of state government
adopts the tactics of mountebank
or circus barker
What an example when a man in
that position becomes the cunning
thief of the results of the efforts of
others and publicly voices bis claim
to the stolen property
What an example when a man in
such position resorts to charlatanry
and spitefulness and deception and
lies to gain his poll
teal endsl
What an example in good citizen
ship to set before those who will soon
lake over control of affairs
How may we expect better things
20 grow for the future from soil sat
lrated with vicious elements?
We all have our political prefer
snces, and it is well that we have
lonest differences Of opinion as to
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1916-10-26

the principles of government, but
this is a question that goes to the
roots of all principles of government
and condition that rots them all.
Irrespective of the success of any
party or any candidate, all thinking
people should with their votes place
the hot seal of disapproval upon such
and agencies that tend towards a
lowering of reasonable standards and
a deadening of the public conscience
to common decency, to intellectually,

CURRENT COMMENT.

Our Democratic friends like to re-
mind us that Wilson kept us out of
war. This is nothing new for presi-
dent of the United States to do. How
many presidents can you name who
got us into war
