REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES,

The Idaho Republican platform ID
regarded as one Of the most patriotic
and constructive that has ever been
written by political party In this
state. Its declarations with respect to
the war are only what could be ex-
pecte from representatives Of the
party Of Lincoln. 1t handles vital
questions affecting the producer and
consumer in Idaho In a straightforward
and practical manner and not only
promises relief measures, but sets
them out In detail SO that there can
be no misunderstanding of the party's
attitude.
The party's candidates admirably fft
this platform. They are broad minded,
loyal. conscientious men, shown by
their works, not alone by their words,
to be cOnsecrated to their country and
welded to the development Of their
state.
That Is true of all the Republican
candidates, but more especially Of Mr..
Gooding and Mr.. Davis, who. since this
country entered the war. have given
most Of their time to war work and
who have, for many years, been instru.
mental In building up the state In both
material and moral sense.

ATTENTION, FARMERS!

The following wire has been re-

1t is hoped that all farmers ar,
in position to hold their wheat un-

cate that this should happen within
a reasonable length of time.

pleasant surprise. when Mis-. Rob

corn, sunfiowers, fancy work and
sewing. Also writing exhibits and
