State Chairman Evans Conf
dent National and State
Tickets Will Win.
IDAHO IS INTERESTED
In Protective Policies in De-
velopment of Natural
Resources.

Evan Evans, chairman of the Re
publican state committee, returned
Saturday from the northern part of
the state.
1T has been my privilege" said Mr..
Evans, "to visit enough sections of
the state in the north and elsewhere
to familiarize myself with the mate
rial and political conditions. AS re-
suit of that investigation 1t is my can
did belief that the entire Republican
state ticket will be elected and that
Idaho win give its ELECTORAL vote to
Mr. Hughes.
There has not been presidential
election in many years in this state
the result of which so vitally affects
home and every wage-earner In Idaho.
The European war, which has been
the sole cause of the present tempo
rary prosperity in this country, will
| closed uring the term of the next ad-
ministration at Washington. If Mr..
Wilson is then president and the
Democratic party is In control, the
administration will continue to adhere
to the damaging tariff and other poll
cies that caused such universal de-
preston and stagnation in this coun-
try in 1913 and 1914, prior to the
outbreak of the European war. On
the contrary, If Mr.. Hughes shall be
elected and the Republican party In
stalled in power laws will be imme-
diately enacted furnishing to the In
dustries and the labor of America the
protection that has always produced
sound prosperity i'm the United States.
Idaho Vitally Interested.
Idaho Is distinctively a producing
state. At present, of course, due to
the war, good prices prevail, but be-
fore the war the producers of Idaho
: received "A mere pittance, if anything,
for their output. Potatoes, for ex-
ample, sold at the absurd price of 30
cents n hundred. and other things in
proportion. 1t is obvious that there
: will be recurrence of these hard
times under the same political condi-
, tions that prevail in this country he
fore the war.
Moreover Idaho's future depends
: to IA large extent upon the further de-
yelopment of her resources, which will
: naturally be retarded by any such
: period of national depression as was
1 experienced in this country in lob
/, and 1914.
u "In Il word the industries of Idaho.
> the farms Of Idaho the homes of
!, Idaho, and their future if success is
v to 20 to them and continue with them,
! must be interinked with the protec-
tive policies of the Republican party.
. 1T is reasonable to conclude that
y y the people of this state are not dis
- posed to discriminate against them
u selves. and therefore, | feel the great
: est confidence that large majority
y Of them will record their votes a week
II from next Tuesday for Mr.. Hughes
and the Republican congressional
. ticket.
Republican Ticket Strong.
y THE Republican party has been ex-
1t tremely fortunate in this campaign in
}. the selection of its candidates for state
II, officers. and the state win be extreme
j. ~ fortunate if they shall be elected
rs The ticket, from ID. w. Davis down. is
er composed of honest and capable men
es who will 20 into Office with the one
III thought of securing the best possible
Y. results for the people Idaho is al
to this time in need of strong and faith
I'll full officials, men who are big in every
re way and who will combine their eff
lg forts for the further upbuilding OF
st their state.
in "On account of geographical condi
or tions in this state communication be
tween the different sections is diff
cult Because of this situation there
has been at times, ana Is now, lact
of that degree of cooperation whicf
re- should exist if the people of the wide
ell ny separated sections of Idaho knew
