CANYON COUNTY
To UPSET DOPE
IS BELIEF NO "
Republicans Will Break
Into Progressive Of
fee Holding Ranks is
Prediction.

Boise-Canyon county. the stamp
ping ground of Idaho Progressigesm
the pas, two years. will surHrise al
bu, the wisest OF political dopsirrs
next Tuesd1y
Far from being a sure Progressive
bet. the county is certain 20 elect
Republicans TO several count, oin1cs.
AT least one Democrat. los Bird oi
Nampa. is considered to be a sure
winner. Mr. Bird seeks the j)b o.
county commissioner. Tie IS backed
by Democrats. Republicans and
Senator Borah will lead the Re
publican ticket in Canyon county. tie
will lead il because he has no Pro-
gressive opposition and because Pro
grcssivcs will be unanimous IN voi-
ing for him. But Borah viii no, be
alone. Where two years ago. w. W.
Deal OF Nampa carried the county
by 1000 votes. Burton l.. French
| is almost certain TO win over Perry
Mitchell. Mechell. by declining to
say whether he is Democrat or Pro
grcssive, left bad taste m 'hc
mouths OF many voters who can see
no object in sending such vaciI'at-
ing person to congress. French. b.
reason OF his seniority. has big
claim on Idaho support whi,h vii
no, be lacking when the public votes.
French. by reason OF his seniority
has big claim on Idaho support
which will not be lacking when tn
public votes. French was assured
support on every hand by former
opponents on his recent visit to the
county.
Samuels is noi going to have
walkaway in Canyon county either
Recently compiled figures showing
up the extravaganza OF county Pro-
gressive commissioners mas been a
factor in this steady breaking away
OF Progressive strength. Assurance
that troublesome motor and motor
license laws will be amended by the
next legislature has been another
factor is swinging voters to Charley
Moore. Not only is Moore going TO
poll the full strength OF his own
party in this county but many Dem
ocrats are openly ready 10 vote for
him. Indications on the eve OF the
election are that if Moore does not
carry the county, his total vote will
come close that polled by Samucls.
Freehafer is certain to run third
and poor third-in Canyon but
reliable summaries If the vote for the
state indicates that he, not Samuels,
will land in second place.
Tom Hartley Republi ar candidate
for county commissioner. is regarded
as already having a certificate OF ell
ecton in his pocket. A long time
resident OF the county. Mr.. Harley
the Progressive ballot But Boyd
will get the nonpartisan vote. Henry
Beck, Progressive candidate to sue
cced himself. has been unable to hold
his strength and many leading Pro-
gressives are openly working against
him.
O. G. Boyd OF Parma. Republi-
can candidate for sheriff, is making
4 campaign that promises to land him
in the court house. He is opposed
by o. Y. Mason. present Progressive
sheriff, and admittedly is fighting
against one OF the strongest men on
more difficult TO dope" But caseiul
has been making whirl wind cam
paign that looks like success. Leon
Fisk OF Nampa is picked as another
Republican winner for probate judge
while Mrs. Rcavis. Republican can
didaie for school superintendent, has
been making great drive for sup
port. Ralph Breshears looks like an
other good bet
One factor which is not generally
considered is the fact that Canvon
county is notoriorsly hckls. -Four
years ago. the county was Democrat
ic. Then !, went Republican with a
bang Two years Republican county
government were followed by ano,hc.
overthrow and the cle~ii-n 81 a com.

!, looks like another slide.
