pal Jack Frost along, to
help Charles presidential campaign
along little," said old King BOre-s
Thursday night, as he left for the
with his confederate in the orchards
and spud patches on the Twin Falls
tract.
"Now, 1 realize that you folks are
going to have a good year here and
that the country will continue to be
prosperous as a whole" he continued,
but every little damper helps the
chances of the Republicans, because
it gives them an opportunity to lay 1t
unto the Democrats, which they do
Charlie is my sort, not one Of the hot
numbers like Theodore. By the way
don't you call him Charlie or he'll
freeze you, and you won't like that,
but the CONCEALED surface is my de-
light, so | do not care how cold a re-
ception 1 get when l try to be familiar.
Now, Teddy is different and ! don't
like him worth shucks. But his boom
is dead and the new tack of the Re-
publicans is to boost home issues and
work the soft pedal on foreign affairs.
Your friend the News doesn't know
that, it seems, and is just starting out
to roast Wilson's foreign policy, when
that string is out of tune. A few
weeks ago when it looked as if Teddy
was goin to be 1T. That would have
been in harmony with the brass band,
but not now. Things along that line
began to die out on the very day that
the Idaho state Republican convention
met here so it was necessary for the
resolutions committee to amputate
one leg of the spineless, supine plank
and trim the toes off the other so
that it came in with a limp, and look
, ed as if it had been through thresh-
ing machine. Events such as the pri-
maries in the Mississippi valley states
and the resurrection of Teddy's signed
letter demanding that the United
States be neutral in the matter of Bel
GUM invasion killed his chances anC
the recent diplomatic exchanges of the
administration with Germany buried
them, so there was nothing to do bu
make internal issues sole heir, and the
matter of putting in Charlie as admin
- istrator without bond is now in pro
gress. The standpatters always want
ed Charlie. He is a fine arctic sort o
man with judicial mind like Taft
: and his friend George Harvey admits
that he has no experience with gov
ernmental affairs and seems to TAX
4 the view that the qualifications of
y president should be the same a

s Coming back to your friend tn
II News, it strikes me that it is quite a
slow as a patriot as it is as a pract
II cal politician. When the first invs
