COUNTRY AWAITS
PEOPLES VERDICT
ATPOLLS TUESDAY
Local Interest Centered
in Result of State
Campaign

The 1920 presidential campaign
virtually came to close Saturday
night, and tomorrow the American
people will render their verdict at
the polls on the questions that have
been strenuously debated for the
last three months. The campaign has
not been the exciting kind that most
presidential campaigns in the past
have been, but in the closing days
gave evidence that a little longer
period of campaigning might have
developed some excitement. The out
come, of course, is in doubt until the
votes are counted, but the odds seem
in favor Of a sweeping Republican
victory In the state and nation. Pre-
election forecasts have all been for
Harding, but all signs are said to
fail in elections. This proved to bo
the case in the last presidential cleo
tion when Hughes was expected to
win by large majority. Democratic
supporters are hoping that history
will repeat in the present election.
The state campaign has been pro-
ductive of more excitement than the
national campaign, and politicians
are watching with keen interest the
struggle for the governorship be-
tween Davis and his opponents, and
the Gooding-Nugent result.
Whatever the outcome, it ia the
saving grace of the American people
that they will Immediately proceed
to forget the differences that may
have arisen in the heat Of the cam
paign, and start figuring the chances

casting their votes.

MILLS ADDRESSES
CAPACITY HOUSE
N. P. Speaker Talks
Two Hours and Then
Gets Money

Walter Thomas Mills spoke at the
Isis theater ON Friday night from
S.35 to IL o'clock and then took q
collection and the house responded
with coin. e. A. Doud presided at
the meeting, and A. J. Crandall, the
Independent candidate for state aud
itor, addressed the audience from
hve minutes past 8 until 8.35.
Mr.. Mills is a man of advanced
years with white hair and white
sideburns. He is picturesque per-
son and when ne appeared on the
stage the audience laughed. He
seemed to enjoy the good Joke and
posed as II he was accustomed to
that thing. He has . good voice and
is good speaker, q very clever
talker and talked on and on and on.
Usually when anybody got up to
30 out he made some remarks direct
ing attention to them so they felt un-
duly conspicuous. Anybody else who
had notion Of going out hesitated
on account Of what he might say
about them SO he carried out the
spirit Of II dare you to go out"
Partly from that cause and partly
because he was a good speaker and
partly because they wondered what
the rest of his line Of talk would be,
the audience sat tight. A dozen or
fifteen persons, mostly ladies, got up
and left. The house was packed at
the beginning and there were very
few vacant seats at the close.
He said his collections ranged
from $50 to $308 and For, a large
audience like that he anticipated a
good bunch ofSInpney. The money
was to be ised III finance his cam
paign and the campaigns of two other
speakers who are travelling over the
state. The collection was taken and
it amounted to $69.12.
Mr.. Mills, like Mr.. Bryan, is an
entertaining speaker and can talk
long time without saying very much.
He has way Of dwelling upon gen.
country, especially the monopolies.
He said they were working to build

FACTS CONTROVERT STATEMENTS MADE
BYWALTER THOMAS MILLS IN BLACKFOOT

Walter Thomas Mills made the as
sertion at Blackfoot in his address
on Friday evening that wheat is sell
dng for more money in Canada thar
in the United States and that there.
fore 1t was not being imported into
the United States.
During the war the United States
financed and backed up the credit OF
the allied nations. When the war
credit and their money went down
accordingly. The English pound is
worth less than its pre-war value.
The French franc is worth very much
less and the German mark was down
to nearly nothing. English money is
worth 13 " per cent less than Ameri-
can money today. If wheat were the
same price per bushel in the United
States and Canada, the difference in
exchange value in the two countries
would make your wheat worth 26 2-3
cents bushel more the moment you
sold it for American money. Wool
imported from Australia gains in ex-
change value about Is cents pound.

people need a protective tariff read

BORAH PREDICTS
VICTORY IN IDAHO
BY REPUBLICANS
Interest in Tariff One
of Greatest Factors
j He Says
County Chairman o. Buchanan has
received the following message from
State Chairman John Tromas:.

tate Chairman J0hn Tr0maS:t'
Authoritative dispatches to
the press and to Chairman John
Thomas Of the Republican state
central committee tonight cites
that Senator Borah returning
to Washington after a long cam
paign tour, expressed his desire
to see Idaho 60 for Harding for
president, Gooding for senator
and elect the balance Of the Re-
publican ticket. He said, II am
of the opinion that Idaho will
go heavily Republican on the
state and national ticket. One of
the great factors in Idaho is the
aroused interest in the tariff. It
is apparent that the change in
the law can come only under
change of administration as the
law is supposed to express the
final judgment of this admin
stration upon this question. This
will not only swell the majority
for Harding and Coolidge but
also that Of French, Smith and
Gooding. Gooding is particularly
representative of this issue. My
letters from the farmers indi-
cate they. are thoroughly alive
to this feature, Of our economic
situation. But while Idaho is
preserving the American mark
cts for the American farmers
she will, I venture, help to pre-
serve the American republic for
the American people"
Senator Borah states that he
is thoroly satisfied with Mr..
Gooding's attitude on the league
of nations.

Another Snow
Plays Havoc With
Late Crop Harvest

Blackfoot was visited by another
heavy snowstorm Saturday, which
continued Sunday, when about five
inches of snow fell, according to e.
A. Doud, local weather observer. On
top of the storm Of two weeks ago,
the latest snowfall has played havoc
with the late harvest Of potatoes and
beets. Unless a heavy freeze occurs
there will be no material damage,
but the harvest will be delayed. Po-
tato digging is proceeding in spite
of the storm and farmers are hust-
ling to get in their crop. Reports
from Idaho Falls state that q regu-
lar blizzard was in progress there
Saturday.

For Women's Votes Vain
Mary Garrett Hay Says ''Ten-

Senator's Campaign

In statement issued yesterday,
Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of the
League of Women Voters of New York
City, declared that "one of the great
obstacles in the path Of reelection for
Senator James Wadsworth jr. is la
beled Tennessee
women throughout The State of
New York who have followed the
ratification fight in the Southern
state" said Miss Hay. "know at what
cost to women of time, health,
energy and money the fight will be
Won
For this reason they feel particu-
larly bitter toward the man who has
for long time appeared before them
as the personification of unjust and
violent opposition to the esfranchisc-
ment of American women"
Miss Hay declares that the Senator's
quest for the support of New York
women in his own campaign for re-
election is ridiculous and offensive
Says Miss Hay:
"How self-respecting, patriotic
women can vote for Senator Wads-
worth, either at the primaries or cleo
ton time, is beyond the compre-
hension of those who grasp the true
significance of his past and recent
actions.
Defeat should and will be their
answer to his demand for public recog-
milton from his constituents"

Foresters Praise Harding
Stand on Conservation
American Association Says Is
sue Is One of Biggest for
Next Administration

From The T'fbune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-In tele-
gram to-day the American Forestry AS
sociation congratulated Senator Hard
ing on his statement to the Ohio edi-
tors, in which he pointed out the needs
Of forest conservation and the need
Of national forest policy.
Here is a question Of the greatest
national Importance" says the state
ment. "The pulpwood and print paper
situation is getting more acute every
day. and it is encouraging to see that
one of the candidates for the Presi-
dency is fully aware of the facts in
the case. Just to-day statement from
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association shows that despite print
paper imports the shortage is still
acute. We are now importing two
thirds of our print paper here, whereas
ten years ago we produced our entire
supply.
"As to the need of more forest pro-
duction, the fact that the price of
mill lumber has jumped 300 per cent
in five years indicates that the supply
Of lumber is steadily decreasing and
provision must be made for new
growth. The question of enetional
Aorest policy is one of the biggest the
next administration can take up and
one that demands first attention"

self and that "the League of Nations
is the best safeguard for peace of this
country, as we'll as the peace of the
world" George r. Lunn, of Schenec-
tady speaking in his Senatorship pri-
mary campaign at the Moose picnic
here to-day, predicted a war ten times
more terrible than the European war
unless the nations Of the world adopt
measures to make it impossible.
"At the signing Of the armistice," )"
Mayor Lunn said, "America stood at
the pinnacle of moral power through
out the world But partisanship and
prejudice brought forth a bitterness
and hatred that made impossible rati-
tication Of the treaty and the League

He said that Germany was rapidly
fulfilling the conditions that would
make her in time a member of the

out are revolutionary Mexico Boil

hours discussion tonight, the repre-
sentatives Of the miners on the Joint
scale committee of the central com
petitive soft coal field announced an
agreement had been reached on the
wage demands they will make to the
operators, but refused to divulre the

framed the request for a reopening of
the wage agreement made last spring,
following the award of President
Wilson's coal commission, and, judg-
ing from the loud voices emanating
from the conference room, the discus
sion was heated.
