ALEXANDER
CANNOT WIN
Present Governor Is Not Supported In
His Administration In His
Former Strongholds
BOISE EVENING NEWS IS BOUGHT
Will No Longer Be Used To Advertise
Moses Alexander

BOISE, Sept. 1S.-That Governor
Alexander has already started his
active campaign for reelection will
not be news to the people of Idaho.
In fact he has never stopped cam
paigning since the fateful Novem-
Der day in 1914 when a mistaken
community placed its destinies in
his hands. Just how successful he
has been in making the people away
from the capital city and its sur
rounding communities believe in his
integrity and wisdom will be de-
termined by the vote on November
7 next. If judgment as to the re-
suit was to be based on how the
people of Ada and Canyon coun-
ties feel, it would be known now
that d. w. Davis would be elected
by somewhere between $4,000 and
10000 majority over Alexander. In
1914 Alexander carried these two
counties by a majority over his near
est opponent of something over 5000
votes. Just as surely Davis will
carry these counties this year by
more than that over Alexander. The
same word comes from Twin Falls
county, which in 1914, gave the
democratic governor and the whole
ticket large majorities, but which
will as surely this year, vote the
republicans by a total reversal of
public sentiment.
Sources of Strength and Weakness.
But the republican campaign COM
mittee is not resting on its oars,
nor depending upon the visible re-
versal of public sentiment regarding
the governor. With Alexander, those
who loved him most two years ago,
revile him now, there is appreciation
vile him now, there is appreciation
of the fact that he has been stage
managed and given publicity with
rare skill, and that he is one of the
adroitest politicians ever seeking
public favor in this or any other
state. He has the art of homely
speech down to a science, so that
even the toughest of the roughnecks
feel him to be a kindred spirit. In
his utterances he has even gone
so far as the display his socks, to
prove that he was not to be con-
founded with what he is pleased to
term the silk stockinged class that
oppose him.
His favorite stunt has been talk
TO the farmers about something of
which he knows little, and they
from the nature of the subject even
less, if that be possible. But still
with large air of wisdom he talks
of rural credits legislation, pros
pective or accomplished, on the new
farm loans banks soon to be estab-
lished, and conveys the impression
that something will soon be handed
to his hearers without their having
to make a return either in the pres
ent or the future. He has the idea
that he is putting this over on the
rural population. The republicans
believe a rude awakening is due
him. This thought is based on their
confidence in the intelligence of the
farmers of the state and in their
ability to recognize the counterfeit
when it is shown them in the strong
light of publicity.

The Easter maid will be perfectly

gloves of the new bisque shade, for
these are smarter Just now than pure

from her hat will float the newest

Worsted woven suits come under the
classification of sport suits or knock
about suits. Three typical Easter
tailleurs are illustrated. Each one of
them will make Its initial bow to
spring in the Easter parade on Fifth
avenue. That some of the new tall
leurs are hard to tell from one-p!ece
frocks Is demonstrated by the costume
Of striped silk with new, elbow sleeves.
This suit has a short. basque-like coat
and long tunic- overskirt. but the f1t
at the waistline Is so smooth and close
that the lines of frock are suggested.
There Is a fitted and slightly boned
lining below the armpits and the soft

a master hand could attain-the mas
ter hand in this instance belonging to
Doucet. The silk Is striped almost In
visibly in two tones Of the ground
cOlor-coffee brown-and a deep hem
OF cloth in the darker brown shade
conceals a facing of haircloth. Under
this stiffened tunic Is a full but un-
stiffened skirt OF tho taffeta. There Is
a suggestion of the cape collar In the
pleated tab that falls below the stand
Ing collar. This tall collar and the
flaring sleeve are edged with cream
plisse net. The loose sleeves are faced
with hairlace-a lighter grade of hair
cloth-and fall over inner sleeves OF
cream net finished with cuffs of the
taffeta and more plisse net frills. Note
that the pointed ends of the silk
sleeves do not fly loose but are caught
down flatly to the silk cuff Of the UNI

Flower baskets are given at Easter
as well as candy boxes and some of
these baskets are exquisite affairs. des-
tined to be treasured long after the
flowers are gone as work-baskets or
receptacles for trinkets. A tall
handled gilded wicker basket is filed
with tiny pink debutante roses; n low
white basket holds growing violets;
lily of the valley Is massed in an
other white basket with a wlsp of
pale green and silver tulle on the
handle. Artificial flowers for the cor
sage make charming Easter gifts.
Most luxurious are Easter candy
boxes these days Aside from the
candy itself, which costs no trifling
price. three pounds at a dollar a pound
being deemed about the proper
amount for young lady at Easter
season, the boxes are things of de-
light in themselves. Many of them
are intended for workbasket cts - after
the candy Is gone-and there are fas-
cinating little shirred pockets for
thimbles and buttons and heart
shaped pincushions tucked into cor

ners of the box.
AS for Easter eggs, here they are
again in old time numbers and new
ideas. Some Of them are filed with
candy; others with gifts. In small
and humble candy shops one discovers
those delightful eggs which thrilled
our hearts In childhood-eggs with
glass windows at the end through
which one peeped at marvellous land
scapes and scenes. There are chOcO-
late eggs, too, with wrigglng lines
of white candy frosting over the sur
face-these also reminiscent of old
fashioned Casters; but II is the mod
ern Easter egg that entrances the
modern child-the Easter egg not
wonderful but comical. The military
suggestion clings to two 1916 Easter
eggs. Very clever to be sure Is DON

egg, with velvet ears thrust into the

swarmed over the counters and in the
windows Of candy shops; and though
the bunnies are still represented In
vast numbers in every Easter showing.
one notes a growing favor for furry
animals Of the cat species as Easter
representatives. There is a good old
German tradition back of the hare as
an Easter pet but just why the kitten Is
lifted to a pinnacle of favoritism at
this season is hard to determine-ex
cept that soft. furry white kitten
with blue ribbon around its neck is
even more lovable than pert. long
cared rabbit similarly bedecked.
Chicks there are, too, a-plenty; and
they have good raison d'etre at
Easter season, for as everybody knows
the relationship between eggs and
chicks Is q close one-and eggs from
time immemorial have been the spe-
cial delight of Easter celebrations.
Ducks have their place with the chicks

not particularly suggestive Of Easter
or a dovecote-add much to the In
terest of this pretty Easter contrap-
tion.
There are many dainty place favors
for bridal luncheons at Easter season.
Tiny white satin slippers designed to
hold candy or salted nuts come by the
pair and four pairs will be enough
for luncheon Of eight-the bride
to-be. her six bridesmaids and the
maid Of honor. Little bisque cupids
are equally charming; one especially
pretty conceit shows plump cupid
disporting In q white slipper - both
made of bisque. II one desires a
bridal Jack Horner. tho cleverest idea
Is q huge white rose. made Of crepe
paper with white ribbons trailing out
through the petals, each ribbon Of
course being fastened to a gift. This
is very pleasing way for the bride
to present remembrances to her
bridesmaids.
Place cards for the Easter brides
maid luncheon show many original
designs Perhaps the most attractive
are simple white cards hand deco
rated with orange blossoms and Easter
lilies in combination. There are cards
with cherubs and cards with white
ribbon bowknots. For an Easter
luncheon have been prepared some
dainty place cards showing n white
Easter rabbit holding by ribbon a
medallion in which are the initials
of the bride and groom to-be. Other
place cards are decorated with bas-

In other respects the suit might be

spring are middle-aged, in spite of

A Scallopcd Easter Suit.
From Paquin comes the gay little
silk tailleur with scallops fluttering
everywhere; or at least, the original
model came from Paquin. This is a
reproduction of the Paquin suit in
American silks, plain colored taffeta
for the coat and silk marquisette over
taffeta for the double overskirt Fawn
tones are blended in the suit and the
boots have fawn kid tops The airy
collar and cuffs, attached to dainty
blouse, are of cream mousseline and
the high Directoire turban has spread
ing bows of grosgrain ribbon In a soft
pansy shade most delectable with
fawn. Everything about this costume
is scalloped-the overskirt, the droop-
ing cuffs, the edges of the coat, and
even the poise of the hat bow sug-
gests the scalloped line. And the
whole effect is indisputably gay and
pretty and spring-like.
The maid with an opened parasol Is
ready for balmy Easter Sunday. Her
frock of black taffeta and embroidered
net partakes of the Spanish character

Mr.. Offutt was identified with many
interests IN and about Oakland, being
one of the original stockholders and
founders of the Mountain Lake Park
Association; owner of the Oakland cleo
tric lighting system and was also the
president until few month ago of the
Garrett National Bank, retiring from
active business life only when he was
unable to give his personal attention to
details on account of the encroachment
Of disease and advancing years.
He was first stricken about a year
ago with an attack of kidney disease,
but regained to some extent his health
he was able to attend to business of a
minor nature until late during the past
winter when he was'again attacked and
from which he never recovered. For
six weeks prior to his death he had been
in an extremely critical condition but
his family had entertained hopes of his
recovery and the announcement of his
death yesterday morning came as a
great shock to the townspeople general
ly.
Mr.. Offutt was unpretentous in the
extreme. When he did a kindly act,
which was very often, no one but him
self and the recipient knew Of it. He
lived quiet life, loved and respected
by many outside of his own Immediate
community His death is sincerely
mourned by not only his family but the
the people of Oakland generally.
He was a member ofthe PRESBYTERIAN
church Of Oakland for which edifce his
funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon
at $50 O'Clock.
Mr.. Offutt was q Democrat of the
old school; he never held Office except
that of Mayor of Oakland. although he
