Democrats Are Sanguine.

Vance Mccormick, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, is
sues this statement:
"The good reports multiply. From
every section of the country come It'd
ings of unusual Wilson strength. Our
battle-ground is the whole United
States. The president has a good or
better than an even chance in practi-
cally every state in the union. In a
majority of them, and include New
York in this category, his chances
are better than even.
81 regard it as settled that we will
carry New York. The president has
developed unanticipated strength up
state, and the sentiment running his
way in the greater city has the vol
ume and impetus of tidal wave. 1t
embraces all classes of persons and
extends to every corner of the muni-
cipality. l confidently expect to make
the Wilson victory unanimous or
nearly so.

Announcement Dinner.

Misses Geraldyne Laravea and
Anna Campbell were hostesses last
evening at a charming dinner at the
H. T. Davis home in honor of Miss
Pearl Wilton, whose approaching mar
riage to Robert Kinzer on November
8 was announced. The guests in
cluded the members of the Mary James
Club, relatives of Miss Wilton and
Mrs. Kinzer, mother of the groom-to-
be. A feature of the table decora-
tions was unique farm scene. A
mirror in the center of the table re-
presented a miniature lake, upon
whose waters were flock of ducks.
The banks were grass covered. A tiny
house was near by and doll feeding
a flock of chickens stood in front. AS
the young couple will live on farm
after their marriage, this feature was
very appropriate. A four-course
dinner was served and the evening
passed away merrily.

COMING
Takes Option on Hayes Packing
House and Will Erect Two
Oil Tanks.

Emmett is to be distributing point
of the Continental Oil company for
the upper end of the Payette valley
and the country as far as the Payette
lakes tributary to the Idaho North
ern railway.
This was indicated at a special
meeting of the city council Mon
day afternoon to take action on
petition for a permit to build cor
rugated iron building on the ground
now occupied by the E. X. Hayes fruit
packing house, just east of the old
electric power building. An option
on this property has been taken by
the Continental company.
Building operations will commence
as soon as satisfactory arrangements
can be made with the Oregon Short
Line for switch tracks. The company
will erect two tanks, one for gasoline
and the other for kerosene. The COM
pany was represented at the council
meeting by C. w. Fifield, district
manager, of Boise.

BATTLING
FOR CHRIST
Many Converts Respond to Appeals
of Evangelist Lines

The revival meetings are still the
center of attraction and the interest
continues to deepen. Numbers con-
fess Christ at every service. So far
over 100 have professed conversion.
The song service is attracting many
1t is the best heard in Emmett. Prof
Garth is the best church pianist who
has been heard by Emmett people.
Do not miss these services.
Last Saturday night unique and
greatly appreciated service was held,
led by the gospel team of Notus.
Twenty men from Notus came
in autos and had charge of the meet
ing. They were given a royal well
come by the Emmett people. The No
tus people closed up all the business
houses there in order to come to En-
NETT, and we appreciated the splen-
did talks they gave. Friday evening
we expect the gospel team from Mid
dleton. We especially urge the busi-
ness people of Emmett to be present
to greet and hear these men from
Middleton. Other teams from nearby
towns are planning to attend.
The following is the schedule for
Sunday services:
10 a. m.-Sunday schools in their
respective places.
IL a. m.-Union meetings at the
tabernacle.
3 p. m.-Mass meeting for all peo-
oIe Of the tabernacle
6:30 p. m.-Young men and boys
at the Presbyterian church, young
women and girls at the Baptist
church. Professor Garth will conduct
the young mems meeting and Mrs.
Norvell will lead the young women's

plan to attend some of these meetings.

possibly larger than that of ex-Gover-
nor Hughes. Advices from New York
indicate that Murphy, the directing
spirit of Tammany, is concerned only
in the election of Judge Seabury for
Governor, and is not interested in the
fate of Mr.. Wilson. There is COM
plete harmony in the Republican ranks
in New York.
Therefore, in the Republican cal
culations the As electoral votes of New
York are added to the PSI votes emu
merated above, thus giving Mr.
Hughes 296 votes in the electoral
college, or thirty more than are
needed to make him President. This
margin of thirty votes leaves ample
ground for even further Democratic
claims than are conceded at this mo-
ment, namely, Connecticut, Ohio and
South Dakota.
Republicans say they can lose Wis
consin's thirteen votes and still be
certain of victory. They can lose
Indiana and New Jersey and still
be sure.
There has been much reference re-
Gently to an alleged "slump" in Re-
publican prospects. Republicans say
that the high-water mark of the Will
son campaign was undoubtedly reach
ed in the two weeks that have just
ended, just as Mr.. Bryan was always
elected in October, and just as re-
gularly defeated in November.

BUCKNUM BUYS BUL-
LARD PROPERTY
viii Erect Beautiful Chapel for
Funeral Services on West
Part of Block.

c. D. Bucknum this week closed a
deal for the C. J. Billiard residence
property, occupying half block OF
ground at the corner of Nam street
and Wardwell avenue. AS part pay
ment Mr.. Bucknum transferred his
bungalow on First street to Mr.. bull
lard.
The acquisition of this property is
for the purpose of erecting on the
west half of the grounds a chapel IN
which funeral services may be held.
While no definite plans have yet been
made for the building, Mr.. Bucknum
has in view building of appropriate
design with a seating capacity OF 2oo
people. The exterior will be of stuc-
co, light will be obtained through
stained glass windows and the inter-
ior will be furnished in much the
same style as a church. Construc-
ton work will be undertaken early
next spring. Mr.. Bucknum is to be
commended for his progressIveness
and enterprise.
Now, if the owners of the cemetery
will get together and transform that
sacred spot from its present disgrace
full condition to one of beauty, dying
will be robbed of its terrors.

Democratic Rally.

Frank Martin will deliver a politi-
cal addres at Emmett on Thursday,
November 2. Mr. Martin was once
the attorney general of the state.
At several presidential elections, his
name has appeared as one of the
electors on the Democratic ticket.
He is one of the old war horses of
Democracy, and has been an active
campaigner at every important cleo
ton. Mr. Martin always impresses
by the breadth of his views and his
fairness in discussion. We do not
look for flights of oratory, but for
facts and arguments. Mr.. Martin
will, no doubt, be heard by many of
the citizens of Gem County of all
political persuasions.

Goes East for Choice Cattle.

]. |. Guthrie of Hanna left this
week for Missouri to purchase for
the First National bank carload of
pure-bred Shorthorn cattle, of the
milk strain. In the selection of these
animals he will be assisted by the
Missouri State Agricultural college.
The object of the First National in
buying these cattle is to encourage
the beef and dairy industry of this
section, and they will be sold on easy
payments to those farmers who desire
to increase and improve their herds.
1t is a good move.

WEISER TOO MUCH

Superior Weight and Experience

(By Harold Haylor.) J

The Weiser High School football
team was too heavy for our boys,
giving them the second defeat of the
season last Saturday. The score was
62 to 0.
Unnecessary roughness was preva-
lent during the game, but the sports
manship and clean playing of the En-
nett team called forth many favor
able comment Weiser made her first
touchdown during the first few min
utes of play and the eight others were
simply a repetition. Goal was kick
ed on all excepting one. Weiser's
team had everything. They were
heavy, experienced, had excellent de-
fensive, and worked the forward pass
to perfection, while Emmet was light
er, had no experience and only rag
ged defensive. Notwithstanding these
shortcomings Emmett played her
game we'll and kept up her spirit un-
til the last whistle blew.
The regular players began the game
but substitutions were made during
the game to give the subs taste of
real battle. Before and during the
game the many loyal Emmett root
ers cheered themselves hoarse show
ing that they had not lost confidence
in the team even in inevitable de-
feat
