Boise, Oct. 22.-That Idaho will re-
turn an exceptional majority for the
Republican ticket from top to bottom
and that the southeastern portion oil
the state will maintain its old tradi-
tons in party support was the ex-
preston of Senator John w. Hart,
Republican national committeeman
from Idaho, who arrived in Boise last
Friday. He recently returned from
Republican headquarters at San Fran
cisco and has made close study of
conditions in the intermountain states.
In generally commenting on the stu
alton Senator Hart said among other
things:
"The sentiment for Harding and
Coolidge appears to be practically
unanimous as the people of our state
sistent and to accord the greatest
sphere of protection to our own in
dustries it will be necessary to elect
Frank R. Gooding to the senate as
we'll as Congressman Addison T.
Smith and Burton L. French to the
house. The Idaho congressional dele
CATION will run along in very salts
factory manner with the head of the
ticket and the voters have realized
that it would be disastrous did we
not elect a Republican congress to
support Harding and Coolidge. It
is necessary for us to harmonic on
this basis and if we are to get any
where on the readjustment Of tariff
conditions so vital to the industries
Of the northwest it is essential that
we stand absolutely solid for the Re-
publican ticket.
II find the sentiment generally
throughout the state is very strong
in sustaining Senator Borah's position
and his fight to finish against the
Wilson league of nations. They are
backing him to the limit.
Protection for Farmers.
1T has come home to US in very
a protective tariff on the products of
the farm and we must look out for
protective measures to safeguard the
other interests vital to the intermoun-
tain country. By the election of
Frank Gooding for Senator and Smith
and French as congressman we will
have placed Idaho's confidence in a
strong congressional team as these
three will work in harmony with SEN
ator w. E. Borah on any and every
proposition.
Every fair minded person who
thinks, has discovered that in the old
time Democratic doctrine Of free
trade, rs they call it. we have a thing
that is playing havoc with the indus
tries and other points throughout this
country unsold, and since we have
permitted the importation of hundreds
of thousands of carcasses of frozen
Australian mutton and beef the prices
of our own lambs and mutton have
gone tumbling until today not one
in ten can raise enough money to buy
hay to feed his flocks the coming
winter. This ondition makes the
stock grower and producer extremely
down-hearted and discouraged, and Z
very large percentage of sheep has
ter as result of this depressing con.
dition. This means that a vas
quantity of hay in our own state will
not find market and considerable
suffering will thereby be entailed.
Vigorous complaint comes from
cattle men who will not be able 4
realize enough on their beef to pa,
what it cost to feed them last win
ter. A great many of our farmers ar
desperate in that they have put int,
their crops extremely high priced Ia
Dor only to see grain figures reduce
as result of the Importation of grair
free. In fact, the United States Q
America is now being made the dump
ing ground for the products of othe
foreign countries and we are bein
taxed. We support the governmer
and it is extremely unfair to allo'
other people to come in and exercis
the same privilege of enjoying GU
markets and taking money out of tn
country and not paying solitar
cent to assist in maintaining it.
In regard to the state situation j
this campaign you can rest assure
that the southeast will be true to il
traditions and will roll up its Gu.
tomary high majority, and the peopl
will show by their vote that they d
not want any more free trade. As
result every precinct will come
with strong majority for the Repul
lican ticket from top to bottom.
Gooding Campaign Effective.
1T is interesting to note in tn
connection that many Democrats VIII
have tired of the situation and ii
embarrassing that is in evident
within their own party in this can
paign, will join the Republicans an
vote the ticket straight, thereby maj
ing sure their own party will not |

The Democrats have concluded tn
they are without a party of their ow
this year and are more than Statistic
to ally themselves with the substanti
men and women of the Republics
side.
Frank Gooding has made a wo
derfully effective campaign and
tariff argument is regarded by Dem
Gratis as striking home with the pr
ducers. Conditions throughout Il
state have revived remarkable int
est in the tariff situation and peop
have decided that the only way
