If Judge Black should run for governor and be
nominated by the Democrats-which we consider
most unlikely-he would be beaten worse than he
was when he ran for senator two years ago The
coming state campaign will be fought out on Lis
ter's administration, regardless of who is the can
didate, and Lister is therefore the logical and the
best one to carry on the fight We place little
credence in the reports that Judge Black is plan
ming to enter the for the nomination-we
give him credit for having more sense.

For the first time in twenty years the one man
who has had greater influence on the Democratic
party than any other during that period will not
be listed among the delegates at the national con-
vention next June, for, though candidate, Will
lam Jennings Bryan was not among the four dele
gatesat-large elected by Nebraska Democrats in
the primaries last week. He was next to the last
in field of seven; his brother was badly defeated
for the Democratic nomination for governor. Is
this the end?

THE ISSUES sQUARELY PUT.

Whatever the situation may be elsewhere here
in Thurston county the issues Of the coming cam
pagn have been squarely put, in the platforms
adopted at the recent county conventions. On
the one hand the Democrats endorse the admins
tratons of President Wilson and Governor Lister
and the principle of nonpartsanship in city, coun-
ty and state elections; in the other, the Repub-
licans score all three. Each is fiat statement of
position; each Numerically opposes the other
1t occurs to us that in view Of this fact, dis
cussion of the principle of nonpartisanship would
be most instructive, and we therefore invite ar
ticles on that subject. They to be discussions
of the principle. Personalities have no place in
such discussions.

THE LITTLEsT OF THEM ALL.

During the years he has been leading the Re-
publican minority in the lower house of congress,
James R. Mann, we had thought, had shown great
ability great resourcefulness, cleverness and
tally; but when, after President Wilson ad-
dressed congress in joint session last week stating
the policy he was pursuing with reference to Ger
many's submarine campaign Representative
Mann accused him of playing politics, he lost the
respect Of every American citizen And Repub-
lican papers have not been slow to criticize him
severely for his "bad break a sentence of few
short words which should spell his political death.
His was the one voice of the 500 in congress, the
one voice among all the leading men of the coun-

Boise High Beats Emmett Eleven

Working the forward pass sue
cessfully and making long gains
around the ends, the Boise high school
football team Saturday defeated the
Emmett high by the score OF "a to D..
Emmett scored a touchdown in the
early part of the fourth quarter but
aside from that period was hardly
within striking distance of the Boise
goal. Boise made a sensational raid
on the goal of Emmett Immediately
after the kickoff and scored a touch
down. After that it was merely
question of how large the score would
be. The Emmett team was repeated
ly forced to give ground before the
smashing offensive of the Boise
eleven. The forward pass was in per-
feet working order for Boise while
big gains through the line and around
the ends kept piling up the score. A
second touchdown was scored IN the
second quarter, one in the third and
two in the fourth.

Bids for the construction of the
drainage works in Drainage District
No. 1, between Bramwell and Falk,
were opened this morning by the

held in Commercial Club rooms.
Nancy Bros, of Odgen and Boise,
submitted the lowest bid, but the
board decided to give no decision un-
til consideration had been given of the
next two lowest bids.
The following bidders and the
amount of their bids for construc-
ton and all materials is given below.
The bids were submitted for wood
bridges and cement bridges:
Nancy Bros, Odgen = Concrete,

definite assurance that ready mar
ket awaits the bonds at par and at
not to exceed per cent interest.
The construction of this drainage
system to reclaim 10000 acres of as
fine land as lies outdoors is now very
near, and will, it is confidently believ-
ed, prove of great benefit to not only
the land owners, but also to the COM
nunity at large. The cost will not
exceed SO per acre, exclusive of the
against corporations,
which are yet to be determined by the
courts.

WILL CASE TO HIGHER
COURT
Mrs. Priscilla Moore Seeks Re-
yersal of the District Court
Findings.

The Henry T. Shaw will case, which
has attracted considerable attention
throughout Canyon and Gem counties,
has been appealed to the supreme
court, and transcripts are now being
prepared. The transcript is one of
the most extensive prepared In the
Canyon county clerks office, contain
in 800 pages.
The case, as previously described
in The Index, is controversy over an
estate, in which Mrs. Priscilla Moore
of Emmett, a sister of Henry t. Shaw
deceased, seeks to establish that a
lost codicil in the will of her brother
provided that Mrs. Henry Shaw, wi
dow of the deceased, was to receive
one-third of the estate of her husband,
the remainder of his property going
to Mrs. Moore and other relatives if
Mrs. Shaw remained single, but that
in the event she married all the pro
perty reverted to Mrs. Moore and
other relatives of the deceased. Mrs.
Shaw remarked.
Mrs. Shaw opposes the effort to es-
tablish that the alleged codicil ever
existed or to inject it as factor IN
the case. The late Mr.. Shaw was
citizen of Parma and was rated as
one of the wealthiest sheepmen in
the state. The valuation of the es-
tate in controversy is approximated
at 100000.
The case was heard first in the pro-
bate court of Canyon county and Judg-
ment was for Mrs. Moore. Appeal
was taken to the district court, jury
trial was had, and the decision went
against Mrs. Moore.

Dangerous Work.

While Mrs. Newly was sitting by
a window in the parlor of her re-
sidence, Tuesday evening, a bullet
from a % caliber rifle crashed
through the glass in close proximity
to her, and greatly frightened her.
Evidently some boy was shooting in
side the town limits in violation of
law. A % rifle is dangerous any
where in the hands of boy, and es-
pecially so in town. Parents Will
be wise to keep such weapons out
of the hands of boys.

HALLOWEEN CELEBRAT-
ED GAILY
Many Social Events-Few of the
Usual MischievOus Franks
Reported.

From social standpoint, Halloween
was a gala night. Prospective brides
were guests of honor at two pleasing
gatherings, number of parties were
given by young and old where ghosts
walked and hobgoblins stalked in
grewsome attire, and at the Dewey
pavilion was held a jolly masquerade
ball. During the early part of the
evening white-sheeted figures fitted
here and there on Main street, and
masqueraders held high carnival. The
usual mischievous pranks in town
were tabooed. The only depreciation so
far reported was the abduction of
Norton Cowden's Ford runabout,
which was taken from in front of his
home and spirited away. 1t was found
in a puddle Of water along the road
on South Boise avenue next morning.

Republicans have this advantage,
that if there is a drift to Wilson at
the campaign end, as the Democrats
of course claim, it must be Nigara
drift to win. Illinois, for instance, is
claimed by the Democrats, because
they think they see Wilson drift
there. Well, there may be. But Ill
nois normally polls a 100000 Repub-
lican majority. In other words, the
drift would have to be strong enough
not merely to cut off $4,000 Republi-
can majority. If that were all, Illinois
would still cast its electoral vote for
Hughes. Further, Wilson might
prove to be the popular choice for
President in the sense of carrying the
plurality on popular vote over the
country, and yet fail of election.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
A "HOSS RACE"
Despite Claims Both Parties at
Sea-WOman's' Vote May
Be Deciding Factor.

In spite of the confident claims of
the national committees of both par
ties, which may be taken as half
boasting and half guesswork, it is
generally conceded by those who have
given the situation careful study and
who are not biased by partisanship,
that this presidential election is a
real "hoss race" If "straw votes
are worth anything, they emprasize
the closeness of the battle; that
Hughes and Wilson are running neck
and neck.
The Index has NO inside informa-
ton, but it in in doubt as TO
whether its guess is not as good as
anyone else's, so here goes:
The best information we can get is
that Hughes has the "edge." The
men who are closest to the situation
believe he will win, but they concede
that is is a "hoss race" Conditions
in a number of Republican states are
"bad" from a Republican standpoint.
Ohio, usually bulwark and palla-
dunn of Rephb|icanism, is the
"plague" spot of the campaign. The
Democrats have fat chance to carry
it and the wise men of the campaign
classify it with Missouri and rate
both as doubtful. Conditions in Il
linois are only little better Hughes
chances in Illinois are predicted on
the proposition that Lowden, Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, will
have a majority of $4,000. Hughes
chances diminish as Lowden's major
ity falls below that figure. 1t is con-
ceded by practically everybody that
Lowden will win. Henry Ford has
made trouble in Michigan and the
Democrats have an outside chance. 1t
is far outside, but still a chance. Wis
consin also is a source of some worry
Nobody knows just what LaFollette's
apathy will cost the party.

Another prank that proved very
annoying to the victims, was perpe-
trated at the L. A. Wheeler home,
where a merry party of friends was
being entertained. Ghosts stole the
dainty edibles provided for the guests

pated big feed had to be declared off.
