TO SPEAK HERE
ON BIC ISSUES
Candidate for United
States Senator to Open
Party Campaign in
Caldwell Thursday.

Hon. Frank R. Gooding, Republi-
can candidate for the United States
senate, will fire the opening gun OF
the Republican campaign in Caldwell
with an address here Thursday eve
ming, October Z, at the Huree theatre.
Inasmuch as Frank Gooding is first
and foremost hard fighter and is
conducting his usual whirlwind cam
paigns in Idaho, it is expected that
his address here will be heard by a
big crowd.
Reports from other sections Of
Idaho indicate that Gooding is being
received everywhere by large and
highly enthusiastic crowds. He is
conducting his campaign largely with
an appeal for Idaho's needs, there
probably being no person in the state
capable of representing Idaho in the
senate who is more familiar with
Idaho problems and requirements.
In his Caldwell address Governor
Gooding will lay particular stress
upon needed legislation in the interest
of agriculturalists and stock growers.

University Men in
Race Stir Students
Interest Centers in State Contests
With Six U. of I. Alumni in
Political Field.

University of Idaho, Moscow, Oct.
4-Largely because of the fact that
six Idaho graduates have places on
the state tickets of the two old parties,
even greater interest is being evil
denced in the state campaign by Uni
versity of Idaho students than in the
more comprehensive contest between
Harding and Cox.
Student interest has conferred par
ticularly around the Idaho race for
secretary of state and state mine in
spector, the Democratic and Repub-
lican candidates in each instance being
alumni of the university. Robert 0.
Jones, candidates on the Republican
ticket to succeed himself as secretary
of state, was graduated with the class
Of 1919 and his Democratic opponent,
George H. Curtis, received his univer-
sity degree in 1908 William Snow,
O6 and Stewart Campbell, '07, both
graduates of the university school of
mines, are respectively the Democratic
and Republican candidates for state
mine inspector.
1t so happens that Jones and Curtis
lived together throughout their careers
on the campus, both having been mem
bers of the same college fraternity
Burton L. French. again Republican
candidate for Congress, who was a
member of the university's 1901 class
and Harry McDougal, Republican
presidential elector, who received his
degree in 1917, are the two other uni
versity of Idaho alumni who have
places on the state ticket.

Big Things Accomplish

Twenty-three thousand men, most

mander of the Homedale post of the

after the parade, Admiral Grant of

was the fact to him that so many men,
freed from military service, would see

rigid discipline necessary to carry out
this parade in the manner that they
did.

minutes after play began and the out,

Only once did Weiser come within
striking distance when in the third
quarter Caldwell mussed up an at

line and the ball went to Weiser. A
mass formation on the left side OF
the line carried the ball within two
feet of the coveted goal line but on
the third down, a Weiser guard was
offside the team lacked the punch to
put the ball over.

On each of these questions, real

the majority action, although when the
final vote was taken. each passed al
most unanimously. Eastern delegates
were opposed to the Japanese stand,
largely through misunderstanding, ac-

CANYON COUNTY
FARES WELL At
BIC STATE FAIR
Many Prizes Come to
County and to Individ-
ual Exhibitors Showing
High Quality Products.

Canyon county's exhibits at the
state fair took prizes aggregating
$3.50. This amount does not include
awards made to individual exhibitors,
the latter also running heavily into
the prize money.
The county exhibit took third place,
Twin Falls winning first prize while
Ada county took second. Canyons
share of the prize money was 5000
for this exhibit. One hundred dollars
was awarded this county on its fruit
exhibit, Payette county taking first
money with. an exhibit that was made
up entirely of fruit. In addition Can
yon county took first prize for the
most artistic display among county
exhibits, this being $50.
That Canyon county is the premier
corn producing county of the state
was clearly shown at the state fair,
Canyon county exhibitors having
taken every prize with their exhibits
except to fourth place. In the Yellow
and White Dent classes, Canyon coun-
ty exhibitors took first, second, third
and fourth prizes.
Canyon county women with ex-
hibits of sewing, foods and fruit took
prizes aggregating $l06.50. Jacob
Mussel of Central Cove took every
available prize with his exhibits Of
European grapes including first on
the largest single bunch of grapes.
Only the fact that he had no Ameri-
can varieties to exhibit kept him from
winning first with his collective ex-
hibit.
Among the other exhibitors who
took high places at the fair were Ray.
mond and Rollie Brown and John and
Leonard Beal of Wilder with exhibits
of corn, Mrs. Jay Galligan of Cald-
we'll in the sewing exhibits and J. S
Hubert of Midway and A. L. Wilson

HEALTHY IDAHO
CROWS RAPIDLY
REPORT CENSUS
State has Population of
431,826, an Increase of
l6,232; Caldwell has
5lO6 Residents.

Idaho has population OF AL $50,
it was announced Monday from Wash
ington. This is an increase of lO6,232
or 32.6 per cent for the past ten years.
Census reports for all towns in
Idaho not previously announced were
made public Saturday. Caldwell has
a population Of 5l06, an increase Of
1868 or AL per cent. Estimates made
by persons who we're familiar with the
growth and development of the town
during the past 10 years, exceeded this
amount somewhat, but in general, sat-
isfaction is expressed with the rate Of
increase. The sentiment prevails, how
ever, that the count was not accurate
because it was incomplete.
Nampa shows a population Of we'll
over 1900 and healthy percentage of
increase. Canyon county has total
population of approximately $4,000 this
being an increase of only 6 per cent
over the number of people residing in
the county 10 years ago. But since
that time, the county has been cut
up to make Payette and Gem coun-
ties. 1t is freely asserted that if the
county had remained intact as it was
in 1910, it would easily be the most
Ipopulous in the state.
In the light of these figures, the
following story prepared prior to the
census announcements has consider
able interest:
eff the census was taken of the en-
tire city. Caldwell people are going
o be surprised at the result when it is

neighborhood of 1000. Today we have
