This overwhelming Republican show
ing has been made in every state ex-
cept those generally classed with the
solid south.
But fresh registrations where party
designations is required show the
same tendency. In Baltimore the Re
pubhcans have gained over 1000 and
the Democrats have lost over 1000. In
Philadelphia there are 242.54S who
have registered as Republicans and
only 1868 as Democrats.

There is no question in my mind but
that we are going to carry this state

extreme optimistism. The Democratic
effort to discredit William e. Borah
has been productive of results, but not

friends, and they are legion from one
end of the state to the other are now

magnificent majority which Hughes
will receive in this state will some

their resentment OF the blow so Gov
ertly aimed at ldaho's illustrious

John F. Baird, editor of the Nerd
ian Times-The prospect is good for
a splendid vote in the Meridian section
for the national Republican ticket.
The campaign carried on by the Re
publicans throughout the nation has
been dignified and devoid of sensation
alism, the speakers and the press have
impressed the people with a sincere
desire to secure the triumph of Re
publican principles, in order to give
us protection to American labor and
American lives The Republican party
is the only great national party, that
can care for the interests OF every
part of our great country On the
other hand the opposition party has
always been sectional, and the great
northwest, with its varied industries
nearly all of which need a wise pro-
tective policy to insure their growth
and development, should have their
/ friends at court. The people of Idaho
realize that the prosperity of our in
dustries now depend upon the whims
| and caprices of some southern gentle
men, residing south, who are strangers
and unacquainted with our needs and
conditions. and have resolved to make

HAWLEY is APPLAUDED.

Governor Hawley spoke for two full
hours. He was interrupted time and
again by the clapping and cheers of
his listeners, which more than once
was unusually vigorous and prolonged.
And these people had just been eating
barbecued beef-which is not conducive
to animated enthusiasm. When he
finished speaking he was urged by
people in all parts of the tent to con-
time, but left the stage laughing. He
alluded to the unprecedented prosper
ity OF the state, which he denied was
due alone to the war, maintaining that
it was largely due to Wilson's mag
nificent administration. He further
predicted that this prosperity would
continue, for he pointed out that tariff
problems were no longer a question OF
the Republican or Democratic leanings
of the legislature, as President Wilson
had had a tariff commission appoint
ed. which like the railroad commission,
was removed from politics and would
recommend tariff changes If necessary,
no matter which party was in power.
He then told the audience that in his
opinion Wilson was the greatest finan-
cial genius Of the age, for he had made
panies impossible. He referred to the
federal banks. and the rural credit
laws. and said that in the past the
farming community had been paying a
higher rate Of interest than any other
class of people, whereas they, being the
original producers of all wealth, should
have been paying the least.
Under the new law, he said, II would
not be necessary for the farmer to pay
more than per cent on the longest
term loans. The cheers that greeted
this statement showed plainly that the
law was one which had won the en-
tire approval of the farming commu-
nifty.
Although the Republican leaders and
their rich and highly subsidized papers
in the east did everything in their
power to prevent the passage of this
legislation, there has not been one
single candidate for election who has
dared to say that he will work for the
repeal of this legislation, which shows
what good legislation it has been." he
said.

DEMOCRATS HAVE
GREAT MEETING
AND A BARBECUE
Elk Governor Hawley and
Frank Martin Heard by a
Large and Enthusiastic
Crowd at Meridian.

Meridian. Nov. 4.-Meridian showed
that even when two come for every one
expected her people will rise to the oc-
casion and entertain them with lavish
hospitality.
On every hand We're automobiles to
the number of several hundred, and
there were also tied to the fence posts
hundreds OF horses. One thing which
was noticeable was the preponderance
of gray horses. which is due to the
fact that the warning nations will not
buy them.
The very highest praise is due not
only to the people who got up and
carried through this great meeting. but
also to those who did the actual man
ual labor For three hours and longer
the people kept coming up to the
tables to be served from the barbe-
cued beeves, the loaves of bread, the
pickles and the excellent coffee.
After lunch those who had been
served, and 1900 were served, together
with those who were not able to get
near the tables or did not come until
after they had lunched. took seats in
the tent and after a little enjoyable
entertainment by a quartet of young
men with excellent voices. listened to
the principal speakers of the day.
Ex-Governor Hawley spoke on ma
tional affairs. and Frank Martin, can

INTEREST TOO HIGH.


When the cheers gave away he
added: The statistics of 1910, which
no one has contested. prove that the
entire agricultural and pastoral popu-
lation of the United States averaged s
per cent on all loans, whereas the rail-
roads and commercial bodies were pay
ing as low as 3 to per cent. The in
dustrial enterprises will pay no more
than formerly, but the farmers will
pay less. These two great classes will
meet in the financial mart on equal
terms"
Referring to Mexican affairs he said
that when a man went into a foreign
country for the love of adventure or
the purpose of acquiring wealth, he
knew that he was taking a certain risk,
as did he himself and those other pio-
neers who came with him to Idaho be-
fore it was a territory. and they had
taken the risks for the sake of the
game.

with great emphasis there is not a
mountain side, there Is not a valley or
a desert in this great state which has
not the unmarked grave OF some poor

civilization that allows its citizens to

son should have to fight to maintain
him in his possessions"
Deafening cheers met his remarks on
this subject. and he mentioned the fact
that Mrs. Hearst also owned 100000
acres in Mexico.
Governor Haviey closed his mag
nlficent address with the following
words:
Il will go as far as any man. and so
will my sons, on the bloody field of bat

John G. Williams Barn Burned
Monday NIGHT

Dodgeville Sun Republic: The large
barn on the farm, two and half miles
east of Dodgeville, owned by the John
w. Williams estate and occupied by
John G. Williams. was totally destroyed
by fire about ten O'Clock Monday night.
A few loads of new hay had been
placed in the barn, and it is supposed
that this caused the fire by spontaneous
combustion.
When the fire was discovered it had
made such Roadway that the entire
building was in flames, and the heat
was so intense that no one could go
near it. No property was destroyed
with the barn except the hay and one
calf. A small building, some distance
away, was connected with the barn by
board fence and contained a quantity
of dynamite. The fence was knocked
down and the building saved.
A large crowd gathered on the scene
in not more than quarter of an hour
after the alarm was telephoned to town.
The loss was somewhat more than
81 900, with insurance of 1000.

MYSTERY at DouSman,

Platteville Witness: While working
in one of the fields on the E. Mericale
farm southwest of Dousman, Waukesha
County, horse driven by Frank
Mericale suddenly dropped through the
surface out of sight. Upon investiga-
ton hole 6 feet in diameter and 8
feet deep, shaped like jug, the top of
which was about feet beneath the
earths surface, was found. The sides
of the hole were perfectly smooth, and
no opening leading to it could be found
to indicate that it had been dug by
some animal. Mericale says he has
cultivated the field for more than fifty
years, but never noticed anything about
the surface of the earth to indicate that
there was hole beneath.

NEWSPAPERS ESSENTIAL
PART OF MODERN LIFE

Everybody reads papers these
: days. Most persons read two or three
: or sometimes more. They are as essen
tial as breakfast, as regular as supper.
You get the information you
seek along with much other news, gossip,
fact, fancy and entertainment.
The paper that is so essential to
you is equally essential to your neigh
Dor. He too, reads it and finds therein
the things he wants to know It's appeal
is universal, it's circulation co-extensive
with mankind.
That is what makes the news
paper the best advertising medium that
civilization has devised. 1t reaches
everybody, or at least the fraction that
it does not reach is 50 small us to be
negligible. And even the few who may
not read the newspapers will be guided
by those who do, 50 that an advertise
ment will bring business from those who
never see it.
