Chairman Blaine Confident.

That the extreme activity of the
Democratic organizations of this
state in the effort to carry the state
for Wilson is largely due to desire
upon their part to embarass Senator
William E. Borah, is the opinion of
S. e. Blaine, OF Boise, chairman of
the Republican county central COM
mittee of Ada county.
Mr.. Blaine emphasizes the import
ance of Republicans not allowing
themselves to be hoodwinked or de-
ceived as TO the real purpose of the
political scheme of the Democratic
state and. county organizations of
the state along this line. He de-
clares that all who are really friends
of Senator Borah should be on the
alert and active in their efforts to
defeat this democratic effort to
strike Senator Borah and weaken his
lstrong influence in our national
congress by not only voting for the
republican presidential electors who
will vote for Hughes for president,
but by working faithfully next Tues
day to secure as large q vote for
Hughes as possible in this state.
This is in order to not only insure
an era of prosperity, progress and
peace for the country but to main
! tain the wonderful influence that
Senator Borah now has in the Uni
ted States senate.
| Mr.. Blaine also emphasizes the
great importance OF supporting the
! republican state and county tickets.
In commenting upon the political
outlook to-day, Mr.. Blaine said.
The general outlook is highly
encouraging. All signs point to the
election of Hughes as president as
well as to the election of our state
and county tickets. Too much en-
lphasis however can not be placed
upon the fact the democratic organ
izations of this state are striving TO
carry the state for Wilson for the
Specific purpose of embarrassing
Senator Borah and weakening his
great influence in the United States
senate. All republicans should be
ON the alert and not allow themsel-
yes to be deceived by this democrat
ic scheme. No friend of Senator
Borah should. allow himself to be
hoodwinked by this effort upon the
part of our political opponents who
resent the highly effective speeches
made by Senator Borah in behalf of
the election of Hughes.
To the contrary, every man who is
truly a friend of the Senator should
not only vote for the republican pres
| idential electors who will cast their
votes for Mr.. Hughes. but he should
also be especially active to secure as
large vote as possible for Mr..
Hughes in this state not only to Sc
cure prosperity for our country, but
to maintain the Senator's influence
| in the United States senate. This in
fluence has enabled him to do much
| for the entire west"
"Our state and county ticket should
be given loyal support. In fact this
should be a republican year,all down
the line"

and certainly there is no one more
tireless in looking after the interests
OF the people of the state. l have
found Mr.. Smith exceedingly help
ful In dealing with such matters as
land legislation and other matters of
peculiar local concern. 1t would be
difficult for Idaho to find more eff

We like him."
Senator Brady.
1T is indeed a matter for great re-
1oicing TO all of Idaho that Mr..
Smith was renominated for congress.
His natural ability and long exper-
ience. coupled with his faculty for
putting that ability and experience
TO practical use in behalf of Idaho's
Interests, have made his services in
valuable to our state. We cannot
ia without him.

sri,ons Eating Much Salmon.

The people of England have devel-
oped such an inordlnate appetite for
canned salmon that 1t keeps the big
importing companies busy supplying
the abnormal demand. says A. ii. Whit
more of Vancouver, b. c., coast repre-
sentative for n big English firm of
London and Liverpool. Mr.. Whitmore
says that the record high wages and
the consequent prosperity of the mid
die classes of England is responsible
for the demand. with the falling off in
fresh water receipts from the North
sea also entering In. THE problem
now is whether we can keeT up the de-
mand after the war is over and the
workmen come back to the old wage
scale." he said. Also after the war
the enormous supplies of fresh fish
will agaln be available"
