LOOKS LIKE FUSION

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 25.-"Tle
withdrawal of Samuels from the
senatorial race is apparently the
consummation of tentative fusion,
between the Democrats and Non
partisans, made at the convention
at Idaho Falls when Bates and
Whitaker were nominated on the
former ticket" said John Thomas,
Republican state chairman, in dis
cussing the announced withdrawal
OF the Independent party's candi-
date from the race in favor of John
F. Nugent.
Continuing, the state chairman
said: "The Samuels withdrawal
will have no effect on the senatorial
situation, as the fight has always
been between Nugent and Gooding.
The questions at issue, in this
campaign, will take precedence
over the candidates"
In explanation OF the latter
remark Mr.. Thomas declared that
the people would be called upon to
decide between the Wilson policy
"of extravagance and mistakes in
the handling OF international affairs,
together with the free trade polio.
les of the Democratic party, which
if continued will destroy Idaho's
great industries, and the policies
of the Republican party, which
means peace and prosperity"
''If the people of Idaho are to
endorse the policy Of Wilson they
will vote for Mr.. Nugent. If they
want to trust their affairs to
Harding and the Republican party
they will vote for Mr.. Goodiug."
the chairman concluded.
1t was announced last week by
the Idaho Leader, official organ OF
the nonpartisan league, that H. F.
Samuels, nonpartisan league can
didate for United States senator
would withdraw in favor of Sena-
tor John F. Nugent, democrat.
Samuels filed his formal notice
of withdrawal with the secretary of
state at Boise Tuesday.

SOME GRAIN SPOILED
Return Of Clear Weather Boon
to Growers.

Farmers are pleased With the
change OF weather since Sunday,
sunshine and wind taking the place
OF rain and giving threshermen
and baling crews an opportunity to
complete their contracts. Some
oats and wheat left in the shock on
the prairie were damaged by the
protracted wet spell, but the loss,
1t is said, will be small, although
such grain will have to take lower
grade.
The rain, which was the heaviest
at this time of year for several
years, has been very beneficial to
fall wheat and pasturage. 1t also
strengthens the grass roots for a
better hay crop next year.
Up to this writing no killing
frosts have been reported in this
vicinity and potato tops are still
green.
