Nampa. Nov. 4.-Throughout Ada
and Canyon counties sentiment for the
election of Charles z. Hughes as pres
ident of the United States has assum-
ed vast proportions during the past 10
days and is constantly increasing, or
at least this is the view of Republi-
can leaders in the various cities, towns
and communities who have been in
terviewed in reference to the existing
political outlook, They claim at this
time it is no eXaggeration to say that
the two counties in question VIII re-
turn magnificent majorities for the
national Republican standard bearer
Where in different localities number
of weeks ago there was a wavering
to Wilson consequent to the slogan
of the Democratic party, He kept us
out of war" there is now q. firm stand
for Hughes. That the effort of the ma
tional and state Democratic organiza-
lions to concentrate their efforts upon
carrying the state of Idaho for the
specific purpose of humiliating Sena-
tor Boral and weakening his wonder
ful national influence, has also been
strong factor in changing the tide, is
the assertion of Republican leaders.
Republicans in Ada and Canyon
counties declare that this, move of the
political opposition has been the de-
cisive factor in changing the tidal
wave of sentiment, They emphasize
that in their great desire to weaken
the great influence of ldaho's favorite
son who. as United States senator, has
accomplished so much for his people
within the past 10 years, the Demo-
Gratis of the state have failed to pro-
perry estimate the great admiration
of the citizenship of the people of the
state for him and that full and COM
pete recognition of the appreciation
which the citizens of the state have
for the legislative work of the senator
may be had from the great majority
which will be given Hughes at the APP
preaching election.
STATEMENTS BY LEADERS.
Something like an adequate idea of
the proportions this resentment has
assumed may be gained from the fol-
lowing interviews taken from leading
members of the Republican party in
the counties of Ada and Canyon:
e. II. Dewey, of Nampa-The trend
of political development in this state
indicates that ii will go in the Re-
publican column next Tuesday. l con-
fidently predict a magnificent major
ity in both nation and state. False
issues will not save the state to the
Democracy Both Charles f. Hughes
and d. w. Davis, the Republican CUB
ernational nominee viii receive great
majorities. In seeking to humiliate
Senator William f. Borah the Demo-
cratic leaders of this state made
fearful mistake from political view
point. The citizens Of this state too
fully appreciate the great work Sena-
tor Borah has done for them the past
ten years not to resent any attempt
to humiliate and weaken his wonder
full influence. That effort means that
the state will cast its majority vote
for Charles +. Hughes. The great It'd
al wave of sentiment throughout the
nation is towards Hughes There is
growing recognition that the pros
perity which this country has enjoyed
the past year or more is of an artifi-
cial nature, that ii was created by the
European war and will terminate with
the end of that war and that then
should the free trade policy of the
present national administration con-
tinue we will witness a repetition of
the financial depression and financial
inactivity which have characterized
other Democratic national adininistra-
