By Harold Haylor.

The reception given by the E. H. S.
Athletic association last Saturday
evening, to the Nampa players and
their supporters, in the high school
auditorium, proved a ground gamer.
The festivity was in the form of a
Halloween party and appropriate
games were played. Coffee and
doughnuts were served at 10 o'clock.
The bacl1field of the school team
and Mr.. Horne went over to Nampa
this afternoon to see the Nebraska
state football team practice Mr.. Horne
is acquainted with some of the play
ers, having graduated from the uni
versity, and the boys expect to get
some valuable pointers on the game.

are: John Gamage, president; Fred
Whitsell, vice president; Helen Coch-
ran, secretary-treasurer; Paul Foster,
yell master, and Miss Reeder, the

HUGHES LEADS IN POLL
OF NATION
Has Is Out of 80 States-Re-
publicans Gather 76 Per
Cent of Progressive Drift.

All over the United States the New
York Herald is recognized as an au-
thority on forecasts Of presidential
elections. 1t has been so for 20 OF
30 years. The following from the
Herald of the 14th inst. will undoubt-
edly prove interesting at this time
Arrangements have been made to Sc
cure these weekly forecasts up to
election week. They are probably as
nearly reliable as can be made. The
Herald says:
Charles E. Hughes maintains a
slender lead in the race for the presi-
dency.
President Wilson has made slight
gains. The margin of safety for the
Republican ticket has narrowed con-
siderably since the canvass started,
but the indications as shown by the
107, 100 straw votes are that if an
election was held today the normal
Republican strongholds would roll up
pluralities just large enough to give
Mr.. Hughes majority in the elector-
al college.
The changes during the last week
were less marked than during the
previous week. The race is close.
The tabulated vote follows:

LECTURE COURSE TIC
KETS AT PREMIUM
Entire Allotment Sold in Quick
Order-First Number at
Tabernacle Tonight.


Lecture Course tickets went like
not cakes this year, and the entire
allotment of $50 seats has been over
subscribed When the canvassing
committee met Monday to report the
result of its labors it was found that
the allotment had been exceeded and
further sales were stopped. Such an
occurrence has never before happened
in the history of the lecture course or
ganization and there was great jubila-
ton.
The seating capacity of the new
theater will be approximately 400. C.
d. Bucknum thinks he will be able to
increase this to a possible $50, so that
there will be between so and rs sin
gle admission tickets available.
The first number, by the American
quartet, will be given tonight in the
Tabernacle, beginning promptly at
8 o'clock. The revival meeting will
commence tonight at 7 o'clock and
expect to close at $50. This will give
30 minutes for the audience to become
seated. Mr.. Bucknum promises to
have his new theater completed in
time for the second number on No
vember "a and subsequent numbers
will be given there.

Injured by Automobile.

Cecil Kaufman, nephew of Ival
Hankins who is making his home with
him, was knocked down by an auto
mobile Monday night, and severe
wound inflicted on his right leg. The
accident occurred at the railroad cross
ing on Washington street. The auto
was being driven by Clarence Skin
ner and was the third in a procession
of three, and all the cars running at
the lowest speed. The boy attempt
ed to pass between the two last cars
and was hit before the car could be
stopped Those who saw the unfor-
tunate accident absolve the driver of
the car from any blame. The boy was
taken to DR.. Cummings for treatment
and three stitches were required to
close the wound The boy stood the
ordeal bravely and is getting along
nicely

Arrested and Locked Up.

Mr.. Spiketail Porcupine came to
town Friday and because he carried a
number of concealed weapons he was
arrested and locked up for an inde-
terminate time No doubt the missus
and the kids are worried over his long
absence from home, but his jailor is
hard hearted and refuses to give him
his. freedom. Speaking of porcupines,
did you know that an unwritten law of
the mountains forbids them being kill
ed except through necessity? The
reason for this is that in case anyone
becomes lost in the mountains a por-
cupine may be found and killed with
d club, thus providing food for the
wanderer Fool hens are also pro-
tected for the same reason.

Gwinn Fuller to Blackfoot.

Sheriff Nichols was called to the
hot springs ranch on Squaw creek
Saturday by the strange actions of
Gwinn Fuller. He was accompanied
by w. T. Calender and Bill Fuller.
Upon arriving there they found Full
Ter armed with an AK and a knife,
and considerable strategy was resort
ed to to capture him. He was finally
seized and handcuffed, brought to
town and kept in custody until Mon
day. when he was taken to the Black
foot institution, there being no doubt
he was insane. Mr.. Fuller had pre-
viously been an inmate of the Black
foot asylum, but was released some
time ago upon the request of rela-
tives, as he seemed to have been cur
ed.

THE BATTLE
CRY OF PEACE
Electric Theater, Thursday, Oc-

IN Eight Reels-The Greatest War
Drama Ever Filmed.

"The Battle Cry of Peace" by ]
Stuart Blackton featuring Charles
Richman and other eminent Vitagraph
Stars.
Hudson Maxim, international au-
thority on. arms and ammunition, de-
livers lecture graphically describing
Americas defenseless condition. John
Harrison, inspired by Maxim's dis
closures and realizing the awful con-
sequences to which our national un-
preparedness may lead, resolves to
consecrate his every effort to the
cause of adequate defense He is en-
gagged to Virginia Vandergriff, whose
father is an advocate of national dis
armament and peace at any Price"
John makes a fruitless effort to show
Vandergriff the fallacy of his stand
Vandergriff's friend, Emanon, osten-
sibly a peace propagandist, but in
reality foreign spy, is the head of
a band of conspirators plotting the in
vasion of America. The invaders ap-
proach New York The news reaches
huge peace meeting at which Van
dergriff is a speaker. In the midst
of this meeting a shell crashes
through the walls of the building. The
battleships of the enemy, out of range
of the guns of Fort Hamilton, Han
cock and Wadsworth, are able to bonn
bard New York
Shells are devastating the buildings
in the downtown district. Homes
are desecrated; citizens slain without
mercy. Terror reigns. Johns mother
and sister are killed. Vandergriff is
shot in the street. John is bayineted
in defense of the girl he loves. As
climax to the horror, Virginia's
mother, to avoid disgrace at the hands
of the enemy, kills her two daughters
and herself.
An allegorical masterpiece is shown
contrasting Columbia, bleeding and
trampled upon by a merciless foe with
Columbia as she should be-proud,
commanding, supreme.
Eyes, there shall be peace-but
peace with plenty-peace with honor.
First performance at 1880; Second
performance at $50. Admission 15c

EMMETT PLAYED NAM
PA TO A TIE
Emmett High School Holds Fast
Nampa Team to 6 to
Score.

With only a few weeks experienc,
and much lighter team, the Emmett
High school played the Nampa HigE
school football team to to. 6 score
Saturday in a game that was marked
by fast work and good generalship
Nampa had close call from being
shut out, scoring five minutes before
1 the close of the last quarter
Emmett won the kickoff and by
end runs and line smashing made re-
peated gains. Then a forward pass
carried the ball to within a few feet
of the goal and in the next scrimmage
the ball was pushed over the line for
touchdown. Goal was missed by a
scratch, the ball striking the bar full
in the face Score for Emmett.
The second and third quarter re-
suited in no special advantage
to either side.
In the last quarter Nampa carried
the ball down the field by series of
line bucks and made touchdown.
Goal was missed Score for Nam
pa.
The playing of the Emmett boys
was surprise to not only the En-
NETT people, but also to their adver-
saries, who figured they had an easy
victory. To Superintendent DeBolt
credit is due for the showing. Taking
green bunch of boys and in four
weeks training making them able to
hold even the seasoned players from
Nampa is wonderful record. But he
had good material to work on, and
with the correction of a few weak
points manifested in Saturdays game,
the boys will make a record to be
proud of this season.
The touchdown for Emmett was
made by Will Langroise, and Clark
scored for Nampa. There was big
crowd present The line up:
Emmett = McProud, center; Gam
age, right guard; Knox, left guard;
Hunt, right tackle; Downing, left tao
kle; Fuller, left end; Whitsell, right
end; Clark, quarterback; Langroise,
right halfback; Kidd, left half5ack;

To the Voters of Gem County

Fellow Citizens
Because of the fact that constitu-
tional amendments are oftentimes
overlooked at general election and
thereby the will of the people defeat
ed, we wish to call your attention to
the amendments coming up at the
present election.
The amendments are printed on
pink paper separate from the poiiti-
cal ballot and will be handed to you
together with the political ballot. 1t
is the duty of the election officers to
require every voter to take one of
these ballots and also to return it to
the ballot box when he has finished
voting, but the election judges some
times overlook this fact and at many
polling places these amendment bal
lots are gathered up at the close of
the day and put in a ballot box,
whether marked or not. Any one en-
tering a booth where number of
these are laying might vote them to
suit his pleasure. Therefore, we urge
upon the voters of this county to
vote the amendment ballot first and
hold it in the left hand while voting
the political ballot and return it to
the ballot box themselves. To vote
for the prohibition amendment, known
as amendment No. 8, put your cross
mark after the word ~yes-"
This does not repeal the present
prohibition law, but Incorporates 1t
into the constitution of the state and
thereby takes it out of all politics IN
the future.
Yours respectfully,
R. R. COON,
FRANK KNOX
R. E. ROSE,
V. T. CRAIG,
F. C. BERRY,
C. L. GAMAGE,

Total ---.----.---.-- ---------.-107, 100
There are many indications that the
mountainous Republican pluralities of
the Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft
years are dangerously threatened. On
the other hand, the President is hold
ing his own in the strictly Democratic
territory, and is apparently certain to
get such States as Tennessee, Ken
lucky, West Virginia and Oklahoma,
in each of which the Republicans be
lieved short time ago they had a
fighting chance. The States of New
York, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana will
beyond all question decide the cleo
ton. Any one of them may.
The straw votes for the Herald in
dicate that Mr.. Hughes has the bet
ter of the situation in New York, Illi-
nois and Indiana, and it is ''toss up"
in Ohio.
Illinois, which was presumed by
Republicans to be overwhelmingly Re-
publican and conceded by the Demo-
Gratis to be very likely to go strongly
for Hughes and Fairbanks, has begun
to waver.
In New York conditions remain
about as last week. The President,
from present straw-vote indications,
will have a small plurality-small by
comparison-in New York city, and
Mr.. Hughes will have a small-also by
parison-plurality upstate, and
calculations made from the 1S,05S
straw votes taken throughout the
State indicate that Mr.. Hughes will
have the forty-five electoral votes of
this perhaps vital commonwealth
In the thirty-five States polled Mr..
Hughes has a majority in eighteen
and the President in seventeen. In
no one of the Safes, with the excep-
ton of California, is there anything !
like a large margin between the
votes of the two nominees. Califor- I
mia, out of a total of 11,189 votes,
gives Mr.. Hughes plurality of 5691.
There seems to be not the slightest
doubt that California will roll up a
large plurality for the Republicans.
In Ohio, out of total of 1859 votes,
Mr.. Hughes leads by the margin of
l13.
The following table shows the per-
centage of the straw vote going to
the two principal nominees in thirty
five States where the Herald's poll
IS being conducted:
