Predicting the triumphant election
Of Charles E. Hughes on Nov. John
J. Plowhead. chairman of the. Canyon
county Progressive committee, has ad-
dressed a most encouraging letter to
j. II. Gipson, chairman of the Hughes
Alliance. The letter follows:
Caldwell Ida, Oct. 49,. 1916.
"Mr. James H. GIBSON.
Chairman Hughes Alliance,
Boise, Idaho.
Dear Mr.. Gipson:
1.-The strenuous efforts now being
made by both the Republican and
Democratic parties to secure the Pro-
gressive vote amounts to an admis-
sion of both the old parties that which
ever way the Progressive vote goes.
so goes the election. In other words
in 1916 as in 1912 the Progressives
hold the balance OF power.
What the great mass of Progress
sive voters will do is still a matter of
conjecture. The leaders of the Pro-
gressive party are now affiliated with
both the old parties, but the line of
