HAMER TO ATTEND
THE G. 0. P. RALLY
Former Congressman Will
Preside at Boise Meet
ing on Sept. 10.

Plans for the Republican rally to be
held at the Pinney theater on the even
ing of Sept. 10 are progressing as rap
idly as possible. Thomas r. Hamer
has been especially invited to attend
the meeting and act as chairman of the
evening, introducing the speaker in one
of his characteristic addresses.
Owing to previous arrangements the
local band cannot be secured and an
effort is being made to bring the fine
band from Caldwell and Nampa. II
this cannot be secured an effort VIII
be made to have the ID. w. Davis band
of American Falls present.
Word has been received from the
headquarters of the d. w. Davis club
of American Falls that Mr.. Davis will
begin his speaking campaign immedi-
ately upon the meeting of the state
central committee next Tuesday. The
first counties to be visited by him VIII
be Boise, Gem, Adams and Owyhee.
When he has completed a speaking
campaign in these counties he will
probably make a tour of Lemhi and
Custer counties before going north for
two weeks.
Dates and places for his meeting
have not been fully determined on, but
this it is supposed will be determined
by the last of the week.
Now that Congressman Smith has
returned to his home in Twin Falls
and Congressman McCracken to Boise,
arrangements will speedily be arranged
for their public appearance on the
platform at different places in the
state. Mr. McCracken will probably
not be able to begin his speaking tour
until about the first of October, but he
will then continue until election day.
No word has been received from
Congressional Candidate Burton J..
French, but it is known that he eX-
poets to make a very complete speak
ing canvass of the state, making one or
more speeches in every county. In his
primary campaign Mr.. French did not
make any addresses, and the state COM
mittee is in receipt of many requests
for his appearance. This will be the
first public campaign Mr.. French has
made in Idaho for four years-his
health having been so poor in 1914 that
he did not return to the state.
