An urgent appeal has been sent out
by our government through the Red

drive of one week, beginning Decem-
Der II and ending December "a, for
the purpose of securingat least TO-
100000 additional members of the

things it represents, make this ur-
gent plea to the business men, pro-

rial Valley chapter, to weigh well the
meaning and significance of this great
move at this time.
To me personally it seems, not only
an opportunity, but also privilege,
to be of real service to our govern
ment as such, and also a large per-
sonal service to our friends and
neighbors, who are now in training
for the great conflict and for those
who are already over there.

HE THROWS DOWN THE BARS

Senator Borah has hurled lucous apple OF dis
cord into the arena of Idaho politics by announcing
that he will retire the end of his present term 1t
is conceded that Senator Borah well entrenched
in this state could continue in the senate ndef
inteIv as 'the gentleman from Idaho" with to
modest him or make him afraid.
But with Borah out of it, there is prospect OF
scramble such has rarely been seen, scramble
among miscellaneous collection of citizens OF all
shades of political opinion
Without batting eye the politicians of south Ida
no have started dispose of the plum. If it goes 10
a Republican it will be Frank R. Gooding E. H. Dewey
or Addison T. Smith If it to Democrat it will be
j. II. Hawey John F. Nugent or Moses Alexander, all
from the Some of those astute polite
ians there should get periscopes and make one
last desperate effort look the Salmon river
In filling Borahs shoe there is in the
world why such James F. Aishe, James e.
Babb and Burton L. French, among Republicans, and
Harry L Day and George A. Tannahill, among Demo-
Gratis should not be considered
Another point that might be considered by polite
north and SOUTH and that is that there are many
to be considered in this connection besides
the who have been the turf for years Senator
Borah is old He young when
he forged to the front Idaho. There is reason
why other young should forge to the front
1t barely possible that the retiring senator may be
succeeded by not prominent in the public
this time. Many things may happen in two years.
Naturally there is wide speculation to what Sen
ator Borah is Naturally there is deep interest
Idaho in his plans for the future. Leading up to the
last presidential campaign he strongly urged in
many parts the country the logical leader of the
Republican hosts their candidate for president He
frowned on all these movements. He knew that the
candidate wouI be chosen from small state
as Idaho and from in the The outcome
vindicated his Judgment.
But should Senator Borah establish himself in
New York should he retain his national prestige,
there in sight this time why he should
be seriously considered Republican candidate
for the presidency when there is chance to nominate
and elect him. In far his professional future
concerned there is cause for worry the part
of either Senator Borah his friends.
