SedIs anu elther prove L am right on
the primary question or that 1 am
wrong I believe in fighting out these
things within the party that is able to
accomplish things and not go crazy
enough to vote for party that never
did anything, never will do anything
that resulted in any good The only
thing the other parties have ever done
is to shoot off their mouth and
the government in debt, whether
it be state or national government they
get hold Of by fuke."

Another man, who is noted for polit-
icai persipacity said to me in summing
up the work of the different conven-
tions:
Il believe the republicans will win
out this fall without any trouble, the
only real fight being for the governor.
And here enters the progressives in
the situation. Samuels will poll quite
few votes, more than he did last
time but those votes will mainly come
from the democratic side of the fence.
The republicans are pretty well united.
The action of the convention at Wal
lace in letting all the delegates talk
on all the questions and even carry
their fights to the floor of the conven-
tion when defeated in the committee
resulted in their being closer together
than ever, despite the fights, warm
and bitter, that were waged there.
Borah will support the whole ticket.
He is too smart man to set himself
up as stronger than the party and too
shrewd to be taken in by this pro-
gressive party, which is an altogether
different party than the one he and
Roosevelt formed at Chicago. That
party is dead and all who went out of
the fold at that time are now back in,
except few radicals with whom the
party is better OF by their detection.
Nose is the only one outside the re-
publicans who stands any show at all
and he is between the devil and the
deep sea. If he throws the rest over
board and goes for himself he will
have them all knitting him and if he
tries to carry the party with him on
his personal popularity he will have
an awful load to shoulder"
There you have it, the opinions on
both sides of the fence.

Nowadays the daily papers are full
of news regarding the railroads cutting
the rates on potatoes to the Chicago
markets. 1t is proposed and in all
probability will be put into effect a cut
of 20 cents a hundred on potatoes from
Idaho to Chicago. While Shoshone is
not especially interested in this early
potato rate it is interested in seeing
just how the former. comes out in this
transaction. With the new rate it will
cost 761s cents to ship the potatoes to
Chicago, there is an icing charge at
this season of the year that will
amount to about 221a cents and he
will have to pay a commission charge
for selling the potatoes of 10 cents and
the sacks he puts them in will cost
him 10 cents EACH total of s1.1s.
Potatoes are selling on the Chicago
market from $3.50 to $3.50 a hundred
pounds. If he receives the top price
he will have 81 cents a hundred to
pay him for the seed he used, the use
of the ground, the labor in careing
for them and the cost of digging and
hauling them to the cars. And when
you figure these items up he is in
luck if he has a profit of l cent hum
dred on his investment and work. No
wonder people are leaving the farms
for the city
