Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1916-11-05

II am also convinced that the people
of Idaho are heartily in favor of plac-
ing in the governors chair man, such
as our candidate, D. W. Davis. whose
policies will be constructive, who will
enforce every economy consistent with
needed development and with proper
regard for the welfare of our state in
situations, who will stay or the job
and attend strictly to the pubIic's busi-
ness and who will gauge his official
acts solely by the benefits tb be con-
ferred upon the people without dis
elimination.
Moreover. Idaho is normally a Re-
publican state. Is it reasona BILE to as
sumo that Republicans will abandon
their fixed principles or de sert their
party upon such pleas as have been
advanced by the opposition in this
campaign
HUGHES ALLIANCE CLAIMS.
j. H. Gipson, chairman of the
Hughes Alliance said:
II am confident, indeed that Idaho
may be safely placed in the Hughes
column. ] was as pessimistic n month
ago of the result of this election as l
am optimistic now, and believe l
understood condition very well a
month ago. and l am confident that
I understand them fully as well now.
/ am making a prediction that Hughes
will have a plurality of not less than
| 10000 in Idaho after the votes are
counted. l am basing my estimates on
the reports of speakers, the reports of
precinct committeeman and the re-
ports of chairmen of the Hughes ALI
ance and workers located in every
part of the state. Altogether, I have
received more than $50 of these re-
ports, which have been carefully tabu-
lated and weighed. and ! can say to
you. confidently that we could not lose
this election in Idaho this year unless
we should absolutely quit n pw, and we
are going at 1t harder than ever
"A month ago, the people had not
begun to think about the issues
Prices were good. on account of the
war demand, and the sentiment in the
state on the face of it favored Wilson
We have waged in Idaho the most ire
mendous and l believe effective cam
paign in its whole political history
and the swing toward Hughes has
been pronounced during the past two
weeks, and we are getting stronger
every day. The people, when they
stop to think. don't want to take
chances on four more years of VIII
son. Hughes election nationally is
generally conceded, and our people
want Idaho to be in line with the new
! administration, and behind Senator
Borah whom we all believe will bt
; high in the councils of President
Hughes
Our Democratic friends are making
some large claims. Their favorit,
method is to concede that everything
is all right for Hughes locally bu
claim vast majorities in some othel
section of the state. They have NJ
foundation whatever for any claim.
they make as to Idaho being for Viii
son."
